Why We Speak Up

I have a friend who has a real cool blog - http://victory-garden.blogspot.com/. This blog speaks up for what America is and stands for. The guy who does this blog is in my opinion the ultimate patriotic American. He stands for all that is good and right in this country. Sadly though, I have found that he is the minority. 50 years ago, 30 years ago, perhaps even 20 years ago, this guy was the majority in this country. Where have they all gone????

I look around this nation today and it sickens me to see the extent to which this nation has sunk on all levels. For the first time in our history, we may elect a President that is just as socialistic as the Communists of the old Soviet days. Our society wants God out of everything. And we wonder where morality is today?

If you care for this country. Follow his blog. Educate yourself on the issues. Know what you believe. Put your faith and trust back in God. Relearn what the Founding Fathers wrote.

Now I know my friend will at times become discouraged as the Liberal Socialistic Tidal Wave continues to engulf our society. But I will continue to encourage him and now encourage anyone reading this with the following.

In Germany, they first came for the communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Catholic. Then they came for me -- and by that time there was nobody left to speak up.
