Enough is Enough—It’s Time to Take Our Country Back

This SnyderTalk editorial has a clear-cut objective: I want to help launch a national discussion about things that need to be done to halt the steady moral decay that has been taking place in our country for decades.  I also want to propose specific ideas that politicians and would-be politicians can use in their campaigns if they are serious about solving our nation’s problems.

I have many ideas, and I’m sure that you do too.  I’ll mention only a couple of mine in this short piece because I want to engage SnyderTalk readers and their friends in this discussion.  Working together, we can be far more effective than if we act individually.

To become a part of this discussion, all you need to do is make a comment in which you propose something specific that can be done and then share this SnyderTalk with your friends and encourage them to become involved in this discussion by doing the same thing.  It’s that simple.

For example, below are two proposals.  Enacting legislation to deal with these problems is easy, and I think the proposals will help to right the ship of state:

  1. Mandatory, regular drug testing for all welfare and food stamp recipients: this proposal is designed to ensure that we are not promoting illegal drug use by paying people who refuse to work so that they can freely feed their drug habits.  This is just common sense.  Why should working Americans be required to pay taxes to support freeloaders who spend their time getting high on illegal drugs?  As I said, it’s just common sense.
  2. A picture I.D. should be required for voting in every state and every locality: this proposal is aimed at reducing voter fraud, a serious problem in our country.  It’s a crime to commit voter fraud and a federal crime to commit voter fraud in a federal election.  Since all of us are required to show a picture I.D. to purchase such things as alcohol and cigarettes, to apply for food stamps and welfare, to open a bank account, and to apply for unemployment, it’s ludicrous to think that imposing this requirement is a difficult burden on anyone.  In fact, since we have to provide a picture I.D. for so many things, I think that anyone who objects to this proposal is probably involved in a conspiracy to commit voter fraud, or they are guilty of suborning voter fraud.  Judging by the large number of examples of voter fraud that took place in the 2012 presidential election, I think it’s fair to say that some politicians knowingly encourage voter fraud to increase their likelihood of winning elections.  It’s time to put an end to this practice and to send those involved in voter fraud to jail—that includes would-be elected officials.  Anything less makes no sense.

These are just two examples: there are many more and I want them to come from you and your friends.  All you need to do is

  1. open SnyderTalk at http://www.snydertalk.com/,
  2. click on the headline (in this post the headline is “September 5, 2013—SnyderTalk Editorial: Enough is Enough—It’s Time to Take Our Country Back”.  Just click on it.),

Finally, you need to share the URL with candidates for public office, and ask them to look at the proposals.  The good ones will do it; the not-so-good ones won’t.  You can find their email addresses easily with Google.

I will not edit your proposals, and I will publish them unless you use incendiary language.  In other words, just say what’s on your mind and be civil.  That’s all you need to do, so let’s get started.

13--Perspectives 2

Chandler P. Atwood and Michael Knights: Linking Targets to Political Objectives in Syria—If a U.S. strike in Syria is to be more than a token move, U.S. leaders need to approve targeting that sends the most menacing message possible to the Assad regime. Success is more likely if Washington surprises the regime. Clearly explaining the rationale for hitting certain targets is crucial if Washington hopes to influence the regime.

Yoel Guzansky: The Arab World and the Syrian Crisis— In contrast to the determined and unified response to Qaddafi in 2011 that included the use of force by Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, Arab countries have thus far failed to take a firm and united stand toward Syria. The Arab world remains divided on the Syrian question, as reflected in the Arab League resolutions of August 27 and September 1, 2013, which refrained from giving a green light for military action without the blessing of the UN. Against the tough line advocated by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, Tunisia, Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Egypt have prevented strong, proactive decisions. Jordan, which fears retaliation from Syria, recently declared that its territory would not serve as a base for US military intervention in Syria, and Egypt, which condemned the use of chemical weapons, stated that a political, not a military, solution was the only way out.

