HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY
BUT ARE WE TRULY FREE IN THE UNITED STATES?
I am reminded on this great day, the magnitude and burden we must shoulder that in celebrating our independence from a tyrant king oppressing those choosing a different path. It is ironic that inside the boarders of a once truly great nation we must ask the question, are all of her citizens free from oppression?
I contend that as long as a nation allows one citizen to subjugate another, freedom is but an illusive dream and we all wear the shackles dominated by false hope in a stagnate sea of acrimony. Can we not truly feel the grip of deceit as that which is called TRUTH willingly controls the minds of so many who have given up their ability to reason, or to honestly open their hearts to what they know deep within their souls is wrong? Any who claim that Truth, and yet use it as a device to manipulate for gain should heed the warnings of a once proud King – Truth while it oppresses will garner nothing but vengeance from those you think you have power over!
If you seek true Independence as we celebrate this day of reckonings, you must set free that which scares you the most. Only through liberty can your fears be met by a loving embrace of acceptance. Then…and only then… will we all truly be liberated!
I write this in honor of the countless men, women, boys and girls who had their lives taken because they chose to freely love whom they desired.
Love can never be wrong – so when will you set us Free?
Your humble servant – Todd M. Dobson
