One day of the year has been chosen to reflect on the American veteran. Likely for many, this is merely a symbolic gesture that may briefly stir up feelings of appreciation or patriotism, but as quickly as the thoughts and feelings come, they are met with an acknowledgement of inadequacies and abilities to properly honor the veterans of wars, conflicts, and guardian service to our nation. Perhaps honor can best be bestowed upon the veteran by our own effort to continue their work and sacrifice in whatever capacity we have been given.

The very existence of America is a miracle of God, and when we honor the veteran by mirroring their service, we also honor God to whom our country was dedicated even before its establishment. In 1607 the Jamestown settlers planted a cross on the shore of the new land and made this covenant dedication:

“We do hereby dedicate this Land, and ourselves, to reach the People within these shores with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to raise up Godly generations after us, and with these generations take the Kingdom of God to all the earth. May this Covenant of Dedication remain to all generations, as long as this earth remains… May all who see this cross, remember what we have done here, and may those who come here to inhabit join us in this Covenant…”

In confirmation of the Jamestown Dedication, thirteen years later those aboard the Mayflower made a compact which states, “Having undertaken, for the Glory of God, and advancements of the Christian faith and honor of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the Northern parts of Virginia…”

Many years later the United States of America was established by God through the blood, lives and treasure of the first Americans on the battlefield and at the home front. Rising up against their oppressors they were granted victory, and through wisdom in governing principles we were given a land of freedom, peace, prosperity and protection.

Since that time, many Americans have become veterans of many wars, conflicts, and of guarding our nation. Now America has an enemy unlike any that it has ever faced. This one wears a thin patriotic disguise and occupies high places in our government and other influential positions. It is a greater threat to America than any in the past and requires the mass self-deployment of true patriots that will take their stand in whatever capacity that they are capable. Just as our veterans have paid a price for the freedom that is a hallmark for our nation, those of us who have enjoyed this freedom must also pay a price to maintain and regain it.

As a nation, we have not been faithful to the Covenant Dedication that marked the beginning of a noble heritage. The maintenance that freedom requires has been neglected and our blessings have been taken for granted. We have veered off course and are sailing back to a land of bondage, turmoil, poverty and danger, forsaking the heritage with which we were entrusted. May God allow us to correct our course and land once again on our own Jamestown beach with renewed vigor to carry forward the charge given to every American, and in so doing we can all be called veterans in that we serve to preserve the ideals and principles that have made America a light to the world.

Much of America and the world is in a state of denial and make believe.  To many people  with great influence, right has become wrong and wrong has become right.  Maybe because it is the path of least resistance, many others who don’t necessarily agree with the reversal of right and wrong nonetheless go along with the falsehood, or at least do nothing to counter it.  It is incredible that credibility has been given to those who are obviously incredible.

This is not to say that these incredible people are amazing or extraordinary in a positive sense; far from it.  They are incredible in a most negative use of the word, meaning they lack credibility, and yet they are accepted as having valid viewpoints and behavior.  There are various examples of this phenomenon.  One of the most blatant is the acceptance of transvestism and the idea that one can choose his or her gender, even to the point of surgically altering his or her body.  Until recently, those confused about whether they are male or female were helped to overcome their confusion.  Now they are encouraged to stay confused and to pretend to be the opposite sex that they were born.  They are even voted into public office or are party candidates.  Click below for more on this:

Another example of the make believe phenomenon is socialism.  Although variations of this form of government have been tried time and again in an assortment of countries, it always results in death and destruction; if not by violent totalitarian tactics, then by the results of taking from some to give to others.   Socialists tout free health care, free education, free housing, free this, that, and the other.  These “free” items are very costly to those who are actually trying to make a living.  Their cost is obvious when they see their pay stub tax with-holdings amount.  Such taking and giving leads to fewer employment opportunities because there is less capital left for individuals to create businesses, deficient healthcare due to system overrun and red tape,  and other harm inflicted upon individuals and families because of loss of freedom, income, and government interference.  Still, today it is being promoted by many who are under the pretend delusion.

Then there is the torture and killing of babies in their mothers’ wombs, and the selling of the babies’ body parts.  How can anyone with any sense of compassion and regard for the life of another human being give credence to such barbarity?

The military is another area of pretend.  Throughout all of history it has been known that a strong military is vital to a strong country.  Yet many in positions of influence play like we can weaken our armed forces and remain secure as a nation.  They have closed military bases, and let equipment fall into short supply and disrepair.