Jennifer Rubin: Israel Views America and Syria—A former U.S. official tells me the top levels of the Israeli government are convinced that Assad is not about to make more enemies by lashing out against Israel in the event the U.S. responds militarily to the use of weapons of mass destruction. At the same time, most Israelis are coming to the conclusion that it will be up to them to deal with Iran’s nuclear arms program.

Oded Eran: Obama Projects Indecision on Syria: American and International Dimensions— Since the start of the Syrian uprising President Obama has projected decided unwillingness for even limited military involvement, even though the number of Syrian fatalities has passed the 100,000 mark. The Congressional approval President Obama requested on August 31, 2013 for military involvement in Syria sets a critical precedent, and raises several legal issues as well as questions about the posture of the United States in the Middle East. Turning to Congress could highlight America’s image as a superpower seeking to avoid the use of military force. The President is thereby bringing the image of his country still closer to that of Western Europe– nations with military power that will do whatever it takes to avoid using it, even when the justification for its use is beyond any shadow of a doubt.

Mitch Ginsburg: How Significant Is the Delay in a U.S. Strike on Syria?—The former head of IDF Military Intelligence and current director of the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University, Maj. Gen. (res.) Amos Yadlin, told the Times of Israel that the delay in U.S. action in Syria “enables the arrival of additional forces, like aircraft carriers or intercontinental bombers. If they had attacked last week, they would have been restricted to Tomahawks [cruise missiles] from destroyers.”

Zvi Mazel: Egypt’s Road to Recovery—Egypt’s statistics bureau on Aug. 31 put the country’s population at 85 million (not counting 8 million living abroad). 800,000 Egyptians are added to the job market each year, though the birthrate has dropped significantly to 2.4%. The interim regime is doing its best to bring order to the political situation. New civilian institutions should be up and running within nine months.

Robin Shepherd: Palestinian Authority Blames Obama for Syria War—The Palestinian Authority’s official newspaper has launched a series of blistering attacks on President Obama over the Syria crisis. “Events of mass killings do not upset [America] because they themselves have used killing as a means and a strategy to attain global domination,” the PA daily said on Sunday.

Shlomo Brom: The Chemical Attack in Syria: Different from Other Aggression against Civilians in the Civil War— President Obama has decided on punitive action of limited scope and duration in order to deter the Assad regime from further use of chemical weapons. Many commentators in Israel and abroad have questioned this decision, noting that over 110,000 people, most of them civilians, have already been killed in the Syrian civil war, and the US took no military action whatsoever to stop the slaughter. This article explains why the use of chemical weapons is indeed a different form of aggression, and why it requires a special response.

HonestReporting: The Times of London: Israel Can Do No Right— It seems that Israel can never do right. At least, that’s the impression given by the following sensationalist headline in The Times of London.

4--Scripture of the Day USE THIS ONE

The scripture below is from the New American Standard Bible, and the hyperlinks associated with each word are from Strong’s Concordance for the New American Standard Bible.

Joel 2: 1-2

Blow a trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day Yahweh is coming; surely it is near, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn is spread over the mountains, [so] there is a great and mighty people; there has never been [anything] like it, nor will there be again after it to the years of many generations.

14--Blessings from Revelation 2

Blessings in the Book of Revelation is a book that you need to read, especially now.  There are blessings throughout the Scriptures but Revelation is the only book in the Bible actually containing a specific blessing for reading it. It’s repeated twice, once at the beginning and again at the end. This is the reason that I believe Revelation should be the first step toward studying biblical prophecy. Though not easy to do, Revelation can be broken down and understood by anyone, not just the academic elite. So, Revelation’s blessings are for everyone.  Click here to order the eBook.  Click here to order the paperback.

  • Falsely Accused is a true story about a young woman who was accused of committing a double homicide.  It’s about a travesty of justice, and it reveals Yahweh intervening in the life of a believer to rescue her from danger in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.  Everyone will enjoy the book, but young people in particular need to read it because the mistakes made that led to the problem could have been avoided.  They were the kinds of mistakes that young people are prone to make.  As they say, forewarned is forearmed.  Click here to order the eBook.  Click here to order the paperback.
