I can honestly say, that when I was growing up, I was afraid of war and it coming to America. The Vietnam War scared the crap out me, my brother, Kenneth Wayne Glines left in February for bootcamp for the USN. I always had a feeling he wasn’t coming back to us. He left for his deployment before his 19th Birthday to join the USS FRANK E. USS DD 754. He died on June 3rd of 1969. His body was the only one recovered. The other 73 sailors were lost at sea. Their names are still not on The Vietnam Wall. They shelled upon Vietnam 20 days before moving on to Sea Spirit Maneuvers in the South China Sea. So that the Russians couldn’t deliver their supplies to Vietnam. It’s been 55 years and still no recognition for their heroism during that time. Time is of the essence. Many survivors are passing as time goes by. This needs to be resolved.
Someone once told me you have to choose which hill you die on. Get ready to fill out your reports on me, ‘cause I'm going to vent here. Frankly I expect some "unfriending" to happen and that is fine too.
I believe we all have the right to worship as we please, but I also know that our country, the United States of America, was founded on Christian principles. I believe we should be proud of our country. A quote is a quote; It should not be amended or watered down.
The news media should not be afraid to use the "Love of Christ" part. Answering “Why”, they state, “Because, using the words Christ or God might offend someone!” Well, now it's my turn to be offended!
I'm offended that the news media would edit it out. I’m offended that Christians are being asked to tread lightly, so as not to offend someone of another religion. This man, Jesus, loved God, loved his people, loved the world, and gave his life for the sins of ALL people so that those who “believe in Him, and accept Him as their personal Savior, will have everlasting life!!!”
This Founding Principle is actually embedded in our Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” Why would the left lopsided media continue to edit this truth?!
I hope every Christian or every person that believes in God who is NOT OFFENDED will copy this and paste it to their status...“If we ever forget that we're one nation under GOD, then we will be a nation gone under.” ~Ronald Reagan.
*Before you say it, I already know that a lot of you will say “I don't know how to copy & paste.” It’s easy... hold your finger on this post and when the word copy appears, just touch it. Then go to your home page and where it says "what's on your mind", touch it and hold your finger where you would start writing your comment and touch "paste”.
If we continue to do nothing so as not to offend anyone else, we will eventually be offended out of the constitution and out of a country!
I am definitely Not worried who I offend!!
I copied and pasted. How about you?
