“Our gas tank is empty and there is a combination lock on the gas cap. Government won’t release the combination. If we can’t get the gas cap off, we can’t fill the tank with fuel and our engine will never run again! Is this true?” Ron Ewart
In all of our wars and all of the difficulties we have faced as a nation in the last 235 years, if we would let a little thing like a combination lock get in the way of where we wanted to go, America would have never gotten where it is. If there was a wall, we went over it, around it, under it ….. or through it. If there was a lock in our way, we “picked it” or blew it up. If there was a frontier, we explored it. If there was a beachhead, we took it. If there was a tyrant, we pulled his teeth and rendered him impotent ….. or dead. If there was a bridge to be built, we built it. If we wanted to go into space, into space we went. Literally nothing stood in the way of Americans, when they wanted to create something, build something, stop a dictator, or get to a place where they wanted to go. We were unstoppable and contrary to popular opinion, we still are.
When a person or a nation was in need, we met that need out of the greatness, goodness and kindness of our collective hearts. Americans are the most generous people on planet earth and don’t let anyone tell you different. We could do all these things because we were not only free, but that freedom allowed us to create the wealth from which we were able to BE generous.
Which brings us to today. How is it that Americans, who not only carved out an unprecedented free society based on unalienable individual rights as a gift from our creator at a horrendous sacrifice, conquered a continent, but who also created a country of vast wealth and riches, would a let a little thing like an Obama, or a corrupt Congress, or a mis-guided judiciary that have thrown our unalienable rights and our constitution to the wolves, stand in the way of reclaiming our freedom and our Republic? Have we lost our courage to enter into a fight to prevent being enslaved? Are we so afraid of losing what we have, that we would back away from aggressively challenging those that are trying to take it away, even if those that are trying to take it away are some of our own people? Just because our enemy is a domestic one and not a foreign enemy does that preclude us from taking them on? Have we grown so timid and apathetic that we shrink in fear when a fight is thrust upon us and ladies and gentlemen, a fight is being thrust upon us like never before? It is a deadly fight between two opposing ideologies and a government that uses those opposing ideologies to divide, conquer and enslave us.
