I have been a outspoken proponent of liberty, of the foundational principles of our forefathers. I love the country that I was raised in, what it stood for, it was a light on the hill, a beacon to all that would be free, those who would seek prosperity through the fruits of their own labor. Those that came to be apart of the law abiding citizenry that knew anything was possible if you just worked for it. Sadly, I hardly recognize it today.
What was so historic last night? Well it certainly wasn't that we elected a Black President. Frankly unless you are a racist, I am not sure why that was so historic 4 years ago. What was truly historic, was that after four years of exposure to what the POTUS's believes, his policies, his actions and intent, that as a people, America has affirmed his direction. The voice of the majority, eyes wide open (or at least they had ample opportunity to have been) voted for social transformation, departed from our constitution, affirmed that the governance style of the president, which overtly disregards the congress, has sought to amass power unto itself beyond any previous presidency, and seeks to live by social re-distributive principles, is consistent with the will of the majority. In short, while the Republic was not tossed out the window literally, the voice of the populace is that it should be.
Beyond the presidential election, state initiatives that oppose federal law passed handily with regard to same sex marriage and legalization of pot. Indeed, in the face of fiscal peril, social issues prevailed. There is now no hope of repeal for the healthcare act, that literally does nothing to provide for better healthcare but turns 17% of our economy into another government regulated program of taxation and redistribution. The act will be fully funded and will transform our healthcare system beyond the expectations of most Americans, not necessarily in a favorable way.
Yes, last night was historic, but history is not always kind. We see through out history, while man, at times, has freedom to act, the agency to choose as it were, he does not choose the consequence of his choice. Consequence is self evident, it follows decision, for good or for evil.
The American people have made their choice. Now they will receive the consequence of their decision. The majority has cast off fiscal responsibility, morality, traditional values of self-reliance and those of our forefathers, for social engineering, Keynesian economic philosophy (of this most do not understand or or hope to control the outcome) and Saul Alinsky tactics, to reshape this country into what? Most do not know or frankly care enough to figure it out. They just want the false security of government to tell them it will be okay as they slowly waste into serfdom.
Yes, last night was historic, the people voted in favor of the party who sought to remove God from their platform (actually they did it but their leaders and a few who claim to serve Christ but support the murder of millions of innocent children through abortion, feared the effect on the election and replaced the words to brunt the effect in opposition to the voice of the delegates ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8BwqzzqcDs ). They agreed with the POTUS who said we are no longer a christian nation, who supports those who would destroy us and affronts those who have been our allies and friends. They traded traditional values and individual responsibility for free birth control, same sex marriage, and pot. The voice of the people disregarded the necessity for fiscal responsibility and instead chose to approve of the POTUS plan that will double our debt in the net 10 years, as if the economy will last that long if we go down the path he has knowingly set. The people have chosen instead to bury there heads in the sand and pretend that if we cut our military to the point we can't wage war on multiple fronts we won't have to. Our enemies seemingly will just smoke weed with us and hold hands. Forget that the stabilization around the world for the last 60 years has largely been a result of our efforts though the strength of deterrent which is our military. Yes, they choose to believe the spreading influence of radical Islam, largely ignored even in some ways fostered by this POTUS, poses not threat to us, they only, as a stated objective, want to wipe us off the face of the earth.
Maybe I am becoming cynical in my old age, maybe I am no longer, in the know. You see, I do not believe in a global federation of peace, no I didn't even buy into the idea when it was sold as Star Trek in the 70's, but we probably had a better chance of it then. Do I think the end of our nation is staring us in the face, no, I think, judging by the will of the people last night, it has actually already occurred. We have, by all indications, past the tipping point the fallout is just beginning.
I, for one will indeed hold on to my guns, and my religion. I will as it says in Luke 6:28, pray for my enemies, and those who despite-fully use me. I'll also give heed to the lessons in Samuel, Kings of the Bible, and of Mosiah 29: 26-27 (Book of Mormon):
------
26 Now it is not common that the voice of the people desireth anything contrary to that which is right; but it is common for the lesser part of the people to desire that which is not right; therefore this shall ye observe and make it your law—to do your business by the voice of the people.
27 And if the time comes that the voice of the people doth choose iniquity, then is the time that the judgments of God will come upon you; yea, then is the time he will visit you with great destruction even as he has hitherto visited this land.
------
The voice of the people has spoken. America will reap what it sews, and at the end, well this will serve as a reminder that as America chooses to pursue other paths, forgetting God and the foundational values of our forefathers that made this country what it was (not what is, or is becoming): 3rd Nephi 25 (Book of Mormon)
------
1 aFor behold, the day cometh that shall bburn as an oven; and all the cproud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But unto you that fear my name, shall the aSon of Righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth and bgrow up as ccalves in the stall.
3 And ye shall atread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of Hosts.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses, my servant, which I commanded unto him in aHoreb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
5 Behold, I will send you aElijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful bday of the Lord;
6 And he shall aturn the heart of the bfathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and csmite the earth with a curse.

Where will you be? With whom will you stand? Where did you stand last night?
