I just watched an excellent documentary on Japanese TV (NHK) of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) exactly 20 years ago. They showed all the footage of the leaders of the democracy movement. Those young East German people at the time, STILL stood up against the Soviets, the Stasi secret police, and risked a great deal. Many were arrested, many were roughed up. Some even died for it. There are paralells to the American Civil Rights Movement in the South that brought down a Leviathan of evil based just on pure grit and determintion, much like Gandhi taking on the British for his Republic, much like our own Founding Fathers who took on King George many at the risk of being hung from a big tree in an orchard by Redcoats.

No less may be demanded from us, if this so-called President really is insistent to take us down the road into some kind of funk of a hybrid of Communism and Fundamental Islam.

We have our work cut out for us going into 2010 and 2011--such may be the case of decay and totalitarianism. We will all be challenged to stand up and risk much, individually and as a group, perhaps. When and if such a pivotal time comes, may we have the strength and God's Spirit and heavenly protection.

So let it be said - so let it be understood.

We are living in the middle of a paradigm shift -

By indecision are decisions made...

We act, we fight, or the decisions will be made for us and against us.
