Dear Children,
The nation has caused me to ponder issues which affect our family. The country is run by the corrupt, causing the people to mourn, yet it was the people who allowed this to happen in the first place. In the case of our current President, I am not convinced people truly believed in him so much as burned with an obsession to be a part of history. To be one who helped this nation ‘change’ in a radical fashion. Some now regret their choice. I’m not certain many realized the actual change would be the undoing of this country, its liberty and its freedom.
What troubles me is the lack of unity. So many shouting their opinions, grabbing what they can, suggesting twisted versions of the problems already in play. There are a few who are working to awaken the people to the original principles of the Constitution, but it’s an uphill battle. Too many are asleep.
This is why I thought it important to share something I feel, as your father, you should know. Principles which I ask you to study out in your minds—to find the answers for yourself. It’s critical for you to stand upon your own beliefs. I want you to own your knowledge and not rely on being spoon fed by those around you.
In my opinion, this nation can never stand without two vital pillars: Truth and Virtue.
The country and its political systems are now run by those who depend upon secrecy and deception to perform their labors. They wave their right hand in our faces as the left hand breaks our laws and violates our Constitution. Try and find a man or woman who says what they mean and mean what they say. It can hardly be done, if at all, within the public offices of this country. Where are the good men? Where are the wise men? Where are the men of integrity and service? They have all gone the way of the grave or have been labeled the outcasts of society. They are mocked, spat upon and deemed of no value. In their place reside the vipers who weave their forked tongues of mischief, speaking and shaking hands behind closed doors, accepting stolen monies for deeds any good society should punish to the fullest extent the law allows.
This is what you have inherited as your future.
We value a piece of paper we call a degree more than knowledge that is learned. We favor men who’s sole purpose it to interpret the law to fit the demands of their lusts and the lusts of their taskmasters, rather than the honest, open and hardworking citizen who cares for the welfare of his neighbor.
Shame on us.
We must value truth to love it. Only when the truth is loved will it become important. Only when it becomes important will the evil be exposed, for lies all eventually come to light if you introduce the truth. Lies cannot stand and only those who demand the truth of all things will have the passion, the courage, the boldness to stand against the evils of the men who lead and direct this nation.
Children, learn to love the truth. Embrace it. Live by it and cleave it to your breasts. It will protect you in dire times and in the midst of darkness. Nothing is sweeter than the truth. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Talk true and open with your fellow men and let come what may. Do not fear the consequences of truth. Weak hearts waver in the presence of a bold truth when they are guilty or harbor evil intents. Support those who speak the truth. Seek out those who live by truth themselves. Watch for the fruits of their labors, because in this will you know the hearts of men. Good fruit cannot come from a bad tree.
Live a life of Virtue. The world we live in is saturated with immorality and perversions greater than the Earth has ever known. You will have people question the validity of this essential attribute of any good society that hopes to last. Some will interpret its definition and seek to create a compromise. We live in a nation that murders its children and holds the violation of a woman as nothing more than an inconvenience. Those guilty will not escape judgement, whether in this life or in the next. There is only one standard for virtue and that is God. There is no compromise. Search the Bible, as did our founding fathers, and know that only a nation which supports virtue will be supported in turn by their Maker. We can be blessed to be sure, for God loves all his children, but we cannot hope to have the blessings or protection he reserves for those who love Him and keep his commandments.
This nation has supported and loved men of foul dispositions and immoral character. Men who violated the sanctity of marriage with harlots and consider it of no consequence. So I ask you to ponder this: how can we honor a leader who does not honor his own flesh? If he will cast aside the most intimate of promises, the vows he makes of his own free will and choice to his own wife in the presence of God, angels and witnesses…then why would he hold to the vows of his public office? Though the matter may be a private one, the habits, intentions and heart are also used in public.
He cannot be trusted.
Our country and communities are sick. The future is in your hands. Make a stand. Search your heart and know what you believe. Know that if you do the right things for the right reasons, loving God above all, He will preserve and protect you. If this country is to be saved, it will be through those who hold these two pillars as part of their foundation.
May God bless you and preserve you,
Your Father.
