We might take time this Memorial Day to reflect on why it is that people died so that Americans could remain free, because It seems to me, that we are rapidly losing the freedoms that all these men fought and died for. Statist Marxists enemies of individual freedoms took over our universities, corporations and most media and armed with their godless socialist worldview they began brainwashing the people and they have put America on a downward spiral toward it’s destruction. We must restore America to the Judea Christian values that these men fought and died for, or God will not bless the USA. We can now stand up and “defend her still today”,<\/strong> like Lee Greenwood says in his song (below), or we can lose this Republic to these moral relativists and humanistic collectivists.<\/p>\n

There once was a time in America when men had decent paying\u00a0 jobs and women did not have to work and people could afford the gas to drive to see their extended families on Memorial Day. Today many men can’t find a good job and women have to work. People often have to work on weekends so extended families have a hard time ever getting together anymore. The reason why the jobs are gone is because we Americans have elected professional politicians instead of representatives and most are now bought and paid for by elite globalists, big corporations and collectivist special interest groups. The American people apparently are no wiser, even after these politicians passed laws that shipped their jobs overseas they still reelect the same professional politicians. As the professional politicians make America a godless collectivist plantation where all will be slaves of the state, and their lives run by bureaucratic overseers, the American people keep reelecting them for the promise of more straw.<\/p>\n

The high paying blue collar jobs that we once had are now mostly all gone because the politician prostitutes shipped your jobs first to Japan and Mexico and then to China and India and that is why you cannot find a good job and it is why your wife has to work. You can’t afford the gas to visit anyone on Memorial Day because elitist collectivist and globalist special interests and their many tax-free foundations own your politicians and they are limiting energy development in the guise of environmentalism. The media these elitists control brainwash the people and tax-free foundations and government bureaucracies are stuffed with environmental wackos and Gaia worshipers. The goal they tell you, is to limit carbon to protect the environment, but the actual reason for the carbon lie is to bring about statist collectivist big brother government controls over everyone. Is this the American Republic our founders envisioned and that our men died to keep?<\/p>\n

Memorial Day is a day for reflection on those that died so we could keep our way of life and keep our freedoms and our Republic. We will be singing the song below in my church but I wonder how long I will still be able to sing the words anymore? How long will most Americans even care about such words and care that we are rapidly losing the freedoms that these men died for? Who will be willing to fight and die for the cause of our freedom in our future? Like is often said, freedom is not free. After the last couple of decades and especially the last few years I am not optimistic that America will be free in the future. Already she is not as free as she once was because many are willing to give up individual freedom for a false promise of\u00a0 government security and for the false hope of socialist collectivism. Many Americans are oblivious to the Statist Marxist agenda being carried out from within. Or perhaps, they themselves have already become indoctrinated in the lies and become brainwashed slaves of the Orwellian collectivism that will bring the death of individualism and individual freedoms. I think there needs to be a national reflection on the words in Greenwood’s song on this Memorial day.<\/p>\n

Artist: Lee Greenwood <\/strong>
\n Song: Proud To Be An American<\/strong><\/p>\n

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
\nI\u2019d worked for all my life.
\nAnd I had to start again,
\nwith just my children and my wife.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d thank my lucky stars,
\nto be livin here today.
\n\u2018 Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
\nand they can\u2019t take that away.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m proud to be an American,
\nwhere at least I know I\u2019m free.
\nAnd I wont forget the men who died,
\nwho gave that right to me.<\/p>\n

And I gladly stand up,
\nnext to you and defend her still today.
\n\u2018 Cause there ain\u2019t no doubt I love this land,
\nGod bless the USA.<\/p>\n

From the lakes of Minnesota,
\nto the hills of Tennessee.
\nAcross the plains of Texas,
\nFrom sea to shining sea.<\/p>\n

From Detroit down to Houston,
\nand New York to L.A.
\nWell there’s pride in every American heart,
\nand its time we stand and say.<\/p>\n

That I\u2019m proud to be an American,
\nwhere at least I know I\u2019m free.
\nAnd I wont forget the men who died,
\nwho gave that right to me.<\/p>\n

And I gladly stand up,
\nnext to you and defend her still today.
\n\u2018 Cause there ain\u2019t no doubt I love this land,
\nGod bless the USA.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m proud to be and American,
\nwhere at least I know I\u2019m free.
\nAnd I wont forget the men who died,
\nwho gave that right to me.<\/p>\n

And I gladly stand up,
\nnext to you and defend her still today.
\n\u2018 Cause there ain\u2019t no doubt I love this land,
\nGod bless the USA.<\/p>\n

Reflect on what Greenwood actually says in his song. In the first stanza with the recent tornadoes and floods some people in the heartland will have to start all over again.<\/p>\n

In the second stanza the flag might still stand for freedom but they can and they are taking that away.<\/p>\n

In the third stanza if we will not keep what these men died for we have already forgotten those that died so that we can be free.<\/p>\n

In the fourth stanza will you really gladly stand up and defender her still today?<\/p>\n

Now can you sing the rest of the song and really mean it? or is it just lip service to a land and people who are already dead and gone?<\/p>\n

Will God bless the USA if the majority in America departed from any acknowledgement that He exists?<\/p>\n

Will God Bless America when the people allow the spirit of antichrist to prevail along with moral injustice and debauchery?<\/p>\n

God exalts nations and He also casts them down when the people of the nation permit all ungodliness to prevail. We as a nation had better repent and this Memorial Day would be a good day to start and remember how far we have fallen or we may join those who fought and died for us much sooner than we would like.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
