"Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light."
George Washington
At times it seems there is no end to evil
and as I watched the Benghazi
hearing and listened to the testimony, I wondered how any government could allow
those who served it to perish without doing everything possible to save them. As
if this was not enough to ponder the next day I learned even some in our
military had not only contributed to the deaths of those under their authority but
had allowed an Imam to desecrate all which is holy and speak words of damnation
over the fallen.
As a Christian my hope is in God and not
in government, yet who would have thought those in power would be an arm of our
enemies both in the earth and in the netherworld; but it has become just that. In
both of these tragic situations the government knowingly put its own in harms
way while not giving them all which was needed for their safety and security.
To say I am outraged is an understatement but yet as I looked at the parents of
the fallen I knew I was not alone because everyone who attended and watched had
to be feeling the same contempt for the
government who betrayed its own and thus, all of us.
Therefore, it is incumbent upon each of us
who are of a moral conscience to take up the righteous cause, not only in
behalf of all those who serve and have served with honor, but also for our God
who has blessed us with “the land of the free and the home of the brave” to
find a way to demand justice for the fallen and their families and see that all
guilty parties are held accountable, no matter how long it takes.
One way in which we can all do something, is to contact our Congress members, no matter if they are Republican or Democrat and ask that they sign onto Rep. Frank Wolf's resolution 36 to form a select committee which would have subpoena power to get all the information out about Benghazi.
After that, each of us it may take a different
path or be a different course of action but nonetheless, we must do all we can
to save our nation from those who would use their power for evil’s purpose and
whose plans are not founded in liberty, justice and the founding documents. The
one thing we can all do is pray for those who serve and their families, for
those in office with righteous judgment and for those who stand up and speak
out whether it is by voice or by pen.
I can think of no better way to close than
the words of King David as written in 2 Samuel 22:
