We will miss this country when it’s gone
I saw something this morning on the news that broke my heart. A Mother and Dad talking about losing their son in Afghanistan because of our insane Rules of Engagement and showing a photo of a young officer who recently lost men to a suicide bomber and who gave the order to shoot two Muslims on a motor bike after they refused to stop when ordered to. The photo was taken in Leavenworth where the young officer is doing 19 years for breaking the Obama Rules of Engagement by putting the lives of his men ahead of the enemy’s.
I am sure Putin is shaking in his skivvies over Obama, our JVPC President.
With all the sheer lunacy coming out of Washington and now this Spring Break madness, I think we may be too late to turn this once great country around because the younger two thirds of our population have been corrupted to the point that they have no knowledge of what made America unique and little or no desire to learn. Heck, they don’t even know that America is, or was, truly a unique land of opportunity where almost anyone could, through hard work and perseverance, create a better life for themselves.
Certainly the opportunity to become a great people was fortuitous, i.e., being unfettered by a common history of tyranny, yet having emigrated from places where there was little/no individual freedom. So once the British chains were cast off, (remember that only a tiny fraction of the people here actually took part in the revolution), there existed a unique window in which to set in place a government “of the people, by the people, for the people”. Within a generation of its creation, individuals in positions of trust, power and persuasion began to figure out how to use their government power and/or influence to “pick winners and losers”. The innately selfish nature of man has, over time, slowly undermined the principles on which this country was founded and this goes for Republicans as well as Democrats.
It’s just that the Democrats are more brazen about it. Like when Harry Reid recently admitted he lied purposely and openly on the Senate floor about Mitt Romney’s taxes, demurely adding in his feminine whine, “It was just politics.” He should be imprisoned and locked in the same cell with Lois Lerner who got away scot-free for her crimes thanks to a corrupt DOJ official who promptly resigned just as soon as he signed her get out of jail free card. I hope they all enjoy their 6 figure retirements at our expense.
In my opinion, the people have succumbed to the god of “What’s in it for me?” The faithful minority have generally given up or are content to look the other way, afraid to speak up for fear of reprisal by certain government agencies or of being unfairly branded any of a number of vile things by the press; hence we are faced with the historical fact that the nominal lifetime of Democracies is only two or three hundred years at best.
I fear the end of America as a Constitutional Republic is near; it will likely be bloody. May God guide us through it! “Guide” meaning guide us as we stand up for our beliefs. We should not expect that we can just sit back and He will take care of the oppressors! It doesn’t work like that. Remember the words of Thomas Jefferson; “liberty is a tree that, from time to time, must be watered with the blood of patriot and tyrant alike.”
Perhaps we are getting close to the end what with the Middle East imploding and Israel being left to fend for herself and no doubt getting ready to show Iran the wrath of God. I have read the Scriptures over and over and have often wondered about these times, especially that “Mark” without which no one may buy or sell. Now it is fairly plain to me. The “Mark” is most likely a computer chip implanted in the back of the hand or in the forehead. No need to carry a credit card or cash or any other I.D. The government simply sweeps its lecherous hand over you and Beep! You are good to go and with government knowing everything about you from birth to the present moment. No chip, no cracklins or anything else!
I apologize to Reverend Al for using the name of Jefferson, a man he terms a racist devil. It is true Jefferson was not perfect though he was arguably one of the most brilliant men who ever lived and most certainly was not a JVPC President. I also defy Al to name one country in the history of the world whose government has never made mistakes, and I further defy him to then name me one nation that has done more to make up for the mistakes of the past than the United States of America.
I won’t hold my breath. Al is probably still standing out in Ferguson, Missouri with his hands up.
For sure, he is going to miss this country when it’s gone. We all will.
