All righty then, TE.

One video to make you think & feel, to the song, “Mary Did You Know” (snippets from “The Passion”):

And one YouTube to get a person to jump up and have at, to “Amazing Grace” (this is the Christmas Lights electronica version):

I post these to encourage you & the forum. I haven’t figured out yet how to embed the pix & video to click on it, but am working on this.

Good points. Ronald Reagan was a once in a lifetime event apparently. The fact we haven't had another Ronald Reagan, who epitomized the exceptionalism of America and proudly stood in her defense against all enemies, both foreign and domestic, tells a tale. His stature was such that the Ministry of Information, try as they might, was unable to significantly tarnish his image with Americans. That he frequently and eloquently espoused conservative principles in a way most Americans could identify with must have given them no small case of heartburn.

The "Contract With America" in '94 is another example of what Americans stand for and truly believe in. Conservative principles, put in writing and shouted from the rooftops was embraced by a large portion of the country. So we all, including Dimocrats, know that MOST Americans harbor traditional values and principles. And yet our "leaders" tenaciously and incessantly try to take the country in the opposite direction. Curious.

[ForGod'sSake]

Just so. The march towards the abyss has been pretty consistent, if not always on a fast track. Occasionally there is a lurch in that direction, the current regime being a prime example.

[geologist]

So what can we do? Ignoring many issues along the way and trusting government is obviously a BIG MISTAKE. Tyranny has existed from the beginning, we have not been eternally vigilant. So begin to be VIGILANT. Turn this ship of state around and start cutting the size and scope of government control.

It did not happen over night and it will be a slow process; yet consistent, vigilant attention and direct action ongoing can begin the restore America. The elites have too much power, because we have unconsciously ceded it to them

STOP! While we still have people that know and remember what made us prosperous, free and a nation of basic laws and process.

God help us in our day, in Jesus name, Amen.

[ForGod'sSake]

EXCELLENT post and great points. I suspect you are more right than wrong in your observations. Turning back the tide of tyranny may in fact require a BONA FIDE revolution as opposed to a rhetorical or slow rolling revolution. The problem: Baby Boomers, myself included, are fast becoming unable to get involved in a bona fide revolution and the following generation, our children, was the first to be steeped in collectivism in government schools. THEY will have to mount the defenses and man the walls when the time comes. I’m not convinced they will even understand what they will be asked to fight for, but we may find out.

[ForGod'sSake]

We must push to repeal the 14th, 16th, and 17th amendments, at the very least.

Mostly agree, but we may need to identify and attack more vulnerable targets to start with. Modifying our Constitution is not an easy task and may be nearly impossible given the current mess we find ourselves in. The States, many of which ought be interested in reasserting their own powers could be important players in any realignment. The feral monster has grown to such proportions and inserted itself in so many areas and intruded in so many functions, anything short of a decisive and complete restoration of founding principles may be picking at nits. IMHO, it will be a painful process regardless. Are we up to it?

[ForGod'sSake]

Amen brother! However, I’m not altogether convinced methodically dismantling the feral beast will work and I believe the next few years will be instructive. It is pure evil we are up against; how do we fight pure evil? It will not retreat until forced to. Does history offer us any answers? A nation turned away from God has committed itself to failure. How would God advise us? I keep asking myself that question but I don’t get any clear answers. Will a revival of Biblical and Godly principles within our nation give us the strength, wisdom and means to confront the beast?

we haven't had another Ronald Reagan

I think that we are called to become like Ronald Reagan. He is our modern day George Washington. After Washington died, they knew that there would never be another man like him and that we as a country were blessed to have him as our first president. However, for decades and centuries later, he was still held up as the example of a great statesman. Parents and teachers honored his memory by pointing to him as the type of person that we should all aspire to be.

We should do no less for Ronald Reagan.

[ForGod'sSake]

Neat rendition of Amazing Grace!

Still, my favorite: Il Divo - Amazing Grace

[ronnyquest]

It will most certainly be a painful process. Most are not up to it, which is, I think, a large part of why we have not yet moved. That being said, more people “become” ready for it every day.

[ForGod'sSake]

Just curious because I don’t know, but I wonder if George Washington is still held in such high regard in government school curriculums? And agreed; Ronald Reagan cut a path we should follow and set a standard we should all aspire to.

[ForGod'sSake]

Interesting times to be sure. We may learn a lot this November.

[geologist]

Political correctness and tolerance of the intolerant is HUGE in the demise of America, as is the worldliness of America's Churches, and the revisionist History and erosion of the history of America's founding principles.

Our whole education system, ’ Dorothy has two Mothers,’ or is it Tom has two father's etc., is STUFF AND NONSENSE. MO

Perverted, skewed information and teaching to NOT ACTUALLY THINK, but rather accept it all.

Whatever happened to critical thinking?

We allowed it to happen. It is not the fault of the younger people ... who received this lack of education. And all the former Christian Universities IE Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc. are totally infiltrated by anti America, anti capitalist professors that rather build up Socialism, Islam, Sharia Law, etc

God help us in our day. in Jesus name, amen

We did not arrive here over night. Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Bill Clinton,and others, Dewey, even the two Bushes, etc. all aided and abetted this process mightily.

The push now is to allow International law. Let the United Nations take over, ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT, Sharia LAW Newt is an Internationalist!!!!!! Well disguised, by the way.

[Slyfox]

In the 1920s, a cohort of leftists decided that they were going to rewrite American history by diminishing the work of our greatest leaders.

One good thing about Ronald Reagan is that he forced us all to remember the likes of George Washington.

Truth be known, the ink was barely dry on our Constitution when statists began their work. Alexander Hamilton leading the charge. The first chief justice of SCOTUS, John Marshall, did his part to expand the enumerated powers of the federales beyond a simple reading of original intent. Tyrants are always at work and our Constitution offered a few speed bumps along the way but tyranny ultimately came to America through their persistent efforts.

[ForGod'sSake]

Seems there’s a stirring in the country by a lot of folks to get acquainted with our Constitutional framework, undo revisionist history and put our Founders and our statesmen back in their rightful places. Better late...

Absolutely true!

AMEN!

[ForGod'sSake]

I might also add, through our lack of vigilance. Tyrants dress up their evil pig in so much pretty lace, puffery and lipstick it almost becomes unrecognizable to the unwashed. Still a pig.

Again I totally agree!

To put it into the words of that eminent American philosopher POGO; "I have seen the enemy, and he is us!"

I date the second American revolution as the election of 1800, the third as the gutting of property rights during the New Deal and the 60s as the fourth. Some may want to toss in Lincoln too.

You are right! I would do exactly that! I agree with those who have already stated that there have been those who were doing their best to undermine the Constitution from the very beginning but the job wasn't done (the second American Revolution) until 1860 - 1865 when Lincoln and his radical republican cohorts opened wide the doors through which ever progressive since has walked.
