Faithfulness to principle and fellow Americans

 

The recent publicized shooting incidents have given the Progressives an emergency situation, or as they prefer to call it a “crisis that can’t be wasted”. The sensationalizing of murders by the press is just another propaganda opportunity for the feds to push their goal of disarming Americans in much the same way many other countries have disarmed their citizens for the purpose of control.  Don’t get me wrong, any murder is a horrible thing but to use such crimes to promote a long delayed political agenda is not only wrong it is a morbid and blatant display of evil.

  In recent weeks the anti-gun lobby, made up of mostly Progressives who know little or nothing about firearms beyond the fact that they know they don’t like them, has begun an all-out assault on the second amendment. Politicians from both parties are spreading propaganda about the dangers of citizens being in possession of so-called assault weapons and are demanding more control over law-abiding gun owners and in some cases the confiscation of all firearms which is a violation of their oath of office in which they swear to “defend and protect” the constitution.

 

   Even though every statistic proves beyond any shadow of doubt that the presence of guns in the private sector is a clear deterrent to violent crime Progressives continue to insist that guns are the problem. They are given free media attention to promote their talking points which is fed to and believed by the uninformed masses as truth. There is no doubt what their end goal is, all one needs to do is listen to their own words and it will leave only one conclusion, they want a disarmed citizenry. In addition to the politicians spreading their propaganda there have been several calls for the murder of NRA members and the forced confiscation of firearms from all citizens by many mainstream media moguls and Hollywood hypocrites.

   If history is any indicator of things to come we are going to see an all-out assault on the second amendment resulting in the further dividing of America with the intended result of a massive government intervention and ultimately a push for the forced confiscation of all firearms and the imprisonment of all who resist the unlawful and unconstitutional order to surrender their arms.

  There will be many who will resist, myself among them, and likely be made examples of by the Progressive propaganda machine. This will be done to disparage gun owners in general and to sow fear of reprisal into society for all others. As was done in other Communist and Marxist take overs they will bring false accusations against the alleged offenders to justify their prosecution, if they are taken alive.  A prime example of this is the recent imprisonment of the man who made the film that the Progressives tried to pass off as the cause of the Benghazi murders. One might think that the Hollywood film makers would have protested the governments’ quick action in blaming an artist but then again they are “owned” by the Progressives and their agenda is of more value than a single citizen.

  As events unfold and the war on the second amendment heats up there is going to be a need for Americans to stand together and resist the overthrow of the Constitution.  Knowing what the goal of the enemy (progressivism) is will be necessary to defeat them. They will come after gun owners first then they will come after another group they feel is a threat to their agenda. It always happens that way and will again, that is why we must inform as many as possible and learn to use critical thinking when listening to anti-gun talking points.

  If you stand by and allow fellow citizens to be bullied by the feds you will likely be next and then your neighbors and friends. We are a nation of constitutional laws and if we abandon the principles we have always held dear we will cease to exist and will become a Marxist state that will imprison our children and their children.

   We must do all we can to instill the values we were endowed with by our creator through our founders to our children and any who are in our sphere of influence. It is important to know what the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution says about the limits of the federal government and the liberties it guarantees every citizen so you can challenge those violating them.

  As a Christian I know what value God puts on honor and faithfulness. In the Old Testament Jonathan stood by the soon to be king and covenant friend David when King Saul was trying to kill David. Even though it cost Jonathan his life he stood by his principles and as a result his child was saved and lived in the house of the king for the rest of his life. His faithfulness to a friend got his name and character recorded in scripture for hundreds of millions to be inspired by.

   Another example found in scripture is that of Jesus’ mother and two other women whose names were also permanently recorded for generations to read about. The three women were Mary the mother of Jesus, Joanna and Mary Magdalene. Their example is, to me, one of the greatest revealed in scripture. They watched as Jesus was publically executed and were devastated by the site of seeing the one whom they loved and had placed all their hope in die before their eyes. They were stunned by the betrayal and abandonment of all those who had just days before sworn allegiance to him even to their own deaths. There is no indication in scripture that anyone including his mother had any hope or faith left in the ‘man’ Jesus. But despite the fact that he had ‘failed’ to fulfill their expectations the women stayed faithful to him.

  During the Sabbath they made preparations for the proper burial procedures and on the morning the time had come to go care for their son and friends body they left together for the tomb. I cannot imagine the pain and sorrow they were going through as they walked to the tomb to honor him that morning. When they arrived at the tomb instead of having to find a way to open the tomb to care for the dead body they were met by angels declaring that “He is not here, He is risen”. It was their faithfulness to another human being, and a dead one at that, that allowed them to meet the Risen Savior.  

  It is this kind of faithfulness that will be necessary for America to survive the attack being perpetrated by those in the so-called ‘ELITE’ class. The attacks are only now beginning to be felt, but as the days and weeks come they will intensify in viciousness and sheer volume. The enemies of America are determined to take control of every aspect of what has always been normal life. We must be resolved in our minds and hearts that there is hope for our future through faithfulness to God, each other and the principles we share as a people.

    If we cower in fear and allow the arrest and conviction of gun owners to take place without protesting and if necessary storming the halls of congress in the same manner as the unions did in Wisconsin then we are not worthy of the name “American”. It is my hope and prayer that patriots all across this nation will recognize the evils being unleashed against our very identity, and collectively with one unified voice shout “WE WILL NOT COMPLY”. Every U.S. veteran took an oath to protect the Constitution and there was no expiration date associated with that oath. We who took that oath must prove ourselves worthy of the oath we took and rise up in defense of the Constitution, if we do not then we are no better than the 99% of politicians assaulting the foundation of this great republic.
