It’s a well-done scene and makes you think long and hard about which pill you would choose. On the one hand, Neo has a good life going and even though it may not be real, it is the only reality he knows and would ever know.  It is secure and fulfilling and peaceful.  On the other hand, there is the truth, and the responsibility and consequences that would result from it.

Sometimes I feel like we’re in own version of the Matrix.  The truth is available and is often times right at our fingertips, but many of us choose to ignore or reject it . We prefer the security of blissful ignorance.  We let conventional wisdom think for us, accept state-run media coverage as fact, allow well-funded, corrupt institutions and organizations to mislead us and vote for politicians that lie to us.

Once upon a time, Americans knew and accepted the truth.  We saw through the corruption, lies and insidious plots of our enemies both foreign and domestic.  We witnessed first hand the evils of collectivism and the empty promises of socialism.  We fought against these evils with our hearts, minds and lives.  We sacrificed because it was important, and we knew that the freedom that our Constitution guarantees is rare and worth preserving.

But now...now we hide behind our busy schedules. We are apathetic and comfortable.  We trust the untrustworthy.  We worship at the alter of political correctness.  We choose popularity over faith.  We mock morality and Christian values.  How uncool.  How unhip.  We vote for a President because he makes us feel good without any consideration of his experience, associations or ideals.  We surrender our freedoms because we to refuse to think critically about the issues that determine our future.  We know nothing and are proud of it.

How can America survive with such an electorate? We can't.

It is time for us to grow up and take the red pill.  We need to see that America's radical enemies are well-organized, well-funded and have infiltrated our schools, our communities, our churches and our governments.  They have taken over the Democrat party and control the White House, House and Senate.  They have made more progress over the past 200 days than they have over the past 30 years. America stands now on the brink of Socialism.  There are devastating bills before Congress right now that would hand the federal government control of your behavior, your health-care, your work, your free speech and your children.

So today, I am offering you a choice: the blue pill or the red. The blue will give you a life of simplicity and comfort while you surrender your freedom to the socialists, marxists and atheists in our government. The blue pill is the dis-information you get from NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, the New York Times, the Boston Globe, the Washington Post, the L.A. Times, MSNBC, PBS, Time, Newsweek, Hollywood, the White House, Robert Gibbs, Politicians, lobbyists, ACORN, Unions, the Czars, Ben Bernanke, GE, Tim Giethner, Hank Paulson, Paul Krugman, and everyone that attended Ted Kennedy's funeral (especially those priests). The blue pill is an easy choice. All you have to do is just keep doing what you have been: listen to the sound-bites, platitudes and lies from these sources, accept them as true and move on with your busy life.

The red pill is the truth. It comes from these sources: www.therightangler.com, www.americanthinker.com, www.newsmax.com, www.freerepublic.com, www.michellemalkin.com, www.townhall.com, www.weeklystandard.com, www.nationalreview.com, www.jewishworldreview.com, www.heritage.org and920 AM WHJJ on the radio from 10:00AM-7:00PM.  These are all quality independent sources with solid research and real thinkers.  It's not enough just to read or listen though, you have to think critically about it, challenge it, debate it and then act on it.  Once you take the red pill, there is no turning back.  Your eyes will be open and you will share the responsibility that we all have to preserve the Constitution that protects our freedoms.

I took the red pill a long time ago.  I have watched our enemies make the slow march through our institutions and corrupt the values and ideals that we held sacred for so long. I watched them lie and win elections.  I have watched them for years, but I've never been this scared for our future.  Take the red pill and join me.  Our Constitution and the freedom it guarantees hangs in the balance.
