America Is Rapidly Approaching Its Date with DestinyDave Hodges After reading the following accounts which have transpired in the past few days, it will become clear to the reader that we are moving into times of unprecedented change. These changes are promising and exciting, yet are very frightening. Arizona State Government Weighing Options to Defy the Obama Administration Presently in Arizona, there are 7,000 hurting families which derive their livelihood from tourism at the Grand Canyon. Obama has ordered the shutdown of the Canyon in regard to the budget impasse. Governor Brewer is actually considering the use of the States National Guard to man the Grand Canyon in defiance of the federal order which shut down the park. Arizona is awaiting Brewers next move as she contemplates how to stand up the tyranny emanating from Washington. Wisconsin Governor Defies Obamas Shutdown Orders Maine Governor Refuses to Drink From the Federal Common Core Kool-Aid Maine Governor Paul LaPage recently signed an executive order (EO) in which the Governor declared that the public schools in Maine are locally controlled that students personal information will not be shared with any corporations nor any federal agencies. LaPages EO states: The Department of Education shall not adopt any educational standards, curricula or instructional approaches that may be mandated by the federal government. That the Department of Education shall not apply for any federal grant that requires, as a condition of application, the adoption of any federally-developed standards, curricula or instructional approaches. Clearly, Governor LaPage is telling the federal government that Maines children are not the property of the misguided Obamacrats. This stunning development makes me want to move to Maine. Three governors, representing 13.5 million citizens are saying No Thank You to the President and the federal government. This is only the tip of the iceberg of Americans who are becoming willing to thumb their noses at the federal government. Vietnam veterans defied the shutdown orders at the Vietnam Memorial. There were reports that police ordered tourists and Vietnam War veterans who were visiting the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall to leave the memorial at one point this past Friday. The veterans went around the barricade until more police showed up in force, NBCs Mark Seagraves reported. Please allow me to pause for a moment and remind everyone that these vets showed up to pay respect to their fallen friends and comrades and they were denied their right to do so by a President who kept his own federally funded golf course open. America lost over 58,000 of her finest in Vietnam and we tolerate the continual displays of disrespect for our culture, our traditions and our bravest members of society from a person like Obama? These brave WWII veterans stormed barricades blocking the WWII Memorial in Washington DC, just as they did when they stormed beaches at Normandy, nearly, sixty years ago. The German and the Japanese armies did not stand a chance against our amazing soldiers and neither does Obama. Take a good look at the WWII veterans pictured below, we will not have any of them for much longer. God Bless these brave men who demonstrate an understanding of what it means to be an American unlike the Kenyan pictured above whose idea of combat is trying to keep his tee shot on the fairway. Part two of this series will explore this new found level of civil disobedience, which is beginning to touch many of us from our statehouses to the houses that we live in, and what it means for our collective futures. And like with most change, part two will reveal that there is both an upside and a downside to any change and this is no different. America, we live in historic times.
