I was watching a movie the other day called, ” John Adams “. He was  the sixth president of the United States.  The movie took place about the time when he was not president but a congressman from the state of Massachusetts. Actually they were not states back then, they were called countries. They were countries governed by their own laws.

They were convening in Philadelphia worrying about what to do with the British starting to breath down their necks. John Adams was the one who took the bull by the horns and pushed the notion of declaring our independence from British rule.

It was interesting to see how the movie showed the other side. The more personable side of John Adams, his wife and family. It showed his wife as very much a part of his life and career. Many times offering her advice and thoughts about the cases that he was trying. He was an attorney.

The one thing that stood out the most to me was the tremendous sacrifice that, he and all these men that were involved in forming the foundation for the freedoms that we all enjoy today. They were giving not from a compulsion to an office or a position to rule over anyone. They gave their fortunes, their time, and some of them, even their lives, for the freedoms of all Americans.

So it is with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He was a minister. A very humble man who loved this country. He didn’t take. He gave. He gave for all the same reasons as John Adams and our fore fathers gave. He gave for the freedom and rights of all men. Not by the color of your skin, or religion, or gender, but by the quality and character of the heart. He gave the ultimate sacrifice, his own life on the alter of freedom. He belongs on the same plane as the freedom fighters our fore fathers were. All true American heroes.

I’m so tired of listening to the whining and moaning of people who only care about the quality of their own lives and of their rights. What belongs to me is all that will ever fog the lens of their selfish eyes.

And to those who come here with no other intention but to steal the resources that this great land has to offer. To murder, rob and destroy us of the very freedoms that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., John Adams, George Washington, and all of their company fought so hard for and gave to us. We must eradicate these evil people from off our shores.

As John F Kennedy said. ” …and so my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”

I would like to end this blog with a song that I thought was very appropriate.

Somewhere in Heaven by Carlos Santana

God bless America
