Freedom and Our Duty

[Emery McClendon]

It cannot be over emphasized how important it is for us to know what it means to be an American.  Freedom is the chief component and benefit that we enjoy as a citizen of the freest, best,  and most powerful nation on earth.

We should be proud and thankful, but also be willing to defend our liberty and share the meaning of freedom and liberty to those who don't fully understand it.

We are truly blessed to live in a nation where we can still exercise our free speech, and the freedoms that are in our Constitution.

There are those among us, and without, that would snatch away our Founding Principles and place us under a tyrannical government.

We see this in many forms recently.  The progressive, socialists, and the preachers of liberation theology.  (and many others too numerous to mention here). They all want to remove the blessings of our heritage and replace them with failed policies and principles.

It is therefore our duty to stand up against those who would ruin the greatest experiment of freedom and liberty that man has ever known.  It does not matter if it may be from our neighbors, the state, our pulpits, or from Washington DC.

We must stay the course that has been laid out before us by our Founders, and fought for by those that have given their lives to preserve our Constitution.

They knew that it was these principles that keep America strong.  They knew that "Freedom and Liberty must be used or they would be lost.

I say it this way: " Freedom And Liberty, Use Them Or Lose Them!"

In order for us to ensure a strong future and foundation for our offspring we must teach those who follow in our footsteps the importance of our American heritage.

I urge you to take pride in the fact that you are an American, and that you proclaim our traditional values to each generation or else we will lose what we hold so dear.

America, America, God shed His grace on thee!

We must fight tyranny on all fronts and unite to make sure that our banner yet waves!

God bless you, and God bless America!

We will not turn back.
