The Broad Perspective on the Growing Outrage in America
Columbia Conservative Examiner ^ | June 11, 2009 | Anthony G. Martin

Posted on 06/11/2009 11:33:11 AM PDT by Welshman007

An ill wind is blowing in America. Ordinary citizens from coast to coast are feeling a growing sense of outrage over what they are witnessing in Washington. At least one talk radio host states that the rage he is hearing from his listeners indicates that trouble is brewing beneath the surface that could erupt into the streets, not in violence, but in peaceful protest that sends a signal to Washington.

They have, as all tyrants do, miscalculated.

The scales of history and the balance of nature and nature’s God, our Father in Heaven, will ultimately bear sway.

Our is to decide which side of the balance we stand on, and with what energy of soul we are engaged.

Wow. I read your post over a second time and inserted Satan each time you spoke of “they” or “those people”. Chilling!

The best part of this was the last minute of Part 5. When he is asked if Obama will pull this off. I hope he is right.

Thanks Jeff.

The scales of history and the balance of nature and nature’s God, our Father in Heaven, will ultimately bear sway.
I agree. By their very actions, "those people" will ultimately serve God's will by helping to bring about the very things they are trying to destroy.
Our is to decide which side of the balance we stand on, and with what energy of soul we are engaged.
My first thought when I read this was:

"As for my house, we will serve the Lord"

I take comfort in the certain knowledge that my house is one of many - we are not, and will not be alone.

I wouldn’t say their agenda “cannot be stopped”.
I would say the confrontation between the elitist/humanist/satanists is becoming more imminent.

We WILL stop them, and we know who wins in the end.

What an interesting observation...

Indeed!

For some time, I have felt increasingly, well, “anxious” is about the best word I can use to describe it. “Satan” is in such a rush to implement his diabolical agenda that he no longer even tries to hide his true intentions. It is like the masks and gloves have come off. He must believe that he has achieved some kind of critical mass, and that he cannot be stopped. I am just amazed (and angered) at all that is occurring - it seems to come at us from all directions, and it is difficult to keep up with all that he is doing.

Another word for your 7 “Attitudes” is “Excuses”.

I would add an eighth.

” Not all public schools are bad. My child goes to a good one. They even sang a Christmas carol last year during their Winter Break celebration!” ( Blech!)

History:

“How we burned in the prison camps later thinking: What would things have been like if every police operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? If during periods of mass arrests people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever was at hand? The organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt.”

Alexander Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008) Russian Novelist and Historian

A Civil War would just become the Mother of all Riots.. UNless a Military Coup happens we(america) are/is screwed.. "We" waited too long..

I began to see this clearly about 3 months ago. My early attempts to explain the likelihood of a military coup were met with anger and derision on these forums.

Yet, it seems clear, that the only genuine hope for a return to Constitutional government is for a military coup staged to protect the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic. The military will require at least one branch of government to give it institutional credence.

The Judicial branch seems the most likely. I can easily imagine an activist judge acting in protection of the law by enforcing military control of the executive branch, especially if it is demonstrated to the court that 0 is ineligible for his office and is unwilling to step down.

My suspicion is that no judge as yet is willing to take on the awful authority required to allow a case to come before him requiring documentation of 0's eligibility.

That's who we're dealing with now. The Constitution and the rule of law are just so much toilet paper to those who would rule us now. Our values are punchlines to sneering liberal Statist[Fascist, Socialist, Collectivist, etc.] party jokes.
Exactly, but I changed it slightly to reflect what those people really are – and something we should never forget.

Awesome post. We need to get back to teaching the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Is that something that could be going on in between the tea party events?

Each generation that passes weaken us more because the old guards and guideposts are not carried on. We are dealing with a very patient group that creates and waits for calamities to usher in their way of life.

" How do we reverse such trends? ... We educate ourselves about our heritage and [liberties] and then we educate others. There are many more people in this nation who understand the fundamental truths, either intellectually, or in their hearts, than we realize. They have been marginalized, but we must stand forthrightly and find them, gather with them (and do it not just in one or two places with a few dozen, but in tens of thousands of places all over this land), converse with them, educate one another, spread the word and prepare...prepare for war.

Jeff - you have hit the nail on its head, but let me propose direction - toward the battlefield. Because I say, we (conseratives) have to a great extent, marginalized ourselves!

The tenor of the posts here urge action – but leans in the wrong direction, leaves out real options, and gives the wrong impression – that it is ‘too late.’

It is never ‘too late’ to begin acting on behalf of freedom, and many on this website know what I’m talking about, because they are part of the political process, where they live – they go to political meetings, they participate, and they make a difference - a huge difference. But, they are far too few; they look over their shoulders and wonder… where in the hell are all those others that expressed their desire to ‘wage war.’

