Last night I was thinking how we Americans could make the rest of our citizens come to the table and face the facts of reality. Passivity is no longer an option! Relying on the major news networks for the "Gospel" according to Dan, Peter, and Tom will no longer pass the "smell test."

America is not nearly as safe as the leaders want us to believe. We have "wolves in sheep's clothing" among us, and the battle to gain back the heart and soul of America is going to be a long drawn out fight. BUT fight we must because there is no other choice.

Our southern neighbors and "friends" continue to barrage us with complaints of how we are discriminating against their migrants...they only want a better way of life. Fox bitterly detests any legal American citizen standing in the way of his citizens coming to "view the land of the free, the home of the brave, and to take a piece of it while they are here." I guess the old adage "What is yours is mine" applies in this case.

Fox even has the nerve to put out a guide (comic book and DVD) on how to cross into America illegally through our deserts and and do it safely. Talk about presumption! BUT we again are to sit still, behave, not get in the way of these lawbreaking tresspassers, or we are labeled "vigilantes!" ( Is he on a power-trip because he is such a good friend of our President Bush? How many of our readers are aware that these two men were friends in college?) Vicente Fox claims that there really is no border and that we are all one land. Hmmmm...I wonder why his southern border is heavily armed with Mexican military and why they utilize thuggish tactics against those trying to enter from Central and South America?

Everyday new information comes to light about how America's enemies are trying to destroy our very way of life. Very few news reporters are willing to relay the facts to the public, but a debt of gratitude must go to Lou Dobbs for his willingness to be frank and talk about our Broken Borders and how our big corporations are Exporting America. He is garnering more and more respect all the time from people on the right and left because these issues are not politically-based, but America-based. It is what is right and wrong for America and Lou does not put his "finger to the wind" to test the polls. He knows this is his obligation as a news journalist and it needs to be told.

We need to keep the fires lit and to hold our members of Congress, our President, and any other elected official responsible for the safety and well-being of the American citizenry. Two and one-half years ago, no one was being held accountable, borders were unsecured, drugs, weapons, criminals entered.........and Kris Eggle was trying to hold the line just like the story of the little Dutch boy Peter who put his finger in the dike to hold back the waters. Our story had a horrible ending because Kris Eggle was ambushed and murdered for real by invading illegal alien drug traffickers. This is the reality I will live with all of my life.

How about you? Can you make a difference? Will you make a difference? It is too late for my son Kris, but maybe it won't be too late for other sons, daughters, moms, dads, friends....join the battle now. Do not let "Nero fiddle and let Rome burn." Stand for something bigger than yourself.