Incredibly, they want to allow men who think they are women and women who think they are men to serve in the armed forces and actually let them carry arms, while at the same time they call for better background checks for civilians because those with mental problems might be buying weapons.

They also allow known enemies to serve in the military, resulting in the death and injury of numerous troops.

The country’s border is another sector of the Left’s fantasy land.  To them, there is no border.  They would and have allowed any and all to flow freely into the country.  Besides the crime of illegal entry, many commit other crimes which are often violent, and partake of generous handouts of taxpayers’ money and citizens’ jobs.  The Left has no regard for the American ideal which draws so many.  This ideal dissipates with each immigrant that enters illegally, and with each one that has no intention of assimilating to American customs and beliefs.

Financial fantasy guides the Left when determining what to do with other people’s money.  The more they can take from others to put in their own pockets, waste, or hand over to others, the more they like it.  In their consideration, taxing, borrowing, and printing money, which are the only ways government obtains money, should be done in ever increasing amounts.  Outside of their fantasy this results in less freedom and fractured families because of financial failure.  Prices go up and income goes down, then through tax-funded Leftist programs, people are propped up financially and become dependent on the government which then requires more of other people’s money to prop more people up.  The cycle continues until all the people run out of money, then the government (those who had siphoned off plenty of the money while it was available) and those who do their bidding take over completely and there is no longer freedom but only slavery.

How are those who are in favor of such nonsense given any credibility at all?  For the most part, these are supposed to be intelligent adults.  There are two types of people here.  Those who actually think that such nonsense is a good idea, and those who know that it is a path to the failure of a free nation.  The former are deceived and the latter are deceivers that desire control of people and possession of what is not theirs.  They must be stopped.

The people of the United States have allowed their Constitution to be, for all intents and purposes, rewritten.  This document, along with the Declaration of Independence, outlines our form of government as well as reiterates the rights given to man by his Creator.  As its preamble states, it was ordained and established to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.  The Constitution is plain and easy to understand, but has basically been disregarded and dismantled to the point that now its application is a far cry from what it actually conveys.  Our now second-rate Second Amendment is one example.

The Second Amendment declares, “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”  This has come to mean that a free state is not that important, the people can be told who can keep and bear arms, how many and what kind of arms they can keep, and when and where they can bear them.  The part about “shall not be infringed” has been thrown out the window.  The keeping and bearing of arms is to provide “the security of a free state”, and since every citizen is part of a “state”, this means the security of the individual and the state.  The keeping and bearing of arms has come to be thought by many to be a danger to security.  “Gun free zones”, or at least gun limited zones (these can be called “infringement zones”), have been established in schools, churches, and other places, as if this will keep dangerous criminals from using guns in these areas.  It doesn’t take a genius to realize that if someone or some group wants to kill or harm people, they will likely choose a place where they will receive little to no resistance, such as in an “infringement zone”.

Sadly, there are those who claim to advocate the Second Amendment while opposing the intention of it to allow all the right to protect themselves.  Even Jesus told his disciples to arm themselves, and didn’t tell them to get a permit first:  “…if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.” (Luke 22:36)  Evidently, Jesus endorsed the right to keep and bear arms.  Indeed, this right along with others was given to us by Jesus.  The Declaration of Independence makes this clear when stating that we are endowed by our Creator with the right to life and liberty.  Since we have been given these rights we have the right to defend them.  Nowhere in the Bible, the Declaration of Independence, or the Constitution does it allow for a law abiding citizen that has his mental faculties to be made defenseless at any time.  According to the Second Amendment, it is unlawful to require that a person be unarmed when entering a public place such as a courthouse, a schoolhouse, or a church house.  This is forcing a person to depend on others for his defense, or depend on there being no one who breaks the unarmed rule and causes harm.

If a person is proven unfit to “bear arms”, then that right should be taken away or limited (infringed), but infringement before being proven unfit is being assumed guilty before proven innocent.  Many if not all of the shootings that have occurred in “infringement zones” could have been mitigated or eliminated had the right to keep and bear arms not have been infringed.  Instead of avoiding guns, the purpose of guns and gun safety should be taught at home, in the schools, and in the church.  Before our government officials steered our country away from Christianity, there wasn’t much need to remain armed at all times, but until we return to that way of life, it is necessary.  A second-rate Second Amendment provides second-rate security.
