America - Remembering God's Country

Today, we Americans celebrate a nation
that no longer exists except in our
rear view mirrors.

Today, as I think back on all the July 4th's I have seen through the years, I cannot help but be thankful that I have lived during some of the best days this country has ever seen....and sadly, probably the best this country will ever see again.

I have watched the decline of this country since prayer was taken out of the school system, since the assassination of JFK, since George H.W. Bush's NWO speech, and especially since 911: the globalist's planned and executed pretext to rob us of our freedoms and ride us to war after war.  

Today, we Americans celebrate a nation that no longer exists except in our rear view mirrors. We are no longer a nation under God or the land of the free and the home of the brave. We are a nation under the globalist's heel and are rapidly taking on the likeness of their God, Lucifer.

I mourn for you, America, like I mourn for the death of a very dear friend. I am so very thankful that God allowed me to be born when I did, so I could know the best of you.

"If you could go back to any time period in your life, what time would you choose?"

I always say around 1960 because those days were a good time in middle class America.

Hopes and dreams were attainable. Family was a unit that shared the same hopes and dreams with never a thought that they would cease to be a unit for life.

Boys were raised to be men feeling proud to be taking the role as protector and provider.

Little girls dreamed of the day they would have a family themselves where they could be the one to come along side their husband as an equal partner working together as journey mates through life.

It was a time when girls were shy and showing less skin was more sexy than nudity.

Sweet 16 and never been kissed was not so odd. Being homosexual was odd, hence the term "queer".

It was a time when God was honored in school and in this country whether you were Jewish or Christian or of any other faith.

Family values and treating one another fairly was the practiced 'religion'.

Yes, those were the good ol' days.

Washington and Lincoln.jpgCLASSROOM MEMORIES

As I think back to my days as early as 1959 when my first grade class was being taught "The Pledge of Allegiance" line by line, repeating after our teacher, I smile within myself. I remember looking at the far wall of the class room where to the left was a picture of Abraham Lincoln and a few feet from that was a picture of George Washington. For some reason I felt secure with their strong representation overlooking our class everyday all day long.

I know this may sound like deep thoughts for such a little girl, but nevertheless, I had those thoughts and more.

To me the pictures of the men on the wall represented honesty, integrity, and strength of courage to do what is right, and strength and fearlessness to follow it through. I felt that we were in good hands. We were being taught in the classroom those values.

We were being taught that we lived in such a nation that was still one nation under God. I had no reason to feel any other way. We felt safe in the wholesomeness of God being honored in our class and the world around us. Our families also bore the model of a safe place under a protective man.

As the teacher repeated each line of the Pledge, I thought about each word as it came out of my mouth. I knew that for myself, I was not pledging my allegiance to any flag, but to God and to all that He stood for.

That flag represented to me what made a great nation and what could keep a nation great. Not great as in the sense of instilling fear in other nations, but great in the strong representation of a nation of people who demonstrated the characteristics of God..the same characteristics of a good father who provides and protects and who is loving, who always takes the stand for righteousness and boldly says no to evil.

When I said the "Pledge" and I got to the words, "one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all", I was talking to God, like the Lord's prayer of "let your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven". In fact I could not separate the thought of God from the Pledge because God was honored daily in my classroom as was God honored in the "Pledge".

Through the many days of many years of saying "The Pledge", I wonder if there was a single time that I was not thinking the same thoughts as I have written here. I was proud of my country, not because it was powerful, but because I loved God and I was thankful to be in a land that seemed to honor him.

Our everyday in class of that first grade year began with honoring God by prayer, by thanking God for our country as we said the "Pledge" followed by the singing of the first and last verses of "America" which speaks of God and our country. I still get 'goose bumps' when I sing these lines:

My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From ev'ry mountainside
Let freedom ring!
Our fathers' God to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright,
With freedom's holy light,
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God our King.

The other children may have not been thinking of the words, but I don't think there was a single time that I was not moved in spirit toward God in thankfulness as I sang that song. I thought about every word.

I miss you, America. Maybe you are somewhere in God's Heaven. If we should meet again, I shall run barefooted in your sweet rain washed streets to the park where I shall roll in your freshly mown grass to the pond where I shall feed the ducks and geese, where I shall watch the sun set one more time over your purple mountains majesty.

May God shed His Grace on thee.

First Comment by Dan: June, now known as "Pride" MONTH with it's own parade - is gradually replacing the 4th of July as America's big summer "family" celebration.

I thought the stores would be closed today, with little traffic, and flags all over the place.  So when I emerged for a drive, I found every single retail store and chain restaurant open, and parking lots full as ever.  

Not a flag in sight on my block - which used to festooned with 'em on the 4th - during the Bush administration.  I can't say I miss that tragically misplaced kind of patriotism at all.    The first flag I saw today was at the twink's house down the street.  During June he had his fag flag
hanging from the pole.  June, now known as "Pride" MONTH with it's own parade - is gradually replacing the 4th of July as America's big summer "family" celebration.

