I Am Offended

I am an American and I am offended. I’m offended that my country’s history and my personal heritage is under siege. I am offended that my country’s flag isn’t respected by all who live under its protection and freedom. I am offended that our National Anthem isn’t treated with the pride and respect it deserves. I am offended by those elected to public office who have no respect for those who voted for them. I am offended by greed, by graft, by the raping of our earth for profit’s sake. I am offended by those who have no concern for their fellow human beings. I am offended because the "law" has become more important than the people it’s supposed to protect. I am offended by those who wish to destroy flags, remove statues and burn books. I am offended because it smacks of Communism and I don’t live in a Communist country. Do I?

Yes, I am offended! Aren’t you?

I am a Christian and I am offended. I’m offended by your taking my God and trying to make Him disappear... The same God our founding fathers came to this country to worship freely, without persecution... The same God we and our military look to in time of struggle and sorrow for strength and healing... The same God you’ve taken away from our flag and out of our schools. I am offended that those in our military, regardless of belief, aren’t allowed to pray or witness to their faith without punitive repercussions.

I am offended at the removing of monuments attesting to our Judo-Christian heritage. What’s next? Will all the government buildings having reference to God and His Word also be defaced? I am offended by the so-called Christians who don’t have the backbone to defend their faith.

I am offended!  Aren’t you?
