Faded Memory

Another election has passed but this one has significance. The normal apathy of who leads this great land has been replaced by simple fear. That a time envisioned in black and white has been lost. That somehow the grasp the common man had on our country's greatness has slipped through our fingers. That the world our Father's envisioned for us has eroded into a liberal cesspool of homosexual rights, unabated abortions, stem cell research, anti-gun rhetoric, welfare for the masses, and the death of an idyllic Mayberry world where people go to church, predators are kept from our children and America is a place known as the land of the free and the home of the brave. We have morphed into a country that drinks the dream kool-aid and in the name of righteousness the righteous are suppressed at every turn. A place where you have the freedom of speech as long as we speak what the audience wants to hear, where I can defend myself and my family from tyranny by calling 911, and our future president not only will negotiate with terrorists he'll have lunch with them. What revelation occurred that an extremist left wing, pro-abortion, anti-gun, pro-homosexual was the answer to all our problems? How can the duplicitous Christians rationalize their actions? I'm lost in the logic if it all. I feel like I'm in the Stepford Wives movie and not seeing the value in the "Change" of this man. I not only don't get caught up in the passion of his oratory I'm distraught that so many of my neighbors have. I keep thinking of how a German rose to power in the midst of economic depression, a people under the appearance of oppression lead like mice to their deaths with oratory, pomp and circumstance. While others dance and revel all I can do is watch in wonder at the celebration of a death, the death of the real dream that was……..America.
