Founding Father's Day

Although Father's Day is reserved for the Dad's and Grandpa's in our families I always like to think of the the holiday in a spiritual and historical sense.  Depending on your religion your spiritual father could vary but I also like to think of the Father's of our Nation, the Founding Fathers.  While a father's job is to provide, protect, and support his family the founders played a very similar role in our nation's founding.  Each one of them had to put aside their dreams and aspirations (unless founding a country was on the Bucket list) to serve their countrymen.  In many instances putting their lives and wealth on the line.  They knew that only a moral and God-fearing society would be able to rule themselves, which I guess they deemed their society able because the Constitution was ratified in 1791 and its been down hill ever since, quite literally. 

The prodical son can be applied directly to the USA.  We've been on a spiraling downward spin for the past century and a half with no end in sight.  Progressive, athiest, socialists have worked their way into high positions in our government which has allowed them to "nudge" legislation and influence the masses to conform to their eco-friendly utopian mindset.  The Founding Father's knew that society had to remain informed and active in their communities in order for the government to remain "by the people, and for the people."  Progressives, with their sly, uncanny abilities to Berney's their way into the minds of uneducated, and sheep like masses have convinced a large amount of people that the Government is on its way!  When I look back on Father's Day at what our founders have created, right after I have paid my respects to my current Dad, I can't help but think of their reaction to the country we live in today.  What still baffles me however is even though we've lost our lackluster and libertarian liberties we're still the beacon of light in the pit of darkness that is the world (and UN).  Maybe one day, hopefully in my lifetime, I can look at the times and say we've taken a turn for the better and so when I'm a father on father's day my kids won't have to worry about overwhelming debt or the fear of being blown up on an airplane and they can focus on spoiling me on the special day.
