“To not act in the face of evil is evil itself.” – 2

“When the wicked rise to power, the righteous go into hiding.”- 3

When the righteous go into hiding, the wicked rise to power.

Politicians check the wind, and follow accordingly. – 4

Statesmen check the truth, and lead accordingly. – 4

“Freedom will look easy when we don’t have to die to get it.” – 5

We don’t get in that danger zone of what freedom really costs, if the only thing we think we can do is vote and peacefully protest—and now we’re even losing both.

“We pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.” – 6

Most Americans think it was different fighting to gain our freedom then, than it is to keep our freedom now – – – IT IS NOT !
We mustered the courage and called on God—and our leaders publicly declared their reliance on Divine Providence.
That is largely missing in our preachers and our leaders today, and our citizens—and that explains things.

If I have a job [if I want to keep my job], I can’t have an opinion [I can’t say my opinion].

“I have a family”—it doesn’t matter what I believe [keep it to myself]. – 7

I have to be satisfied with “freedom of worship”, not push for freedom of religion. – 8

Evolution took over public schools—nobody stopped it.

Prayer, Bible, Ten Commandments out of public schools—nobody stopped it.

People vote for people that vote to kill babies—elections have consequences.

Cities condone, support evil—evil grows bold and powerful.

Christians, churches—safe, comfortable, ineffective.
