Today the 4th of July, my wife, myself and my 20 yr old headed to the Capitol Steps here in nearby DC to witness the concert and the tremendous fireworks display that we have watched so many times before on TV when we lived in other places and had said ... one day we are going to go and be a part of that ourselves... and so it came to be.
Prior to today I had taken in the History Channel's excellent series on the American Revolution, and had been reflecting on what I had learned over the years about our forefathers intentions for this great land, and too; on what a sad state of affairs we have today with all sorts of attacks on the Bill of Rights.
The crowd was staggaring as we drove along the Mall toward the Capitol, and we had been gaily chatting about the reverie of participating in celebrating our Nation's Birthday with all of these people, when I happened to comment on this being our 223rd Birthday and how ironic it was that our Congress is trying to take away the .223, 5.56 x 51mm little black rifle that has been our current symbol of Freedom.... when my Daughter said " I wish one day could go by without"... knowing from her tone that the rest of the sentance was to the effect 'without having to hash this Gun Control stuff over and over' and I cut her off with a glare and a sharp response of " That's just fine ... it'll be you and your kids that live in abject slavery when the Bill of Rights is shreaded after they take away our guns !" She appologized and I went on a short while about our Founding Fathers;
but thats got me to thinking about our delemma.
If my own Daughter doesn't want to speak of the tyranical actions being forced on us by a elitist and media controlled Congress, then what a horrendous task indeed lies before us. We, each must maintain our our constant vigil of unwavering support of the ideals that founded our nation and teach incessantly to our offspring and to all that we come in contact with about the wrongheadedness and downright treason going on in our governments at nearly all levels.
It matters not that we may be perceived as the fool , or the ranting politico gun nuts, what matters is that we keep the issue alive in the minds of the nation so that all of our fellow Americans may become alert to the transgressions of our liberty and join us in their own personal way to fight and win back our Republic....
YES I said WIN BACK OUR REPUBLIC !
We have gone too far down the road , and our enemy is too strong to settle for anything remotely resembling the status quo. We must teach our children the correct American history , with all its ugliness and its inspiring, nearly divine purposes as set forth by our Founding Fathers.
So to borrow a phase... " My fellow Americans, ask not what my country may do for me, Ask what can I do for my country...." He gave his life because he intended to turn our nation back toward the Republic it was designed to be, but never got the opportunity to do so.
Each of you must give some measure of your humanity, your material possessions, and perhaps even your blood to win this war.
"united we stand: divided we fall"
