America Recalls 9-11 Today With Random Acts of Violence &Strangeness

9.11.2009
Is our nation literally losing it’s grip? From the uncouth outburst of “You Lie!” made by Joe Wilson right in the middle of a presidential speech, to temporary panic induced today by a strange false alarm picked up from D.C. coast guard radio traffic, to Steve Nunn’s attempted suicide in Kentucky and the violence which was perpetrated against his ex-girlfriend, it appears that, at least today, America is spiritually, emotionally unraveling in a very public way. Forget “a day of service in remembrance of 9-11″ – what we need is a day of prayer! It’s only 2:30 pm in my time zone and I am already staggered by the news of the day thus far.
When a nation trusts and believes in their Commander in Chief, when they feel confident about the present and the future, shouldn’t the special historic days in that country’s national life be greeted with a little more sanity, serenity, and spiritual maturity? What’s happening to this country? Where is our sense of spiritual integrity, inner composure and day to day fortitude? The events of today belie a nation which has no faith in it’s leaders, and has little faith in a future that looks increasingly bleak as the weeks drag on. Wasting the public’s time on unpopular cumbersome and incomprehensible healthcare reform plans at this particular moment in the life of the nation when people are losing jobs, homes, as well as losing all confidence in their own futures, is one of the most monumental missteps I have ever seen a new president make.
To quote a famous phrase from several years gone by: “It’s the economy, stupid!” (And – end the war now, before the financial hemorrhaging gets any worse.) Why should Barack Obama need anonymous bloggers who observe and record what they see happening in our country to point his flailing presidency in the right direction? Will it actually come to that? Will the White House soon be examining blog posts in secret to ascertain the true mood of the nation and what precise direction they should take next?
Just exactly how low will this country fall spiritually and morally under the questionable leadership of Barack Obama? As far as I am concerned, that is the $64,000 question today. America’s news of the day on 9.11.2009 is just bizarre and spiritually sickening.
America seems to be becoming the new land of “grown men gone wild in public.” Where is all this odd behavior,the moments of frantic public outbursts, nonstop outrage, raw violence, and sheer public stupidity coming from? This is not the collective national face we need to present to the world at this particular point in history. If the men who lead this country in government and other significant public posts cannot conduct themselves with a certain amount of bare minimum sanity, nonviolence, civility and psychological normalcy, then perhaps it’s high time that more well qualified and spiritually prepared women step up and run for public office, and put some of these visibly discredited and unraveling men out to pleasant pastures of retirement. We can’t have a country run by men who are murderers, criminals, frauds, who lack the fundamental inner self control to hold their tongues in government chambers during a presidential speech.
Do not get me wrong. I am not a believer of or a supporter of Obama in any way. But there are certain things one does not do, as it harms the image of the nation itself. If we are seen by our enemies as being so irate, unruly and antagonistic in public during such moments, they will surely grow bold to try to attack us. And we have many enemies and they are all watching the American three ring circus. The present state of the Obamanation may be wildly unpopular with many and deeply offensive to the true American spirit, but like train wrecks unfurling in slow motion, some will find it irresistible to watch it take place. Let’s try not to generate any more sideshows, shall we?
I’m in my 50s and I have never witnessed behavior like this going on from public officials in such numbers. It has become “a scandal a day keeps the presses rolling!” in America. Everyone needs to get a grip.
