Fellow Patriots, there comes a moment when we reach a tipping point, where we can no longer accept the status quo. If we remain complacent, we risk becoming passive followers instead of active patriots. Throughout American history, there have been pivotal moments when action was necessary to combat complacency.
One such moment occurred during the early years of the United States. Influential figures like George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson could no longer tolerate British rule over the Colonies. In 1773, the famous Tea Party protest demonstrated their anger and resistance against the King’s increasing taxes. This was followed by the conflict at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, where the first shots were fired, “The Shot Heard Around The World” marking the beginning of a powerful resistance against the mighty military power of England.
Another critical moment took place on February 4, 1861, when Southern Democrats, led by Jefferson Davis, seceded from the Union in rebellion against authority. They demanded their interpretation of states’ rights, which included the ownership of slaves and the ability to impose and retain tariffs and taxes. History shows the Union resisted and triumphed,
preserving America.
On December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto wrote in his diary: “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.” These words proved true as the event galvanized the United States.
A significant turning point occurred when Dr. Martin Luther King delivered his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963. This powerful speech forever changed America and initiated the healing process for deep-rooted racism and resentment.
Today, America requires another pivotal moment. A moment when its citizens rise up and declare “We Are One Nation Under God”. We must denounce sexual perversion and the exploitation of children, and return to the principles which made America great and will ensure its continued greatness.
The United States of America must reject wicked practices and reaffirm its Judeo-Christian values without fear of criticism. Anything less will lead to complacency and misplaced tolerance. We cannot allow a minority’s perversions to become the norm for the majority. Through widespread boycotts, demands from Congress, media campaigns, and personal resistance, those who embrace the restoration of Judeo-Christian values must stand up or risk sinking into complacency. This is why we must resist the growing anti-American sentiment within our beloved nation. We must be a generation which safeguards freedom and passes it on, unspoiled, to the next generation, ready to be utilized, cherished, and defended.
January 5, 1967, President Ronald Reagan stated this truth in his Inaugural Address: “Freedom is a fragile thing and it’s never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.”
That is the reason why we must oppose and resist the increasing malevolence towards America within our beloved nation. We should strive to become a generation which safeguards freedom and passes it on, entirely unharmed, to the succeeding generation, ready to be utilized, appreciated, and defended.
Be the resistance!
