Get your guns, load the cannons, we cannot stand by any longer and let our soldiers give their lives for freedom and democracy when we’re exercising neither here in The United States of America.

We can fight and win wars on many fronts, but if we can’t take care of business here at home, none of the others even count.

When we have men and women on the battlefield trying to protect our country, and we’re sitting back and letting it go to “hell in a hand basket,” we ought to be ashamed. Soldiers should not be fighting for our freedoms when we’re throwing them down the toilet. What’s wrong with us – do we not get this picture?

I’ll be a “monkey’s uncle” if I’m going to let this country fall into the hands of people who have decided to set another agenda. This agenda’s just fine, thank you. It’s worked for nearly 229 years, and I’m sick of listening to liberal squawkers crying for change.

GO START YOUR OWN COUNTRY. I believe there are enough of you now that could get along pretty well with what you’ve got. You might want to reconsider abortion, however, for if you keep killing babies, you’ll have no new blood to “raise-up” into your liberal mindset. You’ll become extinct under your own “murder program.”

For those of you who would delight in seeing America “go under,” I’m here to tell you
. . . THIS SHIP HASN’T GONE DOWN YET!!!

We’re at WAR, folks! A real live war played out before us on the streets of America.

The judiciary dictators have thwarted the will of the people and have decided on their own that it’s what “they” say, not the people, that becomes the law of the land. When the ballot box is thrown out by judges, then someone’s got some ‘splainin’ to do.

U.S. District Judge, Joseph Bataillon, did just that. After the voters of Nebraska in the 2000 election passed an amendment which defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman, this man just up and decides NO, that can’t be. Excuuuuuussssseee ME!
When you take away our ballot box, you’ve rendered us helpless. It’s the only ammunition we have.

“Rise up, for you the flag is flung, for you the bugle trills” is not just part of a Walt Whitman poem . . . it’s also a clarion call. Do you hear the bells ringing?

Listen Americans, this country was founded on Christian principles by Christian men and women who gave their lives, their fortunes, and all they had so that we could have the freedom to worship, to speak, and to live without the fear of retribution for exercising any of these.

When Sean Burns of Vermont was told he could not put John 3 16 on his license plate because it makes a reference to the deity, or it would look like state sponsored religion, we’ve got to ACT.

When the Fieldcrest subdivision in Brentwood, Tennessee banned a resident from flying the American flag in his yard, we’ve got to ACT.

When a marine in Florida was fined by the homeowner’s association and threatened to foreclose on his home if he didn’t remove his American flag, that was the time when all of us should have said: “ENOUGH.”

Hello!! Does anyone know that those red stripes stand for BLOOD; it was blood that was shed so those flags could fly.

What has gotten into us? Have we lost our will to fight for what’s right in this country? No marine should ever be threatened to lose his home because he wants to fly an American flag.

And who tells Luke Whitson, an elementary school student in Knoxville, Tennessee that he can’t read his Bible during recess. Now that takes the cake.

In all these instances, I trust that right will prevail. But in America, no citizen should have to go through the court system to fight for these rights. These battles have already been fought . . . and won, I might add. Hello! Can we start teaching some history around here?

If our little girls have to carry guns to protect themselves from men like Jerry Hobbs who gouge their eyes out with a knife, then lets teach little girls how to shoot a gun. We’ll just teach them to aim for their feet . . . at least they’ll have a running chance.

At the sake of sounding silly with all this “gun” talk, I want you to know I am at my wit’s end to have to witness another child slaughtered by a madman. We obviously do not have the will to protect these children.

This man, Hobbs, was in jail for aggravated assault because he was running around a trailer park threatening people with a chain saw. Was he released on good behavior because he promised not to fire up the old chain saw again? How many more children are going to die because we can’t get our act together?

This country has become so unrecognizable that I hardly know it’s America. What happened to the rights of innocent people? We’ve got some “housecleaning” to do. The next “cleaning” is scheduled in 2006 and we better get down to the baseboards and start scraping the dirt and grime away . . . NOW!

Just when I think it’s time to go sit back down in my pew and keep my nose in the Bible rather than what’s going on in the world, I find that though I know God can handle this mess all alone – because I truly believe in the end, He will - I get charged up once again knowing that He still counts on us to do our part. And I also believe it shows how much we truly love OUR CREATOR and OUR COUNTRY.

I keep telling myself, “God doesn’t need me, He can do anything.” But I’m always reminded of the story of the old farmer who took on a field that had become barren with rot and disease in the soil. Several months later, after much blood, sweat and tears, a stranger came along and commented to the farmer that God had truly blessed him with a great piece of land, so rich and fertile.

The old farmer answered, “Yes, the good Lord and I have been working on this land for nearly a year now, but you should have seen it when He had it by Himself.”

And once again this is my affirmation that God needs us. He needs you . . . He needs me, and when we think we can’t take anymore, we need to throw ourselves back into the fold, because we still have more work to do.
