The fighting goes on

13 years ago

To the editor:

While the politicians continue their fighting among themselves, the American people are suffering. As I have written many times before, our leaders have wasted the country’s wealth fighting wars they cannot win and trying to force democracy on other countries of the world. They can’t seem to realize that what worked for America doesn’t work for other countries.

We build schools, roads, hospitals and military bases in other countries and send billions of dollars to these countries that wind up in the possession of corrupt politicians and the enemy we are fighting. Yet the government can’t take care of our veterans who have left their homes and families to fight these wars. The elderly are forgotten or pushed aside.

 

Part of our country is being destroyed by fire for lack of rain while other parts of it are being destroyed by flooding, and no money is available to help the suffering people to rebuild what has been destroyed, while the fighting goes on here at home and abroad. When will our leaders understand the disasters that are taking place in America just didn’t happen — they are the result of God’s anger with the people.

The Holy Bible tells us “ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in many places. For then shall be great tribulations such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever will be.”

America became a great nation because of its founders’ faith in God and the Constitution of the United States of America. Now America stands on the threshold of old age, weakened by moral decay, political corruption, greed and the desire for material things of our times. The words of God recorded in the Holy Bible and the words of our forefathers recorded in our Constitution are considered outdated and meaningless. The result of this will be the destruction of America.
