Pumping up the fans
Hey! Just as I might be related to dixie sass, you might be kissin' kuzzins!
On my mother's side were Scots who settled in North Carolina in the 1700's!
Her mother was a Dickson, who graduated from Columbia College in South Carolina in 1895 and married my grandfather.
They were married in the Washington Street Methodist Church in Columbia, near the state capitol, and her father participated in performing the ceremony.
He had been an associate pastor there previously; and my grandfather's minister father was there as well.
Course I'd claim you two ANYWAY!!
LOL
Freedom'sWorthIt, you're a memebr of the class of '98. So am I. Good year for Freepers. You're the best.
I'll be back later.
We might just be related. Though my dad's family migrated to NC around 1801 from Virginia.
I am into geneaology. I'll also claim you as cousins! LOL!!
Nice! : )
Unnecessary explanation, Aqua...I just happen to be The Most Wicked Wielder of Weedeaters on the planet..:)))
In North Carolina I had built a home on a 1.34 acres lot, carving out just the driveway among the hardwoods.
I LOVED keeping the undergrowth in check, as well as around the house itself; the bushhog a necessary attachment for thinning out the young saplings.
A neighbor here in South Carolina observed one day "Did God assign you to keep His whole world tidy?!!"
Yep...:)))
At 85, I'll probably still be here mowing and weedeating and grubbing in the soil.
And the kitchen sign over my stove will STILL say 'CLOSED' - LOL
Yes, freedom is worth the fight! One reason is the alternative for us as human beings is degradation, destruction, and oppression - which is exactly what the Hillary Clinton led Demonazi's want to impose on this country - no matter WHAT it "looks like" - they want and would bring us full blown communism if they could get away with it
When I was in the sixth grade, I read a book called:
"What Is Communism". This book was in our school library (I am sure it would be banned now).
That got me started thinking about the antigod, antihuman "ism" that has brought misery, suffering, and death to multiplied millions since its heinous inception into the thinking of man.
I found out about the beasts: Hitler (a SOCIALIST - not a right wing extremist as is depicted today)
Stalin (who starved millions to death in the Ukraine and had millions of others taken away in the middle of the night to never be heard from again
Mao (who brought his little red book to become the "gospel" of the godless in Communist China and who throught the "Cultural Revolution" brought death and destruction in China unlike anything ever seen there)
Pol Pot (we know about his killing fields---almost 1/3 of his nation's peoples killed????)
Castro (who has turned a once beautiful Carribean island into a hellhole but who is still hailed as the ICON of America's communists led by Hitlery and Dan Blather!
Cauceasceau in Romania (who was finally, thank God, overthrown and removed from this life - something that apart from Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, the grace of God and the blood of the martyrs and the prayers of the saints, would never have happened!!!)
Sick, evil, socialists / commumist oppressors are out there waiting to do the same thing to America - to you and to me - that they did to all these other nations and peoples.
Today's terrorists are allied with the world's communists -including those inside our own country - including that NY Senator - and are bent on destroying our country.
As a nation, we Americans must be involved in the battle - through prayer, through work to overcome evil with good, through getting "out there" on the front lines or "in there" working in the background however we can - and, IMHO, need to spend as much time on our knees in intercessory and confessing prayer (and praise) as we do working (and even Freeping!!!) if we are to have a chance to defeat the evil that is about to swallow us up!
Sometimes I go off into these "prophetess" type rants - please forgive.
But I have seen what is "out there" and know that we must always undrestand that the evil "out there" wants those who love God and those who love freedom "outathere!"
Our job is to see that we have done all we can do to fight them and then, having done all (including prayer) we just stand....trusting Him to carry the day.
Freedom is worth the struggle.
By the way - if you want to irritate a communist/socialist/liberal - ask them how valuable to them is human freedom! ASk them if our founders were right to treasure freedom! And, yes, we had slavery at that time - but we do not now! Ask them if they think supporting nations who promote enslavement of others - like Communist China, Communist Cuba, all the Islamic nations - is something they favor?
In other words - pin them down on the value of FREEDOM as human beings and their true "colors" will shine out!
Because - as their "hero" once said - they ALL BELIEVE - that in America - we had all these radical ideas about freedom here.
And one more thing - it is no accident that President Bush uses that word "freedom" very very frequently. As a Christian, he knows and loves the fact that God built a longing for freedom into every human heart! America is the last bastion on earth where that value continues to be held in such high esteem...thanks to the advance of the Globalsocialists and Communists and Islamic terror masters.
And, I thank God that I am still (at this moment) free to attend a March for Justice or a rally for the true election winner or to post the things I do regarding those who would destroy us if they could get away with it!
End of rant.
MAJOR HUGS TO MR. FREEDOM'SWORTHIT!!!
North Carolina is blessed with beauty in our mountains and in our seashores that pretty much makes us truly "the goodliest land under all of heaven" (what early settlers here proclaimed!)
Guess that's one reason I have lived my whole life here. Who wants to leave a bit of heaven on earth?