Since the stores were open I decided to drop in the least crowded grocery store.  In the checkout I asked the 50-something black lady clerk "Since when is everybody open on the 4th of July?"  
She laughed and said, "Where have you been? They haven't closed stores on the Fourth since Texas had 'Blue Laws'*.  Texas has changed a LOT since then."

Yep, Texas has changed a LOT indeed.

*Blue Laws - Ordinances in old America that banned many commercial activities on Christian holidays, and National holidays like the 4th of July.

I grew up in that era and I remember every Sunday all the people on the block would put on their "Sunday best" and go to church with some even carrying their Bibles.They were not ashamed of their faith nor did they apologize for it.

The flag meant something back then and we were taught in Cub Scouts never to let it touch the ground. Patriotism was alive and well. People were proud to be Americans regardless of their race or cultural heritage.

The family unit was also strong and after church on Sunday you would then take a ride to see your relatives or go to your grandparents home. Americans bought American products back then and would support their neighborhood store with their business even if he charged a couple of nickels more because you were helping him and his family. Back then, the Communist Party in America  was contained and recognized as the subversive entity that it was to American society and the rest of the world. Communists were the enemy of God, country, and mankind. They are called "globalists and "neo cons" today.

America, as the Communists predicted after WW2 would be destroyed from within and it was. The devil was let out of the bottle in the late 1960's along with its "doctrine of demons" that was unleashed on the American public. We all sat back and let it happen so I guess we deserve this Marxist NWO hell hole that that we still call America that now occupies our government, finance, and culture.

Comments for "America - Remembering God's Country"

Joe Ortiz said (July 5, 2014):

I was born in the early 40's, a few months before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. As a young Mexican American kid, I was raised to salute and honor the flag like all American children. I remember singing our national anthem with great pride; often welling up with tears at various ball games and special events. My teachers (and early TV shows) always spoke about the "American Dream" and that anybody could grow up to be President of the U.S. or even become a 'captain of industry' in whatever field we chose.

Later on in life, as I worked with thousands of under-privileged Latinos and African Americans in the ghettos and barrios of Los Angeles, helping them to get greater educational and job opportunities, I realized the American Dream did not really apply to to everyone, especially people of color. Yes, some of us excelled, but the majority were left behind at the starting gate.

Many years ago, I came to realize that we really should not view any differences between people of varying races, that God loved all of His children and is no respecter of anyone group or person (see Acts 10:34-35 (KJV).

I also learned that if we ever had a giant ten point earthquake, that totally devastated this country, both the surviving rich and famous would be standing together in line with the poor for a free meal. The only difference is that poor people would have lesser of a fall than the rich ones.

David A said (July 5, 2014):

Patriotism is a relative concept depending on geography. I grew up in the American South, which 150 years ago was forced back into the sphere of the United States on the shaft of a bloody bayonet. I have no love of "Old Glory". I regard it with the same emotion that a Palestinian regards the Israeli flag, or a Pole in 1939 did the Nazi flag.


Rich said (July 5, 2014):

Regarding Dan's comment about pride month, I wonder if in the future we can have months dedicated to the other seven deadly sins. Lust month would be a big one, or maybe sloth month. Stay inside kids, wrath month is almost over, get your bibs on, only two days till gluttony!.


Bill S said (July 4, 2014):

Thank you for sharing this inspirational memory by Carolyn Hamlett. I attended Mrs. Lofgren's first grade class in 1961. We did not have Washington and Lincoln on the wall, nor did we sing "My country, 'tis of thee." But we did recite the Pledge every day. I had the same deep feelings as the author. I get the same goosebumps when I sing that song. That goes for America, the Beautiful, Battle Hymn of the Republic, The Star Spangled Banner or Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty - or Give Me Death" speech. Patriotism has been maligned by people like Jeff Berwick - an atheist anarcho-capitalist - as being Statist. It is not. It is loving God and being thankful for His many mercies.

I agree with JG's comment (below) until he states: "We all sat back and let it happen, so I guess we deserve this Marxist NWO hell hole that that we still call America." How could any of us stopped it? This reminds me of folks who say, "Don't complain if you didn't vote." OR "Since we have the right to vote, we always get the leaders we deserve." FALSE.

The system is rigged and manipulated by the Elite. Many men of excellent character and competence refuse to run for office because of the deals that must be made to get elected.

Look at what happened to Ron Paul. First ridiculed, then ignored by the MSM. RINOs blocked and harassed Libertarians at every turn, resorting to voter fraud to win.

I joined the John Birch Society in the 80's, read lots of books, attended meeting, did voter education outreaches, spoke to everyone around me - as I still do - which may explain why I got fired from my job, got excommunicated from 2 churches, got divorced and live alone in relative isolation.

No JG, we did NOT all sat back and let it happen. We resisted as best we could. Unfortunately, money talks. Even fake money (nod to Anthony Migchels). We do NOT deserve this Marxist NWO hell hole that that we still call America. Just wanted to protest that sentiment...
