In order to maintain its status, the empire and its regime needs the people to believe myths. These myths legitimize their power and status. I have been considering putting together a list of the top 10 myths of the American Empire. A story today underscores the timeliness of the topic. In a recent interview, President Bush came out and stated that Christians and Muslims pray to the same God. This is blasphemy at its finest. In Scripture we are told that there is ONLY one way to God and that is through Jesus Christ. When Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life, all the other options were shut out. So the American people are faced with the choice of who is right Jesus or George W. Bush, they are forced to choose which god they will serve, whether the God of the Bible or the god of the United States.

Could we expect less than blasphemy from a leader who bowed himself to idols when visiting Japan? We are dealing with an idolater here. To an idolater, all gods are the same.  So in one sense he is telling the truth about himself. Many of the American myths have a strange blend of truth and untruth in them, which like Bush’s statement, makes them poisonous.

The whole ‘god of Bush’ story involves two American myths.

1. America is a Christian nation. Many of the founding fathers were Christians, yet the government has enacted policies that are blatantly non-Christian. The adage by their fruits ye shall know them reveal it is not a Christian nation. Some of the blatant non-Christian policies include-legalization of sodomy, legalization of abortion, persisting in unjust wars, banning Christian symbols, torturing prisoners, insisting on US flags being placed in houses of worship, removing prayer from schools, the leader proclaiming that all gods are equal and banning Bible reading from space. It is one thing if such issues were a matter of interpretation of Scriptures, but these are blatantly wicked.

Although the government is definitely not Christian, even though remnants of the Christian faith are part of the rituals (e.g. swearing in on the Bible), such gestures are purely symbolic to appease the people. Many of the people are Christian in their orientation and culture. People want to believe we are a Christian nation. There are many Christians among the people, but having large numbers of a particular faith does not make the government of that faith.  The kingdoms of Israel and Judah had many kings that were pagan in their beliefs, yet the kingdom was referred to as Jewish, even though the leaders had departed from the faith.

2. All men are created equal. The founding fathers intended this to be a statement that the people were equal in the eyes of the law. It was never intended to level the people in terms of ability or responsibility. Science has proven people are not all equal. There are varying levels of abilities and talents. Men are not created equal. They never were and never will be. It is a variation of this idea that all men are created equal that Bush extends to religions, by taking the stance that they are all equal as well. Much like all men are not equal, all religions are not equal. The idea of all religions being equal is a New Age idea that all religions have equal validity and take you to the same place. They are not all equal and the end result take the believer to far different places. Although people do not like discussing such matters openly, it is true. The notion that all men are created equal has been used as a mantra to level the playing field and remove the natural advantages that some people have.

When people believe these myths as true they become a dogma. That dogma makes it difficult to deal with them in a rational manner. They will chant the mantra and ignore what is being said. The dogma will taint and distort any truth that comes their way. The dogma becomes a set of blinders to keep them from seeing the reality around them and the options open to them.

The League want to preserve a culture that is truly Christian in its orientation. A culture that values life, family and liberty. A culture that works with the differences in the abilities of people. A culture and that expects more out of the responsible and helps those with lesser abilities. A nation that respects private property with allodial titles and removal of the death tax. A nation that adheres to its national boundaries and demands other respect them as well. A nation that is not ashamed to call out to and worship its God. A nation will will not hide God’s word. A nation that allows houses of worship to truly worship without demanding the flag of the State be in the sanctuary. A nation that is not ashamed of Jesus. The League has a plan, and we are working toward it.

Free the South!