Everyone on this website can be a participant in doing their civic duty. That means getting in your car and driving to the battle – of words, ideas - and personalities pushing for power in your-town. That battlefield is close to all of us, but it is studiously ignored.

Showing up when it counts, monthly, weekly, daily – where public business is being conducted in the political arena – is what has not been done. It is where conservatives have badly failed – because they want someone else to do battle (not the bloody kind) for them. So, they sit at home and complain, and wonder what they should do.

Tea parties are fun – but totally ineffective politically. If the same number of conservatives showed up at the monthly County Republican Party meeting where they live, and asked themselves, ‘What can I do to contribute to the battle for conservatism?’ – there would be a political earthquake of major proportions… and that has not been done, or even talked seriously about, anywhere that I know of, including on this website. Why? Because it’s too dull, it doesn’t make for nice pictures. That’s what our grandparents did – the old fogies of the past. (Yeah, those old-timers that kept things on a more even keel in this nation for generations in the past.)

There’s a lot of talk here about boxes – ballot, cartridge, etc. I think it is time for FReepers to start talking about a different ballot box – not the one that comes up three or four times per year where the general public is asked to vote – but those places where votes are taken every month, a few minutes from their doorstep. There’s really no ‘box’ at these places. Generally it is a show of hands, or a voice vote – and yes, sometimes there is a box, perhaps at the County level.

These votes, quite bluntly, are more important than those tossed into the ‘ballot box’ by the public. They determine what a political party is, and does. They determine who rises to leadership in your community – your state, and ultimately, the nation.

In short, if you haven’t been there and you haven’t voted – you haven’t been a ‘watchman on the wall’ – you have not fought yet in the most important battle that there is to maintain the freedoms our forefathers passed on to us.

Whether the third, fourth, fifth and sixth party acolytes on this website like it or not, this is a two-party nation, and you clean up one and fight the other, or you lose.

There are over 100 thousand staunch God fearing conservatives in the Republican Party, and there are a lot of two-faced skunks too – that need conservative opposition.

So go… and oppose them, where you live. Show up in great numbers (such is happening now, but far more need to come.) And, there is a bottom line you need to keep up-front in your mind, as you do battle.

This nation will not prosper, if you poke a sharp stick God’s eye. He gave the model for human government to Moses – our Founders spoke often of that model, and used it in forming our government, and wrote extensively about it. Here is just one quote (rather famous now) of many, from one of those Founders – Samuel Langdon:

Fix your eyes upon men of good understanding, and known honesty; men of knowledge, improved by experience; men who fear God, and hate covetousness; who love truth and righteousness, and sincerely wish the public welfare. Beware of such as are cunning rather than wise; who prefer their own interest to every thing; whose judgment is partial, or fickle; and whom you would not willingly trust with your own private interests. When meetings are called for the choice of your rulers, do not carelessly neglect them, or give your votes with indifference, just as any party may persuade, or a sordid treat tempt you; but act with serious deliberation and judgment, as in a most important matter, and let the faithful of the land serve you. Let not men openly irreligious and immoral become your legislators; for how can you expect good laws to be made by men who have no fear of God before their eyes, and who boldly trample on the authority of his commands? And will not the example of their impiety and immorality defeat the efficacy of the best laws which can be made in favour of religion and virtue? If the legislative body are corrupt, you will soon have bad men for counsellors, corrupt judges, unqualified justices, and officers in every department who will dishonor their stations; the consequence of which will be murmurs and complaints from every quarter. [spelling / punctuation as in the original]

Langdon’s warning about ‘bad men’ has come to pass, as we all well know. What caused this can be directly traced to public apathy at the local level – people fixated on just national elections, while completely ignoring the political arena in their own back yard – where they could have the greatest effect, yet cede the battlefield to a minuscule few.

Jeff, that 'tens of thousands of places all over this land' (where we should gather) are indeed places that have been sorely neglected. Those places are in fact the tens of thousands of monthly meetings a few minutes away from all of us.

I live in Los Angeles, a very liberal town, yet with millions of conservative men and women that don't even know about the political meeting taking place five minutes from where they live.

If this website were to make it a priority to inform those conservatives, and get them to take part in these meetings (they would certainly be welcome) then we could shake the political ground like it has not been shaken, not only in this ugly socialist hotbed, but across the nation.

Hear hear. Everyone should read your comments. You speak the truth and what many of us here already know but could not articulate it as well as you did in your post. The time is now. It can and will happen here, we must get the upper hand.
