This morning, I watched, once more, the various ceremonies remembering 9/11. My heart is troubled. I cried as the bells were rung. On this day, September 11, 2001, our nation was radically changed. On this day, 13 years ago, terrorists declared war on our nation, our citizens.
In October 2001, the Patriot Act was signed into law. This act began the slow process of us losing our civil liberties. Because of this law, TSA began policing our airports. In 2012, President Obama signed an Executive Order banning freedom of speech and peaceful protest when Secret Service is around. After that, he signed the NDAA. This time it was different. This time, it allowed for the indefinite, unlawful detention of anyone, including United States Citizens. People, our civil liberties are being quickly taken from us, by our own government, all in the name of "security". Our nation is no more secure now than it was in 2001. The ONLY ones paying the price for this is WE THE PEOPLE! How much more are YOU willing to sacrifice? How much more of your freedom are YOU willing to give up? If you don't stand up for your God-given rights, then what are you standing up for?
Terrorists attacked us. Instead of the terrorists being the ones targeted, instead of our borders being secured, instead of foreigners being made to follow OUR laws......WE are being punished on a daily basis. Illegals have been allowed on OUR planes without ID. Illegals are being allowed to get passports from OUR Social Security offices within a day while our CITIZENS must wait weeks or even months. Illegals are being allowed access to government assistance while our elderly, military, and disabled are made to starve or die. I say illegals because there are terrorists coming across our OPEN southern border. Tell me again....what are you standing up for? Tell me again....what are you fighting for? Is it to get more weed because your state allows it? Is it for more "social" equality? Tell me again....what will it take for YOU to finally realize that YOUR silence is helping this nation to crumble?!?!
There are legitimate issues in this country that do need to be addressed. However, what makes you think they will ever be addressed as long as YOU sit on your butt and remain silent?!? Wake up America!!!!!! Both the movie Red Dawn and Todd Beamer from Flight 93 said it all...YOU choose either way: WOVERINE ....LET'S ROLL!!!!
