America has had a good run. Like a good horse, she has carried many heavy loads, charged into battle with great leaders, comforted the loss and forsaken, and brought greatness to its owner. Today she is Old and tired. She has been pushed beyond the breaking point on too many occasions. The people who once came to her for comfort now only have indifference and sow the seeds of malice towards her. Her coat once shined from the constant care had become dusty and unclean. The weight of burden is too much and no amount of coaxing will inspire her to win another race. There is hope she is blessed with child.
Like all great horses, breeders look for the best qualities to pass to offspring and continue the great line. No this is not royalty breeding, this is careful, intelligent and planned breeding. America was born with values and principles, bread into her from years of hardship, oppression, and tyranny. She grew strong early on by defending her values and principles, her first rider forgoing absolute ownership, instead choose the rule of law. As new rider took her reigns, she complied. Trusting her riders, one after the other. Even going so far as to allowing her to ware blinders as not to see the troubles on her left and right.
The new colt is to be born soon. This colt has the values and principles its mother has, all is lacking is a rider. A rider that remembers that the colt is not theirs it belongs to the owners. A rider that uses the reigns to guides the colt and not a tool of obedience. A rider that looks at the sunset and contemplates the pass with a focus on the sunrise. A rider who will serves the colt, brushing its coat daily, feeding it a proper diet, and allowing it to rest and recover. A rider who will promises never to allow blinders be put on the colt ever again.
My friends, I ask you to consider the challenges that face us now. There are only really two options as I fear they had in 1776, get more people to support them (elect people to positions of power) or as they did, cede from England. Are we at this point? Do we need to abolish our government and restore the Constitution and Republic? Even if we elect the right people will they be able to repeal the laws that have been created over the years that move us from a Republic to an Oligarchy (Socialism)? Can we come together as a nation of laws? Will the public understand the difference between a Democracy and a Republic?
What are your opinions? What if any are your answers? Please comment; discussion or debate is how we come to understand each other. I want to understand you.
