Your profile……….you kept busy, Major.

Very cool pics. I do however worry about anyone posting pics of Jan.6th.
But it’s still cool.

I was looking at pics recently……there I was young, young, and young, then OLD! I stopped right there. 😆

Thank you for your service, Sir.

From the title: "Which Founding Father is the most popular . . . "

James Madison, the father of the Constitution

He was acclaimed to be, but not without another.

John Adams, a Founder of the Republic of the United States and our second President, made the most important significant accurate prediction of the purpose of the Constitution, of which Bill of Rights he was a champion:

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.
It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
Through the ages since, we "conservatives' have allowed the non-conservative educators and anti-Christian entertainers to proliferate to seize our schools, churches, and media, making our population uncontrollable under this Constitution.

In my lifetime I have seen the republic-destroying parasitic vine of social progressivism climb the mighty tree of liberty to suck out the sap of resourcefulness and extinguish the fruitfulness that only individual freedom can bring.

That vine of national socialism was planted by Franklin Delano Roosevelt and brought into its poisonous smothering of capitalism by the Great Depression which his politics created, only relieved by the unity fostered by the Second World War.

The tree of life, once flourishing, is nearly now nearly dead through the addictive philosophies infecting and propagated by the "Typhoid Marys" of the elite universities through their budding students.

What can cure this corruption of the whole world?

Only the return of the Appointed Savior, the Incarnate Omnipotent Living Son of God, from the spiritual realm of His Heaven to this coexisting temporal physical world, whence He will institute His Kingdom of Righteousness and Peace globally over sinful mankind, with physical death dealt out that rewards anyone resisting to His Sovereign rule administered by Messiah-adoring faithful Jews.

By the Truth-disseminating record of the revealed Holy Inscripturated Principles, that is likely to be instituted quite soon, eh? In view of the current global disruption of criminal human governments, hmm?

George Mason performed an important service to 2nd Amendment advocates, by giving a precise definition of "militia" for the 2nd Amendment.

Militia should be defined as "anyone not affiliated with the government."

Benjamin Franklin. Started with nothing and build a fortune as an entrepreneur and author. Then became a philanthropist and created the first public library un the USA, the University or Pennsylvania, and a dozen other institutions that still exists today. Then he invented a number of important things, probably chief among them the lightning rod without which there would be no skyscrapers today. The he charmed the French into joining the revolution with us and toppling the British. Absolute genius and legend.

“What can cure this corruption of the whole world?

“Only the return of the Appointed Savior, the Incarnate Omnipotent Living Son of God...”

Excellent post, Redeemed. My prayers for my country have changed drastically over the last few years. Sometimes, I ask only that He remember His children who are here in the land of Sodom and Gomorrah II.

The conditions depicted in the Revelation concerning the few years preceding the last seven years are ripe. By that I mean that the conditions prophesied have a sort of expiration date beyond which the tech changes will propel humanity beyond the prophesied conditions. 'Scientists' are already testing aerosol delivered nanobot technology that can deliver DNA altering 'gain of functions'. Yes, I am alluding to the nearness of the Rapture removal of The Body of Christ ... concept borrowed from JD Farag.

When you see the Christmas decorations going up at the start of November you realize that Christmas is coming. But Thanksgiving is even closer to arriving. Original author of that notion unknown

Excellent points all.

John Adams is often -- quite improperly -- ignored and is clearly among the greatest minds of the Founders. Thank you & Cheers!

I will take care that my precious grandchildren hear what you are planning to make available. To educate our children beyond the public school indoctrination is, in my humble opinion, the ONLY way to save a dying Constitutional Republic ... if there is time left.

It is important to us, SC, to broadcast the milk of the Gospel (Heb. 5:12-13)(the basis that at one point in time The Judge's Punishment for Sins is executed, sustained and completed, His Fiery Wrath is placated by Righteous Demands which are completely satisfied; contemporaneously reconciliation with restoration by adoption to pre-Fall Adamic Father-son communion unilaterally offered and fully bilaterally accepted, ratified by new spiritual birth of the fully convinced, confident, committed, assenting believer; and sealed by the judicial pardoning of the appellant together with assumption of personal residence of the Holy Ghost including imputation of the Righteousness of God; and being set aside--sanctified--for God's ongoing service); as well as the meat of the Gospel (Heb. 5:14; 1 Cor. 2:15,16)(spiritual maturation through progressive sanctification supervised by the Spirit and His assistant, the assembly of fellow disciple-servants influenced by a plurality of mature elders).

Is this not a happy prospect for you, SC? We will not allow a fake religionist or governmental bureaucrat to undercut this eveg-rowing moment-by-moment intimacy with our Creator, will we (Song 1:2,7)?

There really is no "OSAS" is there? It is only "Once Saved," and that is it. The salvation offered by the Heavenly Father, implemented by the Crucified, Resurrected Son, and intimately guided by the Holy Counselor, is begun once at the moment of the Lost Sheep's one-time assent, never to be revisited nor rescinded ownership. It is once consummated, by both adoption and new birth into The Father's Heavenly Family.

Jesus Saves. Perfectly. Continuously. Determinedly. Without fail. With an Invincible Plan Procaimed, never to be faulted. Never disappointing His Father or Spirit.

This is my confidence, never to be changed, and I hope and conclude yours also, SC!

Fully Resting in Him, From Whom All Blessings Flow, open to His advances, none other,

John Laurens, Hamilton's friend and Revolutionary War hero, is also having a moment. He was a believer in human equality and an advocate of abolition who was killed in one of the last battles of the war (after Yorktown, in fact). The downside is that his father, Founder Henry Laurens was a major slaveowner. Also the LGBTQ crew wants to claim Laurens and Hamilton because their friendship was so close.

Robert Morris, who signed the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution, is another interesting figure. A rich man, he gave his fortune to the Revolution and died a pauper. His associate Haym Salomon counts as a Jewish Founder.
