the question before us today

I've been reading Mein Kampf, which means my struggle. Hitler...well, anyone who's read any history knows he was a bit crazy. Not in a lunatic way but in an evil way. A genius with a diabolical outlook on life. What is so scary about reading this book are the parallels with his ideas and those of Mr. Obama.
There is one very great difference, however. Hitler was crazed by an extreme nationalism. Obama on the other hand hates America. He simpers and apologizes around the world for our great nation. To me it's strange--the country and taxpayers, who pay the bill to send him on all his good will trips are slapped in the face at every turn. True--we do have a few problems here. We have not yet cleaned up our inner cities, but perhaps that has a lot to do with those who live there. Our schools, not most of the teachers, but the school system is in a shambles in many places. Crime is a problem, but perhaps it springs from the above two problems. There is much corruption in government, but perhaps our Constitution has been eroded at all turns. Each of the three branches of government encroaches on the others, because of money.

I'm not really sure what to do. I read and educate myself about the problems. I vote. I pay taxes. I live an honest life. But these don't seem to be enough anymore. Here in my small town it seems that all is well in Zion, but out there beyond the alfalfa fields and high mountains it is anything but well. What should the German people have done with Hitler,when it first seemed he was out of control? It is the question that is before us today.

Reading the scriptures and keeping this journal are my delight. I do not keep an online journal to preach to anyone but myself. I like this format, because I can add pictures and correct my writing easier. If you enjoy reading it, I am happy. If you feel offended, please, realize it is not my intention to offend but to teach myself. No negative comments will not be published.
