Cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow,
For babies grow up, we've learned to our sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep,
I'm rocking my babies 'cause babies don't keep.

Patriotism the forgotten story.

In a land not so distant and a time that is forgotten 56 men signed a declaration of Independence. Upon signing these men and an oppressed people took up arms to fight for freedom from the tyranny that was upon them. After fighting a more sophisticated army and better trained machine, these men and the people who won victory formed a new government for the people of the people. A government that was to be governed by the people not governed by the governors. Where free election was to be held and the people's representatives would gather on a quarterly basis to create laws and if necessary to call upon it citizens for arms to defend its liberties.
When this land was but a babe an evil force came upon it and tore it into two different ideologies. One was absolute freedom of the people, the other was forced labor of another people brought to the land against their wishes. After many brutal years those who supported righteousness and freedom reined victorious. After this great conflict in this young nation an expansion of great multitude took place where people found riches after a long struggle and where some died looking for a better place to gain a dream.
This expansion continued and with it brought greatness to the young nation. After many years and many battles against other nations to protect its citizens, this young nation reached from coast to coast and was on its way to becoming a world power. In fact, many other nations envied this nation because of its success, and its accomplishments. It was as though the power of God was directing this nation and leading it to fulfillment of power and glory. As long as its people remained loyal to its Creator, nothing seemed able to stop this nation from growing.
Twice, this nation called upon its young men to fight for it, and to stop evil from overtaking the world. It became known as a liberator of millions as other nations fell to evil, waiting for this nations young men, patriots, of freedom to destroy the evil forces that befell them. Again the nation called upon its men to fight, but times changed, and the brave men who went abroad to fight to stop communism and its evil influence, were mocked and ridiculed by un-patriotic people at home.
Well, this nation, by this time matured and its people, a large portion of it began to be swoon by outside influences that were not patriotic, but anti-country, and anti-freedom. These people became leaders of this nation, and for a time were held off by those who loved nation and God. But as it was, and like many other great nations before, these people became a majority in the government and in society. Now a great struggle has been commenced, one side for the freedom that 56 men died for when they signed their names to a great document, and the other side wants to become an oppressor and lies to its people. Telling them that having the government in every major aspect of its people's lives if good, and in fact, the people need to rely upon the government for support and daily necessities. Where government is God and God is dead. But there are those out there fighting for this country and reminding its people that God is our supporter and we are His creation. Sound familiar? Communism and socialism only bring the people it is suppose to serve down and does not work.
Remember that we need to elect men who fear God and respect the people who elected them. The only force that will bring America down is its self. No outside force will destroy this great nation.
