Seems very appropriate today

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten… every statue & street building has been renamed… History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” -George Orwell, 1984.

Freedoms Lost

I fear that we in this country have forgotten how free we used to be. Being old as I am I can remember how wonderful this country was when the federal government did not tell us what to do,what to eat, whether we should wear a mask or whether we should even celebrate Christmas. I long for the days of freedom. I will not be a slave. I will stand for freedom. It’s time for the church and all people to stand up and say No, I will not submit.

I long for the days of freedom. I will not be a slave. I will stand for freedom. It’s time for the church and people of all stripes to say no more.

My freedom is ultimately found in the Lord Jesus Christ.

The American Spirit

We have lost the true meaning of being an American.  Americans are a true breed of people, not in birthright, but in the indelible spirit of freedom and the expectancy of a better life and world to come.  Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is not a catch phrase, but a true and noble idea that all true Americans, not only long for, but pursue to their dying breath.  The spirit of can do, a spirit of hope and expectancy is not found in great measure today, rather a sense of doom,  gloom and failure prevails among our society.  Utopia will not be reached, but a good, moral and noble country is well within reach.

What is the American spirit?  As I reach the soon to be twilight of my existence on this Earth I find I think more of what was, rather than what could be. I fear in our haste to rush toward a more European existence we have completely lost what made us who we are.  Rugged individualism and not compromise is what Americans do.  We desire what is noble and fair.  It doesn’t take a roundtable of intelligentsia expounding hot air to know the truth, it is inbreed within us.  It is not a poll to determine our position or a fear of what one might say, it is knowing and doing what is the right.

You see my friends we are the last great hope for mankind, if we fail in this 244 year experiment into freedom, the entire world will follow us to destruction and a new fearfully prophesied world ruling power will soon come upon the scene.  I see the future hanging in the balance.  At times tears flow and I long for the old America.  She was not perfect, but she was free.  We faced our troubled demons head on, taking years to fix, but we fixed them. We aren’t perfect, but we are the land of the free and the home of the brave. Rule of law and fair play, which is missing today, was a cornerstone we stood on. Equal protection under the law and equality of rights we envisioned for all.  Lady Justice has taken off her blindfolds.  As the Bible declares in Isaiah 59, “Justice is turned back and truth falls in the street”.

We are the only nation on the face of the earth with a saying such as this, the American Dream.  To borrow an eloquent title from a wonderful movie that typifies who we were and who we should attempt to become again to save this republic.  I ask the question, do we have The Right Stuff?  

America Long May She Live

Imagine if you will if America ceased to exist. We are heading down that path. We are the last and only hope for mankind in this world. Freedoms of all forms would go away. Tyrants in fixed elections would ascend to the ruling seat of all countries in bogus elections. We are the last great bastion of personal freedoms in the world. We can worship who we want, say what we want, and go where we want freely. I, for one will do that till the day I die. Long live the American dream! America, she is worth fighting for.
