A Nation in Passing

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Reality dictates that this shall all, someday, pass away.  As with Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, the Anglo-Saxon society of England, and every other great civilization that has ever graced the soil of Earth, America, too, will become a part of history.  Eventually, even the Earth will become no more.  Our lives, however, do not inhabit those worlds of the future, but this place in this time.  It is for us to defend what is right, and to preserve what is godly.

In discussions with today's politically informed, a common topic is the shadow government.  We are not in control, they say.  The Illuminati, or the Bildergergers, are making the decisions.  Unseen puppeteers guide the boom and bust cycles.  The international bankers dictate the economies of the world.  Global conspirators wielding black briefcases, followed by black helicopters, are the ones that really are in control.

That may be.  I do not deny the possibility of all of that being true.  Corporatism and international bankers definitely play a role in what we are fighting against.  But we must understand two realities.  They can be defeated because for one, they are only men, and two, with God all things are possible.

The real question is how close to rock bottom must we be before people realize this madness affects them, too?  How long before we are joined by the masses in our fight against statism?

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Groups are now being targeted in America.  Christians are being sued, and ridiculed into silence, because they dare to oppose the homosexual agenda.  The IRS has targeted conservative and TEA Party groups, as has the NSA.  Veterans, and conservative-minded individuals are being labeled as having mental health issues so that the government can disarm them.  If you dare oppose the ruling party of liberal leftists, you are targeted, and forced into silence.  Senator Diane Feinstein recently said that your freedom of speech is not a right, but a special privilege.  They are tolerant of you as long as you agree with them.

It is time to speak out, or there will be no on left to speak for you.
