You do not have to watch the news for long to see that America is rapidly changing. The downward slide can be found not only in our leadership but also in the shifting definitions of right and wrong blindly accepted by many Americans today.
Our leaders would have us believe that these changing values are inevitable and that they are good. That is why they are called “progressive.”
Yet to those of us who still believe in the immortal truths upon which America was founded, their so-called “progress” is alarming, to say the least.
Sadly, some will allow this alarm to grow into defeatism. They will turn their faces away from the battle before us in hopes of finding a position to retreat to.
To those who would prefer retreat or surrender rather than the fight, I ask you one simple question:
If America falls, where will you go?
Where will you go to find another nation that provides the opportunities and individual guarantees of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
Where will you find a nation whose founding documents guarantee a government of, by and for the people?
Name a place that offers you and your family the same or more than our United States of America.
The answer is simple: There is no such place.
In spite of our downward slide, America is still the best nation on the face of the earth. This is our land, these are our people, these are our cities, neighborhoods, and streets. This is our country.
Though the battle for the soul of America is fierce before us, we cannot afford to look away in hopes of finding retreat. There will be none.
Though I may sound pessimistic, I am anything but. God enabled me to endure a yearslong campaign by the left to destroy me and my family. They wanted me to serve as an example to anyone who would defy the entrenched bureaucrats of the swamp.
Despite their best efforts, I stand before you as living proof that victory is absolutely possible.
The very fact that we are gathered here today as American citizens free to speak and peaceably assemble should fill us with hope.
But being hopeful is not a survival plan. Hope has never won a war, nor will it win peace on the home front. In this article, it is my intention today to share with you a few lessons I learned in my battle against the dark forces that still threaten our nation today.
When fighting for truth, the most important place to start is to be well-grounded in the Truth itself. I am referring to Truth with a capital T, as in “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”
