One of my favorite people to quote is Sir Winston Churchill. He said many wonderful things at a time when his Country needed assurance. Unfortunately, we in this Country need assurance that our way of life can be maintained. Assurance that our elected representatives will protect our rights of free speech, freedom of religion, and innumerable other rights that too many of us take for granted. There are many special interest groups, Congressmen and women, Executive branch appointed extremists, and one socialist President that would love to stomp out peaceful dissent.
Churchill could not be dissuaded from victory. He gave inspiring speeches that contained quotes like:
“Never, never, never give up” and
“One ought never to turn one’s back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!”
Unfortunately, the Santa Rosa School District in the Florida Panhandle didn’t listen to Churchill. When faced with mounting legal bills several years ago concerning an ongoing suit from the ultra-liberal ACLU, the school system signed a letter saying that none of their employees would participate in any kind of prayer.
Now, because they tapped out and buckled under to extremists, several school staff members are facing a CRIMINAL complaint and possible incarceration for praying. How could you enter this deal with the devil? How do you let liberal extremists dictate to you how to exercise your constitutional rights? The “heinous crime” occurred after school hours, at a luncheon not involving students and at an awards banquet where a prayer was spoken by a private citizen, not a school employee.
These criminal contempt charges should be a huge wake-up call to all of us. Never sign away your rights. Never give up the fight for what is right. Never let the liberal extremists bully you into cowering away from a fight. The ACLU does not represent what makes this Country great. They are advocates for extremists, like most of the President’s administration. If you prefer a movie quote, go with “Never Give Up, Never Surrender” from Galaxy Quest. I offer that one if you don’t know who Winston Churchill is!
