If you’re like me, you’re pretty sick of the biased, left-leaning, mainstream media which goes way out of its way to paint a very negative picture of a world that hates and despises the United States for everything we are. Our global image is said to be that of a nation driven by greed and power. It is reported that the world perceives us as a nation who exploits the people and the resources of the world purely for selfish, greedy desires. We are told that the world’s citizens suffer under the power and might of the United States military...

Once upon a time, not too awfully long ago, America was known as the ‘shining city on the hill.’ America, the most radical experiment in the history of the world, was the only nation to which people oppressed and repressed by old world systems of social classes and castes could be free of the stifling bindings engendered by those man created constraints.

Great shining city.   There are many cities, some are glorious, and some are not.  But there is one city, which have hope and shines with bright light of love.  That shining city is United States of America.  On that hill, in that city, many disagree, many are in sorrow, many are in pain, but there is always a hope.  Hope and dignity. Freedom and prosperity.  Victory and glory, as bright light of freedom shines upon it.  God has blessed that city, gave all the fruits of love and freedom.  It started not long ago, but like a thunder,...
