Chris Kyle, Rest in Peace

I am watching with Mike the memorial service for Chris Kyle at Cowboys Stadium. As I watch, I see the clear delineation of lines that are being drawn in this country.

On one side there is an interloper in the White House that couldn't be bothered to worry about an ambassador that was under fire, after ignoring request after request for more protection, he got his five o'clock update and then disappeared somewhere in the White House with the woman that publicly refuses to place her hand over her heart to honor the flag that flies outside the very house she lives in.

On the other side, you have the memory and legacy of a young man that grew up humble, fought hard and valiantly, and died humble. Humility came from every pore on his body. Arrogance leaks from every poor on the body of the other one.
One took an oath to protect and defend the country, the people, and the Constitution of the United States of America. The other took the same oath, and laughs it off, calling that same Constitution a document of limited rights for HIM.

One has a following of sycophants and people that want everything for free. They look at the government as one giant breast from whom everything they need flows. The other represents people who have worked for everything they've been given, are the first to respond when a friend needs a hand up, not a handout. He represents the Americans that fly their flag proudly, shake the hands of soldiers in thanks for their service, small town parades, old veterans from former wars that stand on the sides of the streets with tears running down their face, while the other stands with a wife that mutters, "All this for a damned flag?", refuses to put her hand over her heart, and has the balls to say, "For the first time in my life, I'm proud of my country." That man being laid to rest fought overseas on foreign lands so she could say that phrase and not face imprisonment.

One worships the god of HIMSELF, accepts praise offered to him on the alter of ME.

The other was raised with biblical principles. He workshipped the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jesus was his Savior and it's Jesus whose hand he holds now, with the other hand of Jesus comforting his family.

We no longer have the lower, middle, and upper class. That's been erased and replaced with THEM and US. THEM is the contingent that hate what America represents, hate freedom, hate individual accomplishment and excellence. US is the United States, who proudly stand for that individual accomplishment and excellence. If the Lord continues to tarry, that line, that chasm, will grow wider and wider.

And our house is PROUD to stand with God, with Jesus, loving and supporting our men and women in uniform, the US.
