Redefining Our Nation

Let me start off by saying that I love America. I am thankful for our country, but I hate the way our country is going, and I am scared to see how it will end up. I am so proud of our country's rich heritage, but I am disgusted at what the government has turned our nation into. I am appreciative of the vision and hardwork of our founding fathers and brave soldiers, but I am angered by the corruption our negligence and ignorance has allowed into the nation.
At the founding of our great country, the citizens knew what values they cherished and were willing to die fighting to create a nation under God with the promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all who desired it. They fought against oppresive rulers and government that wanted to trample their freedoms. We were given a great gift in this country. But what has become of it? I believe our founding fathers would not be able to recognize the country they founded if they were able to see it today.
Government has become way bigger than the Constitution intended. It seems as the years go on, the only answer politicians can give is more government, more government, more government. In a very subtle way, the government has been able to gain more and more power than our democracy should have allowed. In the name of "freedom" and "change", government only deceives us into handing over our once precious rights. The nation today is full of people who look to the government to be their savior. Everytime politicians promise more help and more changes, notice these changes don't tell government to get off our backs. Instead, they add on another way for us to become dependent on the government. The foundig fathers designed our government to have as litle role in our lives as possible...but look at how that has changed. The Bill of Rights was meant to protect us from the government. And what do we do? We oohhh and aahhh over Senator Obama who would like to create a second Bill of Rights--this one for the government. He believes the Constitution is flawed and seeks ways to give government more power. If this had been the case during the Revolution, we would have thrown Obama into the harbor along with the British tea. (no offense) But look how our citizens have been brainwashed...we cheer when someone like Obama laughs in the face of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Slowly but surely America is being redefined. Not only the politics, but look at our country's morality as well. What morality, you might ask? That's a good question, because there are little or no morals left in America today. Our nation is changing what people have always valued as sacred. They are taking our sacred covenants and blessings, and stomping on them.
Take the sacred covenant of marriage. People are fighting with everything they have to change the traditional view of marriage between one man and one woman. They want to change it to whatever they want it to be. As Gov. Huckabee stated, if marriage means anything...then it means nothing. What does our government want to change the definition of marriage to? Who knows. First...a man and a man, then ...a woman and a woman, then...a man and two women, then...a man and his daughter, then...if we are lucky I am sure people who practice beastiality will be allowed to marry their dog...or horse...Please don't be offended by that. It is true, some people practice that, and I am sure they would like "equal rights" as well. If we are going to change the definition of marriage for some people, we would have to be fair and change it for all variations. Right? See where this path leads? Anywhere. And anywhere is a scary word.
Besides marriage, another sacred blessing government has sought to redefine is life and the value of life. True, we want equal rights, but when these rights involve shedding innocent blood, we have infringed on another's right....the right to life. Has government come to the aid f the country's most helpless and exploited citizens? No. Instead, it makes it easier and legal for millions of babies to be murdered inside the womb. Why? Because we have redefined life. See what's happening here? We don't like the definition of marriage, so we seek to change it. We don't like the definition of life, so we change it. Now we can marry our same sex friends and kill our unborn children (and according to Obama...our born children as well). Oh the sweet freedoms America offers. How far we have strayed from God's truth. God has blessed this nation for over 200 years. You can see His sovereign hand guiding the prosperity of this young nation. He has not changed. I believe God still blesses this land. But for how long? How long will He watch His standards mocked and His precious creations murdered? How long will He bless a nation that kicks Him out of their government? The answer is....I don't know. I believe this nation still has millions of God fearing people in it who value freedom and honor God. God promised Abraham that He would not destroy Sodom and Gomorrah if only 10 godly people lived there. I hope He continues to show this mercy to America as well.
I hope one day soon, preferably before Tuesday's election, the concerned citizens would get off the sidelines and make a stand for our cherished values and freedoms. Stop being fed everything these politicians want you to swallow. Remember the principles this country was built upon. What we need is a spiritual Revolution in America. Hopefully then we will once again be...one nation under God.
