I Pledge Allegiance To My Friends of The United States of
America,
and to myself for which I hope they
stand.
Self Worship
People in office
today have a greater allegiance to friends, than they do to
their country. And how is it that such people get into office? They
get into office because so many Americans vote on the same grounds
that their allegiances are, to their friends first.
Too many people care more about
what others think of them, than what is good for our country on a
whole. Everything is too often about the individual, and who will
like him. So, he pays his allegiance to individuals, in hope that
those individuals will return and pay allegiance back to
him.
This is nothing
short of self-worship.
We need people in office who care
for what is good for our country, not that which will make them most
popular with their friends, neighbors, and family members. We need
true statesmen. President Reagan was a true statesman.
If our friends, neighbors, or
family members are doing something that is bad for our nation, then
we should not be standing by them. And we should not vote for those
who will further our friends' causes, when our friends' causes are
not good for our nation. It is that simple.
We need to get back to being
the home of the brave, not the home of the cowards. If we cannot
even deal with someone close to us being upset with us, how on earth
can we deal with entire nations being against us? And how can we
ever be true patriots?
Perhaps self-worship is the true
cause behind the free-fall that America has been on. Call
someone a bigot, intolerant, hater monger, etc, and the person will
most likely seek to prove you wrong by changing his stand, even
if his stand is a correct one. Why? Because the person needs to be
liked and seen as right, more than he needs that which
is truly right to prevail.
Self-worship ---- It was the
original sin, when Satan told Eve that she would be as God if she
ate of the fruit of the forbidden
tree.
