In the final analysis, the last line of defense in support of freedom and the Constitution consists of the people themselves. If the people want to be free, if they want to lift themselves out from underneath a state apparatus that threatens their liberties, squanders their resources on needless wars, destroys the value of their dollar, and spews forth endless propaganda about how indispensable it is and how lost we would all be without it, there is no force that can stop them. The time has come to act on these words. May future generations look back on our work and say that these were men and women who, in a moment of great crisis, stood up to the politicians, the opinion-molders, and the establishment, and saved their country. 


- Congressman Ron E. Paul, 2008.

The sermon which I am preaching this morning in a sense is not the usual kind of sermon, but it is a sermon and an important subject, nevertheless, because the issue that I will be discussing today is one of the most controversial issues confronting our nation. I'm using as a subject from which to preach, "Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam."

Martin Luther King was born on January 15, 1929, but his birthday is observed as a Federal Holiday on the 3rd Monday in January.  Dr. King is remembered mostly as a civil rights leader, but he was an outspoken critic of the war and more importantly of the values of the American Society.   He was a modern-day prophet in the true Biblical sense.
