Dividing our nation
“Divide and conquer” is a great all time military tactic, and America is under that attack! The enemy of all mankind has joined together many enemies against our beautiful country, the envy of all the world. We are absolutely under siege to be conquered, and the war is already well advanced, and many of our citizens don’t even realize it. It is like the family sitting around the table enjoying their meal, while the enemies are slipping through the woods toward the house, and the family is not even glancing out the window!
This is not purposed to be a political letter, but the enemy is fight to divide our country even further through the liberal left so he can conquer America. Then, he would have an open shot at the world. Most of the people groups that came to America in the early days came under great difficulty and sufferings. They weren’t perfect, but many of them feared God with a holy reverence, love and dedication. With this attitude, the God fearing and others all worked together to build this nation. It worked and worked well!
Let’s be realistic here, out of all the American citizens of that era, a very small percentage of them owned slaves. Must the non-slave owners’ descendants recompense what other did? Besides, can those desiring this action actually prove that they are a descendent of an American slave? There are multitudes of of black citizens in America who originated from other countries generations ago, but after our Civil War.
The enemies of America have been attacking from several fronts at the same time. Now there is a black movement in Washington that want to be paid for their forefathers having been slaves. This would only serve to divide the races of our country even more. That would have one people getting money, and a lot more of other privileges that they do not work to earn, but simply because they are black. Meanwhile, all other races, who have never owned slaves and don’t want to, are getting nothing. Instead, the money for these blacks comes out of the paychecks of the rest of the people in the form of increased taxes. This greed can only harm not help. I am sure a lot of good black friends that I have are ashamed of this whole idea! They believe in God’s idea of working for what they get, and they appreciate this great blessed country they were born in; and are free citizens of. What if they had been born in the country of there nativity?
Let us stop looking bace to a past that can never be changed, and look forward toward moving forward together to an even greater America!
Thank you,
