Do we really understand the problems and issues we face as a nation? Or are we running around saying whatever it is that we have heard on the nightly Fox News report without actually researching what is being discussed on the tube without taking any action to learn more about the subject on our own?
It's amazing to see the differences so-called Christians have when it comes to a matter of faith in what we believe when dealing with matters of God and the direction of the United States.
As Christian believers we associate ourselves with a basic understanding of Jesus Christ as we attempt to live our lives as closely as possible to the Holy Bible. Yet within Christianity there is so much hate and misunderstanding about the different type of Christian denominations and their associated traditions. This type of misunderstanding is an undermining of everything we are trying to accomplish in a movement in order to correct the mistakes of our government and leaders to put America on the right path that is based on the principals of our founding fathers.
This type of behavior extends beyond the Christian faith and is active and alive on a wide variety of social economic levels. Black, brown, yellow, red, inner city, corporations, Middle East, Asian, Jewish, Buddhist, etc. I think you get the point.
Today it seems so many of us are caught up in the latest hype of what our political commentators and/or leaders are trying to convince an entire population to believe on what is right and what is wrong versus making decisions for ourselves based on the principals we say we want to believe. But at the core of these so-called "good intentions" are a large number of people living far from the moral principals they should, and in many cases so am I.
American's are great at classifying people, especially people who are different. For example, the entire Middle East society might be deemed "evil" or "terrorists" because a certain percentage of the population is radical. This type of classification is dangerous and is no different than evangelical Christians calling Catholic's evil or non-Christians because of whatever miscommunication they may have received and/or lack of any type of education about being Catholic. This is hatred at its finest yet it seems a large majority of American’s justify this type of behavior.

One day we might have a world leader show up on the global scene and tell us all exactly what we want to hear as an era of peace is proclaimed around the world. Yet, until a personal transformation happens within us all there can never be long lasting peace. People need to change themselves first versus always thinking someone else is going to solve their problems and the issues of the world. The hardest 12 inches mankind will ever have to travel is from his mind into his heart.
So ask yourself, what type of person of faith are you or not? Do you label and judge others without ever knowing the facts about what you are judging, criticizing, labeling, or saying? The world doesn't need any more people on the sidelines barking out of their mouths their disgusts at the world without taking any action.
Whether you are a believer or not in Jesus Christ, the commandment that He told the world still holds true in a world of unbelievers which is, "Love one another", and "Love thy neighbor".
How are you doing with this in your life? Perhaps instead of making Fox News or whatever your source of religion that is sparking the conviction of change you feel we all need to have right now to put America back on track, why don't you start taking inventory of your life and ask yourself, "How do I love myself" and better yet, "How do I love my neighbor"? It’s time to become accountable as individuals.
The time is now to make the changes in our own individual lives. Only when we do, if ever, will any meaningful change take place in the United States, even as great as the Tea Party or third party movement may seem to others as the real change needs to take place in our hearts and homes.
If you are a Christian, no matter what denomination, perhaps today is the day you start showing more tolerance and understanding to those who also believe in Jesus Christ. The Muslim’s are pretty good at being one voice, so when do the Christians finally start doing the same and get organized?
If not now, then when?

Much of the problems we see today are due to individuals saying one thing and living a completely opposite way, especially so-called Christians and/or believers in Jesus Christ or better yet anyone who has a belief in a higher power.

Sure, times are tough. But aren't they tough for us all? Isn't during the difficulties that we reach deep down inside ourselves and find out whom we are and what we are made of? I always thought that when you lose a job or quit a job you are suppose to go out and find another job? Isn’t that how the system works?
