the miracle nation on a path of destruction

1. Until recently, I considered myself a good citizen because I worked hard, paid
my taxes, devoted myself to raising my family, voted in all national elections
and most local elections and expressed my patriotism on national holidays.
About a year ago, I sensed that we were starting to experience more than
the normal ups and downs that America had gone through and that I needed
to do more.
As a result, I started reading about Americas founding history and tried to
understand what has and is going on in our more current history.
Although, I come from a period of time that the history of Americas
founding was readily taught in school, as I re-read the founding history
some 50 plus years later, I was awe struck by what I realized from my studies.
I realized that this is truly a Miracle Nation.A Miracle Nation that can
never be recreated.
As I read about more current history, I was horrified when I came to the
realization that our Miracle Nation is on what I believe is a path of
destruction.
A path of destruction that will deprive most of us, our children, our grand-
children and those beyond of the freedoms, liberties and opportunities so
many Americans have been so fortunate to have experienced.
As a result, I want to make others aware of why I think this is a Miracle
Nation and why I think it is on a path of destruction, in the hopes that many
more Americans will get involved in helping knock America off the path of
destruction I believe it is on.
.

2. We can not and must not leave the preservation of our Miracle Nation to
the politicians.
The presentation that follows will intersperse three elements that I believe
have made America a Miracle Nation, with the two elements that I believe
have put America on the path of destruction it is on.
I am not a professional presenter, do not have an actors voice and Im self-
taught in making the displays that you will see, so please view my
presentation for its content, not its artistic merits.
My motivation for trying to help knock America off the path of destruction
I believe it is on is my gratitude for those that have made the ultimate
sacrifice (picture of soldiers) so that I could live in this great country and
(picture of family).I hope you can come to a similar motivation.
Element Number One of the Miracle Nation (breadth, beauty, etc. of land)
Element Number One of the path of destruction (politicians
irresponsible actions and abuse of power)
Element Number Two of the Miracle Nation (Americas exceptionalism)
Element Number Two of the path of destruction (our enjoyment of
plenty, putting us on a path of destruction because we have left the
politicians to their irresponsible actions and abuses of power
Element Number Three of the Miracle Nation (seven miracles involved
in the formation of America)

4. Government [politicians] is not reason, it is not

and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be
left toirresponsible actions.

It will be difficult to fully comprehend every chart, but you should come away
understanding how irresponsible our politicians have been and how
they have abused power.
