Stand up!

Stand up for what you believe or you will not longer have the opportunity to freely believe it. 

"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me. "

 This is an interview with a former citizen of East Germany while it was still under Communism.  Watch it (please).  Remember that you have a vote.  Use it while you still can. 


Social Security, government-run healthcare, and further restricting firearm access are all prerequisites to Socialism/Communism.  I really don't want to see the United States turning to Socialism, but it is definitely on the path there if we don't start speaking out. 

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure,
the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy,
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.."
~ Winston Churchill

 So, you still have a vote in this country.  Use it.  Vote in the upcoming elections, especially the one in November.  Be thankful that you can still make a difference.

I'm not going to tell you who to vote for.  Do your research and vote for whomever you think is best for the country, but please vote!


God bless America!
