We Stand at the Crossroads of History

July 1, 2005 by element115
This weekend we celebrate the Fourth of July. A holiday that commemorates our proud history, founded on freedom, paid for with the honorable blood of patriots throughout our time. From the Revolution through the Civil War Americans always stood up for what was right, through protecting the individual liberties of all. In the 20th century, Americans rose to the challenges of oppression facing the world on more than one occasion. Respect was earned and deserved. Every time we faced a crossroads, we answered the challenge and took the right path regardless of the difficulty.

The 21st century does not reflect so kindly upon this heritage. It has been spoiled by people who wrap themselves in the flag but only represent greed. That tragic fact that blood has to be spilled to feed this greed is not relevant to them. They claim the mantle of Christianity, but do not represent the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace. They come under a banner that reads, ?Culture of Life? while embracing the politics of death. We walk around every day trying to be politically correct. You don?t say the president lied; you say his statements were not borne out to be factually accurate. You don?t say that the president lied to go to war; you say the intelligence was poor. Everyone dances around the truth, afraid to confront the fact that the enemy is thyself.
