We are called the United States of America, but we are not united! The question is why?
Our inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as citizens are trying to be removed by people with power who think they know better than our founders. To 'pursue' means to go after, and to be willing to personally accept any consequence of a bad choice you've made. It also means to reap the benefits of your good choices and hard work of pursuing whatever. Most people do not go after something honorable or meaningful to them because to do so would require personal sacrifice and persistent hard work.
There is a new generation in America that feels it is the responsibility of the government to give them everything they want. They have been taught to think this way by our government and by their care-givers. So, when they are not happy or in need, they form groups to rebel in the streets with their demands instead of working and sacrificing for it like most Americans have, and who end up paying with ever increasing taxes to support this 'give me,' and 'you owe me' generation. They do not acknowledge the rights of others, nor do they obey the laws of the land; they simply expect others to sacrifice for their self-centered ways and foolish ideas.
This new generation 'pursues' a life of sexual immorality, but the result is harming society as well as themselves with their homosexuality, transmitted diseases, aborted babies, divorce and adultery, and their children grow up even worse, left to themselves, defenseless and feeling confused and alone. Is this what it means to be happy?
In the later part of Jefferson's writing it says that it is "the people's right" to remove any government, or part of government, that would take our foundational rights from its citizens. If these unAmerican government leaders continue to lead on this destructive path of siding against legal, law-abiding, hard-working, self-sufficient citizens - then it is 'our legal right' to remove them. But, to do so, we need to be 'civil' about it.
To bring unity to this country it must start with true believers in God and His principles for life, liberty and pursuit of happiness; to agree on how God instructs us to live and govern. God will be pleased to work with us then. We must unite and stand up against anyone who would work against our faith in God and how we live it out according to God's Scriptures.
The real question is: What is stopping us from doing so? Could it be that we are just too busy to meet with God each morning, and to pray and then do what He says? Are we so busy acquiring worldly possessions as the means of happiness that we are not willing to sacrifice in any way for the good of society? What are we accountable to God to 'defend?' What does God mean 'liberty?' Is our own 'happiness' all our life is about?
When we, God's people, agree and actively unite - there can only be a good result; one that is good for a healthy and prospering society. God's people have the means and ways to bring this about, and the evil forces within our government and communities will do everything they can to stop it in any way they can.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their safety and happiness." -- Declaration of Independence as originally written by Thomas Jefferson, 1776.ME 1:29, Papers 1:315
