America is not too big to fail,
but it’s too important to neglect;
It’s too beautiful to be marred;
too costly to be thrown away.
We can’t surrender our nation to evil.
America is gold, and it cannot exist for common purposes.
It mustn’t end up on the ash heap of history
like Persia, or Egypt or Greece or Rome.
We owe future generations a free America;
we have to give no less than what we received
Our freedoms and values were fought for,
Labored over, sweat out, bled out over
God has blessed America and we must
cherish it,
care for it
and preserve it
Too many lives have been lost for us to
forget who we are.
Too much blood has been shed for us to
hang our heads
and throw up our hands
We have to speak up; we are compelled
to resist darkness and the forces of hell
Ask the soldiers in Flanders Field about income equality
Ask the thousands under Omaha Beach about gov’t dependency
Ask the cold ground at Gettysburg if this nation is worth saving
Ask the sailors on the USS Cole if Muslims should be invited
to pray on the White House lawn
Ask the chaplains who died in our World Wars if
“So help me God” is a worthy Air Force motto
Ask Seal Team Six’s widows if Islam is a peaceful religion
Ask the 5,281 Iraq War dead if they want a muslim advisor in the White House
Ask the 1,432 Afghanistan War dead if they want a mosque at Ground Zero
What will we say to those soldiers we meet one day
How will we excuse these things? What will we tell them.
Here’s what you tell them:
Tell the Band of Brothers who buried their buddies
about how we condone and even lionize men lying with men
Tell the paraplegics from roadside bombs about the Americans
who are tweeting and sexting on their Obama-phones
Tell the lonely soldiers in far-away deserts away from their wives
about the low-life fornicators carousing in warm beds spawning
illegitimate children
Tell the soldiers who can’t get health insurance or who are waiting for benefits
about the bums here who are falsely on disability and
unemployment compensation
Tell our men and women who are eating from tin cans about
Food
If we don’t take a stand, then we be telling our grandchildren
about the days:
When a man was different from a woman
And when love was sacrifice and not indulgence
When courtship was an ideal and marriage was holy
and there was a virgin in every househould,
When children had no doubt about their gender,
When teachers told kids the truth
and citizens had moral fiber
When churches were on fire
When the name of Jesus Christ was not thrown around
and people trembled at the word of God
When righteousness was a common word
and people feared the judgment and wrath of the Almighty.
Will every former generation of Americans and people all over the world
Rise up and condemn us at the judgment?
I hope not!
God bless America. America bless God!
Honor and tribute and thanksgiving and blessing to our veterans and troops
Glory and honor and power and majesty and dominion to our God!
Salvation belongs to our God!
