From the beginning of time the constant struggle between good and evil can be explained by Mr. Burke's observation. Pick any century, civilization or empire and you will find time and time again the number of good people greatly outweighing the number of evil people. But more often than not the numbers don't determine the outcome. What does make a difference, however, is whether those who claim to be good men are willing to stand up and fight for what they know to be right.
How does this happen? Is it a crowd mentality or are people really that easily lead or mislead?
I don’t know what the answer is, but I see it happening right now, this second in the United States of America. I don’t know when it started. Maybe Roe v Wade. Maybe the so-called separation of Church & State. I don’t know. What I do know is that the Constitution, the conservative ideals this Nation was founded on and even our God given rights are under a vicious attack. And ‘good men’ are silently standing by and watching it happen.
We turn our heads because we are afraid. Were afraid of what they will say about us. We criticize the President and we’re racist. We attend a Tea Party rally and we’re ultra conservative right wing nuts. We bear arms and we’re potential domestic terrorists. We support the institution of marriage and we’re bigots. We support a pro-active war on terror and we’re warmongers. We worship in public and we’re criminals. We try and guard our borders and remove those here illegally and we’re Nazis.
Don’t kid yourself. Battle lines have been drawn. Think that’s over the top? Think again. One day you might wake up and not recognize where you are. I guarantee you our Founding Fathers wouldn’t recognize it today. Could you even imagine what John Adams or George Washington would say? They would be put in jail for it, I promise you that.
So what do you do? Its simple; Stop turning your head and stop apologizing. Take a stand whenever the opportunity arises. Speak out. Don’t be afraid of what people will say. Support conservative leaders. Open your eyes and ears and spread the word. Stay informed. Never shut up. More is at stake that you could ever imagine.
I’m done turning my head. I’m done apologizing. So should you.
