Saturday.....War On Terror...Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. Brother Michael's typing class 1965

Foyle's War was a popular television series in Britain beginning in 2002 and is also popular with those who watch PBS here in America. The series was built around a man, Christopher Foyle, who wanted more than anything to serve his country in Britain's military but was forced to stay at his position as a police Detective Chief Superintendent throughout the war. If you follow the series, you see that he served his country in a more valuable position where he was. America's Rosie the Riveter was more than a 1942 song and more that an icon. She existed in every women who worked in factories during WW II replacing the men who went to the service. This present War On Terror is no different in that an involved citizenry is not an option but a necessity. One only has to look to Vietnam to see how important the full support of the people is. Expanding a little bit on last night's blog on Facebook, America needs an informed citizenry and excessive time spent in anything takes away from the work that needs to be done. It is not for lack of information sources for one cannot walk away from the current events section of Barnes And Noble without seeing, face out, a half a dozen (bare minimum) excellent books on any one of a number of subjects relating to our problems today. Replace the television with radio and you cannot help but join the conversation. Replace Facebook with realclearpolitics.com and you will get the same result. I know what it is like to follow a college football team with intense passion and I know what it's like to be a Steeler fan but, for what it's worth, I barely pay attention to Pitt football anymore and I haven't seen a series of NFL football in well over a decade and don't miss a thing. This political revolution that is taking place, this convulsion at the thought of the ideology that has taken over the reigns of our government  has been primarily led by women. They homeschool their kids, and their husbands, while reading and learning on their own. They speak up at school board meetings. They are running for public office and winning. They are everything that Hillary pretends she is. They pray for their children and this is their most important function for the youth of today are under an assault such that I never experienced...and I lost that fight! It's no secret and has been repeated often that ideologies that hate America and what it has stood for know that they must get to the children first or they will have no hope. It's an exceptional youth that overcomes the hype, the candy and indeed the lies that they live within as a fish lives in water. And yet, they are out there. Many have gone into our military, others utilize college to enable them to serve God and others get a job and work with the same ethic that built this country. Difficult times are ahead for a perfect storm is brewing. It is fashionable, amongst the fashionable, to ridicule those who believe in God but it is the God ridiculed that gives the strength to the women, to the mothers, to the fathers, to young and old minds. It is God that holds back evil and God that those who ridicule will have to give account to. It is God who opened our eyes to see Him, and ourselves. It is God who overwhelms us with His love and mercy, His justice and power, His design and providence and it is God, and God alone, who will determine if America will humble itself before Him and whether we will stand or fall in the days to come.
