I am an American by CHOICE and today, I give thanks to this great country for all the undiscriminating opportunities it has given me throughout my 20-plus years here! Unlike our President, I am not here to apologize for America… Quite the contrary; I am so PROUD to have fought to become an American citizen!
I was born and raised in Brazil and came to this country in 1986 at the age of 14, to live with my uncle at West Point. My life in America couldn’t have started in a better and more American place than the home of the “Long Gray Line”, the home of heroes and true believers in “Duty, Honor, Country”! While at West Point, I met my future husband, a young cadet, son of Cuban immigrants, refugees of the horrors of the bloody Che Guevara/Castro communist regime. Two years later, I joined my parents and brother, in California. Our family came here LEGALLY to be part of the American dream; Life, liberty, opportunity and the pursuit of happiness. I did not come here to take “advantage” of or change the system but to be part of this great system. Through tough times, hard work and without any government hand outs, today I am proud to say that my father is on the verge of retirement! So, as you can tell, my family and I, we have lived the American dream and we want to keep the dream alive for our children and grandchildren.
During the campaign last year, just like Joe the Plumber, I decided to stop sipping my latte while screaming at the TV. I decided that as a devout American citizen, who has had the opportunity and misfortune to live outside America’s borders, that it was my duty to get off my couch and fight for the freedoms that our Founding Fathers put in place for us and which are currently being hijacked by this administration and Congress.
So, on that note, let’s talk about what we must do in order to avoid the traps laid down by the enemies of our uniquely American way of life.
Our economic health and high unemployment rate have, and will continue to be, important issues of concern to all of us. If you think the economy is in trouble now, you “ain’t seen nothing yet.” President Obama and the Democrat-controlled Congress are quickly destroying the economy of our nation with bailouts, stimulus bills, cap-and-trade, endless deficit spending and now the take over of our health care system approved by no other than Fidel Castro!!! Don’t be mistaken, the Chinese are paying close attention to what is happening in America. They are hedging against the obvious weaknesses they see in the American economy and Dollar. If the media would do its job, this would not go unnoticed!
But let’s put the economy aside for a moment. We need to take a step back and also understand that we are suffering a national moral identity crisis here today, identical to the revolution that my home country suffered. It came about through a well planned Marxist program that took control of education, media communication, entertainment and religion over the course of two generations.
These days, I find myself astonished as I realize that there is a direct correlation between what is happening in the United States today and what happened in Brazil and most of the rest of Latin America: I make no apologies. What is gradually being imposed on America today, the land of the once free, is Marxism through and through. I like to call it 21st Century Marxism, a camouflage statement for Communism since we are not fighting a bloody battle, instead, we are fighting an ideological one.
The model for implementation of 21st Century Marxism is quite simple:
· First and foremost, the press is used to create economic instability.
· Then, a “progressive” candidate is introduced to the masses as the “Messiah” who is going to regulate the “evil capitalist system” and fix all societal problems.
· This candidate has a political platform with plenty of social “changes” that will fix the inequality between those who work hard and pay their taxes and those who have “nothing because of the rich” (To each according to their needs from those according to their means). Everyone will be more equal and feel better about themselves!
· This Messiah is adored by the media and the entertainment industry who unthinkingly and blindly preach his social programs to the masses.
· The election process itself is corrupted by voter fraud and intimidation.(Look at the work ACORN did to ensure Obama’s election!)
· Upon taking office, “social” programs are immediately implemented, benefiting those who helped get him elected to the detriment of the tax paying class that bears the bills and struggles to keep its standard of living. Ex: Look at the sweet deal the UAW got with General Motors
· What we fail to realize at this point is that the campaign is not over!!! An extremely clever and massive psychological campaign of self exposure is needed in order to demonize any and all possible political opposition. The same media machine available during the election now provides uncountable hours of prime time TV printed media space assuring the necessary exposure. Our tax dollars along with his Presidential status will allow him to criss-cross the world and the nation so that he can continue to market his cult of personality.
· At the same time, the image of a “Messiah” is branded into the minds of our children at our schools, assuring worship from future generations.
· The false image of a universally approved “dear leader” is created, making the opposition voices sound completely out of context.
· A majority controlled legislative body passes necessary constitutional changes needed to increase the number of terms as well as minimize the possibility of the build-up of a strong opposition. These laws are then rubber-stamped by a judiciary loyal to the party in power.
