Is it wrong to go to another country that already has an established set of beliefs, and try to get them to accept my ideology?

Is it wrong to go to them, and tell them about my God ...or should I leave them alone?

If my child does not listen to me, and I realize that they may have to learn the 'hard way', I will not enjoy watching their struggle.  I will await, not saying 'I told you so', but hopefully ready to dispense any wisdom that I have ...wisdom that only God can bless me with.

Wisdom is needed in all levels of life.  But children are not the only ones to act childish.  Sometimes they grow-up, but are still playing childish pranks.  Sometimes the childish games get out-of-hand, and like children ...the adults don't want to confess.  Or they live so long in denial, they begin to believe they are the ones who are right?

We can all be deceived, but when things gradually begin to get clear, it no longer is considered a mistake ...it is a life choice.

Our nation celebrated in 1989, when the Berlin Wall was torn down ...celebrated the end of the Cold War, the beginning of the decline of communism.

But what is our fate?  Communism is on the rise ...and they celebrate what they claim as the demise of democracy, crumbling from within.  

Do I believe elections are fixed like they are in communist countries?  That does not matter as much ...as I see enough of you on Facebook, and I know that we have reached the point where the majority no longer value what our forefathers valued.  That is the weakness of a democracy.  And that fact is celebrated by communist countries.  A democracy is only as good as the majority deem it to be.  The fruit on the tree looks so good.

But how are we bearing fruit?   The majority of our country refused to add-Mitt to where we needed to go; favoring defamation of character to rally support for a different kind of care-actor.  But, hey, we're a great nation.  We are great, as in having a "great time" ...smoking pot (enthusiastically), as the nation goes to pot, and puts their hope in dope; devaluing ourselves, while placing our loyalty not in Benghazi crises, but placing our perspective in contraceptives; and aborting our values, our dignity, and the legacy of who we are.

Though I do not desire struggle, I see a purpose in it.  Empty dialogue, purpose, and promises may bring glamour, glitter, or rose-colored glasses.  But does the media have such a grip, that we will forever see the equivalent of the Stepford Wives?   

Well, having been asked to vote for 'revenge' ....how many of you did that very thing?  I recall the "Revenge of the Nerds", being perhaps funny, but they had purpose and intelligence.   Now, a new wave of NERDS, ("Not Even Remotely Devoted" to God) ...has evidently emerged.

Yes, we are a democracy ...and the majority decide many things.  It has revealed much ...in who we are, and who we want to be.  We do choose who we want to represent us.

           If we had a Pharaoh who worshiped frogs
           Then perhaps a few croaking in Benghazi,
           Is it not enough?
           Perhaps they have to be on our heads
           And in our beds.


Yes, whatever way we look at it ....policy influences us.  We either promote God's way, but those who oppose that are also promoting.  We all interact, and influence each other.  I stand for God's way ...whether I always act like it or not.  And yes, I believe in missionaries ...and so do most of you, whether you want to admit it or not.  You want to have an affect upon others.  This was shown with the high voter turn-out in the 2012 elections.  And it really matters how we all elect to act, and how we want to affect not only those today, but also future generations.  It shows our character ...or whether we are care actors, and what it is that we care about.
