I daydream of statesmen

We’ve dropped our guard down. We’ve chosen to abandon virtue and to ignore knowledge. Stopping our ears like school children chanting “I’m not listening.” all the way to the voting booth. We’ve become apathetic and held our heads in the sand for too long. When things started to get a little tough, the heads popped up. They looked around, saw hope and change, panicked and voted for it without counting the cost. Without even finding out what that change would look like! We are about to be enslaved by a new breed of government and society. With a president who feels that there are fundamental flaws in the Constitution; brace your selves.

It’s a sad day in the history of our country. Right is wrong and wrong is right. The good have been mocked and the evil have been praised, worshipped and now elected. True heroes have been picked apart and connivers couched and protected by teams of media elite.

I daydream of statesmen who once stood for truth and honor. I long for the day when men stood for right because their integrity required it of them. Their decisions might not make their life easier. Their choices might even walk them into their own private hell. Yet down deep inside they knew they were doing the right thing for the good of the country. They knew that there was a supreme God that would provide peace to their souls because they were doing the right thing, despite the trials that were: hunger, discouragement, cold, injury, torture or even death. Their determination and courage brought us a land of opportunity and freedom.

We have now chosen a future of mystery and uncertainty all in the name of hope and change. As flowery as his words sound to all who have voted democratic, our president-elect’s “values” are an abomination to our American ideals. Those who have been researching and learning the truth realize that this contest’s outcome is the first step toward converting our democratic republic to communism. Wait and see. You’ve unleashed an unknown force that even you will tremble from in days to come.

We have a choice. Will we worship this new leader who has promised so very much at our own expense or will we instead choose to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and resolve to resurrect that America that our national anthem refers to? Land of the free and home of the brave.

    Well, I think we need to stand for liberty whenever we have opportunity to do so. At the same time we Christians must keep our equilibrium in this descent into end times. It’s kind of like skiing - it’s downhill all way, the terrain is constantly changing, and our sense of balance and security is challenged at every moment. But knowing the trail ahead of time and knowing where it ends makes it a lot less terrifying! Fortunately, we have a trail map and an Instructor along with us. Yeah, reread Revelation, and I know you read the Psalms daily, pick a favorite! Go ahead, let the Book fall open anywhere. God’s promises of deliverance are all over it!

    Is it any wonder that this letter to the editor/editorial has been ignored by the local newspaper that I submitted it to almost a week ago now. It has been set aside, or deleted, I’m not sure which, in order to print Obama praise letters.

    Diane,
    This is so well said and so true. I think you’ve put into words the very thoughts of true Christians and true Americans. How sad that our country is headed in the direction that it is. Your words are eloquent and so well thought.
