Charlie Daniels' Open Letter to Congress: 'You've Betrayed Your Country' (Just Wow!)

CNS ^ | August 25, 2015 | Charlie Daniels

[xzins]

I am a proud American who believes that America has held – and still holds – a very sensitive and special place in the affairs of mankind on Planet Earth. I believe that America has been divinely blessed and protected in our two centuries plus of existence.

I believe that America has been a counter balance that has cancelled out a lot of tyranny, evil and conquest, and admittedly, we have made a lot of mistakes. But on balance we have exerted a certain Pax Americana in the international affairs of mankind.

It took a lot of old fashioned guts for the Continental Congress to stand up to the world's mightiest military and tell them that we demanded our independence, even at the peril of going up against a far superior force on land and sea, and with only a ragtag army of untrained citizens, many of whom had to supply their own firearms.

It took courage above and beyond for Abraham Lincoln to push the country into a Civil War that he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt would divide this nation for decades.

It took guts to give the order for American troops to storm the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, straight into the face of artillery and machine gunfire, wave after wave being cut to ribbons by German shore emplacements.

The history of this nation is written in the blood and courage of men who stood in the face of overwhelming odds – politicians, soldiers, statesmen and ordinary citizens who sought to do the right thing regardless of the cost or the consequences.

Well, ladies and gentlemen of the United States Congress, it seems that that particular pen has run out of ink. The courageous politicians that once championed this nation have been replaced, for the most part, by a breed of milksop, politically correct, scared of their own shadow, pushover, pathetic excuses for public servants who are supposed to be representing a constituency of citizens who have to live with the circumstances of their timid folly.

You don't even have the courage to face down an out of control president, even when he makes a deal with the devil. Don't you bunch of timid capons even care what kind of world you're leaving to your children and grandchildren, not to even mention the rest of us? Are you really party partisans before your parents and grandparents or even human beings?

Be honest with yourselves a minute. Go into the bathroom and look in the mirror and ask the person you see this question: "Do I really believe that Iran will not use the money we're releasing to them to finance terrorists to kill Americans, and, when, not if, but when, the Iranians develop their nuclear device, will they really use it against America and Israel?"

You can’t hide from the truthful answer to that question forever, an answer will be required of you one day.

You have allowed Obama to tilt the Supreme Court so far to the left that they're little more than a shameful extension of the Executive Branch.

You have talked for decades about the porous southern border but have done absolutely nothing about it.

You have allowed cities in this nation to declare themselves sanctuary cities where they protect the worst of the worst criminal aliens, and American citizens are paying an awful price for your silence.

You watch an impossible National Debt balloon completely out of control, knowing full well that a day of reckoning is coming that will seriously curtail the quality of life for coming generations.

You allow corrupt government agencies like the IRS to run over the very people you are sworn to protect and allow the entitlement society to expand exponentially. All the while, you are actually entertaining the idea of raising taxes on those who still work and shoulder the burden.

You compose a third of the constitutionally mandated ruling system,and you shirk your duty

and allow this nation to move a little closer to the edge every day.

Your ratings are in the single digits; your morals are in the gutter; your minds are on self-preservation; and somewhere along the way, you’ve traded your honor for political expediency.

You've violated your oaths; you've betrayed your country; you've feathered your nests; and you've sat on your hands while an imperial president has rubbed your noses in the dirt time after time.

You're no longer men. You're puppets, caricatures, jokes, a gaggle of fading prostitutes for sale to anybody who can do you a political favor.

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”

What do you think?

Pray for our troops and the peace of Jerusalem.

God Bless America

That man can write.

Yeap and he's "nothing but a simple man" :>}

Thank You Charlie Daniels

[PGalt]

HOORAY Charlie Daniels. Thank you, sir.

[Boomer]

Right on Charlie! Nailed it!

AMEN! Saving

It took courage above and beyond for Abraham Lincoln to push the country into a Civil War that he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt would divide this nation for decades.

Oh my goodness . . .

Abraham Lincoln did not push the country into a Civil War. The Slave Power did.

I don’t think Daniels was trying to summarize an entire war and its roots in one sentence.

[Zionist Conspirator]

I don’t think Daniels was trying to summarize an entire war and its roots in one sentence.

There are a zillion ways he could have summed up Abraham Lincoln and his courage. He chose to say that Lincoln pushed the country into a Civil War--despite the fact that the cotton states seceded before the man was even inaugurated and that the Confederacy fired first.

It was a backhanded jab at Lincoln. Shame on Charlie for that.

I don't agree. I think the words he wrote above are highly complimentary.

However complimentary they were intended, they aren't true. Lincoln did not push this country into a civil war. The slave power and secessionists did.

Perhaps he meant that it took courage to rouse the country and prosecute the war after it had begun. If so he chose the wrong words.

[xzins]

We’re going to disagree on this one. I think it did take a push by Lincoln to preserve the union.

I’m not sure now that it was the right move for the right reason. It might have been the wrong move for the right reason.

But all of a sudden we’re debating the Civil War instead of Charlie Daniel’s message which is distracted from.

I think I’ll get back to that. Feel free to have the last word on this side discussion.

[Zionist Conspirator]

We’re going to disagree on this one. I think it did take a push by Lincoln to preserve the union.

We're talking right past one another. Lincoln did push to preserve the Union. He did not provoke or start the Civil War. Seven states seceded before the man was even in office; how in the world did he "push" anything???

[xzins]

Part of Daniel’s ending is: Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.

Amen.

Bone-head and McCon-job both need to be sent home. Gutless, spineless roaches.
