'When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." -- Proverbs 29:2
Don't get me wrong. We'll be barbecuing tomorrow and greatly enjoying the fellowship of family and friends.
We'll be lighting off a few celebratory firecrackers, as John Adams suggested we should do.
We'll go to the local fireworks display and commemorate our national liberty and independence with our fellow citizens.
But, on this particular Independence Day, something important is missing. I can't help but mourn, as traitors, cowards, wicked men, and oath-breakers run amok in American halls of power.
To me, this is not a time to celebrate, but to call to memory the righteous indignation of our forefathers at the lawless actions of tyrants. It's a time to remember the fact that though they did not want war - no sane man wants war - they were willing to have war if that was what it was going to take to remain a free, self-governing people, sovereign under Almighty God.
It is a time to ask ourselves, and each other: What exactly are you willing to do to restore and preserve what they were willing even to die for?
"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." - The Declaration of Independence
Ambivalent. I’ll bet quite a few Germans felt the same way in the 1930s during national holidays.
” divine Providence”
THE PROGRESSIVES HATE THAT!
THEY would like to BELIEVE that it is they who are in the process of destroying this Nation.. who are the DIVINE PROVIDERS.
GOD Bless America and free us from the TYRANTS
What can we do? I don’t even want to fly the U.S. flag as it depresses me so much. Elections certainly are not the answer.
Any concrete ideas?
Yes but i wont post it
Unlike Germans, we’ve had a free constitutional republic for more than two centuries.
Well said, EV.
“A Republic, if you can keep it.”
We have our work cut out for us, EV, and, beyond a conservative sweep in 2016, I have no answers.
Going to have a barbecue. Not because it’s the weekend of the 4th. I don’t care about that anymore. Just because it’s a nice summer weekend. There’s not much we can do anymore. We know God is angry with the USA and has some unpleasant surprises in store. All we can do is hunker down and hope the guilty ones catch most of it. And I’m too old to think a Peesident Cruz or Walker will make it all better; we’re too far gone now.
Elections could turn things around practically overnight. All that is required is for We the People to begin to demand that those who represent us represent the principles of our free republic’s founding, and keep the sacred oath of office. No compromise.
Thanks old FRiend.
When we look back in history, old fashioned justice, swift and without question, was a great deterrent to tyranny. At the same time, maybe it is time to start hanging ‘horse thieves’ again.....
President, not Peesident. We really need an edit button.
I’ve always retained a certain fondness for the old American tradition of tarring and feathering and riding out of town on a rail.
How do we insure that such demands are heard and acted upon? Rush mentioned yesterday that he was surprised there wasn’t more outcry about all the carp that happened this last week or so. To whom are we to “outcry? “
The time has come to deal with the American marxists once and for all.
The CPUSA is very much alive and in full control of the WH, the DOJ, and the Press.
In fact, the CPUSA is responsible for the Hussein Obama rise to the Presidency. His handler is the Iranian communist Valerie Jarrett.
The CPUSA has organized American Blacks, homosexuals, and illegal aliens into their Shock Troop, and have operatives in all Federal Agencies including the FBI and CIA as well as State and Local governments and unions.
Their game is to use the Black , Homosexual, and illegal alien as a means to destabilize American Society, weaken our military,and destroy our educational system, economy and way of life.
The CPUSA is wildly succeeding, not only managing to accomplish their goals but confound the GOP into not even recognizing that they are behind the operation.
In order to eliminate this threat, the CPUSA and those allied with it must be ruthlessly pursued and neutralized no matter where they may be.
No longer bothering to hide and operate in the shadows, they are now out in plain sight and are easy pickings.
Upon regaining power in 2017 the counter attack by the hard Right must be swift and merciless.
Hit the marxists so hard they will never recover or have the ability to win national office ever again.
Crap.I despise autocorrect.
We have to completely rework the way we do politics. We must have true accountability. Political vengeance on those who violate the most important obligations of their oaths must be swift, certain, and complete.
We actually possess the ability to do this.
The founders had to rely on men on horseback carrying handwritten letters, to communicate.
Our communication abilities are total, and instant.
We don’t lack the ability. All we lack is the will, to date.
You are most welcome. my FRiend. I hope you and yours are doing well.
Not really. You will laugh but thats about it.
I wrote my governor senator..asking that they refuse the Supreme Courts unconstitutional ruling and refuse to obey. If Obama Hillary and illegal immigrants don’t have to follow the law or the constitution then we don’t have to follow this ruling.
