Let Freedom Croak

Eventful week, to say the least.


America: Love It or...Deny It.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,522659,00.html

The multicultural direction this country is taking is starting to get ridiculous. At what point can a private citizen who simply loves her country, her military, and those family members of hers who have served (and are serving) in the military be told that the banner under which those family members are fighting is somehow offensive and must be stricken from the landscape?

The answer is simply this: it's the same point at which individual freedoms are rolled back in favor of multicultural preferences.

The story below is one that must be read in order to be believed...and even then you almost find yourself checking it out on snopes.com. Debbie McLucas walked into work one day, was met by her supervisor and was told that the American flag which she displays prominently at her office had to be taken down (just before Memorial Day weekend, no less) because a few of her multicultural co-workers had complained that it was offensive.

You read that right: these people denounced the very flag which stands for the country that affords them the very freedom and prosperity that they enjoy; the same country that, presumably for some of them, stands in sharp ideological contrast to the hellholes that some of them came from, thousands of miles away. And it wasn't enough for them to simply denounce the flag. In addition to that, they also managed to marginalize and threaten the freedoms that Debbie McLucas enjoys and that her family members fight for.

Where does it end? Or does it end?


Your Word Is A Lamp Unto My Feet...and a Threat to Civil Authority

On and on it goes.

A pastor in San Diego and his wife can no longer have Bible study in their home because it violates a "code" that prohibits "religious assembly" without a "major use permit."

Again, feel free to access the above link just to see for yourself, because I know it's not enough just to take my word for this bunch of nonsense. However, in my own defense, I will say that even I'm not capable of making stuff like this up. Few if any people are.

This is turning out to be one of the shorter blogs that I've done (know you're disappointed) simply because there just isn't much you can say in the face of anti-American sentiment and the overall stifling of freedom demonstrated in these two stories. It's enough to leave the most eloquent among us at a loss for words.

But just for kicks, let's assume (hypothetically, of course) that a group of Muslims wanted to study the Koran in someone's private home. You can see where I'm going with this. Does anyone honestly believe that the civic authorities would do such a thing to such a gathering? And more to the point, can anyone imagine the outcry of the international community if such a thing was done to an Islamic gathering? But it's ok to do it to Christians.

Stand up for your rights, Americans...whether you're a Christian, Muslim, Jew, agnostic, or otherwise. Dwight Eisenhower put it best when he said, "History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."

Patriot Victory

Now for some good news! :) If you're on myspace or facebook with me, you should know about this already, but I'll mention it again anyway...just as a formality. It is rather ironic that the two above stories broke this past week, concurrent with my announcement about the publication and release of my new novel Patriot Victory. It is my first novel and it is the story about a young man living in America during the year 2056; an America that any of us living today would scarcely recognize due to the secular-progressive influences that have encroached upon our way of life for so long.

I truly hope that you will purchase a copy today. My book's webpage can be accessed at www.xlibris.com/PatriotVictory. Purchasing information can be found there as well.

I say that it is ironic that the two featured stories in this week's blog broke concurrently with my book's release because much of what you read about in the context of the story I've written is what you see unfolding in these news stories. For example, in Patriot Victory the American flag is nowhere to be found on the American landscape in 2056 and Christianity is completely outlawed. Perhaps then I made a mistake when I made 2056 the setting of the story. If leftist influences have their say, real-life America may very well what you see in Patriot Victory in 2016...or sooner.

Have a great week! God bless.
