Enough
already!
When
I look at the news nowadays I wonder what has come over everyone. Why are we
always fighting and in disarray? I see all these news reports and all I can
think of is hasn’t anybody ever heard the old saying “divide and conquer”?
We
are dividing ourselves up, with labels.
We
label everything.
White,
black, brown, Asian, Hispanic, disabled, learning delayed, Native American,
European decent, LGBT, the labels are endless, and everyone falls into one category,
or two or three.
But
what everyone fails to see is this dividing of the people is working.
Divide
and conquer.
The
forces against us as Free Nation want us to fall apart. They want the constitution
to be shredded. They want America as a free nation to end before we celebrate
250 years. The worst part is they are succeeding.
We
are a divided nation.
We
are no longer Americans.
We
are a nation of people divided by race, creed, gender, ability, sexual
preference and socio-economic background. We are a nation that will find
anything little label to divide us from each other.
The
longer we stay divided by all these labels, the more labels we have, the more
we fight and argue about these labels, the more we let these labels define us,
the faster this once great Nation is going to fall and be no more.
I’m
an unapologetic patriotic American. I believe in the principles written in the
constitution and I believe if we would stop this great mass division among the
people we would be able to find the freedoms, the pursuit of happiness, that
our founding fathers envisioned or all of us.
I’m
greatly saddened by what appears to be a slow march into socialism and communism
for this once great country, most particularly the currant attacks on our
Second Amendment right to bare arms.
All
of it is focused on gun rights, but what both sides fall to realize is that
this amendment had very little to do with gun rights, but much more to do with
the rights of the people to GOVERN.
Our
government is a REPUBLIC, meaning we’re supposed to be governed by THE PEOPLE.
Our right to bare arms is so that those in government positions don’t forget
for whom they are working for and attempt to take over. You, like they are
trying to do right now.
Throughout
all recorded history the first thing ALL tyrants do is take the weapons away
from their citizens so that they have no means to fight back. Hitler being just
one of many examples.
There
was a poem, written back in Hitler’s time, by I believe a Catholic priest. It
said something about not speaking up for the Jewish people because he wasn’t
Jewish. And then listed others that he didn’t speak up or because it wasn’t
him, but then he ended with but there is no one left to speak up or him.
Are
we going to let that happen here? One by one people are going to disappear but
well it isn’t my group of people so what do I care?
As
long as we are divided, they will conquer us, and America will be a free nation
under the constitution no longer.
Let
me quote Abraham Lincoln, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” He got
that from the holy bible though I can’t quote scripture and verse.
This
Fourth of July, let all of commit to drop the labels and be Americans,
undivided, standing together for freedom and justice for all.
Smile.
Make the day a brighter day.
