OFF THE WIRE
by Becky Kress
Across America sheriffs have stated their intentions to stand with the people should Obama and his power grabbing administration pass unconstitutional laws regarding our second amendment rights.
God bless those patriots!
It must be a thorn in king Obama’s side to see that many American’s have the audacity to stand against him instead of kneeling at the altar. Maybe they weren’t expecting it. Maybe they thought there was enough reality t.v. and Hollywood debauchery to keep American’s occupied and complacent. They did not count on the sheer numbers of patriots who would wake from their slumber and recognize, finally, that they weren’t crazy, that America was being destroyed from within.
In the county in which I reside, the sheriff is elected by the people. Any citizen among us may enter that race (of the people) and the voters decide who they want to be the single most powerful law enforcement officer in the county. While I am not familiar with the rules everywhere, I will assume it is much the same all over the country. Certainly the state of Delaware holds elections for the sheriffs that hold the post in each of their three counties. Apparently no one has defined the term ‘law enforcement officer’ to Beau Biden, Attorney General in Delaware and son of foot-in-my-mouth Joe Biden. AG Biden has issued mandates to commissioners that Delaware sheriffs no longer have the power to arrest people. Fighting to represent the people who elected him is Sheriff Jeff Christopher of Sussex County.
According to Christopher he stands alone; the other two sheriffs will not stand with him. Cowards! Are they afraid to stand against Biden? Are they serving according to the will of the people? Or do political expediency and self interest trump doing the right thing?
At Gettysburg, President Lincoln made an impassioned speech regarding the sacrifices made by Americans who fought for what they believed was right.
“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
…. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
Before this and after, so many of our men and women died to protect what we hold so very dear. Freedom is NOT free. As Ronald Reagan warned, freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. Will we be the generation that loses it?
