I had to take a break from the thread for a while because it became obvious to me that there are a lot of political undercurrents out there that are just disgusting and foreign to my way of thinking and my way of life.

I go to a church that was built in the 1600's, and still has Colonial era "stiff" pews and tales of the "Washington crouch".

There are others in the area just as old and distinguished, including one where Patrick Henry gave his "Liberty or Death" speech. You can walk into these buildings and literally feel the founding fathers presence alive in the building.

I cannot, as a human being, give up the notion that the natural condition of a human being is one of Freedom, liberty, and the ability to worship God, who is the source of all freedom and liberty.

I will never live as a slave. Ever. Much worse, I will do whatever it takes for others to live free. Thats my heritage, and that will be my legacy.

PS: all of you guys are the best.

Glad to have you on our side. Watch Mel Gibson's The Patriot.

That will be us very very soon. And I'll be by your side as many of us will.

It is time:

A Visitor From The Past



I had a dream the other night, I didn't understand.

A figure walking through the mist, with flintlock in his hand.

His clothes were torn and dirty, as he stood there by my bed.

He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low, he said:



"We fought a revolution to secure our liberty.

We wrote the Constitution, as a shield from tyranny.

For generations, this legacy we gave,

In this, the land of the free and home of the brave."



"The Freedom we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep,

But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep.

Your freedom gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave,

In this, the land of the free and home of the brave."



"You buy permits to travel, and permits to own a gun,

Permits to start a business, or to build a place for one.

On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent.

Although you have no voice in choosing how the money's spent."



"Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate.

Your Christian values can't be taught, according to the state.

You read about the current news, in a regulated press.

You pay a tax you do not owe, to please the I.R.S."



"Your money is no longer made of Silver or of Gold.

You trade your wealth for paper, so your life can be controlled.

You pay for crimes that make our Nation, turn from God in shame.

You've taken Satan's number, as you've traded in your name."



"You've given government control to those who do you harm,

So they can padlock churches, and steal the family farm.

And keep our country deep in debt, put men of God in jail,

Harass your fellow countrymen, while corrupted courts prevail."



"Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oath they've sworn.

Your daughters visit doctors, so their children won't be born.

Your leaders ship artillery, and guns to foreign shores,

And send your sons to slaughter, fighting other people's wars."



"Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died?

Or don't you have the courage, or the faith to stand with pride?

Are there no more values for which you'll fight to save?

Or do you wish your children, to live in fear and be a slave?"



"People of the Republic, arise and take a stand!

Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land!

Preserve our Great Republic, and God-given Right!

And pray to God to keep the torch of Freedom burning bright!"



As I awoke he vanished, in the mist from whence he came.

His words were true, we are not Free, we have ourselves to blame.

For even now as tyrants, trample each God-given Right,

we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight.



If he stood by your bedside, in a dream, while you're asleep,

And wonders what remains of our Rights he fought to keep,

What would be your answer, if he called out from the grave:

"Is this still the land of the free and home of the brave?"

You are not alone.

Just for fun do a search for OBL and skull and bones.

Y'all can all move to the south and we can secede from the union LOL

Hang in their JM. This country needs you. I understand what you are saying and it disturbs me greatly to think how far this country has strayed from its origins. IMO the Constitution is perfect as is. We need to get back to it. If we need to fight to defend it, so be it. Without freedom and liberty...well, there are no other options.

PS: all of you guys are the best.

We're only good because you contribute to us and make us what we are here.

In the past year I've had the opportunity to visit some of the old missions in Texas and elsewhere in the country. Our churches are part of our history in this country. They stand today as shining examples of the faith shown by those who built this country and made it strong and prosperous. What is happening to day, tearing down our religious freedoms is also tearing down our country IMHO.
