"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction." A quote from former President, Ronald Reagan.
The choice is ours, freedom or socialism. One cannot exist simultaneously with the other.
Some people seem to have a difficult time grasping that truth. This country and our freedom survived solely because of those who were and are still willing to fight and die for the privilege of living in the greatest country this world has ever known.
The United States of America has long been the world's most generous country, bar none. We have come to the rescue of those in need, more than any other. We still do. We helped save the world from socialist and communist rule, during two world wars. However, we cannot continue in that role, if after 250 years, we ourselves become a socialist country.
Citizens that recognize that truth work hard to achieve their dreams. We don't wait for a handout, don't want one. All of us may need a hand-up at some point in time, but we acknowledge much is expected in return.
I believe our freedom is a gift from our Creator. This country's founders were, to a large degree, men and women of faith. The words contained within our founding documents bear that out.
Another quote of the former President, reads as follows: "If we ever forget we are one nation under God, then we will be one nation gone under." Let's not forget.
