I’ve tried to put my finger on what it is that’s clouding my
mind of late and I’ve determined that I’m afraid. That’s it! I’m afraid.
I’ve staked my future on the fact that I am a citizen of a great land
but I’m watching as it falls apart. I’ve
set my lifestyle on the ideology of a principality but it seems that my American
Dream sits on the edge of an abyss. I
feel that I am looking at the obvious but find myself surprised at the amount
of people that could be deemed as oblivious.
Never have I been so fearful for the future-not just mine but that of my
children. My plan to grow old and
mirror the lifestyle that my parents exemplified is simply not wise. I feel it’s time to change course…for the
country has done so already.
Yes, this earth continues to spin on its axis-yet something
other than earth is askew. Mentally zoom
into the earth’s atmosphere and reflect on the truth that this world is full of
diverse people and cultures-with too many
living under regimes that are askew. Zoom in one more time and focus the world map
on the U.S. and realize that though our country continues to imply we have power-the
truth is- we’re weakened; hemorrhaging; vulnerable to many things. The government and our constitution are askew
with each other; misaligned, out of kilter, off center. Let’s add in one more factor- our government,
the People and our constitution are
all at odds with each other and it’s a treacherous web to be sure.
It has been stated that our constitution was designed to
govern a moral people. Based on this, if
the morality of the people changed significantly, the constitution would no
longer be relevant. This is where we are
as a country and why there are many constitutional issues in the news these
days. Our country has changed so much that it's citizens are in some
sort of culture shock or denial. Perhaps some don't see the drastic changes in our culture or simply don't care. Worse yet, there may be some that are in agreement that The Constitution of the United States is no
longer valid.
Our government was founded upon a constitution that
purposely included checks and balances.
It was designed to uphold the principles and values of its people. The constitution and its mandates still serve
as a beacon, shedding light onto the valued core of this nation. However, degeneration has occurred. The minds of the people have strayed and have
turned to self-indulgence. The moral
direction of We, the People has become flexible so as to be tolerant. Morals
are inherently not flexible. But these days, the will of the People has eroded.
Instead of being a nation ready to stand
up for truth at any cost…we’ve decided to be bystanders of moral deterioration-under
the guise of being understanding or open-minded. This affects us in every way; religiously,
legally, ethically, politically, and economically. We’ve moved away from the moral directive to "let your yes be yes and your no be no” (Matthew 5:37) and the moral absolute that
right is right and wrong is wrong. Truth has been blended with tolerance in every
aspect of our lives…. and anything other than that has been deemed politically
incorrect or socially unacceptable.
There have been many
generations that have fought the good fight. I’m not talking about a literal
war…but the battle to uphold ethics with sound judgment and to uphold truth
with standards. Being the home of the
free and the brave we’ve stood up for the world and ourselves-keeping moral
evil at bay. But our minds were not
equally yoked and our borders were not soundly secured and now this evil- that
I define as Destruction -resides inside our gates and seeks to destroy us from
within.
In this weary world
there is a time to let your guard down and a time to be on alert. With no moral back-bone we no longer know how
to classify our stance. The resolve of
this free people has grown tired and the easy path has been taken. It seems simpler to submit than to rise up
and fight once more for the good. It’s
less painful to just let others have their way and be done with it. This, in itself, is an exact example of how
the morals and will of the People have eroded. With this change in our core values and
resolve, our government-with greedy men at its helm-has become a beast that
wants to devour its master. The media has become this creature’s
minion. Propaganda is the social media
tool that will lead the whole nation astray for we’ve raised a generation that
does not know politics…or God.
For you see, our government and God are linked to each other….and
why? The answer is found in something
most don’t realize; the politics of this country was founded by and for a moral, godly people. Four simple words show this to be true: “In God
We Trust”. This is no longer the
philosophy of The People. We’ve made a
firm decision to move away from God and rule ourselves. With this, anything goes. For example:
truth becomes flexible…and therefore laws become amendable…and therefore
beliefs become inconsistent and therefore resolve becomes pliable and therefore
respect becomes insignificant and therefore indifference becomes relevant and
therefore dignity becomes unimportant and therefore truth no longer matters. This, my friend, is the deterioration I am
going on about… and it is madness! Don’t
kid yourself….this is the way it happens! It’s unseen-like an intruder…and it destroys
from within. Truth and ethics has been mixed with greed and
power and has weaved this country into something else entirely. The moral fabric of our society has changed
and the collapse of this godly nation has begun.
We must stand, united -but on what? If we
do not stand on principles and morality what do we stand on? What becomes the guiding force that makes us
who we are as a People? I seek an explanation
for I can’t bear to not have
one. I’ve surmised that The People of
this floundering nation are either too weary to move into action or too
bewildered and uninformed to do so. This
is why propaganda can take its place in the news media and in our courts of law. Yes, there are some who see Moral Destruction
as the demise of our democracy, but too many have surrendered to that fact already. The white flags have been raised. The wicked
use these captives and the uninformed or well-intentioned to work on the side
of Destruction and soon the godly will be out-numbered! What
is the driving force of those who seek the Destruction of America? Whether these people are propelled forward for
the sake of Self or to forsake God, in whom this nation should give its
allegiance, I do not know...but one of these two choices is the answer! Either way, the end result will be the same. Unless something changes the fall of a mighty
nation is at hand!
WAKE UP AMERICA!
WAKE UP AMERICA!
