Am I, are We Okay?!

Publisher's Note:   I got this in an email a week or so ago.  I don't know who wrote it, and it really doesn't matter, because the important thing is that it hits home; for me and so many.  It was obviously written just a few days or so after probably the saddest day in American history...Election Day.  Anyway, I wanted to share it.  Thanks to Boca Bevy for sharing it with me. 

Dear Friends,

I was asked yesterday if I was "okay" ... and frankly the answer is no, not at all, not even close.  I'm on auto-pilot right now, just going through the motions in a world that has fundamentally changed for the worse and will never be the same again.  

I haven't slept much more than a few minutes in the last 48-hours with my mind trying to understand what happened on Tuesday... reading, watching Robin Hood again, sitting next to a waterfall, working on my book, listening to music... nothing has worked because my thoughts keep instantly returning to the fact that the country I grew up believing in and loving died this week... and not from a major catastrophe compliments of Mother Nature, a Biblical plague, or an invasion of a foreign country... worse... what once was the greatest country in the world committed suicide by voting to reward wrong!   More of less?  I truly don't understand.

Mayan Calendar; End of the World...Not so Fast

Written by David DiCrescenzo on . Posted in Op-Ed

There has been an increasingly lot of talk in recent weeks, months, and years about the world coming to an abrupt end soon based upon the Mayan Calendar ending on December 21, 2012.  Well, that much is true; the Mayan calendar does stop there, which leads to a lot of speculation as to what it means.

Do I think the world will end someday?  Sure…after all, nothing lasts forever.  Do I think the Mayans, advanced as they may have been, had some sort of wisdom or advanced knowledge beyond that of even Jesus Christ who said when asked…”only the Father knows the hour?”  No, I do not believe they did.

However, I do think I’ve figured out what might have happened down there in the jungle.  Now work with me on this.  The Mayans were indeed a very advanced culture.  They had advanced knowledge of Architecture, Astronomy, the Arts, and you name it; they even did dentistry and probably, like the Romans, had hot and cold running water.  In fact, with the exception of rampant human sacrifices and cannibalism in their temples, and the lack of electronic conveniences, they were probably a lot like us.  

Happy Thanksgiving

Written by David DiCrescenzo on . Posted in Op-Ed

As we all start our various Thanksgiving Day Holiday festivities and enjoy time with family and friends, let us take one day to forget our differences and really take a moment to just think of what is really important.

As I consider my life up to this point, I am so very thankful and humbled for my many blessings. I love and am loved, I have always had a roof over my head, I have a growing and respected outlet for my thoughts and message, and I couldn’t ask for better assistance and guidance.  My siblings and I are in good stead, and my only child is happy in his life and doing what he always wanted to do.  Most importantly, I have a relationship and connection with a Loving God that is infallible.

For the most part, I am at peace with everyone I encounter, and I find myself rich with many extended chosen family, (dear friends).  

I could ask and want for riches, but they would not make a difference.  I have what is important, and cannot be purchased; I am surrounded by an amazing group of friends, some near and some far, that unconditionally love me as I love them.  And it just doesn’t get any better than that.

To my many readers and friends, I offer my sincerest gratitude for your continued support and friendship, and I offer my prayers that this special season would find you richly blessed and surrounded by those closest to you.

Happy Thanksgiving and may God continue to richly bless you. 

What A Disgrace

What the hell happened up in St. Lucie County before and since Election Day?  That is a question that has been fought both in courts of law and in the court of public opinion.  It is also a question that will never be satisfied.  

I’m not a lawyer, and I don’t completely understand all of the legal twists and turns; however I was a front row witness to a lot of lies, cheating, and what I believe to be out and out fraud.  

Let me be clear; questions about the integrity of the vote, and especially the early vote in St. Lucie County arose from the very beginning.  The Supervisor of Elections, Gertrude Walker, did not respond to those questions; not to the media, and certainly not to the public.  

Rallies took place, letters were written, time and energy was spent, and the situation was watched, (mostly thanks to social media) from around the nation and world.  Promises were made and broken by the SOE.  

For starters, if there was only one, there were too many cases where votes cast outweighed voter registration; and there were dozens.  In one such case, Precinct 93, it has been widely reported that 900 votes were cast, and there were only 7 people registered.  The percentages of other precincts are equally outrageous, as are the convoluted answers for most of the higher numbers which revolve around the ‘two card’ system used.  

Death Knell For America

Written by David DiCrescenzo on . Posted in Op-Ed

In a sad day for America, Obama has been re-elected.  The takers have won, and our once great nation has been dealt a final death blow. We The People will continue to strive and fight to overcome, but the reality is, the United States of America will not survive this second term.  

Here’s why.  The Supreme Court will now become a complete bastion of radical liberalism, and will remain so for decades; the Bill of Rights, especially the 1st and 2nd Amendments will be watered down rendering them useless; Obama Care will never go away; the debt will spiral completely out of control; our natural resources will all but completely cease to be tapped; the price of fuel, goods, and services will skyrocket, the financial markets will crash, the administration and all his minions will continue their crimes; Israel will face its enemies alone, the UN Small Arms Treaty and Agenda 21 will come at us full bore, all illegal trespassers will be given amnesty, our military will become a total shambles, we will become ‘flexible’ with the Russians, and the list goes on and on.

By this time next year, the nation will be unrecognizable, and by the end of the second term, the country will be in complete shambles and we will be at the complete mercy of our enemies.

God help us.
