Will you share responsibility if our freedoms are over the hill?

By Oscar Y. Harward 

Americans with our inherited ‘inalienable’ God-given rights and freedoms appears to be moving to a lower level. 

‘Face it’!  An American electorate majority has ‘voted’ to turn the USA, our Constitution, and our earlier ‘inalienable’ ‘God-given’ freedoms ‘upside-down’; and away as passed down from our earlier generation(s). 

America is living under a ‘lawless’ government of elected and appointed individuals who, themselves, decide whether to ‘obey, enforce, or ignore’ our Constitution and our laws, as they please. 

America made a ‘far-left turn’ in 1963 as the SCOTUS verdict in ABINGTON SCHOOL DIST. v. SCHEMPP removed the Holy Bible from our ‘public schools’.  Since that judgment, several generations have failed to hear, study, and/or pass along to later generations the ‘Word of God’. As time passed, I perceived a vision for America to return our nation to the dreams of our Founding Fathers and our US Constitution based on Christian values. 

During this same time frame, most regular individuals who practice ‘Christianity’ in their ‘houses of worship’, were spending their money being entertained in professional sports, amphitheaters, movies, and other forms of entertainment, while the ‘lead superstars and movie stars’ themselves, were returning their disproportionate proceeds and take-home revenues to ‘left-wing’ political candidates of election(s) and other ‘radical’ political ideals; representing opposite opinions as these same paying customers usually uphold. 

‘Left-wing’ political ‘movers and shakers’ may have won on ‘Liberal’ social, fiscal, and National Security issues; perhaps, forever while many wonder…. How could it have happened?  How did it happen?  What went wrong?  Was I, or am I part of the problem, or am I a solution? 

Is it ‘too late’ to return to the dreams of our Founding Fathers and our US Constitution based on Christian values?  Most probably yes; however, nothing is impossible under God’s decree. 

Each of us must review our own life and evaluate as to what, how, where, and when we assisted in damaging our Constitution based on Christian values, and our ‘inalienable’ God-given rights and freedoms.  On the differing side, did any of us assist in reinforcing our Constitution based on Christian values, and our nation? 

Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.”  

Have we, as good ‘God-fearing’ Christians fought for, protected, and handed down our freedoms to the next generation(s)?  History will reveal the answer(s) to others.
