4th of July Call to Action

For so many of us the image of George Washington is that of the perpetual battle commander who never lost a battle; however, General George Washington suffered one defeat after another at the hands of the British. Time and again, General Washington was forced to retreat from battle; often times due to a strategic blunder that he would regret for the remainder of his life. But General Washington stood firm against the losses and never let his soldiers see him waiver in his convictions.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we are in the midst of a great and terrible battle for our country against tyranny and corruption. Let there be no doubt that the Republican Party has suffered a series of tremendous blows, some of the defeats by a talented and charismatic opponent, but more often by a strategic blunder of one of our own. So many of our leaders have fallen away from the battle before us, or worse have been found to be nothing more than RINO traitors to the Party and to the Republic.

But on this day in which we celebrate our Independence from another tyrannical leader, we must stand firm in our convictions. Like a lighthouse being hammered by the wild tempests of the sea, our duty to God and Country cannot be allowed to be extinguished. Thousands of miles away our Marines, Soldiers, Seamen, and Airmen are moving into battlefields to keep us safe at home and to establish liberty, opportunity, and freedom for others. It must therefore be impossible for us to waiver in our battle here at home against those that would have us lay down our beliefs, our laws, or our moral convictions.

The United States Constitution is under attack and the waves of corruption continue to rise higher and higher against us. Now is not the time to sit on our sofas and wallow in pity and defeat! Even as more of our leaders stumble and expose themselves for their own ill gotten gain or find themselves standing arm in arm within the enemy’s encampment- we must stand before our fellow Republicans and Libertarians as General Washington did. Calculated retreats may be required, but the war must continue- the battles must be fought, and heroes will be found.

In Britain, the government laughed and mocked the patriots who dared to stand against the mighty power of the Empire; yet our forefathers stood and took the battle to the Redcoats with passion in their hearts and in indifference to their own dangers. Can we not then stand proudly against the mocking of the new state run and mainstream media’s attacks and defamation? Are Katie Couric and David Letterman a force stronger that the British Empire!? No, I say they are fools whose only motives are their own selfish marketing advancement and their lies will be exposed. To be American is not some schoolgirl popularity contest nor a race to see who can be the trendiest celebrity. To be American means you are willing to sacrifice all that you are in defense of our inalienable rights and the pursuit of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

We can all see that the current administration is more interested in their own image and propagation of their idolatry than they are the defense of the constitution. You cannot debate with fools who have defined their leader as infallible and lifted him up to a status of near immortality. To admit their own errors and the destruction of the country by this wreckless and poorly prepared rookie leader, would be unbearable to their already warped collective psyche. They know they can no longer look into the looking glass without seeing their failures and the destruction it has caused, the deception which has hoodwinked them; and so they must trudge on blindly chanting like zealot proselytizing worshippers of so many cults.

Republicans do not stand apart from the masses and not want to contribute to the success of our fellow countrymen and friends; however, we DO NOT want our government imposing itself upon us to take from us to give to others. We are a giving people, with a history of generosity that far surpasses any other people. Republicans give of their time, their resources, and themselves- while the new Democratic Party has established itself as a group of thugs expecting entitlements, handouts, taxation, and power.

So I ask you, this 4th of July to stand in resolve to bear the tempest and shine your beacon lights for others to see. To remember that the fireworks exploding above you are an analogy to the cannon fire which our Patriots endured. The explosions represent the blasts of bombs and gunfire that our fallen servicemen heard as they gave their lives to protect us and they are the same blasts which our current military family must endure to see us safely through this night. Each of those fireworks that flash and light up the night need to be a remembrance of the flicker of souls that were laid down so that you could enjoy the freedoms bestowed upon us by a benevolent God and ensured by the words written within our United States Constitution.

This Independence Day needs to mark a new turning point in the battle. You must rise up in opposition and use your time, talents, and energy to reach out to Congress, the Senate, and to the White House on every bill, every law, and every resolution to take back what has been slowly wrenched from us. Act now or prepare to remain in silence forever against the voices that continue to take away your freedoms.

Stand like General Washington, stand as the lighthouse in the storm- Stand Our Ground!

God Bless each of you and God Bless with all his majesty our United States of America.
