Stressful Times: The Front Porch
Stressful times straight from the " Front Porch":
Tonight's " Front Porch " is a little different. I normally don't post too much on what some would call "political matters", but tonight if you will indulge me, I will post on "distressful matters". This may not be a popular post but I feel it needs to be said.
So here we go:
When was the last time you looked at the Constitution? For me, I'll be honest, it was 4th grade as I watched "School House Rock" sing the preamble and 11th grade as I listened to my teacher Carl Richardson talk about it before he had to leave to go to the airport to pick up a body. ( He was a mortician and a school teacher!). That was over 40 years ago. Oh I'll admit through the years, I felt it didn't concern me. I was young, about 50 pounds lighter and thought I didn't have a care in the world....those were the " good old days".
My how things have changed. Fast forward to the twenty-first century and things have gone down hill so fast that it has set my head in a spin. Crops are being plowed under, inflation at an all- time high, people having to decide between gas to get to work or groceries to fill their bellies on and the decision between meals or medicine for most seniors. It's the truth....this country is in a mess and we as a whole are in severe distress.
The one other thing that has remained constant? Politicians ( ON BOTH SIDES ) have taken to their seats in Washington and never let go. Pockets are padded and bills that are lobbied for are full of so much junk that when a final vote comes through for a 900 page novel, most of the people WE VOTED FOR don't even realize what all they have put into place. Notice I said MOST.
There are a few who fight for the common man and for those men and women I am forever grateful.
There are also the elites ( on both sides mind you ) who have ONE agenda and are at this moment successfully putting it in place...THEIR AGENDA IS TO COLLAPSE THE UNITED STATES ON TOP OF THE PEOPLE THAT HELPED BUILD IT
THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS IF WE ONCE AGAIN BECOME UNITED...
WE WILL FALL FROM WITHIN IF WE DONT COME TOGETHER...
Our foundation for this country was established on our faith. Let's get back to God! The soldiers who have fought for our freedoms will have died in vain should we let this great country cross over into communism. It's time to take a stand...let your voice be heard!
You know I worked for the airlines on September 12, 2001. It was by far one of the most beautiful days I have ever seen. America was UNIFIED. Race, political party and denominations were dropped as we came together...From fear and tyranny we found our feet and stood our ground..
Long ago, our forefathers did the same thing...they wrote it out in our Constitution.I believe it's about time to do it again...
Prayers to all as we stand from " The Front Porch"
THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
In Congress, July 4, 1776
THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION
of the
THIRTEEN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.--That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.....
