Recently I've been hearing a lot of conservatives saying things like, "It's over. The left has won. This is no longer America. I'm not even going to celebrate the Fourth of July this year." I confess this disturbs me. I expect feminists to squeal like hysterical little girls.
Second Kings, Chapter 6, contains one of my favorite Bible stories. The King of Aram (which was more or less Syria) is waging war against Israel. But every time he sets up an ambush, the prophet Elisha tips off the Israelites and they get away. Because Elisha is a prophet! So he knows what the Syrians are planning. Mightily ticked off, the Syrian king decides to take Elisha out. So he sends his army to surround the city of Dothan where Elisha is staying.
The next morning, Elisha’s servant steps outside, looks up and sees that the city is surrounded by Syrian horses and chariots. Panicked, he cries out to Elisha, “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?”
The prophet answers calmly, “Don’t be afraid. Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
He then prays that the servant’s eyes will be opened — and when the servant looks again, he sees that the hills are filled with horses and chariots of fire.

I expect Social Justice Warriors to act like small boys who pretend to be heroes against imaginary enemies then run away from actual danger.
I expect conservatives to act like men and women — men and women who understand they are part of a fight for liberty that began when Moses killed the Egyptian slavedriver and will not end until Jesus comes again.
Open your eyes. The hills are filled with chariots of fire. Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.
Happy Fourth of July.
They're already here and yes, they're disgusting!
It’s good to know who they are. If someone has truly given up why would they be so set on convincing others? True, some enjoy wallowing in negativism, but most that are really whipped leave the field of battle and slink off into the darkness. Soros and others of his ilk have moles working everywhere.
I appreciate your effort, Oklahoma. We need a thousand more like you. May God bless you and your family.
“This conservative is running for political office at the local level - I am running for mayor!”
Give us a a contributor address. I’m good for a donation to your campaign.
“I think we have reached the end now. No firecrackers here.”
Then go jump back in your hole, little scared rabbit, and may we never hear your name again.
Democrats, RINOs, and other enemies have two sacraments: money and votes. Deny them. No surrender!
Good for you, Wallace T. Our problem here as patriotic Americans, is that we have never had to fight a struggle like this. All three branches of our government are badly corrupted. If we don’t fight, then they will overrule second amendment any day now, and start killing traditional Americans in mass. Such a struggle can’t be fought with our traditional weapons. It won’t do to simply get out the vote when both major parties are working against the people. Look to countries that have fought against tyrannical governments. What did they do? Poland overcame the communists peacefully. Egypt threw out the Muslim Brotherhood. It can be done!
Me either Ben. I’ll celebrate when the WH door hits Barry & Chewbacca in his bony butt and her ginormous buttocks for the last time.
I haven’t flown my flag for years, after having it up every day.
Anyone OK with the way things are can kiss my ass on their way out FR’s door to where they belong: Democratic Underground.
Light some sparklers when you get there and stick them up your ....
We can not have a country without the constitution it was founded up. It’s over.
