Freedom is fading away

Young American men and women in our military are fighting and dying in the name of "freedom". No other country experiences freedom like we do in America. They have lived for thousands of years without freedom and to think we are going to undo or change what it took thousands of years to create is not going to happen in our lifetime.

With this in mind when do we say it is time to quit and bring our military home. Unlike wars in the past we are fighting an enemy that has no face and terrorism seems to have no end. What are we trying to achieve at this point in time?. As soon as we kill one leader another is there to take his place. Their idea of freedom in these countries and America's will never be the same.

Our own freedom is slowly fading away and if we do not stop and start paying attention and taking freedom for granted we will lose what we are really fighting for. Our government is slowly trying to take away GOD by banning him from schools, city and government places. We are lucky that we can worship how we want to as a lot of countries cannot. Just imagine for a minute that the government could tell you what religion you have to practice.

Freedom of speech is beginning to be chipped away bit by bit. Songs are being banned as they are not politically correct. For example as song written and composed by the Chyles Road Band named "Welfare Blues" was banned in Washington State for being politically incorrect. The second amendment, the right to bear arms, is being threatened which was put in place to protect the first amendment. You are allowing this to happen if you do not vote, turn your head, don't speak up.

Have you ever taken one minute to think about how lucky you were to be born in America. The odds of you being born in this free country are very slim in comparison to the rest of the world. If you do not like America just turn on the news and really look how people live in other countries. El Salvador is a very poor and violent country with little hope for the youth to change the future. Most children have no parents and live in gangs.

Throughout history many men and now women have died in wars for preservation of our freedom or helping others try to have freedom. The countries we are fighting in have never experienced true freedom like American's have. Just think of your child waking up with no food, no home or no parents to teach them about what is right and wrong. Just open your eyes and think! Don't let freedom slip away so that your children must lose their lives to get it back.

Kelly Says, Obama promised "Hope and change you can believe in" but I prefer "to keep my God, my guns, my freedom, my money and you can keep the change".
