The Frog Theory

This article of history sure gives one something to ponder over!!!

"If you drop a frog in boiling water he will leap right out. If you
slowly heat the water he will be content until it's too late to get
out. That is exactly how history works. It moves slowly and we never
really see any danger until it's too late.

Remember how suppressed workers were before unions came along? The
unions leveled the playing field. Unfortunately, over a long period of
time the pendulum swung too far. Slowly, businesses and factories
closed and jobs left the country. We were comfortable and didn't see
the change coming. We blamed everyone except ourselves for what
happened. We weren't alert to how slow things change over time.

World War II, and the Korean War, demonstrated how powerful a united
nation could be. Our nation, and our families, were united. The father
was the head of the family and the President was the head of the nation. Both were highly respected. We were content and happy.

We were good at fighting a hot war but we were unprepared to fight a
cold war with the communists in the 50's. They knew they couldn't
change us but they didn't care. Their philosophy was to wait it out
and capture the minds of our children. They loaded our colleges with
many of their professors and waited. It didn't take long to see the
results.

The 60''s ushered in the radicals, drug culture, student protesters,
and the Vietnam War. The aim of the cold war was to divide and
conquer. They divided our families and the nation. The secret to
defeating a polite and respectful people is to scream. The louder and
longer you scream the better your chance of winning. Radicals are
masters at this form of attack. They know if you constantly scream and
repeat a lie it will eventually become the truth.

The media, and Hollywood, hammered us with hate America themes and
stories. Our service men, and women, were jeered, cursed, and spit on.
Even the people, who later wanted to become their President, thrashed
them. We lost our first War in history. There was no hero's homecoming
for our fighting men and women.

The Reverend King, who was raised in the old school, peacefully
changed the race issue and united the people. When he died the new
breed of leaders like the Jesse Jackson's, Lewis Farakhan,'s Al
Sharpton's, and Rev. Wright's put a lid on his efforts and turned
racism into a money making machine.

Corporations were greenmailed by threats of protests, product
boycotts, or endless lawsuits. Every issue, large or small, became a
race issue. The public recoiled in fear of being called a racist.
Their voices were silenced because one word could cost you a career,
get you fired, or get you sued.

Even politicians buckled under to the pressure. The Florida
legislature issued a formal apology for having slavery 200 years ago.
They were thanked by being asked for compensation. There is no end in
sight for this kind of nonsense. America didn't capture slaves and
bring them to America. Their own people sold them to slave traders
from several nations. This knowledge doesn't stop the screamers.
History is what it is and you can't change it. There have been many
tragic events in history. You acknowledge them and move on.

They divided our nation into two separate Americas. We now have
Americans, and African-Americans, although Africa has nothing to do
with being an American. You can be one or the other but not both. You
are what you were born to be. You do not subordinate our country to
any foreign nation. It's equivalent to flying the African flag above
the Stars and Stripes. If you hyphenate two countries America always
comes first.

This election year could be the turning point in our history because
the frog theory has come into play. It's time to step back and look at
how the country has slowly changed since the cold war started. Don't
get caught up in all the hype.

George McGovern was the first Presidential candidate to test the
waters with college students. The Clinton's played a big role in his
campaign. It was the worst campaign ever run. He was crushed in the
election.

Step two was to infiltrate all the information vehicles such as radio,
newspapers, magazines, TV and movies. They were quite successful at
that. Jimmy Carter was the first President to demonstrate the
leadership skills of the far left. Weak military, high taxes, runaway
inflation, 19% mortgage rates, and plain incompetence ended his career
in Washington. Iran, a small country at the time, took American
hostages and kicked sand in our face. By negotiating from weakness
Carter could not get the hostages released.

The big benefit of the Carter years is that they were followed by the
Reagan years. The nation got a clear look at the difference between a
weak nation and a strong nation. Every student should know this
difference. When Ronald Reagan took over the hostages were quickly
released, taxes were lowered, inflation dropped, mortgage rates
dropped, and the military was strengthened. Russia quickly waved the
white flag and waited for another Democrat term.

Clinton took over Carters uncompleted social programs. He weakened the
military and tried to pass large government programs. An Intern
derailed his Presidency. While he was tied up with his personal
problems his lawyers ran the country. He passed up three opportunities
to take out Osama Bin Laden. This eventually cost us the loss of our
Twin Towers, thousands of American lives, and got us involved in a war
with Iraq.

By the end of his term the left had captured a large share of the
media and it flexed its muscle in 2000. The hate Bush campaign got off
to a roaring start. The brainwashing theory of repeating the same
story over and over again was launched.

There were endless stories about our evil nation and its President.
Top-secret plans were leaked to the press and printed for the entire
world to see. Hollywood cranked out documentaries about the evil Bush
administration and our evil military. They laid the groundwork for the
next election. The ACLU flooded the courts with lawsuits and the
Democrat party became a law firm. Almost every incumbent, or his or
her spouse, is a lawyer.

They now have the perfect candidate because they can squash criticism
by playing the race card. If you don't like Obama, or criticize him,
you are a racist. They can hide his inexperience and background by
turning him into a rock star and singing change and hope. They don't
tell us what kind of change, or how it will be done, only that you
should hope for the best. By keeping the hype going they don't have to
put anything of substance on the table.

The only thing we really know about Obama is that his wife has never
been proud to be an American. They want us to believe that his liberal
college professors, Rev. Pfleger, his ties to radicals Bill Ayer and
Lewis Farakon, and listening to the Rev. Wright's hate talks for 20
years, had no influence on his thinking. If they didn't, then who did?
He wasn't in business and didn't see fit to serve his country. These
people launched his political career and their organizations received
earmarks in return for their campaign donations and political help.
They must have had some influence. Rev. Wr ight's church received over
$15 million. That's only one small local church. Think on a national
scale.

The change being promoted is a change back to the Carter years. It
started in 2006 when the lawyer party took over. There have been
endless lawsuits and investigations in retaliation for the Clinton
years. It keeps the lawyers busy but does nothing for the economy. The
economy has been in a downward spiral since they took over.

Returning to the Carter years of high taxes, high inflation, and a
weak military is not the change we are looking for. We cannot cower to
a bunch of crazies whose only goal in life is to kill us.

The old sage's (over 50) will have to play a big role in this
election. The young people simply don't know what the aged know. The
advantage of aging is the knowledge you accumulated. You know what
United States means. You know what the seldom-heard word respect
means. You know how wonderful freedom and independence is. You know
the difference between a strong and a weak nation; and you know what
it takes to keep it strong. You know history because you have lived
it.

Although the old guard is dying off, and getting too tired to fight,
they have to muster one more charge. If they don't, our children, and
grandchildren, will never know the joy and freedom that is the bedrock
of our country. The heat is slowly being turned up and the water is
getting hot. The old frogs better start jumping before it's too late."
