"The Patriotic" "Wait...Who?"


I kissed my husband “goodbye” as he walked out the front door. “Pray! Always pray!,” I added as I saw him nodding.

“I always do,” he replied. Sleepily, I walked back inside the house and ascended up the stairs. I said a prayer for him and the other officers working with him.

It was another day of rounding up criminal illegal aliens. They knew who to get. They knew where to go. Sacrificing their lives everyday, there was just no way telling of how these illegal residents would respond to their arrests. They could be hiding weapons. They might fight back.

My husband and his co-workers are not new to sacrificing their lives. They were once serving in the military to fight for this country’s freedom. And now, they still do. They want to protect this country because we love this country, its liberty, its equality. A country whose Founding Fathers attributed everything for God’s glory. To most of us, they are “patriotic”. Not until modern political liberalism had dominated the seats in this government.

Have you seen that video taken when Nancy Pelosi was addressing a group of both legal and undocumented residents in a church, calling them patriotic?





I just have a problem understanding that. Because an illegal alien is someone who is unlawfully residing in a country or without that country’s authorization. In simple words, “he or she broke the law, either by over staying after their visa had expired, came in without a visa, someone who came in with fraudulent documentations or maybe someone who committed a crime, was ordered to be deported but failed to leave.

Ms. Pelosi had said that “it’s not right for their doors to be kicked middle of the night and have a parent taken away.” The officers don’t just take them away. They leave one parent if there are no other adults to care for the young children. If it’s only one parent, Social Services is called to take care of these children. Sometimes, the adults are not taken away but are told directions of what to do next to make sure that the children are taken cared of first. That’s hard to watch your own government official bashing the law that should discourage unlawful entry or stay.

If someone who broke a law is called “patriotic”, what makes that of the officers from Homeland Security, the military, and other branches of government who sacrifice their lives to protect this country against criminals and terrorists?

The fact is that "modern liberalism" seems to cater to what will be good with their political agendas, rather than doing what is right in God's eyes. They even challenge the faith that had formed this nation of liberty. They see all religions as equal.

Liberalism can be like “the attitude that says diversity is always good, truth is negotiable, and every opinion is equally valid.”[The Case For Real Jesus by Lee Strobel, page 34].

“What has happened in modern liberalism is that the Christian ideals of liberty and equality have been divorced from their Christian context, emptied of their Christian meaning, and distorted into something they were never intended to be. In Christianity, God’s glory is the supreme good. In modern liberalism, liberty and equality have become the supreme goods – now, men are to be free – not to serve God, but to pursue their own desires. Now, men are to be equal not for the sake of justice, but in the interest of individuals and class envy.” [A Warning Against Modern Liberalism by Samuel E. Waldron; Truth for Eternity Ministries; 1998].

We need to pray for all of our leaders, starting with the President. Not only the Liberals but for everyone serving this beautiful country, "a nation that is under God" whose leaders seem to be turning away from Him.

We know that only if we humble ourselves and pray and seek the Lord’s face and turn from our wicked ways, then the Lord will hear us from heaven, forgive us our sins and heal our land [2 Chronicles 7:14]. Please don’t forget the ones sacrificing their lives every day for our freedom! For all the saints working for His Kingdom. For the true meaning of liberty that is from God! To Him be the glory!

Whether you agree or not, I respect your opinion, so feel free to comment. This was intended to request anyone who wants to pray for our leaders to turn to God. God bless.

  1. Well said. Pelosi ... now that is one person who needs prayer! She is a piece of work and is working hand in hand with the president on every level it seems. Prayer, prayer, prayer is greatly needed.

    I am grateful for our officers and our military! God bless them and their families.

  2. Working on a daily basis with the military AND the government, I can only say how true this is. I'm so thankful for those military personnel that are risking their lives on a day to day basis.
    My boss is a LTC, and he played a song for us at a farewell luncheon we had for two of our MAJ - it was a soldier telling us his story of what his daily life consisted of - that, no matter what, he would risk it all to keep his country and his family free - for he was an "American Soldier". :')
    I was almost in tears as my boss (a LTC) stood straight and had a tear glistening in his eye --- THIS was HIS life. THIS was HIS song. THIS was HIS choice. HIS CHOICE.

  3. Thank you for being strong enough to post this. The quotes are wonderful and are perfect to prove your point.

    As a Canadian family seeking permanent residency we have spent many thousands of dollars on legal fees and form fees. We have been made to prove our worth. Indeed it took my husband (a respected bio-statistican in cancer research)to gather the proofs of the international merits of his work. But we did all we had to because America is a wonderful blessed land and because we want to contrubute to it's greatness.

    I am forever grateful for those who lay their lives on the line to keep us safe. You reminded me to continue in prayer for them. Thank you!

  5. You have expressed perfectly how I feel. I too love this country. I too believe we are called to pray for the leaders of this precious US. I too watch my husband walk out into danger every morning to protect and to serve. I too believe God is total control; He will guard His people. Thank you sister, for sharing this post. God bless you and your family.
    Your sister in Christ,

  6. Thank you to your husband who has served and continues to serve this country along with so many other courageous and caring men and women.

    The matters of this country and world are disturbing to say the least and so I continue to pray and to speak.

    N. Pelosi and many others have the SAME GOD TO ANSWER TO that we do BUT they just don't know it yet!
