I would like to open up a forum in the comments of this post regarding reasoning one way or the other in order to help me consider things more fully as I write the essay. So, please leave me some feedback on the issue, and send some respectable folks my way to leave their thoughts as well. Thanks to all!
America was created to be a country in which both opportunities and differing opinions could abound. Now we face the threats of politicians and hate- and fear-mongers who want only their views to be considered, and they want it to be law. If we do not act, we will soon lose all the freedoms that many have died to protect. We cannot allow this, because in America, Freedom is Mandatory.

Christians at War
Currently my mind has been called to dig a little and write an essay about whether or not a Christian can go to war with their own government and maintain a moral footing. Now, being a Christian, and also being very opinionated about what's happening in our country now, I find this important. I cannot give many details about the thoughts currently swirled together in my head, because that would lead to a long post which I do not have time for, given that I have to leave for business in half an hour.

I would suggest reading Dietrich Bonhoeffer's writings, who struggled with this very same thought during Nazi Germany. I found his "Cost of Discipleship" heavy but worth the effort.
