Letter to the Editor: Concerned for the state of our union

Recently, while driving around Newton, I counted over 100 flags being flown. Last weekend, I drove to central Missouri and I was surprised by how many flags were being flown and on display. I think this might be a sign of the concern for the state of our union. Our society and country is a mess. We cannot continue down the current path and survive!

This is our generation and we are responsible to be responsive and respond. Thank God for our Founding Fathers, who risked everything to pass on to us a form of government like no other on earth. It is worth defending: Defending our borders; defending the millions of babies murdered in and out of the womb; and defending young children from sexual mutilation.

Our insane open-border policies have bankrupted many states’ education, housing, feeding, providing medical aid, etc. These services will destroy many, many services for our own citizens in time. We are trillions of dollars in debt and counting. Known rapists, murderers, child molesters, drug dealers, human traffickers and terrorists are coming in alarming numbers.

It’s high time the silent majority — we Christians, along with our pulpits-wake up, stand up, and speak up. Let’s not be like Germany and allow another holocaust!

Historians agree, if the clergy in Germany would have banded together in opposition to Hitler in the ‘30s, the holocaust would never have happened.

I also heard on TV the other night a recent survey shows eight in 10 believe the church has lost its influence it once had. If so, God help us!
