America is engaged in a new full-scale war, one with a mission other than to protect and defend our beloved homeland. The battle is offensive in scope and it’s being waged on our own treasured soil as opposed to the real estate of another’s.

Our combatants are all volunteers, with uniformity, yet without uniforms. The members respect rank structure and obey orders, yet no specific oath or specialized training applies. Weaponry is not high-tech and there’s no need of specialized aircraft or night-vision goggles. Capable warfighters need only employ that which is inherent at birth and enhanced through life with its subtle improper influences. Regrettably, and to our hurt, God and his own are the mistakenly conceived adversary.

Our nation, under liberal Democrat leadership, declared this war. The Bible and believers of all persuasions are targeted to be despitefully contended with. If not war, why the chicken sandwich pronouncement, why the blasphemy, why the symbolic removal of God’s influence and his myriad blessings from our land? Well-funded and highly organized special interest groups under protective cover are busily at work. They threaten legal action at every turn seeking to eliminate his Ten Commandments along with those memorable sacrificial crosses and peaceful manger scenes. Godly fear and gratitude are passe as we live life as it becomes us naturally. Jesus Christ has long been expelled from our schools and of late from essentially every public domain save when we as a people are under attack or duress. Now, we may have gone too far in our indifference and purposed rebellion.

Rejecting God’s word, Democratic Party leaders support and will continue to brazenly uplift same-sex marriage. Most anything goes nowadays and modern liberal leadership openly promotes casual sexual activity and heralds free distribution of birth control measures at taxpayer expense. Regarding birth choice, the lifegiver or little one’s view matters not as abortion’s end is nowhere in sight. Truth is to be trifled with while Mother Earth worship is exhorted under the guise of green. God-placed natural resource extractions are restricted if not banned via shunning oil and clean coal technology. Liberal elected representatives refute divine sustenance over God’s created planet.

Spiritually ignorant Democratic leaders are jeopardizing America, thus is it any wonder things are spiraling out of control? Wickedness prevails as absolute lunacy begets horrific violence along with the most horrendous increased incidents of missing and exploited children. Acts of God, such as drought engulfing 80 percent of the land, wildfires, floods, tornadoes and unbearable heat, are not getting our attention. Gas has doubled in price of late, food is already high and unemployment exceeds 8 percent. The God-designed family unit is lampooned and one’s own eternal consequences are of no concern. Under orders, there’s no surrender, no retreat, we advance.

No, elected Democratic Party representatives are not entirely responsible for conditions. Yet, with their wanton antagonistic agenda and cover from beholden media the country continues evolving from bad to worse. With fresh leadership and God’s help our nation can reclaim its former greatness, economically and otherwise. So, America under God or no, the selection of your government’s representatives reveals your decision and your desired consequences.
