Recently, I was reading a news article in the New York Times
called "Recession Drains Social Security and Medicare". This
article discusses how Medicare and Social Security -- which
are two programs that are run by the American Government --
are in danger of suffering financial cuts due to the current
financial meltdown. As I mentioned to my readers and online
acquaintances, what really bothers me about reports such as
these, is that they harp on how bad the American economy is,
and how millions of American citizens are suffering wage
decreases or losing their jobs entirely, losing their homes,
losing their life savings, etc., and yet there is absolutely
no mention regarding the billions of dollars that Uncle Sam
spends every single year on its war efforts. Neither do such
reports ever mention the fact that billions of dollars more
are likewise spent every single year in order to support and
prop up -- or better said, bribe -- US-friendly nations.

A clear case in point is Israel and Egypt. As I've mentioned
before, since 1979, these nations have been paid to keep the
peace. Don't think for even a minute that peace has endured
between these two rivals simply because they now like each
other. They have both been given some very strong incentive
to keep the peace; and that is billions of US dollars and
military aid, among other things. And let us not forget that
Hosni Mubarak, the so-called "president" of Egypt, is really
an absolute dictator who has ruled Egypt with an iron hand
for almost three decades now. It must be nice to have your
dictatorship financially supported by the US Government; and
Mubarak is not the only dictator to receive such assistance
from the Americana Government.

It is my view that if the American Government would stop its
foolish, wasteful, destructive wars, and stop bribing other
nations so that they would do America's bidding, there would
be literally billions of dollars more which could be better
used to assist the American people, who should, after all,
come first. In thinking about this, I am reminded of a verse
that was written by the Apostle Paul. In his first Epistle
to Timothy, Paul wrote the following:

"But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those
of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse
than an infidel."
1 Timothy 5:8, KJV

While Paul was obviously speaking more on a familiar level,
I believe that by extension, we can also apply his words on
a national level as well; that is, to a national government
such as the US Government. If we look at the verse from that
perspective, then it would seem that providing billions of
dollars in annual support to its foreign friends -- some of
whom are dictators -- is not the American Government's first
priority; taking proper care of its own people is. To make
matters worse, while the US Government has been willing to
spend trillions of dollars to bail out the greedy automobile
industry, as well as greedy self-serving banking executives,
it is doing this at the expense of the American people. For
example, in the article in question, it states that people
will not receive another increase in their Social Security
benefits until probably 2012, even though the cost of living
will continue to rise during the next three years. Not only
that, but the cost of living adjustment in 2012 will be very
minimal, if it happens at all. Time will tell.

Thus, it can be said that, Biblically-speaking, the American
Government is in fact an infidel, because it isn't assisting
those who are in most need of its help -- everyday American
citizens. Sadly, I seriously doubt that the situation will
change much any time soon; because if there is one thing that
has become evident, it is that the US Government is comprised
in large part of career politicians who serve themselves, and
not the people who elected them to office in the first place.
Furthermore, US Government officials who are appointed by the
President don't even need to worry about being accountable to
the people, because they can't even be voted out of office.

After sharing the previous comments online in one of my blog
entries, one particular fellow -- a real red, white and blue
military man -- began leaving comments in which he basically
tried to defend America's propensity for war. In his view,
America's foreign military engagements are all justifiable.
Of course, I wasn't surprised by his response, and in fact,
even expected it. A person simply cannot be a member of the
US military and not have that kind of an attitude. They are
all trained to be patriotic fighting machines, and killing
machines, from day one, as are soldiers in all countries.

This very same individual also tried to twist my words, by
suggesting that I was promoting the idea that America should
adopt an isolationist approach in regards to the rest of the
world, which I most certainly was not. I believe that America
needs to engage the rest of the world, but most certainly not
in the aggressive manner in which it has been doing for many
years now. This same military man likewise stated that what I
advocate basically amounts to ignoring the evil that exists
in the world; which again, is by no means the truth. I am
more than aware of the evil that exists in the world. With
daily bombardments from the mass media, how can one not be
aware of it; and the Bible clearly deals with the evil that
dwells in the hearts of men. But the way to engage the evil
in the world is not by creating more evil; and that is what
war is -- an evil, destructive force which really helps no
one, other than the victor, but at what price?

The simple point of the matter is that there's a substantial
distinction between what the US military advocates, and what
I personally advocate as a Christian, and one who believes
in Jesus' doctrine of peace. In short, in my view, there is
a very big difference between protecting the American people
against an imminent foreign military threat, and purposely
going out of one's way to pick fights with other nations, in
order to forcefully impose America's hegemonic agenda upon
the rest of the world; and that is exactly what the US does,
time and time again.
