It is truly
mind-boggling to see how many people are either totally and completely ignorant
of what is happening to our country today or they plain and simply do not
care. We used to be a country that
prided ourselves on freedom, justice and the American way. Even before the American Revolution those who
settled this land came to find freedom – away from tyrannical governments. The Founding Fathers drew up inspired
documents to guide the American people.
Highlighted in these documents are everyone’s right to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. In addition,
these documents detailed our duties and obligations to take down any person or
governmental body that even attempts to take those God given rights away from
us. These rights cannot be dictated
away, dismissed through executive orders or rewritten for nefarious gain. They are forever and eternally engraved in
God’s law. Tyrants will attack these
rights on every front and people can willingly give up their own rights but
these rights will never vanish – ever.
However, if we, as a whole, sit complacently by – ignoring the attacks
on these rights and freedoms – then we have only ourselves to blame when we
wake up to find that we have been squashed under the domineering rule of the
wicked who have been organized under Satan’s design.
As I read
numerous articles on the internet, hear horrific stories on the TV, most of
which are propagandized by the leftist media, speak with people on the streets
and listen to the lines of conversations milled about, most of which are on
topics that are based off of total falsehoods and/or complete fabrications for
which people do nothing to find the real truth about – I have come to wonder
whether or not we, as a country – heck, as a world – have not already passed
the point of no return. The degree of
wickedness, immorality and outright hatred that radiates globally today on
nearly every front makes the society of Sodom and
Gomorrah look
like a Sunday school picnic. We have
fallen so far downward from the greatness that we once were – and the even
greater potential that we could have achieved – and it all occurred solely because
far too many of us remained complacent.
I point to
myself on being complacent. Politics, as
far as I was concerned, was boring. I
actually naively believed that it simply did not affect my every day life. That avenue of thinking is very juvenile but
it is the exact mentality that those who wish to destroy freedom, our
democracy, our republic, religion and our world’s stability are counting
on. You see – politics is VERY important
to them – that’s why they have gained so much ground – so much power – and they
are continuing to gain ground with barely any resistance whatsoever because hardly anyone is willing to fight back. [See my earlier
articles on political correctness and how it has been used by the left for this
gain.]
I used to say
that I never would discuss politics because I just didn’t want to argue my points
or upset anyone else who had a different viewpoint and, lately, I have heard
that same sentiment echoed by several others – even prominent, well known
persons. But who are we? What kind of Americans are we if we are not
willing to stand up, hold our ground and fight for our country, our homes and
our families? We can grumble all we want
in our homes – behind closed/locked doors – and express our feelings of
disgust, dissatisfaction, anger and even fear but unless we are willing to step
up to the plate and shout in the open that we have had enough – NO MORE – then
we are frankly our own worst enemy.
I know I
didn’t want to step up to the plate – it was way too scary – especially today
when those who have been willing to step up and speak out – such as Glenn Beck,
Sarah Palin, Chuck Norris, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Pat Boone – well the list
is actually quite long – have been threatened, vilified, attacked on all
counts, in fact, many lesser known individuals have even disappeared – why
would I want to place myself in that category?
I then thought about Peter. Peter
was a devoted disciple of Jesus and when Jesus was betrayed, Peter vehemently
stated that he would stand beside Him.
Knowingly, Jesus told Peter that before the crow were to cock twice, he
would deny Him thrice.
Naturally,
Peter must have thought that what Jesus told him was ludicrous but faced with
the crowds of angry, hateful people – Peter did just that – he succumbed to his
fears and denied his Savior three times.
It was then that Peter had to face his fears and he realized that there
was a greater cause than his fear – there was an even worse fate than death –
there was the entire loss of the world.
Now I don’t put myself on the same realm as Peter but I did think about
all of the souls who gladly and selflessly gave their lives to defend this land
and its freedoms. Some day I will stand
before them. Will I be able to thank
them and hold my head up high – or will I cower in shame? I decided then that I was not going to cower. I don’t care how much my knees may shake or
how sweaty my palms may get – I will stand tall, holding my ground to defend
all that is true – all that is right. I
will not be silent any more.
I am not a
prominent person but I make a vow to do all that is within my power to help
right the wrong this world has fallen into.
That’s how this blog started – Finding Truth in a Deceptive World. And right now there is a deceptive person
sitting in the White House. He will stop
at nothing to propel his deception. If
you don’t realize that yet, you will – and SOON. The clock has long sense begun ticking
down. We can either wait for the bomb to
go off or we can act to diffuse it. Will
the upcoming Presidential election of 2012 be the beginning of the end of our
world? Will there even be an
election? Can we trust the results that
may come forth? Please come back for
more of my sounding off on the election in Part 2.
I am a Proud American – politically incorrect!
