Our Rally Point  
by Dave Batcheller, former State Party Chairman

America is facing challenges that threaten our stability, prosperity and future as a nation. Simultaneously, from many different directions, we are being confronted with massive, mind boggling spending, debt and internal turmoil. The type of “change” being thrust upon us is driving us at reckless speed toward socialism, globalism and disaster.

Are the problems we face as a nation really just circumstantial, or a normal economic or political cycle? Are we to believe that our leaders, who also claim to be experts and the best ones to guide us out of this mess, are sincere and truly unaware of what is going on or why these events have taken place? Is the answer to out-of-control spending and debt really more spending and bigger government? Should we place our trust in those who have actually created the predicament in which we now find ourselves? I wonder if there just might be another, more plausible explanation.

We Are on a Collision Course

The sooner we accept and embrace the sobering reality that America is on a collision course, the better we will be. This collision course is caused by those who are intent on transforming our nation into something far different from the vision of our Founding Fathers. This is no less than a deliberate and even diabolical strategy to guide our nation into the chains of tyranny and an all-powerful government.  There is a deep rift between the opposing world views and values of many Americans, and the government is forcing the issue.

We are living in turbulent times – ignoring it or wishing it would just go away will only ensure our progressive enslavement to tyranny. Most independent financial experts are sounding the alarm, warning of the imminent and total financial collapse of the economy. Every week legislation is considered or passed that continues to shred the Constitution, erode our liberties, and pave the way for a more pervasive, controlling government. The amount of money they flippantly discuss is staggering, and the deceptive concealment of the true problems and motives is alarming!
