My blog title describes my cause. I have been a believer in God and his son, my savior, Jesus Christ all my life. As a second generation American, my grandfathers, have taught me well their heritage, but most importantly, they taught me the reasons they came to this country, received by Lady Liberty, choosing to live free, and form their family's future here.
With great detail and passion they outlined the history of their European homeland, and why, despite their great pride in that homeland, that America-the home of freedom-"One Nation Under God" was the only place for their future generations. It was a place where God's moral compass prevailed over the land and it's people, and the founding fathers free republic drew them here like the most powerful magnet. "God, family, and country my son, live these, teach them to your children, your childrens children, and never let those things go". America, they said, was worth our loyalty, our allegiance, and our blood when ever necessary. Do not take her God given blessings for granted-ever. They had seen in their former land the tyranny of oppression, and the results from the loss of individual freedom. They came here to insure that their children, me, and our future generations would be free of the scourge of totalitarianism, socialism, income and resource redistribution, and suppression of a persons basic rights to the fruits of their own labor. I was an American patriot born and bred.
Through my own lack of attention to the promise I made my grandfathers, over the years I have watched America slip backward toward the land they fled. I allowed it to happen through non engagement in our political process. Our founders framed our system to be a participatory government "of the people, by the people, and for the people". Now our future is under serious deadly attack from the outside and from within. I thank God I, and millions like me, have awakened to our promise to God and to Lady Liberty, and our founders, to keep America free, God's word in our lives, and in our country's sacred document; the constitution.
Grandpa fought in the US army in WWI, even though here in America for only a very short time. He and his patriots left a great nation to my father and the world. My father fought in WWII with the US Marine Corps and proudly left a great country to me. Now the mantle falls to me, now a father and granfather myself, and my generation, to fight for it again, in just as grave a battle as theirs. The victors in this battle will determine the fate of the world. Only patriots fighting for "One Nation Under God' will determine the winner.
Talk to you soon here again. God Bless America. Sincerely 912 Patriot
