This is America today.....does it sound familiar!? The following was written by a young lady named Ali Brown. Friends, I implore you to READ THIS! She certainly has my utmost respect! All I can say is WOW! WOW!! WOW!!! I am sitting here totally speechless ...................... Our president is a tyrant. The liberals in office are highly educated idiots. The conservatives in office proved yesterday that they are real good at putting up a fake fight, but in the end are cowards, spineless sell-outs ..... traitors. There are 3 categories of citizens in this nation: the sheeple who drink whatever Kool-Aid tastes better at the time, the lazy bunch who feel entitled to the working classes hard earned money and benefits, and finally those of us obama hatin, gun lovin, Bible thumpin self proclaimed Tea Party Patriots who rant and rave day in and day out about all the above ... but in the end we are just as yellow-bellied as the conservatives we sent to office. I am ashamed. I am ashamed of the Christians who are kicked back in their church pews waiting on the trumpet blast from heaven, having resided to the fact that It must be the last days, we may as well let it all play out. I am ashamed of the older generation who says Aww well .... I wont be here much longer anyways. I am ashamed of those in their 40s and 50s who have given up and say Stock up on rice and beans and bullets and find a hidey hole to ride it out in. Fighting would be a hopeless cause. I am ashamed of those of us in our 20s and 30s who are more concerned w/todays conveniences than tomorrows troubles whose mindset is Im gonna enjoy it while I still can! I look into the eyes of my little girls and I am ashamed. I am ashamed that I am not willing to do anything to preserve the freedom that I inherited. The freedom that should be theirs as well but sadly never will be. Ill vote, Ill write, and Ill share facebook posts, Ill give my opinion to the Walmart cashier but I wont risk my money, my family, or my life. Thats too high of a cost. Thats crazy person talk. Who in their right mind would go against the flow, would raise so much as a finger against the powers that be ... would start a revolution? Who would love their country more than self? Who would die in bondage so that their children could live in freedom? I can think of a few men ... a few men who knew what it was like to fight for their liberty. A few men who watched their families murdered, their houses burned, their livestock taken, their money drained, and whose last moments on this earth were spent on their knees before a firing squad. I can think of a few men who were willing to be arrested for filling a harbor w/tea, a few women who bravely helped their husbands into their cloaks knowing they were probably kissing them goodbye for the last time. I can think of a few boys who were brave enough to lie about their age for the chance to hold a musket, a few girls who sat dutifully beside the wounded, washing them, reading to them, praying for them. The British called them rebels and radicals ... they called themselves Patriots! In their day, they would have stormed The White House w/guns blazing and cannons roaring. They would have physically removed any tyrant who threatened their liberties and he and all of his cronies would have been hung for high treason. Yes, they would have acted at great cost and risk ... but they would have acted still. I have been to Washington, DC.. I have walked past monuments, memorials, and strolled through grave yards. I have soberly stood on battle fields, on the very ground where men died to give me liberty. I have read books, and studied history, and watched films that gave me chill bumps. I am ashamed. I am ashamed that we shout the words Freedom is not free! as if that means something to us. We do not know the cost of freedom. We didnt pay the price ... and it has become apparent to me that we never will, b/c we are not bold enough, wise enough, courageous enough, faithful enough ... patriotic enough to follow in the footsteps of our fathers. I am ashamed that no one is willing to pick up the first torch and start the revolution. I am ashamed that my girls will grow up in a socialist society at best, most likely a communist regime. I am ashamed that myself, my grandfather, my father, my brother, my husband, my church, my community, my state, and every other red blooded American on this continent and beyond are willing to let that happen. Maybe The Lord is coming back but He can rapture us from the battlefield just as easily as He can from the church pew. Im sure glad our founding fathers didnt gamble our liberty on a date that God has assured us that no man knows! Im sure glad 70 yr. old Benjamin Franklin didnt sit at home b/c he wouldnt be around much longer anyways. Im glad George Washington, in his mid-40s, didnt ride out the storm in a bunker full of rice and beans b/c the world was hopeless. Oh Im certainly glad that James Madison, in his 20s and 30s, chose the less convenient route and worked hard to frame the document that would sustain a free republic for over 200 yrs.! I am so thankful for the 9 signers of The Declaration of Independence who lost their lives b/c of their brave and rebellious act. I praise The Lord for the courage of the 17 signers who lost every single penny and every single piece of land they owned all b/c they heroically penned their names to that sheet of paper. I am eternally grateful to all 56 men who risked everything to start the revolution that birthed this nation and all that it means to me. I cry when I think of the hundreds who lost their lives on the battlefields to ensure that piece of paper would become worth something. And I am ashamed. I am ashamed that we are not willing to pay even a fraction of the cost they did. Oh we swear we will fight to the death, but when they kick us off of our very own land, our very own water, our very own monuments and memorials for no other reason than to declare their tyrannical power, we sip Starbucks on the way to work and come home to fried chicken and a Netflix movie. Life is good. we say. We dont agree w/obamacare, but since 500 men in Washington are cramming it down our throats, then we dutifully swallow it instead of vomiting it up in their faces. I am ashamed. I am sickenly ashamed. We hide behind whatever excuse we can find but the truth is we are spineless cowards, who truly do not deserve to have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We should all be ashamed. We should all be ashamed at the thought of just how much our founding fathers sacrificed for us and how little we are willing to sacrifice for our children and grandchildren and generations to come!
