THE FOURTH OF JULY, 2017
If
you haven’t figured out, by now, that we are in a state of civil war, that our
Constitution is under attack, that our freedom and liberty are, at this very
moment, in danger of being lost forever, then, my friends, you’d BETTER wake
up!
Socialism,
for the last 80-or-so years, has quietly crept into our government; undermining
our Constitution and the Bill of Rights and insinuating itself into the fabric
of every aspect of our society. Adherents move slowly, cautiously, under the
guise of “compassion for the needy, the poor and the minority”, and build the
framework of a Socialist state; rather, a cage.
The
Declaration of Independence, adopted on July 4th, 1776, set in
motion the circumstances for what was to become the greatest and freest society
in history. We broke with the Crown, becoming a free people who previously were
subjects.
That
freedom, that liberty, spelled out and memorialized in The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and
Bill of Rights, required, from time to time, the sacrifice of patriots, willing
to kill and lay down their lives in defense of that shared idea, that shared dream. Wars of words
as well as of rounds have kept that shared idea, that dream, alive.
Today,
we again are at war. Today, we stand at a crossroad and must decide whether
that shared idea is worth defending. Our freedom, our liberty, our future, hang
in the balance.
And
now, each and every moment, we must decide.
Is
freedom worth the fight? Is liberty worth the words? Are our Founding Documents
worth preserving, defending even to the death? Do we squander and render meaningless the
sacrifice of those who paid the price for us?
Our
enemy is Socialism, as well as those who espouse that misguided ideology. Those
advocates are relentless in their pursuit. They will never accept defeat. They
will never stop. They will never rest until our Founding Documents are
relegated to a mere footnote in history.
We
have NO choice, if those Founding Documents are to remain relevant. The price
for losing or refusing to engage is captivity.
Let
this, and every, Fourth of July (indeed, EVERY DAY, with EVERY BREATH) renew
our spirit of patriotism. And let us prepare to defend our freedom and liberty
with our very lives.
HAPPY
FOURTH, EVERYONE!
