"O ye that love mankind! Ye that dare oppose, not only the tyranny, but the tyrant, stand forth! Every spot of the old world is overrun with oppression. Freedom hath been hunted 'round the globe! Asia and Africa have long expelled her. Europe regards her like a stranger, and England hath given her warning to depart. O! receive the fugitive, and prepare in time an asylum for mankind." - Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" penned in 1776.
His was a desperate plea for freedom in their new continent. The settlers were fugitives from the tyranny of the rest of the world. But oppression under the king of England had followed them to the new world.
This is an age-old story. Godly men seeking a place in a godless world to live in peace and freedom. But as with the Israelites, during the time of prophets, the people turned from God and envied the ways of the heathen. So have we in American turned from God and now try to find security in the heathen.
Our founding fathers escaped the oppressive leaders of Europe and today, 234 years later, we have become such a godless nation that we cry out for that same oppression in Europe. Our president holds Europe up as a beacon of light to follow.
We have a godless, self-serving leadership and representation in Washington. These "public servants" make laws for us but are careful to exempt themselves from these same laws. In our last election we traded our freedom for perceived security, and even though we cry stop now, our leaders continue with their tyranny. What a price to pay for turning from the hand of the Lord to the hand of government. "He who willingly sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither and loses both." - a founding father quote.
