Wednesday....Culture.....The Alamo? More so...Remember "Amazing Grace"

There is a metamorphosis occurring to a large segment of America. The pomo (postmodernism) that sedated our minds for so long is now wilting under the current siege of the U. S. Constitution. Many are forgetting everything they learned in college and actually resembling patriots. In short, this coup now being waged upon our Congress has awoken many, but it may be too late. Messrs Axelrod and Emanuel will likely go down as architects of the worst run government in our history and preside over an unprecedented calamity to its own political party and maybe to the country. Most every young boy in America was glued to the television set in the mid 1950s as Fess Parker walked tall in that coonskin cap as Davy Crockett. Fess Parker died today. The characters he played personified the frontier spirit of America. There's more than a little irony in that Davy had his a fill a those ornery critters in Congress and was a happy as a pig in mud when his Congressafyin was done. In the Disney version, Davy sang a song on that last night of defense at the Alamo that has eerily stayed with me (most of it) over the past 55 years. As I remember it, Davy strum his a gittar as he en George Russell (Buddy Ebsen) sang these a words that begun Farewell to the mountains whose mazes to me were more beautiful far than Eden could be and concluded Farewell to ye all. In the land of the stranger, I rise, or I fall. America's enemies could never defeat it. As wayward as we have been, God gave us a strength to carry on for His ultimate purposes alone and His ultimate glory alone. Defeat could only come from within, not only enemies within, but from within each and every one of us. Obama, Pelosi, Reid et al are conducting a pogrom upon the Founding Fathers and their ideas, constructs and intentions while the media fiddles a cacophony of notes that are no more musical than their reporting is journalism, but the enemy is also, and more importantly, within ourselves!! If they fail to usurp the powers of the Constitution with this legislation, we will celebrate as if we had conquered evil when all we did was stomp the first rat of many to run at us from under the woodwork. If we do not prostrate ourselves before God and acknowledge to Him that we have failed miserably, as a government that is ashamed of Him, as a church that is ashamed of His gospel and as individuals, no more than I, just ashamed, then we will be overwhelmed every bit as much as the Tennesseans and Texicans were at the Alamo.
