Today, the way our Federal Government is providing for the care and treatment of the Veterans of our military who have fought and served this nation with honor is disgraceful and dispicable. As we approach Memorial Day, a Day where we honor the men and women who gave their lives in the defense of this nation's rights as outlined in the Constitution interpreted the way our founders intended, as a retired Officer who served in the Army and the U.S. Air Force, I am deeply offended, angered, and hurt as I see what the state of our Federal Government is today and its attitude towards the military and veterans.
Memorial Day, to me, is the most
sacred of all U.S. Federal Holiday other than Christmas or Easter. It should be a day spent
being grateful that as an American, we are privileged to live in the only
nation in world history where a person is free to worship God in public whether
they are Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, or any other religion. Yet thanks to misguided liberals, congressmen, senators, and Supreme Court Justices today, I feel like our Government has allowed Memorial Day to become a day which disgraces the memory of all who have died in the service of our nation's armed forces defending its Constitution. If the liberals in Congress, the ACLU and other evil,
misguided anti-religious groups get their way, pretty soon, the only way we
will be able to shout the name of God is inside church walls, as long as we do
not quote God’s laws against homosexuality, gay marriage, or this politically
correctness trend where we cannot say anything that might hurt somebody’s
feelings.
But that is not the way the nation was
originally brought into being. Our
forefathers fought a revolution to build a different type of nation; one built on Christian principles where
its citizens were free to worship the God of the Bible; e.g., Jehovah, Yahweh,
Elohim, Adonai, El Shaddai, and many other names, as they wished. But you do not have to believe me; read what
the founding fathers said and did about their feelings about religion and
worshipping or studying God and how that integrated into government:
·
The
Federal Government actually held church in the Capital building starting in
1800 and it continued until well after the War
·
“The
real object of the [First Amendment] was not to countenance, much less to
advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity,
but to exclude all rivalry among Christian sects” – Justice Joseph Story, U. S.
Supreme Court 1811-1845
·
“What
is an establishment of religion…It [religion] must be considered as the
foundation on which the whole structure rests….In this age there can be no
substitute for Christianity; that, in its general principles, is the great
conservative element on which we must rely for the purity and permanence of
free institutions. That was the religion
of the founders of the republic, and they expected it to remain the religion of
their descendants.” U. S. House
Judiciary Committee of 1853-1855
·
“…The
general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were …the general
principles of Christianity….Now I will avow that I then believed, and now
believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and
immutable as the existence and attributes of God….I could therefore safely say,
consistently with all my then and present information, that I believed they
would never make discoveries in contradiction to those general principles.”
Former President John Adams in a letter to former President Thomas Jefferson
June 28, 1813
·
“Three
points of doctrine, the belief of which, forms the foundation of all
morality. The first is the existence of
a God; the second is the immorality of the human soul; and the third is a
future state of rewards and punishments…. Suppose it possible for a man to
disbelieve either of these articles of faith and that man will have no
conscience…the laws of man may bind him in chains or may put him to death, but
they can never make him wise, virtuous, or happy.” Letter from 3rd
President John Quincy Adams to his son
·
“We
have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions
unbridled by morality and religion….Our Constitution was made only for a moral
and religious people. It is wholly
inadequate to the government of any others” John Adams, 2nd
President of the USA

President
Franklin Delanor Roosevelt issued a Bible to soldiers during World War II. On the inside cover, he wrote:"To the Armed Forces: As Commander-in-Chief, I take
pleasure in commending the reading of the Bible to all who serve in the armed
forces of the United States. Throughout the centuries men of many faiths and
diverse origins have found in the Sacred Book words of wisdom, counsel and
inspiration. It is a fountain of strength and now, as always, an aid in
attaining the highest aspirations of the human soul."
The U.S. Supreme court, beginning in
the 1940’s arbitrarily injected a gross misinterpretation of the intent of the
founders of our nation by taking a phrase from a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote
to a group of Baptists that he was trying to convince that he had no intention
of allowing any Christian sect to be named the official “religion” of the
nation. In that letter he introduced a
clause known as the Separation of Church and State which has driven American
down a path undreamed of by the founders, and on a path that will inevitably
lead to its decimation as the greatest nation the earth has ever seen.
The founding fathers all believed
that America came into being and won its freedom in a revolution that was
God-ordained and God-determined as to outcome.
The founders, as they wrote the Constitution, prayed before every major
decision regarding a point to be or not to be included in that document. Their original intent was for the Bible to be
taught in public schools; it was the most prevalent book of its time, and as
such, the leaders expected it to be used to teach everything from reading to
good morals.
Yet, the U.S. Supreme Court
systematically started destroying what our founding fathers envisioned as the
proper role in government by injecting their liberal desires to create a super
Federal Government and decimate State’s Rights that the founders blatantly
states was something that they all dreaded and warned Americans was inevitable
if the citizens of the USA lost their fear of big government and their zeal to
protect the State’s rights to govern their citizens.
As a soldier who fought for this
nation in two foreign campaigns, I deeply resent the intentional efforts of
liberals to destroy the nation that our founders envisioned as they gave birth
to it. I deeply resent how all liberals and most other politicians
today are nothing but hypocrits, power-hungry, lying, individuals that ought to be put
in front of a firing squad or sent to prison for life for treason against the Constitution. And, probably worst, I absolutely detest what
the U.S. Supreme Court has become, e.g., nothing more than a political tool for
the parties that they are nominated by, and who have totally ignored the
intention of the writers of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as they
reshaped this nation’s morals, freedoms of religions, speech, and protections
from the Government that they are supposed to protect the citizens from.
Thomas Jefferson once said:” I hold
it that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in
the political world as storms in the physical. It is a medicine necessary for
the sound health of government.” and “The tree of liberty must be refreshed
from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural
manure.” All I would say is “AMEN”. Every soldier that values the freedoms as
established by the Constitution as originally intended when written should be
absolutely infuriated that the politicians are doing nothing but try to localize their own power and destroy the Bill of
Rights. In my opinion, they are traitors
and are worthy only of being tarred, feathered, disgraced, and imprisoned for
treason. Their hypocrisy is
unbelievable; they can send a citizen to jail for lying to Congress, but they
systematically lie to the American Public without fear of any type of
punishment.
I would pray that this Memorial Day,
every Veteran that has fought for this country, in honor of every soldier that
has died to protect and defend the Constitution contact their elected Representatives
in the U.S. House of Representatives and
the U.S. Senate and vent their outrage over the way that our Federal Government
is treating our Constitution, and disrespecting and killing the veterans that
have fought for our nation.
Remember…evil grows and wins when
good people stand by and do nothing.
Veterans have already stood on the line.
It is now the duty of the citizens of the USA to stand up and protect
the rights of American Citizens as intended by the writers of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and care for the veterans in honor of the ultimate sacrifices we
honor on Memorial Day.
