now the big issue is...Why does big government have to be in everything we do? What has happened to our bill of rights? I know my rights and they do NOT say anything about this government, or any for that matter messing with my life! Folks I am NOT just talking about this administration in the White House today. Even those that have come before and claimed conservatism were NOT. How many of you have ACTUALLY READ the Bill of Rights? Do you really know what they say? of course not. Quite a few of you would rather sit back and have the government control every aspect of your life so you can sip your Machiato and surf your favorite sites in peace. This world has enough apathetics! look to the Nations that have to fight for the right to live! Look at those in Burma, South Korea and so on. Yet you say, "what a shame, good thing our country isn't like that." OH YEAH!!! you wait, your apathy will be your downfall and you won't even know it's happening until it is WAY to late. Here is some food for thought, and maybe a little EDJUMAKATION for you. P.S. there will be commentary after.

So Where does it say my child cannot pray in school, even with his class? Where does it say that because I am a law abiding citizen, that I may not own a rifle or handgun for any reason? where does it state that there should be a withdraw of "religion" from the state? I will not say separation of the church and state. IT DOES NOT EXIST IN THE CONSTITUTION!! people READ and be knowledgeable of what "career" politicians are doing to your FREEDOMS!! I PRAY YOU STAND AND RECOGNIZE THE CHAOS AROUND YOU! FIGHT BACK! CLAIM WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY OURS.....THIS REPUBLIC OF THE UNITED STATES, BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE! nuff said.
Every time I'm exposed to the original scripting of our country's basic directives, I'm left simply aghast at how very different things actually are from those simple, yet ample guidelines. It's disheartening. Honestly. We fall victim/subject to selfish, greedy, and overambitious people who use their positions of "importance" to usurp from us everything that we are, and everything we are entitled to.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm aghast, quite frequently. Though not surprised. Fight it, if I can, I will, but such is the behavior of humanity, timeless. However, Chaos is the natural state of all things. Everything eventually devolves to that. But anyone who thinks that gives them license to sit back and do nothing is sickeningly misguided.
Life is a delicate balance between chaos and order, but chaos has never been one to sit complacently and respect that balance. To maintain that balance, agents of order must continuously and actively establish that balance, or all is lost and degenerates into chaos.
The same is true for all aspects of our lives, though, the balance within the workings of our country seems to be quickly fading. With that will quickly go all aspects of balance within our lives.
The government is unraveling. We need to stand up, and hold it together by the threads if we have to.
