WARNING:

If you like the blog for my submarine, Navy or lean manufacturing stories, but hate anything that smacks of national issues beyond that, please stop reading now.

I promise I will get back to those subjects shortly, but I have been thinking a lot today about the America I grew up in and how much I miss it.

These are just my thoughts and fears on a cold wintry day.

God Bless.

Thoughts on a cold day.

I typically try and avoid politics on the blog these days. The country is so divided and common sense is a rare commodity. But I’ve been thinking a lot about how much the country has changed. The loss of control at our borders has allowed what is tantamount to an invasion to occur. Recent statistics for how many invaders and where they come from is staggering. I don’t care if you are right or left, the sheer volume alone is enough to concern anyone.

It goes beyond the humanitarian element. Most people I know are compassionate and would be generous to a fault. Look at how many communities pull together after a house fire and do everything they can to support the family affected. That is human nature and that is a blessing.

But we aren’t talking about a house fire. We are talking about a conflagration that is out of control. And no one seems to be able to contain it.

The side effects are everywhere. Small communities on the border used to be the focus. Not now. The government is reacting to the sheer volume by moving large groups in the dead of night all over the country. Where the schools and health care systems in border towns were once the sole focus of the impact, it’s everywhere you go now. How do you hide ten million plus people?

The answer is you don’t.

We have been told not to worry since they are only here because they were not treated well there. They simply want to make a new life in America and have a chance to prosper. But more and more we see people from places like China and the Middle East. Its no longer the oppressed from Latin America that are showing up. The people who needed to emigrate for economic reasons long ago left their little houses to come here. This is an entirely different group of people.

The threats

Truthfully, the threat goes well beyond just an overwhelming of our resources. It goes beyond the unimaginable cost of housing and feeding people who do not speak our language and require extraordinary amounts of resources just to survive.

The real threats include the immersion of people who come from areas where health care is non-existent. Since health care is non-existent, common ordinary vaccines are also non-existent. Diseases long thought to have been conquered are now free to cross the borders and infect those who have no immunity based on our advanced immunological status.

Included in that invasion is the cultural shifts that occur. American has always been a melting pot but we are now in a progressive age where everyone is being encouraged to just be themselves. One only has to look at areas where large amounts of Somalis were brought into the country for humanitarian purposes and see the cultural shifts. They came here to escape there but now they want here to look like there.

The single biggest threat though is the large amount of unvetted invaders that are slipping through the fingers of the authorities. Criminals and thugs add to the mix but what worries me most are the ones who might be sleeper cells. People who have been sent here to prepare the groundwork for an actual invasion someday. With the softening and weakening of America in our schools and higher levels of education, it is not inconceivable that these sleeper cells are already in place and getting stronger by the month.

We have a history of allowing our tolerance to cause us great harm. The men who executed 911 were allowed to live and work here as well as train for the greatest attack on our soil. Anyone who says that it can’t happen again is foolish at best and dangerous at worst.

I have travelled the world in the last seventy years. No other country in the world would allow this in either great or small scale. No other country would allow such a dangerous situation to continue to exist once it was identified. Yet here we are. No end in sight. And the government does nearly nothing.

The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty if we are strong—yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

Psalm 90:10

I do not anticipate that I will last too much longer although it is in God’s hands not mine. But I mourn for the children who will never know how great of a country this was before the invasion. I also pray that they survive the things that are surely coming from the misguided choices those in power continue to make. May God have mercy on their souls.

One last word.

I know that Americans are compassionate and generous to a fault. But until all of our homeless veterans who lack the proper care and medical resources that we owe them are cared for, I am not interested in talking about how many invaders we should house or provide limitless benefits for.
