Right now it is foolish to put our faith in anything but ourselves. Certainly the Fed is doing nothing.

The closest thing to us is our state houses....

Something I wrote a couple of days ago:

What this election is about - The ring-bolt to the chain of your nation’s destiny

No matter how things may look outwardly, we have no choice but to do whatever it takes to assure that America’s Revival succeeds, with God’s help.

On July 5, 1852, Frederick Douglass, who perhaps more than any other man re-lit the fires of liberty, and provided the moral impetus for ending slavery in this country, said:

“The Declaration of Independence is the ring-bolt to the chain of your nation’s destiny...the principles contained in that instrument are saving principles. Stand by those principles, be true to them on all occasions, in all places, against all foes, and at whatever cost.”

Do you understand that our nation’s destiny depends on our adherence to the words of our Founders in the Declaration of Independence?

Here are those principles, written down for us in the founding paragraph of America:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...”

All men are created equal before God.

Our rights to life and liberty come from the One Who made us, not from any man.

Those rights are unalienable. In other words, incapable of being taken or given away.

The very purpose of government is to secure those rights.

And, the people are sovereign, under God.

It’s up to us. To whatever extent these principles are being eroded, no one bears the ultimate responsibility for that except “We the People.”

The founding generation risked everything to implement these timeless truths:

“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.”

Can we do any less?

The media-anointed so-called “frontrunners” in the current presidential field are completely unchained from the “saving principles” found in the Declaration, for which so many men and women over the centuries sacrificed, even to the point of giving up their own lives.

Overwhelmingly, this current crop of craven politicians has adopted a false “federalism” that claims that states’ rights trump unalienable rights.

The Preamble to our Constitution explains its purpose:

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

The practice of abortion violates every clause, every underlying principle, that is contained in our Constitution.

Our children and grandchildren have an equal claim to the Blessings of Liberty.

Are we willing to pay the price required to give it to them? Are we going to allow the pundits, the pollsters, the political consultants, the party gatekeepers, and the Democrat Media to only allow us choices that deny and destroy the very premise of America and of liberty?

No. We cannot.

It’s time for us to take our sovereign power back from the elites and to restore government of, by, and for the people — government that is firmly set on the foundation of reliance upon God, respect for His Laws, and to the principles of the unalienable rights to life and liberty that America was built upon.
