...In A Dangerous Place by Rich Carroll

The following article was written by our good friend and frequent contributor to Two Sisters From The Right, Rich Carroll.  Rich is a veteran of the VietNam war and he wrote "Orphaned Heroes" a book about his command there.  Since his retirement from Reader's Digest, Rich has been a free lance writer.  He is a well known op-ed writer whose articles often appear in Two Sisters From The Right and other conservative blogs.  His book "Terrorists' Crossing" available through Amazon.com is about our southern border with Mexico.  One critics review reads as follows: 

"This novel should jar the complacency out of all Americans, including politicians, who minimize the urgency of controlling the borders of the United States. The scenarios presented in this story could pose very real dangers to our country and should frighten anyone who doubts our vulnerability to the infiltration of enemies who want us dead. I found the book captivating from beginning to end because the horrors are probably more in motion than any of us dare to think."

Today we are delighted to bring Rich Carroll's latest op-ed piece.  Rich has quite a following among the readers of Two Sisters From The Right.

...In A Dangerous Place

by Rich Carroll

A winding dangerous road in America

My country is $14 trillion in debt; a sum unfathomable in size and scope but a sum that puts Americans in financial bondage to foreign powers we neither like nor trust. We are in this dangerous place because the politicians from both parties we trusted have been the irresponsible parents,

signing checks for things we could not afford.

Each of us faces a foreboding future because of politicians who have forsaken our country and our God and our partnership with Israel to put American citizens in the precarious position of sliding into an existence of third world poverty. We face a not-too-pretty future because we, individually and collectively, took our eye off the ball and devoted our attentions to cults, silly self-aggrandizing pursuits and self-consumed sloth. As a result of our voting for charismatic speakers instead of hard-nosed business people with a record of results, we must now reduce our military to a readiness level lower than pre-Pearl Harbor because we can no longer afford to stay strong and free. We are forsaking our military heroes and can no longer afford to take care of their long-term illnesses and injuries because we have a foreign administration that would rather spend these monies for the care and feeding of illegal immigrants. “We” have no one to blame but ourselves for being in this defeated position, staggering to stand upright in the high winds of one global government. “We” are only as great as our weakest links, who have become bigger and weaker because we didn't keep the main thing the MAIN THING and allowed our children to be dumbed down in socialist experimentation laboratories called public schools. The collective “we” were too busy working or partying or watching television to pay attention to our children's curriculum.

Each day we grow less able to take care of our aged; our parents and grand parents. Financial bondage creates a terrible chain of events to include 47 million Americans using food stamps, a number that will continue to grow in leaps and bounds in the coming years.

We will have to forsake our God because people to whom we owe vast sums of money will want to impose their religion of Islam (and the accompanying Sharia law) upon us.

We will lose our credit rating, and our global prestige. The United States will be one giant “fire sale” for foreign bargain hunters. Your home is now worthless. Office buildings will soon be worthless. Your grand children and great grandchildren will no longer learn about our founding fathers because the new foreign powers who will control us will re-write their history books.

Are you sorry now you removed God from your life, your children and their schools and instead worshiped at the altar of cultural diversity?

What will your dollars be worth when exchanged for a “one world currency,? Thirty-cents on the dollar?

It would appear that the United States in all our glorious history and remarkable achievement(s) will fade away like the ending of a Eugene O'Neill play as a place of seething resentments, aching desires and family tragedy where failure and disappointment are the norm and the American dream a chimera. We are at that disjunction between the sunny public face of American life and the rage that was simmering beneath. We are at that place in O'Neill's poem “Freedom” when he said: “I have had my dance with Folly, nor do I shirk the blame; I have sipped the so-called Wine of Life and paid the price of shame; but I know that I shall find surcease, the rest my spirit craves, where the rainbows play in the flying spray, Mid the keen salt kiss of the waves.”

Are we to survive what lies ahead, each American will know the stiff sacrifice from the altar of excess. Read your history on the depression era and be prepared and hopeful that THIS will be the worst we endure and not as slaves under the whip of Allah. The American spirit CAN survive. We have done so in the past and with God's help we shall again.

Yes we are there. Start today asking for God's guidance.
