This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
Have you ever heard ANYBODY saying, “It’s beating a dead horse!” Sometimes we feel like we are “beating a dead horse.” It seems at times like there are thousands (maybe millions) of “dead horses” out there. The question we want to ask, “Is the horse really dead, or is it just sleeping, or is it simply pretending to be asleep?” After all, if it pretends to be asleep, it could be a sound strategy to avoid a potential beating, as why would ANYBODY beat a “dead” horse? Why would the “horse” pretend to be “dead”? We would surmise that it is afraid and fearful, and willing to let SOMEBODY ELSE be the focus of any potential beatings. Unfortunately too often we would suspect that NOBODY, no horse, will stay standing to be the target of any beating. We would dare say that EVERYBODY, every horse, will pretend to be asleep. After all, it’s the safest way to insure avoidance of any possible attack. Will any horse, ANYBODY, stand proudly to defend and protect FREEDOM and LIBERTY?
We once attended an organization where EVERYBODY in attendance was handed a ROUND wooden coin-like token. On each token were two words, “TO” and “IT“. The organization was having problems getting things done. Projects needed to be accomplished. Tasks needed to be carried out. Programs needed to be managed. Plans needed to be developed. Efforts needed to be put forth. It seemed as though ANYBODY could assist in these efforts, but NOBODY wanted to step forward. Surely SOMEBODY would stand tall to assist in any way possible. But alas, NOBODY did. So, it was determined by the few group leaders, in an attempt to shake the organization’s tree of potential talents, to pass out these tokens. It didn’t take too long before the message was received by the members of the organization. EVERYBODY cannot expect ANYBODY to always do the work, because always relying upon SOMEBODY ELSE to do the work will in reality mean that NOBODY will do the work. What each member received was a “ROUND TO IT“, because for too long the standard response to any member’s involvement was always “Someday I will get a “ROUND TO IT.” So, on that day, they all received a “ROUND TO IT“, so there was no longer a need to delay involvement.
We have been shouting from the rooftop for several years warning that our Nation’s FREEDOM and LIBERTY were under attack from within our own government. Ineptitude, woke ideology, deception and corruption run rampant. Too many of our Nation’s patriots are living undercover, playing “dead”. Too many are pretending to be asleep to avoid detection from a tyrannical government and political and judicial assault. It is long past time to stand up for truth, equal justice, morality, transparency and accountability. Many of our Nation’s true patriots are currently under attack by a government’s plan to drive fear into the hearts of other patriots, forcing many National patriots to pretend to be asleep, and play “dead”.
We quoted in one of our early blogs many months ago, what Edmund Burke (eighteenth-century Irish philosopher and statesman) said. Although there is disagreement with it being one of his quotes, and although it is not the end-all reason for allowing evil to prosper, it is worthy of note. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” We will add notable attributions of the quote to Burke by President John F. Kennedy in a speech before Canadian lawmakers in Ottawa, on May 17, 1961. “Burke was sometimes exorbitant, but he was never silly; and the thing that strikes you about this saying, on a moment’s reflection, is how little sense it makes: the silence of good men isn’t the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil. The persons advancing the evil, whether in command or the rank-and-file, must be strong and determined; and the lukewarm must be either cowed into submission or willing to go along because the evil seems to prosper.” (Reuters; August 9, 2021.)
We will once again implore all true patriots, those who treasure our Nation’s FREEDOM and LIBERTY, to rise up, get involved, and make your voice heard to help save and preserve our Nation, and the Constitution and Bill of Rights, the foundations laid by our Founding Fathers and those true patriots who have followed in their footsteps through the decades. Do not be like so many “sunshine patriots” who thrive when the going is good but hide when the going gets tough. Do not believe and hope that SOMEBODY ELSE WILL DO IT! Do not wait to receive your own personal “ROUND TO IT”, for the time of action is at hand. We will end our blog quoting from the Old Testament book of the Bible. It is both a warning to those who see the danger coming to make it known, but also to those who hear the call and how they may choose to respond to it.
“If I bring a sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them and make him their watchman; and he sees the sword coming upon the land, and he blows on the trumpet and warns the people, then he who hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, and a sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood will be on himself. But had he taken warning, he would have delivered his life. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require from the watchman’s hand.” (Ezekiel 33:2-6 NASB)
