I’ve enjoyed reading this each year. I’ve posted it before, but figured it would be nice to share again.

In Hoc Anno Domini?
Not being to good at Latin, as best as I can decipher it is:
2013 Anno Domini this country is In Hoc up to our eyeballs with no way of paying it back.

Thank you for posting it. I has more meaning today than it did even back when it was first written.

Thanks for posting. It contains reference to one of my favorite parts of the Gospel: “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God, the things that are God’s.” Probably one of the most cryptic and misinterpreted parts of the Gospel.

Wonderful! Thank you.

I assume Mr. Royster gave great thought to the fascists who had been involved in WWII as he wrote this. Probably never thought that fascists would come to power in America.
