The social media war for the minds and hearts of the society we live in today is evident to any rational thinking person. Traditional values are being threatened by progressive thought and the media news and the majority of the entertainment world leans towards liberal ideas and biases. It really is not arguable that this is not happening right here in the land of the free and even worldwide. Continue reading
Colin Kaepernick of 49ers
Retired police officer Chris Amos, a father of three, had the spotlight shone on him while he was still in uniform. Amos shot and killed a young minority male and was given paid leave.
He is exactly the type of police officer that Kaepernick spoke about when he said, “There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.”
However, Amos decided to show Kaepernick something that the NFL player didn’t know: that they were more alike than he realized.
The 4th of July has come and gone and many people think of the holiday as a day they get off work or a day they see the fireworks.
We as Americans take what we have as people of that nation for granted. What do we have; just the greatest nation for opportunity and freedoms that has ever existed in history.

As a nation, we are 234 years old. Not the longest time to be a nation at all others have existed many more years. But there is special about the United States of America both in it’s beginning and present day. 13 colonies banded together to throw off the government of the most powerful nation of that day England. The odds were against them but somehow they prevailed and became a new “nation concealed in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal” Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. We as Lincoln are engaged in a great Civil War again. Not one of guns and bombs but of ideas and laws. Progressive thoughts and ideas are ruling the day in almost all governments in the United States of America. The Congress and President using these ideas have changed the country from one of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to managed health care, freedom for illegals, and uncertainty of the future and fewer jobs.
