Who’s In Charge Here?

To listen to the anointed Barack Hussein Obama and his excessive use of references to “I” and “me” along with his efforts to “radically transform” the country most of us love, you would think that someone died and left him as boss. He and his cohorts have already begun dismantling the protections we thought our constitution had given us. He believes he is justified as his thoughts must be reflecting the will of the people. The people, as in “We the people”, are telling him his actions and schemes don’t reflect their version of the “public will”. Someone is wrong! Who is really in charge here?

Well, the people are closer to being on target as our founding fathers noted we have been endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights. These rights are not generated by the people any more than they are generated by our government, as Chuck Schumer would have us believe. They have been given to the people by their creator. In some ways the people have been given the right to rule their land in much the same way European monarchs believed they had been given the “divine right of kings”. Only in this case there is truth to the claim.

Over the years, the people have been foolish and given up the control that was rightfully theirs, much like Esau gave up his inheritance to Jacob. Yet the concept that individual liberty is a gift from our creator has not been lost. The secular statists believe otherwise. They are convinced that the Judeo-Christian values that were the foundation of our country have outlived their usefulness and the people now need the firm hand of a strong centralized government to guide them through one crisis after another generated crisis.

Yet all has not been smooth cruising along their road to power. Recently we’ve seen events that some would like to chalk up to coincidence. As one who does not believe in coincidences, I am beginning to see a pattern in the manner of the rain and the fog the covered the miraculous escape of General Washington’s army from the British trap at Brooklyn Heights. There was no explanation for the weather, yet it prevented the destruction of the Americans fighting for their freedom and allowed them to carry on another day.

In the past few months we have seen some things that makes one wonder if divine providence is not protecting us one more time. Individually, each event may not seem that important, but together, they may well be the beginning of another series of protective steps to keep a vibrant shining city on a hill.

For years Republicans could not defeat Ted Kennedy… now he is gone. The common sense people of John Murtha’s district could not vote him out of office… now he is gone. Psalm 37 tells us “A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.” The way some of the pillars of the left have fallen, I would be extremely nervous if I were Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid. They would do well to be hoping that electoral defeats would be the limits of the negative events in their futures.

Along similar lines, a few months back, we saw the world’s ecowhacko elites descending on Copenhagen to discuss the global warming fantasy and make plans of how they would impose their misguided will upon the good folks of the world in general, and those of us in the United States in particular. Oddly enough, about that same time, the public discovered that the prime shakers in the climate change movement were cooking the data to support their disastrous prognostications.

To add insult to injury, the poor attendees had a rough time getting out of the city and back home due to massive, unseasonably early and heavy snow storms. It’s as if the one who is really in control was mocking their efforts. Just recently the Obama administration talked up big plans… some of them concerning new efforts to stop the non-existent global warming… and the nation’s capitol was shut down by not one, but two of the largest snow storms ever to hit the city. Algore has been strangely silent during this crumbling of his environmental house of cards.

We who want to preserve our great country appear to have the help at hand to get the job done in much the same way as our revolutionary forefathers. They had help, but they still had to put forth the effort and endure the dangers and hardships of fighting for their freedom. We need to hope and pray that we do not have to get into they same kind of armed conflict our predecessors did. However, in honoring their memory, we need to be prepared to face the dangers and the discomforts we may encounter. We are loved and watched over, but often the struggles produce more than victory.

Sometimes struggles come into our lives to produce character and purify our dedication. Our country has become fat and happy, and in many cases it has become like the church in Ephesus that was efficient but had lost its first love. We should be grateful that we have been given one more chance. We can’t afford to blow it.
