For we believe by believing and not by seeing. ~ 2 Cor. 5:7
We have just carried an election on principles fairly stated to the people. Now we are told in advance, the government shall be broken up, unless we surrender to those we have beaten, before we take the offices. In this they are either attempting to play upon us, or they are indeed earnest. Either way, if we surrender, it is the end of us, and of the government. They will repeat the experiment upon us ad libitum. ... They now have the Constitution, under which we have lived over 70 years, and acts of Congress of their own framing, with no prospect of their being changed; and they can never have a more shallow pretext for breaking up the government, or extorting a compromise, than now. ~ Abraham Lincoln, confidential letter to James T. Hale, January 11, 1861.
I have some great friends in New England, and many family members as well. We get along pretty good, until a game between a New York team and a New England team; any sport, any level. Today's Superbowl is no different. We will castigate each other for rooting for the 'losing' team, which the other team always is, regardless of the final score. But in the end, we will still be close. I don't think the same can be said about our government; or more correctly, our federally elected employees. I mean, just read the letter from Lincoln. It was written in 1861! It is uncanny how similar things are today. In fact it is down right scary. The only changes to be made in Lincolns letter to reflect our issues with the government today is to change the 70 to 221, and the date from 1861 to 2012. Everything else is as it is today. Will the progressive movement disband after the elections in November? Or will they attempt to take the government after being beaten, as Lincoln feared in 1861? I believe it's possible that something might be done after the liberal/progressive movers and shakers get shaken out of their shorts. Even more telling is that Lincoln's concern of a broken government was over slavery. JUST LIKE NOW! Then it was slavery based on race. Today, it is slavery based on political ideology. But either way it's slavery. And look at the date of writing; Jan 1861. Just before the office of president was to be exchanged. Here is where the similarities part ways. We have until November, 10 months to prepare, 10 months to prevent, 10 months to protect our Constitution, our form of government, our nation from being torn to bits. Ominous sounding, yes. Avoidable? ABSOLUTELY! Avoidable yes, because we have what wasn't available in 1861; awareness. Awareness to the fact that our Constitution is under violent attacks from the left. Awareness that We the People have been enlightened to our rights and responsibilities as citizens of the United States of America. Awareness so strong,that we believe we can preserve our great nation, our city on the hill. We believe so strongly. We do not need to see how strong we are; we know how strong we are - because we believe in al lour hearts and minds that we are strong. We the People; the first words of the greatest document to ever grace our earth, outside the ten commandments and the bible. No blaspheme here, just truth. So help me God.
We have been told in advance, the government shall be broken up, unless we surrender to those we have beaten, before we take the offices. But We the People believe that we will make historic change ourselves. We will save this great nation and the Constitution; the document that defines our principles fairly stated to the people.
By the way, isn't Mr.Lincoln an idol, or at least a source of guidance for POTUS? Yeah, I thought so.
Take care, God bless,
AND STAND WITH ISRAEL!!
