Amen loveliberty, yet so many people are deceived by the media with regard to what is at stake and numbed to these massive truths. Yet right now, my biggest concern is that there are in fact enough sound people, but the election may be rigged by technological machinations in place or what have you.

Praying not only that enough people come out and vote, but that the votes are tallied fairly! Praying for more lies from the other side to unravel...honestly we need more than votes, we need miracles. And should Trump win, we must pray for a sound transition into power. It is not ocer till January 20th! (OR whenever inuguration day falls!)

Thank you! Here is my post from another thread:

By the time Edmund Burke wrote his "Conciliation with the Colonies. . . ." Address to the Parliament in 1775, he laid out numbers and documentation that the economic achievement of the Colonies in America, without a government to oversee, regulate, or oppress them, exceeded the expectations of any, and were unheard of in the world to that time.

Quoting from that Address:

"The trade with America alone is now within less than L500,000 of being equal to what this great commercial nation, England, carried on at the beginning of this century with the whole world! If I had taken the largest year of those on your table, it would rather have exceeded. But, it will be said, is not this American trade an unnatural protuberance, that has drawn the juices from the rest of the body? The reverse. It is the very food that has nourished every other part into its present magnitude. Our general trade has been greatly augmented, and augmented more or less in almost every part to which it ever extended; but with this material difference, that of the six millions which in the beginning of the century constituted the whole mass of our export commerce, the Colony trade was but one-twelfth part, it is now (as a part of sixteen millions) considerably more than a third of the whole. This is the relative proportion of the importance of the Colonies at these two periods, and all reasoning concerning our mode of treating them must have this proportion as its basis, or it is a reasoning weak, rotten, and sophistical." - Excerpted, Edmund Burke, "Speech on Conciliation. . . ."
Burke attributed all of the magnificent progress in America to what he described as their "spirit of liberty." Just read the speech to find out the qualities to which he attributed that "spirit of liberty."

Today, in America, Hillary likely would place such people into her "basket of deplorables.
