The
difference between our grandparents generation – The Greatest Generation who fought
off tyranny abroad and OUR generation which must fight off tyranny ON OUR
SHORES is our grandparents had the draft and our country was led by individuals,
who while progressive, were unwilling to see evil triumph.
Our
generation will not face a draft. We
will not be REQUIRED to serve. We must
individually recognize that evil is triumphing within our borders, and WE MUST
INDIVIDUALLY decide, will we stand up and do something, or will we remain
silent?
Is our
heritage, our values and our way of life so important that we will decide
OURSELVES to do everything we can to prevent its demise. Or are we so complacent, so in love with our
things, our personal time, our vacations, our sports “brackets”, and watching “Desperate
Housewives” and reality T.V. that we will not invest the time required to turn
the evil tide in our society.
“Silence in
the face of evil is evil. God will not
hold us blameless. Not to speak is to
speak. Not to act is to act.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The good
news is: history shows it only takes 20 % of society to chart a new
course. The radicals which control our
academia, our media and our government at all levels are a far smaller
minority. It only takes 20 % - “an irate,
tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men” who
will turn the tide of history.
Where will
we as individuals sit, with the 5 – 10 % of the population who are radical
leftists, will we help grow the freedom lovers who will invest their time and
resources for the cause of liberty to 20 %, or will we stay with the 70 – 75 %
who remain silent?
There will be no draft. The choice is yours. Kind of like God’s Grace – he provides us a choice – and does not mandate the Liberty of His Grace. Also, kind of like God’s Grace – there will be consequences for our action or inaction.
