One Nation Under God

                                                                 ONE NATION UNDER GOD                                                                                     
I can't say how many times I've said that I'm not one to preach.However, this is probably exactly what I'm about to do and many of you may not like what I'm about to say.But regardless here's goes nothing.
When I was growing up I remember how much everyone talked about what a great nation America was and how everyone wanted to come and live here. Our country was beloved around the world. The land of opportunity, rags to riches, where every dream deserved a chance. America was the nation where no matter who you are or what you believed you could be free to live as you chose.
Attached to that sentiment was also the phrase, "One Nation Under God." It is stamped on our money and written into our Constitution in such a way as to be understood that this nation was developed and forged with serving and worshiping God.
As the years have rolled on from those days of settlements of old and masses of people from all around the world who have poured into our borders, we have become less of a God serving nation. We should perhaps re-phrase that one statement to say, "One Nation under political and money servitude."
The people of this great nation are no longer loved around the world, but rather hated is more like it. More and more we find our selves in the mist of political disaster and misleadership, all the while pretending to still be a great nation.
We are not a nation under God, but a nation of fools. If you don't go along with what's deem as the new way of thinking, " Anything Goes." then maybe you are committing a hate crime. If you don't like your neighbors, which you should then you might be stirring up trouble.
Crime is at and all time high, murders are being committed every second for the most insidious reasons and the real hate is like a cancer.
We can no longer speak out about our "president" and his lack of leadership, lest we be hatemongers and racist. But on the other hand the shout of "it's racial" is being screamed for everything that goes wrong, even if it's not the other races fault. I am a white christian women who has lived through poverty, abuse, bullying and all kinds of hateful action lean against me. The truth is I don't hate anyone, but if you kill an innocent person, well I'm probably not going to be your best friend.
All I want is to be able to practice my faith, watch the news that isn't forty five minutes of blood shed and still be proud of my country and my leaders. Sadly that isn't going to happen anymore, is it? This great nation that has seen so much sacrifice for freedom is going to hell in a quick hand basket and our leaders are paving the way. I wish I knew what happen to that great place called America, One Nation Under God. She just doesn't exist, not the way I believe she was suppose to anyway.
Our fore fathers had a dream for this country, but it is my opinion that this country of ours is just plain full of crap. What we as Americans have allowed to happen in our own backyard is repulsive and we should be very ashamed of how we have let our dream country disappear.
I pray every night for this country, my home of the brave. I keep hoping for honest leaders with a little backbone that will perhaps take a stand and finally reclaim the we are indeed, still a great nation. One Nation Under God, Indivisible, And Justice For All.
Good luck America, we're going to need it.
