Nows The Time

Now more than ever, we as a country, the freest and most powerful in the world, must come together to support each other. As so many suffer from job losses and financial setbacks and others cope with the death of loved ones to wars in other countries we can no longer be perceived as divided and lost in greed or as being manipulated by our own elected leaders.
It’s also a time to remember the thousands of families that must live each day without fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters who have chosen not just to fight for freedom but to proudly stand up for this country they call home while some of our leaders tear us apart through mindless actions, selfish agendas and hurtful words.
It’s a time our leaders lead by positive actions and stop placing blame while offering no solutions. And we as the people who call America home begin to show more pride in what we have and never take for granted what others wish they had.
It’s a time we must forget hatred and arrogance and begin to show the rest of the world what it means to be called the leader of the free world through compassion and common sense and not govern by name calling and child like finger pointing.
The beliefs and actions by one man today in Washington DC cost not just the life of a dedicated security guard, it cost us as a country another step back to the days of our history that we should only learn from and never repeat. This was another in a series of events over that past few years that demonstrates to the rest of the world how little too many of us respect and appreciate what we have while trying to convince other nations that this is right for them.
Believe or don’t believe, trust or distrust agree or disagree you’re free to choose. But never forget how we earned the right to be called leaders of the free world and sometime, in your own way, choose to demonstrate to the rest of world what it means to be proud and free.
