Is it Time to 'Refresh the Tree of Liberty?'
American Thinker ^ | December 19, 2015 | Jeannie DeAngelis

Posted on 12/19/2015 11:58:51 AM PST by jazusamo

Thomas Jefferson was aware that "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

Now, by doling out what little is left of America's wealth to foreign interlopers, those that fit into the tyrant category are shaking the tree of liberty with a decision that includes crediting back payments for time worked illegally in the U.S.

In other words, as part of Obama's 'fundamental transformation,' America has transitioned from a nation who once threatened to fine employers for hiring illegals into a nation crediting illegals with back Social Security payments for work done illegally.

And if rewarding illegals isn't outrageous enough, with the help of a Congress complicit in furthering the abuse of power, via a $1.1 trillion omnibus budget deal the president plans to further frustrate the efforts of blue-collar Americans desperate to find a job by awarding work visas to 3 million illegal employees.

Of late, these sorts of outrages are not the exception, but the rule. The travesty is that, while silently capitulating to unspeakable indignation, those who nurture the tree of liberty are being made to feel somehow obliged to assume a subservient position to those who either don't belong in this country, or who are heading here to inflict harm.

In hopes of directing the masses, Barack Obama subjects our nation to a litany of course-corrective sermons, where he who knows nothing about "American values" lectures endlessly about "American values." Clearly, this ongoing effort is not to cultivate freedom, but rather to deconstruct the American view of the world in hopes of helping the stubborn to see America 'not as it is, but as Obama and his ilk believe it should be.'

Why attract the attention of DHS?

Is this even conditioned upon whether they paid into the Social Security system? Or do they get this for blatant under the table paid arrangements too?

Ha.

Trump and Cruz are doing a service to the nation by allowing voting to fix the problem. Only thing giving me any hope for our future.

If we go to the right authority, which is God, Caesar’s authority will eventually discover that it is founded on quicksand and that it will dissolve. We won’t have to raise a finger; it will be utterly unnecessary. It will destroy itself quite readily as God shunts it to hell in the supernatural realms.

It is for us to stay calm, persevere through trials, and keep believing in God’s promises.

Yes, yes - you’re quite right ...

And, as I recall ...

Even while they were being marched to the gas chambers and crematorium ovens, the German and European Jews were saying to one another in the lines: “Shhh! Be quiet! Don’t antagonize the guards, and we will be just fine.”

Yup. We better not make too much noise as the treasonous bastards destroy our country, confiscate our wealth, dispossess us of our homes, our guns - and, eventually, our lives. Don’t want the mean old SS guards at DHS to put us on some list. That would be so “un-American” of them.

Sigh.

Oh chill, my point was there are better ways of doing things then shooting yourself in the foot.

So, as it turns out 2008 was not the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs for the homeless; it was not the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; it was not the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth.

Instead it began a lingering moment of discontent where people in this country and around the world are becoming suspicious, distrusting and downright hateful towards their fellow man.

But, what the hell; he has done his work as he sees it and we may indeed be witnessing the collapse of the greatest country this world has ever known.

There’s no “may be” about it. We are witnessing the collapse.

I was joking with a friend the other day about the “once you go black you’ll never go back” remark we used to laugh at when we were young. I said, as it has happens, for this nation, it is no laughing matter. I truly believe that this country, having elected the monster Hussein, twice, primarily because of racial reasons, and giving him and his Marxocrats total and unchallenged control of everything, will never recover. Never. Ever.

Went and sat in the very church that Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Richard Henry Lee, George Wythe, Patrick Henry, and George Mason worshipped and prayed. Bruton Parish church in Williamsburg contemplating what our founding fathers must be thinking looking down upon us and surely saddened by what they see.

Outside in the graveyard I envisioned them rolling over in thier graves.

Not with a disorganized leaderless population faced with well led organized alien invaders.
