Leadership and Divine Providence...

[Ronald A. Nelson Col.USA (Ret)]

When in the progress of Nations... great works are to be accomplished, the reformation of government, or the resistance of political oppression, it is by the order of Divine Providence that men and women are prepared for the task. Leadership capable and willing to accept the responsibility and duty for the common good comes from the Divine Creator. His call to greatness and leadership must be answered, if a People are to be free. Who will hear?

Leadership makes the difference... in the character of a Nation and the form of its perpetuity. The quality and moral strength of a Nation's leaders is reflected in her institutions and governance. It divides the great Nations from those of lesser significance in the world. No movement, social or political, achieves greatness without first having obtained quality leadership... none.

I challenge anyone to cite a successful social or political movement... good or bad without effective leadership. Save your time, there has never been a successful movement without clear leadership; not now or ever, in the history of this world. It is appalling that many would anticipate National political change to take place, without first having a NATIONAL CORE of individuals to lead these efforts.

Pres. Obama is the result of good men failing their duty... to lead our Nation. It is the wanton failure of good men and women to accept the responsibility and DUTY too lead that plagues this Nation. A lack of good leadership has set America on a course to be ruled by despots. Leadership abhors a vacuum and where good leaders are not found... others of lesser character and moral pursuit will most certainly fill the vacuum and lead. Hence, America elected Pres. Obama... over the weak leadership of the Republican Party and Sen. John McCain.

Men like... George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Samuel Adams accepted their calling and duty to lead. They sacrificially stepped forward to fulfill their calling. These great men of strong moral character and personal success were the chosen instruments... too, lay the foundations of the United States of America. It is the sacrifices of men like these, which guaranteed the prosperity and perpetuity of this great nation. It now follows that the sacrifice of great men is needed again to keep our prosperity and to guarantee our perpetuity.

America needs men and women with great moral character... Leaders WILLING to risk their life, liberty, and personal fortunes, in the pursuit of the restoration of a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Too, reinstate our founding fathers intent and purposes for government. Yet, many deny the need for such individual leaders. They foolishly expect the Ship of State to be helmed by the many; as they debate the purpose and course of reform our ship of State wonders in a sea of distress without a helm.

However, such non-sense will lead to their cause being set adrift... carried about by every wind and doctrine of men. Their cause may soon be abandoned, their ship wrecked by the winds of discord. What is needed... Nay, what is required... for National reformation, is leadership and a common helm. A helm capable of establishing a true course, with a common purpose and destination. The Patriot movement needs leadership to bring together the MANY as ONE... 'E PLURIBUS UNUM'.

Benjamin Franklin said: “We must all hang together, or assuredly, we shall all hang separately.” The leadership of men like Franklin kept the fires of liberty kindled in the hearts and minds of the Colonies... Without such INDIVIDUALS to lead the fire of liberty would surly have been extinguished by the likes of King George. Today, the Left is using Saul Alinsky' s tactics to divide and conquer. The Left desires to keep the Patriot groups and their leadership divided, destroying them... piecemeal; setting good men at odds and adversity over inconsequential matters, pride and the division of authority.

There are many Patriot groups... that comprise the Patriot movement in America. These Patriot groups should be encouraged to UNIFY in the fashion our founding fathers, under 'Articles of Confederation'... a statement of their common purpose and goals. Such unity achieved by a Continental Congress (a union of diverse personalities and ideas) won the day for liberty and a similar approach to unity, would best serve the cause of today's Patriots.

It is time to unify against the forces of despots... Against those men who would bind America to their own purpose and a New World Order. In unity, the strength of the people may be organized and directed against the despots; too, affirm and guarantee our posterity the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These rights are not the guarantee of any government, they are the promise of God to men and women, who are willing to defend such liberty.

Let us therefore come together... to seek out men of moral character, with the strength to unify our cause. Strong men and women of Godly Character to helm America's Ship of State; that America may again become one nation under God with liberty and justice for all. America was once a Nation set upon a hill, whose light was a beacon of liberty, that give hope to all the world. Will this light and hope be extinguished or refreshed? The People must now decide will it be liberty or death?

It rests with Divine Providence... whether this Nation will find men and women of inspired leadership or pass the way of many great civilizations before her. Will America join the scrap heap of nations, an experiment in liberty, a foot note among failed Republics; or will America find the leadership she needs in her hour of trial? Let us put aside our petty differences and come together as one Nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all... a Nation lead by men and women of strong Godly Character.