· The democratic way to keep the Messiah and his Marxist agenda in power is now accomplished. However, if their agenda creates a social-economic environment bad enough even to their own believers, opposition will try to democratically reverse the situation by defeating the Messiah and/or his designated successors. That is when the Marxists in power unilaterally call for the end of democracy and announce the start of a new era of government for the people.
Is this starting to sound familiar yet. It should!!!!
So, even though many Americans would not know this since political events in Latin America rarely make it in to the news here (although it is in our own backyard), we are on the same political path that 21st Century Marxists in Latin America have used to “democratically” elect Presidents such as Chavez in Venezuela, Lula in Brazil, Morales in Bolivia, Correa in Ecuador, Kirchner in Argentina, Ortega in Nicaragua and many others.
What we are witnessing in America is a duplication of what has happened in Latin America; the same tactics are being used here: infiltration of the education system, implementation of class warfare ideology, voter fraud, brainwashing through mass communication and hollow promises to the lower economic class that will never be implemented due to the real and hidden agenda of these politicians.
A few months ago in Honduras, we saw yet another example of how Marxists tried to stay in power by illegally changing the Constitution of that country. Most disturbingly, our own President aligned himself with the America hating Chavez, Castro and Ortega, all die hard Communists who were supporting another well known Communist, Manuel Zelaya. Have Obama’s true colors finally come out?
How will we combat Marxism without real leaders emerging in times like these? The answer is simple; we can’t and we won’t. Once in power, the first point on the Marxist’s agenda is to destroy any real conservative leadership they see as a credible threat. All we have to do is take a look at what the Main Stream Media has been trying to do to Sarah Palin during and since the elections. But do not be mistaken, they will not stop there. Look at the left is trying to do to discredit the tea party movement by calling us racists and much more!!
The people of South America who believe in freedom and not tyranny are fighting to remove these corrupt leaders from the power gained in sham democratic processes. In many instances, however, it is simply too late. Marxists have taken over the legislative and judiciary branches of those countries through a combination of corruption and ideological maneuvering. Citizens of those countries, just like you and me, are paying the price for believing in silver-tongued politicians who make promises they know they can never deliver on. They believed in “hope and change” and let me tell you, there has been “change” in Latin America, just not the change the people were waiting for.
Although this Marxist ideology has already infiltrated us so deeply, we must remind ourselves as Americans that we should not accept defeat. This is why we are here today and this is why we have to continue to grow the grassroots movement. We have to unite and act. We must not just talk the talk, we have to walk the walk in order to be successful in taking our country back. We need to engage and educate people about the Constitution of our country and the proper role of government. We need to discuss the issues at hand and act upon them! This is not a call to arms; this is a call to education! It is a call to action! My fellow conservatives, I am happy to say that the grassroots movement is reacting to the minority that is “stealing” our country from us and we are taking back control of the future of our children.
Let’s reverse the mistake of November 2008 by bringing all conservatives and independents together, while reforming the GOP, to enforce grass roots conservative morals and principles of freedom from tyranny and government excess by electing those who will honor their oath to the Constitution. Folks, we need to continue to wake up the “sleeping giant” and show our fellow citizens that elections have consequences.
We have witnessed the beginning of the end of this administration in NJ, VA and now MA, a state where only 12% of the population is registered as Republicans!!!! But we must not lose focus; this is just the beginning. The grassroots movement is real and together we have what it takes to free ourselves from the tyranny of big government during the next 7 months. How do we do that? We start by reforming the GOP so that it can once again be a home to conservatism!!! We must hold the Republican Party accountable to our conservative values by paying close attention to who they run as candidates. Americans are angry and frightened and we are fed up with both parties, but forming a third party is not the answer to our problems right now as time is running out. We need to put pressure on the GOP to once again be a Party which will try to solve the things the American people fear the most: terrorism, the economy and the loss of honesty and transparency in our government. We need to send a loud and clear message emphasizing conviction over party by demanding candidates who will once again stand up and fight for small government and more freedom! And, in order for our movement to become even stronger and effective, we need to all learn the first rule of the grassroots: rallies and marches, educate the people, lobbying, getting the right candidates elected to office and fundraising.
So, my parting thought to you is that we need to regain control so that we can let “the people” and not the government, once again govern our great nation. Remember, the government works for us; we do not work for the government and if we don’t have freedom, we do not have life! I have left my homeland once and I refuse to let America go down without putting up a fight!
God Bless You and God Bless America!!!
