WILD RIDE THAN SMOOTH WATERS?

Dear Friend,

Well, it looks like we are in for a wild ride -- possibly to perdition. If not to there, certainly to a place in our lives time where we can put a marker on the bad years, all to tell our grand children (possibly great grand children) about the bad times they were -- and dangerous. We can tell them that the times were so dangerous and stressed that there were rumors of revolution and rebellion against the Federal government, the run-away Congress that didn't care one iota for the country, so long as "the crooks got theirs" and the usual number of crooks did pop up during the bad times as was expected -- from the top down.

This is My VIEW, though. I hope I'm not delusional. From different actions I now see happening, I feel the situation will begin to change. In not too long a time, I hope the future "story" will read like this:

The huge number of patriots who felt that their Republic had changed to an oligarchy, with a questionably eligible person to be President in charge had had enough of the corrupt Congress and the Administration who stole the election. They began to wake up and do something about the situation.

There were too many divisions among those who knew that the conservatives had to fight back, but were slow to start. However, slowly and under the welcome leadership of wise persons, persons who had been apathetic during the time the liberals were building their fortresses and usurping power, the worm began its laborious turn. The natural conservatism of the American people began to show again. With time and patience and a solid belief in the goodness of America, once more the "change" that really was a change began to take shape. It looked like we would be great again, respected again and feared again.

The Federal Reserve Bank was put into a deep sleep, and Congress took over handling the legal tender of the land. We set a standard again. The most solid of the backing was gold, and it began to give value to the currency that, before, was but paper, and no better than its composition -- part cotton and with special ink that still didn't stop it from being counterfeited. It would take time; however, time was on our side. Perhaps our great-grand children won't have our debt on their shoulders after all. The greatest action that was taken, was the States taking back their sovereign rights -- taking back their rights assured by them by Amendment X, States Rights. It simply says that any right not reserved to the Federal Government by the Constitution, and any right not denied to the States, belong to the States or to the People.

It was time for the States and the People to take back that which, besides the usurper President, the power-hungry politicians had taken from them -- all because of disinterest, but mostly because of apathy. Balances and checks were beginning to take on the semblance desired by our Forefathers -- those great patriots who gave us a Republic, but which we nearly lost to dangerous, damaging and immoral Socialism. Perhaps the shining city on the hill would be possible after all.

This is in MY VIEW. Perhaps it is after all delusional, though. I pray not. For certainly God hasn't forgotten us -- perhaps he is but mistaking our small fires of hope for the stars He made in His time long ago.
