Of the Two Roads, Let Us Take the Higher
Becki at the Kerry Fairy posts some important questions:
Will we choose to rule ourselves, or let the U.N. rule us?
-Will we choose to win, or to surrender to our enemies?
-Will we choose life or death for the unborn and the unperfect?
-Will we choose our own religions, or will the state be our religion?
-Will we choose to follow our constitution, or rewrite the constitution?
-Will we choose to remain a democracy, or will we choose a ruling class?
-Will we choose our families, or will the government choose societies?
-Will we be Americans, or will we be globalists?
These are questions we need to think about, and HARD!
After seeing how European countries used the women and children of Iraq to line their purses, and how the UN made it possible, and how the UN is using Hamas members in their Gaza operations, and many other things, I have less and less faith in the ability of the UN to be anything like the noble dream they were intended to be.
There is that old hokey from Superman - Truth, Justice, and the American Way. I for one, even knowing how imperfect we are, want to do what I can to uphold truth, encourage justice, and see that these are core to the American way. If I turn my back and compromise with the dark, then I have besmirched that honor, muddied that reaching for the star of truth, and I don't want to live that way. Hokey it may be, but it is something to build a life around, not like gaining riches from starving women and children.
