Many years from now, after we all here are very much dead and gone from this physical living we do, history will judge our resolve to be Americans during these trying times.

Our forefather who laid the foundations of this great nation with the moorings that have connected a people to its government are now the same moorings in jeopardy of collapse.

That which has stood for over 225 years on the humblest of spiritual concepts…. of Life, Liberty and The Pursuit of Happiness are the basic guarantees of a government to a people, and those basic necessities are to be said God given… these guarantees provide a nation with a path that demands that personal freedoms not servitude will build ideals of higher standards.

Yet, when we are tested and asked too find these moorings, we rely on the need for our excesses, wanting to further feed our gluttony… and looking more and more as an ungrateful people that rather ask for more rather than do with a bit less.

It is the foundation, the moorings that we as Americans have built the most envied, powerful, prosperous, and giving nation on the face of the earth that we have responded time after time, giving precious lives in the defense of freedom throughout the world and far less valuable riches to a struggling world in need.

And now, now in a moment in history where American determination and resolve can once again be the guiding force that a weary world looks too for inspiration, we turn our backs on our forefathers and embrace a flawed form of governance that our founders clearly would have never envisioned as the end results of their revolutionary stance.

There have been many times in our past that our resolve to be a free nation have been tested and in each of these moments it was not America and her lack of ability to seek and demand a resolution that was rooted in American ideals and values.

In America, we have come to know phases like; a stitch in time saves nine… a penny saved is a penny earned, but these time old axioms are no longer seen for the common sense words of fore fathers like Benjamin Franklin, that would suggest that prudence and forethought be used when casting ones net to the waters. We would rather make ourselves believe that the feast is never ending and better yet, never to be paid for.

There will never be a chance like this for us as Americans to lead the way we know how to and validate to the world that those that would attempt to hurt us are the same ones that have made us stronger and too the weak that need a helping hand we are there to lend one. This is not the time to turn our backs on our proud history.
