Those Who Came

They have been coming for centuries, always for the same reason, to give themselves and their families a better life! In one way or another, they all chanted the same word, "freedom!". They wanted their piece of the pie in so many shapes and forms: religion, land, and peace. They wanted to escape from tyrannical kings and landlords, famines, broken promises, poverty, the laws of Europe and so much more.

Oh what courage they had, as they knew of the many dangers ahead of them that they would face on their journey: raging seas and gigantic waves sending boatload after boatload to rest forever with Davy Jones Locker on the sandy bottom of the ocean; constant dysentery and scurvy. So many died. Those who did survive the journey were met by hostile native Americans, freezing winters, and land defying anyone to grow anything edible.

But they kept on coming. They survived, and word got back to Europe with the speed of wildfires on dried up dusty fields. And then came taxes from their motherland. Enough of them, but by no means a majority of them, were fed-up, and once again they chanted freedom! The king is stealing back our freedom with taxes, they said, and we will not have it. So they threw the tea overboard, and shot the shot that was heard round the world.

It was no less than Biblical. Thirteen rag-tag colonies, like David and his sling shot, up against the Goliath Empire of Great Britain. It was miraculous at times. Like when England's best sharp-shooter had a clear shot at General Washington, but just before the assassin was about to shoot, Washington's horse turned, and the expert shooter said, "I could not shoot a man in the back!"

who came, who stayed, and who keep on coming, endlessly. We call her America. And very, very few ever want to leave. Do you know anyone who left? I don't.

Indeed, if you were born in America in the last 100 years, you were born at the pearly gates in relation to the rest of the world.

And so time marched on by, like the rhythm of the drummer and the bugle boy and by way of three wars, the Civil War, World War I, and World War II, we saved ourselves, and indeed Western Civilization itself, from ruin. Yes, our Civil War did end slavery, but it took another 120 years to end prejudice; for war and laws can change the minds of evil men, but only time, love, and forgiveness can change their heart and soul.

Wars, wars, wars all over Europe, and war is still happening between Russia and Ukraine. You can easily get killed for showing your hair, or for being gay in the Middle East, or attacked by a machete and a slow death for being Catholic in Africa, or die from mosquito-infected water in South America, or kidnapped by cartels in Mexico. Wow, it's enough to make you faint. Not to mention how President Trump saved millions of people from dying by ending seven wars.

But one characteristic of evil is that it NEVER QUITS! Evil is slimy and changes its story from one day to another. Ilhan Omar now tells us she's not worth 100 million. It was a "accounting" error. Hunter Biden definitely painted all those paintings. Nancy Pelosi didn't give her husband insider information, and Obama didn't lie when he said, "we can keep our doctors." (LOL - We could keep our doctors if we paid $500 or more every month.) The Lies never stop!

America is currently being drowned by lies that make Covid and Polio seem minuscule. This war is everywhere, in our schools, our media, our judiciary system, and even our Congress. Remember the words uttered by Winston Churchill, who said, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Don't you be one of these lost souls!

And to all you, who show by your words and actions, that you hate America and have no real plans for improving it, GET OUT! Be the first generation that did! Show some guts! Walk your talk! We don't want your destruction, your projected hate, your negativity, your simpleness and most of all, your lying, cheating eyes. Go to China, Russia, Canada. Go anywhere, you poor lost souls.
