No More Complacency It's time to watch and listen

This country was founded by selfless men who held integrity, character, courage and honor above all by risking their lives because they believed in freedom. American’s have taken these freedoms for granted and our complacency is not without consequence. The sands of American freedom are quickly eroding into a sea of lies, division and greed perpetrated by individuals who allow their political aspirations to supersede the will of the people. Yet, we continue to elect politicians based on name recognition, popularity and party affiliation while ignoring the obvious warning signs. Let’s face it; these signs are not hard to find if you are willing to watch and listen.

Watch for candidates who cannot honorably accept defeat and attempt to circumvent the primary process by changing party affiliation or through litigation. Apparently, they believe we are too dumb to decide or that they know better. Maybe they bank on us forgetting that if you quit, you’re a quitter and if you lose, you’re a loser. Haven’t we elected enough quitters and losers already?

Now that you are watching try and listen for candidates who deliberately evade questions in an attempt to hide their true beliefs. Those that hide, lack the courage to face their fears, and the integrity to stand up for what they believe. In other words, consider it a foreshadowing of future policy decision making that puts the politician before the people and further erodes our freedoms.

America is at a crossroads, a pivotal point in time that requires voters and legislators to make a lot of tough decisions. We are faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges that must be handled by selfless men who hold integrity, character, courage and honor above all. Such men still exist, but if we are complacent, we will continue to elect selfish, self serving individuals. Fortunately, Americans have a long standing history of rising to the occasion and doing what is right. One can only hope that this turns out to be one of those times.

Not only their lives but their wives, daughters and sons. It’s a monumental difference from just risking ones own.

Show’s the deep character and Gods influence on that century of chosen men and women.

"Such men still exist, but if we are complacent, we will continue to elect selfish, self serving individuals."

If we continue to be political, to vote, and to support them and their favored constituents through frenzied work and spending, they and their relatives will continue to force their perverted social desires and economic schemes upon us.

Stop spending so much. Become more self-sufficient, and learn to produce some necessity.

[Psalm 144]

Not only their lives but their wives, daughters and sons. It’s a monumental difference from just risking ones own.

“They could kill my kids”.

At Ruby Ridge and Waco, they did exactly that. As examples, IMO. The fact of governmental willingness and ability to commit murder must be dealt with and acknowledged. Only if one can face and defy that potential threat can we strangle the present nascent statism.

As Thomas Paine said, “Tyranny, like Hell, is not easily defeated”.
