Weary Soldiers for America

[Patsy Underwood]

Stress, confusion, disappointment, anger, depression, shock, distrust, disillusionment;  this list could go on and on as we delve more and more into the changes our country has taken since the “great awakening of the common folk”, just a little over 3 years ago.

 Many of us have fought the battles daily against the destruction of our freedom and we grow weary.  We attend meetings, set up rallies, work to educate others, read and listen to the leftist-media, research the truth and cry when yet another of our liberties are taken away. 

 We are weary soldiers fighting to keep the American way of life.  We are white, black, olive, brown.  We are male and female.  We are strong-willed, quiet, soft spoken, healthy or sickly, carry many burdens.  We are Christians and Jews.  We are conservative.  We are all God fearing, patriotic Americans.

 The many great volunteers of the First Coast Tea Party (FCTP) are no exception.  We all work for the betterment of our country.  During times of weariness and stress; we are on edge.  We may not react to a situation as we would have in a more unstressful and relaxing situation.  We may be more critical of each other because we know the deep devotion we all have to the First Coast Tea Party (FCTP) and especially to America.

 But, we cannot let a conflict within our ranks deter any of us from our strong and deep convictions to protect our country.  We all get our feelings hurt for one reason or another, but we must always, always remember our goals.  We must, as they say “suck it up” and continue to march forward to defeat Obama and any other politician who is not going to defend us, our Constitution and the USA.

 An organization of volunteers, such as the FCTP has had and will continue to have strong individuals who may ruffle some feathers by their approach.  But, don’t let them cause you to back away.  Remember, YOU are the First Coast Tea Party – you and the other volunteers who work so diligently.

 I love my country.  After living overseas for a few years, I know we are all very blessed to live here.  I love the FCTP and the many wonderful people I’ve met and the friends I’ve made in just these few short years.  Thanks to a wonderful friend in the FCTP, I have a new church home.  Thanks to the FCTP, I know that when I’m tired, confused, stressed, depressed or so angry that I just want to slap someone, I have friends I can call on to “feel my pain” and commiserate with.

 If you are reading this blog, you are a part of my FCTP family; A very large, dedicated family.  We work together, pray together, play together and disagree.  But, our hearts and souls are entwined to save our America.  I cherish the events we’ve produced and attended, the victories we have enjoyed and the many other great things the FCTP has accomplished all because of you.

 As weary soldiers for America, we have to continue to fight.  Take a day or two away from the constant barrage of Obama missiles; take time away from Face book, Fox News and radio talk shows.  Then, when you wake up say your prayers and feel refreshed and ready to help ensure that on November 6^th, 2012, we will all rise together victorious, having defeated the Obama machine and Reclaimed our America!  March on Weary Soldier and help the First Coast Tea Party.

Oh, Patsy, you have said it so very well.  I know that part of the "plan" for the destruction of the freedom and liberty in America is to just keep grinding us down until we are so weary that it seems useless to even try any more.  I would be so easy to just throw up our hands and say, "forget it, I'm done."  I watch the politicians and the media as they see happening the exact same things I see: The "executive orders" that destroy values and law and tradition, the lawsuits against states for daring to stand up against the federal government, the blatant ignoring of laws and the Constitution and our Bill of Rights, but they turn away and refuse to call it what it is or they report it dishonestly or not at all - or even call for more of the same -  and I wonder if it's even worth it to keep on fighting.  But then I look at my children and grandchildren and my church...and I have my answer.  I pledge that we are NOT going to lose America because I didn't do MY part, and I pray that every other patriot will continue to say and do the same.  Conflicts are inevitable, but freedom is our common cause, and if we don't stay united, then surely we will fall.  Every single day I pray not that God is on our side, but that we are on God's side, and if we keep that as our focus in saving our country, I know without a doubt that liberty will prevail.  Thank you so much for your inspiring post, Patsy.

Amen!

Now is not the time to give up! Dig down and with all we have we must do everything possible to win this election. Presidemt Obama must be defeated if the US is to survive.

Well said and points taken, it's work for us, a way of life for the other side.

Like that other carpenter, you hit the nail on the head.

Thank You for your trouble and service to the cause!

I have been deeply involved with the FCTP since the April 15 rally in 2009.  It has been a great journey, but not without hills and valleys along the way.  I have seen a lot of changes along the way and people come and go within the organization.  I am always amazed at the amount of work some people are willing to do and we are so blessed to have such dedicated people. 

You are so right, Patsy.  We are weary.  This battle has been long and hard.  And at times the enemy is not what you expect.  But when you are ready to throw in the towel, God gives you a reason to continue on.  Whether it is an unexpected encouraging note, a story of courage, a friend's hug, or your grandchild's laughter, you know that you must go on. 

Our goal from the very start was to stop the socialist train rumbling down the tracks threatening to destroy our Republic.  Now as we are nearing the end of that track, it is imperative that we work as teams to see that that rail is never completed.  The end is near and the victory is ours, but only if we continue the journey.  Thank you to all that I have been on that journey with.  I am so grateful for the many friendships that have been forged along the way.  I am sure I will encounter dissappointments along the way, but I have started this journey, and I am not a quitter, so I will be there until the end.  I know I am not alone.
