Dear Secular Progressives, Most Marxists, Some Socialists, Lefty Liberals, and Contrary Conservatives:
This is addressed to those of you with whom I have had rather lively discussions and disagreements and those yet to spar. Please know that I hold no animosity or ill will towards you, on the contrary I look at you guys as brothers and sisters in a large, loving and extremely-dysfunctional, family and you are in my prayers.
You may think: Has Conservabear mellowed or softened is she feeling a touch of guilt? NOT BY A LONG SHOT. I am still the same grouchy old bellowing bear I have always been and will remain that way. My family is in agreement that I am an equal opportunity bellower just ask them. I also have my good points. When you figure them out get back to me. Having said that I will now continue:
Some time has passed since I decided to add my bellowings to the legions of voices trying to be heard over the din of the yet other voices trying to be heard. I have read the news; internet and paper, watched and listened to the talking heads on TV and radio, and read the blogs and comments on many sites. I have come to many conclusions one of which may offend a certain group. What group is that you may ask? I will tell you it is the Secular Progressive View. Yes once again I am about to show my bias and stick up for the Conservative View though not always right is more sound than Left
The Secular Progressive View:
1. You believe the USA is responsible for most of the worlds troubles.
2. You refuse to acknowledge or support the good we do or attempt to bring to other nations.
3. You do not understand the US is full of decent caring people, individuals, mind you who actually contribute and make a difference in peoples lives whether, be it one person or many.
4. You have joined the accuse America bandwagon.
5. You may have Christian values but are very judgmental about things that require a more balanced approach.
If you want people to think about the consequences of one's actions that is one thing but to constantly drag your Country into the mud by promoting the godless and deluded is suspect. There actually exist evil doers seeking to destroy us with their misguided, misconceptions and perceptions of a Holy, Just, Merciful, Forgiving, and Loving God. Your alignment with our enemies does not help anyone see the light of Jesus. Yes, there actually exists good people with a just heart.
Yes, you should pray for your enemies and you should pray God saves the souls of these people. Pray God convicts these people and throws them from their horses as The Apostle Paul was thrown to the ground.
There will be those, however who will never see the light, they will turn away from the very truth that seeks to free them from bondage. I assure you the road is indeed wide and filled with many who travel the road to perdition. Narrow is the road with few who travel the road of righteousness. I was one of these people who traveled the road to perdition. It was only by the grace and love of God that I found space on the narrow road. There are still challenges on that road. Challenges that must be overcome. You see folks I am a person who is really imperfect and I must battle the destructive demons in my own head daily. I have paid dearly for the destructive thoughts and actions in my own life and would not wish anyone the tortures I have inflicted upon myself due to my own misguided perceptions. Praise God there are actually days when I can think uplifting thoughts and apply them to my life.
My challenge to you sir: Pray for your leaders. "For the Heart of the King is in the Hand of The Lord."
My mother always said, "Do not be so eager for the day to come when you get a new boss. You may get one who is worse" My Mom was correct. There were very few bosses, that I could respect or that I deemed fair.
Yes, America makes mistakes and we are imperfect but if not for the good and the God fearing, the moral and the just, the kind and the loving, the productive hard working ethical, regular Jane and Joe who make up this country we would not be in the place to help other nations, other people who are most grateful for our help, who desperately need our help.
To conclude: Don't be so quick to crucify America, pray for her, and act according to the goodness and generosity of your heart.
"God Bless America ... Stand Beside Her and Guide Her..." AMEN
Sincerely,
Conservabear
