No nation has ever risen after it fell. By the end, every nation will have lived its way through all its fantasies. Some nations even became empires and enjoyed tremendous opulence. The Babylonians, the Romans and the British had unbelievable success as world empires. But America was for the lowly immigrant. The plaque on the Statue of Liberty says, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore." It was always hard for the first Americans to imagine themselves of becoming an empire.

But,
according to the children of the immigrants, America is different. It is made
from different mettle.
The Fall of the United States of America hasn't occurred yet. Nevertheless, if Scriptures are to be fulfilled, the US is destined to fall after it leaves Iraq. This is America's destiny. It was the destiny of Alexander the Great, Rome and Great Britain. All three empires fell after they abandoned Mesopotamia. The Great Harlot rides the Seven-headed Dragon until it's dead.
However, Americans come from all corners of the earth. They are resilient and prolific. The old guard have gotten old and would like to rest on their laurels; but the youth of America have risen again, and they want to live and make America prosperous again.
The Republican candidates are not practical, they keep mentioning old American Values and how America must return to the values of the founding fathers; but the majority of America's youth want to move on and build a new empire with new values.
Americans are a diverse group of people. They come from many
nations. Most of America's youth are from foreign backgrounds now. Obama is
from African roots. His father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., was a foreign
student from Kenya. He came with the hope of discovering America; but America
was already in decline by the time he arrived. So Barack the elder was very
disappointed and ended up being deported from the US. Thousands of foreign
students have been deported from the US.
Today, things are different. President Obama has changed all that. Unlike the first pioneers, he leads from behind. The foreigners have taken the lead now. They are the new pioneers. They march forward. They are taking America in a new direction. America is forging a new beginning, with new values. Many dictators have been brought down, and many more shall be brought down. They cheer every time a dictator is bludgeoned to death. The New Americans are ready for another rise in power.
Obama Sr. taught his son the values of socialism and the sharing of wealth. Young Obama grew up with a sense of fairness, a love for all nations and religions. Obama is beloved by America's new youth. He urges them on now, to grow and prosper and make America number one again. This new election will determine if America is going to go down the way of the dinosaurs or forge ahead to greatness.
Bob Dylan has a wonderful lyric that says something like, "Those who are not busy living, are busy dying."
It's a mistake to think that America's enemies are now the new patriots, because America was never meant to be like other nations. America was a land of opportunity for all peoples of the world, to come here and live free. The sense of freedom is sometimes overwhelming.
Every living being wants to live; nobody wants to die. The instinct to live and procreate is the basic instinct of every animal. Even the great psychiatrist, Sigmund Freud, said something like that. Yet, despite the fact that the human being thinks about making babies more than any other animal, man is the only creature that thinks of his own death as a profound event. Toward the end of his life, a human being thinks of how he will die, how he is going to be buried, and how he is going to be remembered. Many Americans are buying burial insurance now, because with the new generation of immigrants there is no telling how the old-timers are going to be buried.
When we're young and healthy, nobody thinks of their death, even though we know death is inevitable. The only thing worth dying for is also the only thing worth living for. And what is that thing? It's like the secret that the sellers of books and tapes keep promising their TV viewers to find in their products. They never reveal it in their infomercials -- "buy the books, buy the tapes." The secret of life and death cannot be revealed -- until you send payment.
The Bible says, "On that day when you eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge, you shall die."
The Serpent assures Eve, "Don't worry, you won't die; He doesn't want you to have the knowledge of good and evil." So why the secret? How can we be sure that we're going to get the secret after we pay? Maybe it's not worth a penny.
There's someone making millions selling DVDs on television by offering them for free: "just send in the postage and you'll get the DVDs for free!" He charges a few dollars more for shipping, a little more than the cost of manufacturing the DVDs. So, for example, instead of charging $2.00 for shipping and $1 for making each DVD, he charges $5.95, thus making $2.95 per DVD. "Send in $5.95 for shipping and handling and we'll send you the DVD for free!" Well, it's not free. There's nothing free.
There is a price to pay for everything. The knowledge of good and evil comes with a price. The price is death. Thus, no one can promise the rise after the fall. Only God can resurrect the dead. And if there is no God, then there is no life nor death. But that can't be; as human beings, we know after life there is death. It's just that we choose not to think about it.
So Obama has to promote the rise of the United States of America as a new organism, a nation that will never die. He has to magnify our contribution to freedom in the world. Obama can't promise the whole world freedom when he himself is a public servant in the new empire to emerge. He is not an emperor.
But why is Obama's America a new empire? Because it is based on socialist values and not the old values of America's founding fathers. Who says that? He himself is saying it. "Together we will transform America ... and the whole world!" Everyone will hear what he is saying for a whole year now until he gets re-elected in November of 2012.

Is Obama going to be re-elected? Of course; nobody wants to be
part of a dying America. Obama represents more than change; he represents hope
as well. The hope is for a new empire based on Kenyan socialism. The Soviets
gave up on Communism; but the Africans (whom they educated at the Patrice
Lumumba University) are continuing the best socialist practices of Communism.
The Russians didn't like the Africans marrying the Russian girls, so they
built a separate university for them in Moscow, which was the aforementioned
Patrice Lumumba University. Lumumba himself was educated by the Russians and
sent to Africa to sow the seeds of revolution. He became the Prime Minister of
Congo. He was executed with the help of the CIA.
Obama Sr. decided to attack the problem in another way. He came to America to pursue his dreams! Even Hollywood movies have some relevance to history; you may have seen the Eddie Murphy movie about the African prince who comes to America to find a bride. Obama Sr. lived that dream, he married an American girl, got an education and went back to Africa to fight for freedom. Apparently he too was murdered.
Obama Jr. has succeeded beyond everyone's dreams, because he approached the problem in a constructive way. Obama is the product of American liberalism. Most young people love him. He has broken through cultural and racial barriers like no other man in history. We are experiencing a new era in international friendship and co-operation. It looks like he's going to win a second term as President. He is America's only hope of resurrection and its rise to power after the Fall.
The new America that rises will be different, to be sure; but it's nevertheless an America that Muslims, Jews and even Christians believe in. It's going to be an America devoid of the old values that ripped apart the fabric of its unity, yet will manage to be a home for all the diverse ideologies and religions that come here. America will once again extend its promise of freedom and prosperity to the lowly of status. With zero expectations, Americans will again rebuild the skyscrapers of Manhattan. This is the spirit that made America great the first time around. It is going to be the secret of the new America built by its willing taxpayers. Thus America may be the first nation to rise again after it falls.
