From Chaos to Clarity: A Generation’s Reckoning Part 1

Part 1 of a 2 part series. ________________________________________

This one is from the heart. I want this to be a message of hope—but with a warning to the next generation. Every generation must fight for freedom, truth and justice. Our 250 years of freedom is only one generation away from destruction if we don’t fight for constitutional freedom today.

The other day I was talking with a friend I’ve known since high school. We played ball together, lived life together, partied together—and saw more things than most people should have, all before we were old enough to understand most of it.

That conversation brought something back into focus—something a lot of people feel but don’t always say out loud.

“My generation didn’t grow up expecting peace—we grew up expecting something would surely kill us all.”

The Shift, Ready or Not Here We Come

________________________________________

Growing up like most people of the time, I had been involved in the major cause of the time—ecology, climate, race, antiwar. There was recognition, opportunity, people telling me I had a future in the movement. And Girls lots of girls.

But the reality didn’t match their narrative.

I recognized these people were socialists, their cause was nothing more than lipstick on a pig masquerading as causes of the heart.

At the time most everyone was involved in fighting communism. We understood that socialism was a stepping stone to communism.

In that time no one would follow a group that announced themselves as either. There had been feeble attempts that failed.

We used to sit around on the floor listening to music smoking dope talking about how we were going to change the world.

Then one day, something clicked.

“If I was ever going to change the world, it wasn’t going to be from my couch.”

So, I walked away.

Then Everything Changed

There were things going on in the world the media captured and promoted that people would mobilize against. Although no longer involved, I had many friends in the movement so I kept up to date in their actions.

The socialists had no real cause so they seized these current affairs to organize around. Then pasted them together in loosely formed groups that became nothing more than a patch work quilt of ideologies.

They saw that everyone was so involved in their personal cause that as a group they just didn’t stop to think what others believed or how it might affect them.

“So the Democrat cooperate buyout begun”

This mismatch of ideology seemed to grow until it was large enough the democrat party noticed then adopted it. They had found a large block of voters to add to the democrat party, that members easily accepted being told by party leaders that it was necessary to bring into the party to win elections.

It was whispered to the membership “never fear no one really believes in this nonsense”. Membership did not realize that their party had been taken over by the socialists, the ones who did, either retired or were rewarded greatly for their silence.

By the way this goes back much longer than most people are aware of.

Now deeply imbedded in the party, to grow and complete their takeover, They needed more voters, so they added more diametrically opposed ideologies hoping no one would notice that many of their base groups hated each other more than they hated the republican party.

Later this hodgepodge of ideologies became the radical disjointed democrat party platform you see today.

With the election of Obama they believed they had won.

The Call We Didn’t Want, But Got

So years later we were called to change the world all right—but not how we expected.

Not to carry it forward, for great change in the future, but instead to bring it back—to a time when there was right and wrong, good, and evil. To a time things made sense.

Our generation had a choice; would we be the generation to fight against socialism and the destruction of our republic or would we just let it go to make it easy on ourselves.

You see we were the generation that was old enough to remember when life in America was good and right, and still young enough to see new possibilities that laid ahead of us.

We lived the history but grew up in the change.

We were witnesses to a shift—and now we are responsible for what comes next.

“We were the last generation that remembers what normal looked like in America—and the first to have to explain why it mattered.”

Tomorrow in Part two of my series, I will show you hope from an unexpected source.
