We the people built America!! We settled it, we hacked it out of the wilderness. We fought for it, we defended it, we died for it. We built our homes, our farms, our factories, our businesses, our schools, our churches, our towns. We raised and educated our children to continue building it.
And as everyone who graduated from the eighth grade before the government propaganda artists took over knows, we the people built the government:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, 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.
And we the people granted the government certain LIMITED powers reserving all others to the states and to ourselves:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
The government did NOT build America. We the people built it. If anything, the government has stood in the way nearly every step of the way!! And now the government has openly stated that its goal is to destroy the "flawed" constitution, destroy freedom and destroy the free economy altogether by fundamentally transforming America from a free country to a socialist state.
You, our elected representatives and appointed lackeys, are NOT our RULERS. You are our SERVANTS!! Never forget that!!
Mr. pResident, you are just the current temporary occupant. An unfortunate mistake of history that will soon be rectified by we the people.
Free Republic is here to continue fighting for independence and freedom and against the unconstitutional encroachment of ever expanding socialist government. Government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. We do not consent to godless liberal/progressive socialist government!!
We believe in the founding principles with all our hearts and mean to defend them to our dying breath:
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, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
God granted us life and liberty along with all of our other unalienable rights. We place our faith in God, not government. With God all things are possible.

Thank you all very much!!
Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.
We are the resistance!!
Prayers up for our Republic!!
God bless.

I’ve never heard him mention why, but he has said that if someone won’t release information, then that person has something to hide.
So...?
To: Jim Robinson; Liz; AT7Saluki
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, What is Politics? Dad says, Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I am the head of the family, so call me The President.
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.
The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.
And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense.
The little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said. Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parents room and finds his mother asleep.
Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nannys room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy says to his father, Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now. The father says, Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.
The little boy replies, The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit.'

I would have to look up whatever fabricated reason he may have used but, do I really want to read any more of the Marxist’s lies?
He sealed them because there are things that he does not want us to know about.

We’re hanging in there! [smiles] Thank you!
It’s time for me to start preparing the hamburgers for grilling, and I have to make mayonnaise.
I’ll probably check in again before the Netflix movies start, but I have to leave for now.
Will definitely BBL with the movie reviews. Last night’s movies were... mediocre at best, and I was too sad to review them anyway. Here’s hoping that tonight’s are better!
