In the end, that is the only way for right to be advanced IMHO...we have been living for many, many years on the sacrifice of those who went before who were willing.
The time may soon be coming when it will be our turn to either show that commitment...or lose our liberty and way of life. Things like this make me believe that the time is more nearly upon us than most imagine.
Well spoken. Among the things making it hard to carry the torches of goodness and freedom, are the numbness people feel for the blessings of these things. We've GOT to take action against the evils of our time, to preserve what we have before it is too late.
We (we in the generic sense) have become unattached and disaffected. What could be worse than September 11, after all? What could be worse than any number of the things we have seen? We are a hodgepodge of slow boiled frogs; liquid comprised of our daily lives and all the lazy trappings in; heat provided courtesy of calculating politicians and anti-moralists with their agendas that grow more hideous with each generation. When I step back, then back in, I can’t believe this is happening. But then I can believe it: We’ve been on a complacent slow boil for some time and it's trending downward. This is where we've been, where we're at and the direction we are going.
However, I (like you) believe that soon “it will be our turn to either show that commitment...or lose our liberty and way of life… the time is more nearly upon us than most imagine.” You are right, and I believe we will win.
