Be A Force For Good

The Two Sisters From The Right do not operate under any illusion that we will become famous or wealthy by writing this blog.  Ours, as you know, is a not for profit publication.  We do not advertise, we do not request donations.  Our purpose is strictly to provide a forum of expression  for ourselves,  and our readers.  Often through many of the articles presented here, our readers can become informed on issues and topics of current interest.  In some cases it is an outlet for our personal friends and colleagues to release their own frustrations, worries, and their angst regarding our current political situation. 

We know what it is to live during politically turbulent times.  Even at the height of the counterculture movement in the 1960s when our world was rocked by a variety of  cultural revolutions, we still felt safe in America.   Those who did take part in the various movements had different axes to grind.  The turmoil of those years was triggered by a number of factors; racial relations,  women's rights, and a sexual revolution which altered our mores from then on.   The hippie movement came to the forefront and it spawned a youth subculture which encouraged fighting against the establishment,  sexual promiscuity, widespread use of hallucinogenic drugs,  defiance of civic and parental authority, and of course, the protest of the Vietnam War. 


For those of us who chose not to indulge, it was a spectacle that we observed for an extended period of time.  Many of you lived through it,  most of you were not even born  during those years.  The counterculture movement peaked during the years 1965 (my Sophomore year in college) through 1972 (the birth of my second child).  In spite of domestic terrorists such a Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn of the Weathermen or Weather Underground, and the Black Panthers formed by Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton all of whom were leftist, socialists, we didn't really fear for our country's freedom. We knew our system of law and justice would prevail.

As the demonstrations and protests took place from East coast to West coast, in the southern United States, the Civil Rights movement had gained momentum.  It was successful in obtaining rights for blacks that had long been denied. The Civil Rights movement owes a great deal of its success to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s theory of non violent protest, and also to the many non black Americans  who joined them and often died in their support.  Today, those tumultuous times are but a vague memory.  Some called it America's growing pains.  We survived, not unscathed, but with our sovereignty intact.

We mention those years above because we lived through those times. It wasn't always easy growing up in a post Atomic Age world, or in a nation gripped by the tension of the Cold War. We know what it is like to live in a country undergoing a counter cultural revolution which brought about many cultural and sociological changes which forever touched our lives. This could be why we did not buy into the hope and change shtick. We have lived through change.

The tension that was felt during all those years had a different feel, a different tone, than the tension that we feel today. Many who voted for Barack Hussein Obama bought into the Hope and Change scenario. Little did they realize that being President of the United States of America is no simple task, and Barack Hussein Obama, was not up to the task of leading this nation. Behind his "hope and change" scheme there was a darker more sinister motive: the defeat of a republic whose success is dependent on a free market capitalist system, and to replace it with socialism instead.

In her introduction to her book, Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, Ayn Rand wrote -- "No politico-economic system in history has ever proved its value so eloquently or has benefited mankind so greatly as capitalism—and none has ever been attacked so savagely, viciously, and blindly. The flood of misinformation, misrepresentation, distortion, and outright falsehood about capitalism is such that the young people of today have no idea . . . of its actual nature." American capitalism has never been in such peril.

Yesterday in this blog, BornintheUSA99 asked of our readers, "Had enough?"  He asked how long We The People would tolerate this corrupt, inept, government which has brought our republic to the verge of destruction.  We've seen how the labor unions took charge of the Wisconsin teachers' protest and changed its entire character.  As a result, the teachers lost.  They might not be aware of it yet, but they're losers, one and all. The union interference prolonged the situation, and gave them false hope.  First responders who were not going to lose collective bargaining rights, lost them. All of them were used to suit the purpose of the union bosses.  They were used for media attention, and the purpose it served was to propel unions like SEIU straight into the leftist media's lens.  I was perfect timing for the unions to begin hatching their plan.

The Blaze, a publication read by many conservatives, today revealed an audio recording of a conversation in which former SEIU leader Steven Lerner is heard talking about radical plans and strategies to destroy the American economy by causing disruption and spreading fear, instability and uncertainty throughout the country.  The Wisconsin protesters fell right into their hands.  


In an article published in The American Thinker, Chris Banescu writes, "What the Bolsheviks and communists did to their own people with violence, indiscriminate murder, starvation, torture, and concentration camps, union leaders in America want to accomplish via plans to destroy our financial system, undermine the stock market, disrupt capitalism, redistribute the wealth, and destabilize the country." To learn more about it click on The Blaze, or the paragraph above.


Never, in our many years, have we felt so threatened or so vulnerable.  After the attacks of September 11, 2001, our nation finally took notice of the threat that radical Islamists present to our country.  Since then we've seen countless examples of their relentless pursuit of our citizens' Islamization.  Their blatant attempt to interject Sharia Law into our justice system is proving to be successful.  This is an issue of great interest to those who value their Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms.  Author Richard Carroll has written about it very eloquently in this blog, as well. 


Now we are facing a war on a third Muslim front. The totally clueless Obama, without consulting Congress, has committed the American military to a war in Libya.  Regardless of his assurances that we will be out of there in no time, does he really believe that he can withdraw our people as simply as he entered into this alliance?  Will he really turn control of the U.S. military over to a foreign power?  Each of those missiles fired costs $600,000 and yesterday we lost a multi-million dollar F15 when it went down over Libya. 


The man who criticized George W. Bush for starting a "dumb war" in Iraq has now placed the United States in a supporting role, in a war we simply can not  win under the present circumstances.  How "smart" is that? 


Had enough?  What are we going to do about it?  "Speak Up America, I Can't Hear You!"  We want to hear what YOU think.  We're going to try a little experiment and we can only get results if our readers participate.  At the end of this article there is a comments section.  It is designed by Blogspot, sometimes it is not easy to use.  The easiest way to use it is to write under the title  Anonymous.  Although we  do care who all our readers are, we really want to hear YOUR opinion your ideas.  You can also email us at SisterOne46@yahoo.com  No names will be used to contact you or will be revealed.  We invite your comments.  Are we going to sit back and allow this completely incompetent administration, allied with the union madmen to cripple our economy for their own personal gain.  Are you willing to be used and exploited by union thugs? 


Obamacare was rammed down our collective throats a year ago.  Then Speaker Pelosi told us we needed to vote it in first, and then read it.  Well, we're reading, and we don't like what we see -- neither do doctors and health care professionals.  How much longer are we going to allow this administration to trample the Constitution and ignore the rule of law?  By the time the economic ax truly falls we might not be here, but our children and grandchildren will and securing their future is the passion which drives us.  We're in a struggle for survival against evil forces.


Heed the words of John Adams: " Democracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy, such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man's life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable cruelty of one or a very few." (1763)


Wake up, America.  Speak up America!  Be a force for good, before it is too late!
