Fighter pilots risked everything to protect you before you were born. Soldiers in the trenches sacrificed their lives so you wouldn\u2019t have to sacrifice yours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Two defining forces offered to die for you: Jesus Christ and \u200cthe American\u200d G.I. One died for your soul, the \u200cother for your freedom.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Remember\u200d the Values<\/h3>\n<p>I \u2063was a small \u200dchild\u2063 during the\u200c recovery of this nation\u200c from World War II. I\u2064 remember how things were. People rarely complained about their situation in life or how \u201cunfair\u201d things were. \u200bThey \u200dwere not the least bit\u200c interested in robbing another person\u2019s money through the ballot\u200d box.<\/p>\n<p>Lest we forget, the government has no money of\u2062 its own. It is taxpayer money that funds necessary projects \u2062such as building roads and dams.<\/p>\n<p>Federal government spending has increased \u2062100 times \u200dfrom what it was\u200d back when I was born to the ugly behemoth it is\u2062 today. All in the\u2064 name of benefits for \u201cfree.\u201d My \u2063generation knew there was no such thing as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/out-of-staters-donate-here-to-help-texans\/\" title=\"Out-Of-Staters: Donate Here To Help Texans\">free lunch<\/a>. That\u2019s because we packed lunches in lunch pails to\u2062 go to work \u200cas carpenters, ironworkers or mechanics.<\/p>\n<p>Despite \u2063virtually \u2062no government \u2063handouts, people\u200c were still friendly to strangers and helped each other voluntarily.\u200b Families stuck together and helped each other, and nobody looked to \u2063the government for a monthly check. We were self-reliant. It was these values that made this\u2064 nation the strongest and best in the\u200b world.<\/p>\n<h3>Beware of Deceptive Forces<\/h3>\n<p>Today, powerful and deceptive\u2064 forces are\u200c attacking all the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/california-city-declares-itself-sanctuary-city-from-federal-overreach\/\" title=\"California City Declares Itself Sanctuary City From Federal Overreach\">freedoms protected<\/a>\u2062 for us by your \u2062grandparents\u2019 generation. Make \u200bno mistake about it: The\u2064 candy men offering \u201cfree stuff\u201d are from the pit of hell.<\/p>\n<p>They may appear as\u2064 angels of light to the weak-minded among us who are too easily manipulated by \u2064the evil establishment media cabal and\u2063 many in Democratic Party leadership. \u200dThis is not to say Republican\u2062 leaders are angels. Many are war-mongering agents of \u2062the \u200ddeep\u2064 state. These betrayers \u200cof traditional moral\u200c values \u200care\u2063 not your \u200bfriends!<\/p>\n<p>Please, precious children, think for yourselves. Don\u2019t let the \u2064media manipulate you\u200c anymore.<\/p>\n<h3>Think Logically<\/h3>\n<p>Does\u2062 it make sense to defund \u2063the police? How can law and order be maintained if there is no one to\u200c maintain it? And \u200bdo you really \u2064want \u200dan ever-increasing chunk of your paychecks going\u200d to pay for \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/young-woman-goes-doctors-putting-testosterone-17-removing-breasts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gender changes<\/a>\u201d or abortions or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/4-hostile-regimes-testing-joe-biden-during-his-first-months-in-office\/\" title=\"4 Hostile Regimes Testing Joe Biden During His First Months In Office\">fighting climate change<\/a>? (I\u2019ve got \u200dnews\u2063 for you: If the weather\u2064 did not change, that \u2063would \u2062be something to be concerned about!)<\/p>\n<p>Even if you aspire for Uncle Sam \u2064to fund good causes, remember that a government that is strong\u2062 enough to \u2064give you everything you want is \u200cstrong enough to take away everything you \u2063have.<\/p>\n<p>Turning the government into a vending machine is not what your grandparents fought\u200c and died for. They fought communism, fascism and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/drollinger-gods-blueprint-helping-poor-not-involve-government\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">socialism<\/a>. Today, you are \u2063embracing the very\u2064 philosophies we opposed\u2062 and fought against.<\/p>\n<h3>Seek\u2063 Higher \u200dAuthority<\/h3>\n<p>We live in a \u2063bipolar political era. \u200dIn my generation, \u2064it was the Democrats \u2063who embraced constitutionally protected <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/fbi-colluded-ukrainian-spy-agency-big-tech-censor-americans-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free speech<\/a>. Now they oppose it.<\/p>\n<p>Since \u200dit can be confusing to know who stands\u200d for what\u2064 anymore\u2064 and why, let\u2019s invoke a higher authority. Remember what Jesus said: \u201cGoats on the left, sheep on the right.\u201d And Jesus told Peter if he wanted to catch fish, try it from the \u2064right side of the boat. He did, \u200cand filled the boat. Ecclesiastes 10:2 \u200csays, \u201cThe heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the \u2062fool to the\u200d left.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Need I say more?<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s \u200dnot what I have to say; it\u2019s what is said in Scripture. We need our laws to mirror those time-tested guidelines rather than trying to reinvent the wheel in terms\u200d of everything \u201cwoke.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instead, I say, wake up!<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/miles-anonymous-taylor-accidentally-exposes-the-fraudulence-of-the-mainstream-media\/\" title=\"Miles 'Anonymous' Taylor Accidentally Exposes the Fraudulence of the Mainstream Media\">op-ed<\/a>-young-americans-must-learn-lessons-taking-leadership-country\/&#8221;>Op-Ed: Young \u2064Americans Must Learn These Lessons Before Taking Up Leadership of Our Country<\/a> appeared first\u2064 on \u200b <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I worry for our nation&#8217;s future as my generation passes leadership to younger individuals lacking a proper education in American history.
