As we celebrate the 237th birthday of the United States of America, I can’t help but look back at the sacrifices that have been made to make us free and the selfish political ambition, sloth and greed that is being attempted today to turn America into a godless, hedonistic, lazy nation dependent on a monolithic central government for everything that makes life possible.
And no, I am not being pessimistic, just realistic. I love America with all my heart, and to see what has become of it in the past three quarters of a century that I’ve been a citizen is nothing short of heartbreaking.
The people who came here to escape the kind of government that would try to tell them how they are allowed to worship and what their moral values should be would not believe that the nation they fought a bloody revolution to free has fallen back into the hands of a government who would try to force the church and believers to go against their heartfelt convictions.
The ragtag Continental Army that stood against the mighty British Empire with little more than squirrel rifles and guts would never accept the fact that the nation they fought so hard to rescue from a tyrant would prop up dictatorships, support despots and arm nations who would eventually turn those arms against America.
