I am Proud to be a Christian.
I am Proud that I have been given the grace to embrace the faith that Jesus Christ suffered and died to pay the price for the fact that I am not inherently a good person.
I am Proud that I have friends and family who are black and brown and yellow. I am Proud that they are my friends not because the ACLU says that I have to tolerate them but because we share the common link of our Lord Jesus Christ and the morals and values He taught.
I am Proud that through my belief in our Lord Jesus I am able to attempt to walk in His footsteps although I falter on a daily basis, I still try.
I am Proud that I served my nation faithfully for ten years in the US Navy.
I am Proud that I have not succumbed to the “long walk through culture” and that only by embracing my Christian beliefs have I avoided the trappings of political correctness.
I am proud that I know that because man was made in God’s image that we are all equal, not because the ACLU says so.
I am proud that I am made in God’s image because it does not leave me with the empty feeling of the atheist who believes we are just intelligent animals.
I am Proud that the combination of my faith and common sense gives me the ability to distinguish good and evil and to have the ability and will to fight evil.
I am Proud that the communist left view me as dangerous because I will fight them to re-establish the Judeo-Christian based morals and values that this country was founded on.
