Are There Any Mr. Smith's Left in Washington?

Most folks remember the classic 1939 era movie with Jimmy Stewart. But for those who don’t….it is a heart warming and patriotic story about a naïve young man from rural America whose hero is a good friend of his father’s and a very respected senior senator. Anyway, Jefferson Smith was put into the place of a junior senator through the manipulations and plans of several very powerful and dishonest men in their plan to use him as a wooden headed puppet who would fill the seat but not give them any trouble when it came to their wicked plans to personally profit at the expense of others.

And so, Senator Smith arrived in Washington DC wide eyed and completely oblivious to reality. His mind filled with the dreams of proposing a bill that would grant boys from all over the United States, despite their nationality…a chance to go to a camp which would strengthen their bodies, minds and convictions in preparation for the next part of their lives. Much to his sorrow, Smith came to find out that the man he thought was an honest servant of the people…was actually a fraud. Through a course of painful and shameful events and evil accusations made against him to cover up the deeds of these powerful men….Senator Smith found himself the laughing stock of DC with only one chance to try and save not only his name, but the respect of his office…He took the floor of the Senate and performed an over 20 hour filibuster which miraculously led the senior senator to completely confessing his guilt and clear Smith’s name.

If you haven’t yet seen this movie, you have to catch it sometime because it is one of those movies which get your heart to beating in believing in the goodness of man even in the midst of the multitudes who are darkened and depraved legislating evil. Fast forward to 2009 when it seems that everyone in government has lost their minds; where the Republic of the United States of America is no more and we are left with taxation without representation. Especially if you are residing in California – the first bankrupt state in the union, the most radically diverse, and most progressive on the part of humanities wicked intentions that can possibly be.

We watch the news and understand that the majority of networks are now owned by the puppet in the white house and those who are pulling his strings. Those who lie without a blink, who firmly believe that the slaughter of unborn babies is not only okay but the right of every woman, those who have pronounced June at a month to celebrate perversion and evil, those who bow low before our worlds leaders apologizing for being American, and who do it all with a glazed over smile and a little screen in front of them filled with words written by the puppet master’s themselves.

My heart cries out to God in prayer for this nation that there would come a flood of repentance and that as the word promises – God will hear our prayer, forgive our sin and heal our land! Does the character of Mr. Smith even exist anymore or is it a fairy tale to believe that there are still those who are honorable, honest, self sacrificing, compassionate and wise leaders who have the guts to revolt against this new kind of tyranny which threatens the very life of this nation?
As a writer, I know that even my time to enjoy the Constitutional Right of FREE SPEECH is on the brink of annihilation and soon only those media outlets who perform for the puppet and his master’s, will exist and all others will be silenced. Just like North Korea….where men, women and children are being slaughtered. How? The NK Army lines them up and shoots them with their high powered rifles. Why? Simply because they are Christians, and one day right here in America the puppet master’s will begin to line us up…Who? Those who speak out against Big Brother, those who have deeply held religious beliefs which adhere to the teachings of the bible, those who stand up and use their constitutionally given rights, those who speak out against evil, immorality and wickedness, those who speak out on behalf of those who have no voice; the unborn, the disabled and the elderly.

Does this sound like some futuristic fantasy? Don’t believe me….do the research and check out what happened to over 6 Million Jews and others in Nazi Germany and Europe. Why it started out with newspapers including disparaging cartoons and caricatures of Jews and no one rising up to stop it….and step by step it evolved into Hitler (And, no Hitler was not a “Christian”) and his puppets beginning to designate who the Jews were by forcing them to wear golden stars, then taking over the businesses that were Jewish owned. Finally, families were dragged out of their homes and either shot to death like criminals or forced to board trains to take them to concentration camps where if they were lucky they were forced into the gas chambers and if not they were worked like wretches, tortured and tormented. Families ripped apart and many completely obliterated. And this horror continued on into Poland, Russia, France and other countries until the great sleeping giant awoke from her deceptive slumber and heard the cries of England and other European countries that were being devastated by this evil.

Surely this “evolution” from cartoon to death camps took many years to cultivate and achieve. Not even…..Check it out and see how easily it can happen….

And so I end this solemn piece with the question; Are There Any Mr. Smith’s Left in Washington who will stand? I pray God that there are…
