The Reason for the Quote

"These are not great days: these are dark days - the darkest days our
country has ever lived."
Anthony Justin McAtee

No, I have not forgotten about The War for the Confederacy or the Great Depression or any other of the numerous hard times in American history. These are not the darkest days because of the amount of sadness or obstacles which America is currently facing; these are the darkest days because we have lost everything but the embers of the faith which allowed America to surmount the sadness and obstacles it has encountered.

These are the darkest days because America no longer supports liberty and justice for all. In spoken words, yes, but not in deeds. Consider the unborn whom are murdered everyday. Think about the murderer who instead of having the electric chair as justice calls for, he lives off the taxpayer dollars in a state prison for the rest of his life. Reflect upon the amount of money the government steals from its people every year and bestows to illegal immigrants and the sluggards. (As Thomas Jefferson said, "A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.") (And as James Madison said, "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on the objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.") Where has freedom and liberty gone to? Not too the unborn, not too the wife who's husband was murdered, not to the people of these United States of America, it has gone to the abortion clinics, the murderers, and people who do not support this Nation.

These are the darkest days because people no longer stand up and speak out for the truth. "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." (Thomas Jefferson) Why have people of good conscience remained silent? They have been silenced by force--The War for the Confederacy--or by threat--Roosevelt's Court Packing Scheme--and now since the government has taken over the Educational System they’re silenced by ignorance. The few who escape this petri dish and speak up are thought to be nutcases or radicals and therefore they remain silent and tyranny grows.

Lastly and most importantly these are the darkest days because we are no longer "one nation under God". For our faith has been picked away piece by piece and inch by inch until all that is left are small candles in various corners. And now "under God" refers, to "under Government". This lack of faith is the mortal blow which we can recover from in only one way.

The way to once again be a great nation is by once again teaching our own children and not letting the state imbibe them with falsehoods and half truths. To once again speak out for the right instead of supporting the lesser of two evils with our votes. To once again resist and, "never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense." (Winston Churchill.) And above all to once again know what we believe and why we believe it, if we do this.and stand firm in our Christianity there will be no stopping us. "One man with courage is a majority." (Thomas Jefferson.) "And Jesus looking on them said, with men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." (Mark 10:27.) Then I will and only then will I agree with Winston Churchill; "These are not dark days: these are great days--the greatest days our country has ever lived."
