What a difference 20 years makes right?

20 years ago, Ronald Reagan said “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down these walls!”.

Thanks to that peaceful revolution, the border between East and West Germany fell, the Cold War ended, and Germany was reunited.

When he was President, the economy was great, inventions and new innovations were cranking out fast, and families were living well and enjoying Conservatism in America.  Are you like me, wishing we could go back to the Reagan Years?  I get sad when I realize how far off the American path we’ve stumbled thanks to the Progressives and Liberals, who are all hell bent on “fundamentally changing” America.  What about the rest of us who like America just the way it, faults and all?  The Progressives and Liberals have tricked alot of people into thinking its OK to support their ideals and agenda.  I honestly worry about the people blindly following Obama and the Liberals.  They’re like fish who won’t know they’re wet.

I think it’s time for us to say: “Obama, tear down this wall you’ve build between us, the Media we’re supposed to trust, and the Government we’re supposed to control!”

20 years ago, I was 16. I was working part time, going to school, and engaged to a gorgeous guy whose heart I would stupidly break the following spring.  I wore ripped Guess jeans, neon accessories,  carried my “walkman” everywhere I went, and I assumed everything would always stay the same.

I took for granted the fact that I live in the best nation on earth: America.  I think we’ve forgotten what it means to live here and what it took for us to become free in the first place.  We take our freedom and democracy for granted. We’re lazy about voting, we’re not paying attention, and we have become complacent.  Maybe I could and should put all that in past tense: We were lazy about voting, we weren’t paying attention, and we were complacent.

It does give me tremendous hope that we are waking up and standing up to the scary things happening to us, by our own Government.  We’re still acting quite helpless though – and we’re not! We can stand up and demand real change we can believe in: a change BACK to real Conservatism in America.  We can, and should, pray for America.  Please read 2 CHR 7:14, it’s powerful and you should pray over it.

Glenn Beck has said over and over that the only way to save our America is to become the Christian, God fearing, Courageous People we were back then.  The rest will fall into place!

Our nation has no plans to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall. Obama has chosen to skip it!  (see my previous Blog today)

Other celebrations being held include:

http://www.mauerfall09.de/en/home.html

and many more.  If my nation won’t have a Celebration, I’ll have one of my own at home.  I’ll look at past photos, and say a prayer for our freedom.  This is what our nation is coming to I suppose, which is why we must keep spreading the truth, exposing the Progressives, and praying for America.

On this 20th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall, think back – Where were you?  What was your attitude about life in America versus how it is now?

<– Lord, we need another Reagan in the White House, quick! Amen.

Why is Obama refusing to accept the personal invitation of the German chancellor and attend festivities marking the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall?

Ronald Reagan worked hard and helped end Communism in Russia. I clearly remember hearing him yell “Mr. Gorbachev, Tear down these walls!” It was a huge victory for freedom and for America.

I think it’s pretty clear why why Obama is refusing to celebrate that! It would endorse American triumph and superiority! Obama doesn’t endorse “triumphalism” or the idea that America is “superior” to any country anymore.  To endorse triumphalism would put America above other nations.  He has already been advocating his new “internationalist” and “socialist” idea that we are equal to, not above other countries.

Rick Richman of Contentions says:  “President Obama has reportedly informed the German government that he will not travel to Berlin on November 9 to participate in the 20th-anniversary celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall. It is an unfortunate decision on multiple counts.

First, it is another slight to another European ally – one that is going all-out to celebrate the event. The invitation to Obama was extended personally by Chancellor Angela Merkel last June. . . . .

He also added it would  be “an opportunity for Obama to give a speech in which he does not apologize for his country but celebrates the triumph of freedom that has been the driving force of American history from its beginning through his own election. . . .”

Now, Obama can’t have that, after all he is trying to “fundamentally change America” from One Nation under God, to a member of the Global community, under a Global Socialist and Communist Government.

We’ll pass on your evil agenda, Mr. President! We AMERICANS are Proud of the fact that we helped end Communism, and it ought to be celebrated!!

If you think Obama should go to the Festivities celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Fall of Communism, *click here* to send a special tweet to Obama!
