Their Country? How many of us know the phrase, “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country“? Maybe from a pre-1975 typing class? Back during those times it was an innocent seeming phrase from an unknown author used to teach junior high school kids to type. It was originally used to test and exhibit very early model typewriter performance and capability. I first learned it from my mother somewhere around 1961 or 1962 as I banged on her old pink Smith-Corona typewriter. I had absolutely no idea this phrase would one day be so significant regarding the relentless assault against our country and our constitution! I view the phrase much more personally now than I did back in the 60′s. I know for myself and hopefully that many other patriots will agree it should be revised to say, “Now is the time for this good man to come to the aid of My Country”. For decades Republicans and Democrats alike have been co-opting this phrase to expand their power and grow the Federal Government, always to the detriment of the country. But they use different, subtler, sneaky and redefined words. We just have not been listening close enough. Our current president and his administration disguise it daily with phrases like, “…to pay their fair share”, “…play by the same rules…”,”…level the playing field…”, or “…everyone has to sacrifice a little…” House and Senate leaders of both parties use phrases like, “… get something done for the American People”, “…our plan cuts a ‘megagozillion’ dollars over ten years” or “…come together across the aisle…” In the history of the country, can anyone name one piece of legislation that added to instead of diminishing liberty and freedom from one or more American’s? The mother... ... middle of paper ... ...ur creator in the foundation of this Christian principled nation. None of the founders would recognize the erroneous definitions applied to these words and phrases today by the judiciary. If we allow this country to slide to the left any more than it is today, this country will be gone for good in very short order. World history has proven this fact time after time and I for one do not need to ignore history for the sake of accommodating internal enemies of the country. Whether you see and accept it or not, the people behind these politicians and groups manipulating the transformation of this country are your enemies. Make no mistake; the consequence of the current trajectory of the country will not end well, but it will end ugly! It is time to take action and rewrite that phrase for good… “Now is the time for this good man to come to the aid of My Country”
