It is the year 2015A.D. A man walks out of his house on a beautiful autumn morning with a cup of coffee and takes a seat on his deck, determined to enjoy the brilliant radiance of the sun as it slides lower on the southern horizon. There won’t be many more days like this to enjoy with the approaching winter, and he smiles at his fortune this day.
As he sips, he glances up at his flagpole to see the flag proudly waving in the gentle breeze. A tear forms in his eye as he remembers what used to grace this very pole; Old Glory. Today, however, there is no glory save for the fact that he at least still breathes the air currently inhabiting his lungs, air that may turn bitter and acrid at any moment.
The flag he sees now bears no resemblence to that which he had pledged allegiance to countless times as both child and adult. What he sees now chills and saddens him. It is an aberration which is certainly never going to win his heart, and one which he simultaneously feels will numb the memories of his children to the greatness that was once the United States of America.
He sees a meaningless cloth bearing a conglomeration of red and white stripes, green and red bars, and a maple leaf. No stars are present. There are no more states, united or otherwise. This is the flag of the North American Union, whose borders shall run from the Bering Sea to Guatemala, north and south, and from Atlantic to Pacific Oceans, east and west.
This is the “vision” that my President has claimed for my country. Make no mistake, I have been one of the most staunch W supporters out there, but when I learn of these machinations, I draw the line.
The scenario I depict would seem like a distant science fiction fantasy when I was in High School, but 2015 is not that far off, kids. I picked an arbitrary year, to be honest, for I have no proof as to when the timetable may be for this travesty, but if the current administration is striving for this it only stands to reason that, if successful, the implementaion could be fully in place by then.
I encourage anyone who reads this article to peruse the following links.
Save your country, read. Learn. Act. Do not let the United States of America die such a death, one with virtually no glory whatever. Losing her without so much as a whimper of protest would bring more than a tear to the eye; it would bring a torrent of sobs.
