I publicly confirm my acknowledgment that God the Father, Jesus His Son and the Holy Ghost are the Rulers of the Universe I desire them to be the Keepers of My Soul, the Guardians of all those I hold dear to my heart
Those who know me on this forum, know that I am far from perfect Although that is true, I don't want to leave any doubt that I know there is a Holy Trinity that They are omnipotent and deserving of my devotion
It may not always look like it, but when the chips are down, They have that devotion above all others
I do believe it is my duty to respect my fellow man I also believe that I fail that duty more often than I would like Here's to a constantly expended effort to do better
This is the flag I am proud to honor I cherish the principles of our Founding Fathers I admire the framing of our Constitution and it's tenets The Bill of Rights and the Constitutional Amendments are our ultimate safety net, the glue that hold this nation together There is no nation on earth, whose founding documents provide more protections to it's citizens than ours
Those who have fought and died for this flag, for our Constitution deserve no less than that I defend it, that I defend those founding principles for which they laid down their lives, my freedom to guarantee
It is my duty to see that they did not die in vain
I pledge allegiance to this flag and to the republic for which it stands one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all And if I am going to pledge allegiance to this nation and it's flag then I must pledge my undying support and allegiance to those who serve, a number of whom will die that I might live free Before God and man, I solemnly confirm that I do
The United States of American seeks to conquer no people but to set them free to find their best self determining destiny absent the oppression of tyrants and worse
The U.S. does not seek out conflict, but it will go to the ends of the earth to conquer the evil intent of wicked men who seek to harm it, it's citizens and it's friends around the planet
God save this free republic, a beacon to the world
The United States of America is not perfect None the less it is the last best hope for humankind on planet earth
It is mankind's good fortune, that the United States, the most powerful nation on earth does not desire to conquer land or subjugate people
Sadly, other nation states thinking themselves to be no different than the United States fail to realize the importance of this fact, and that by detracting from the U.S. they weaken it and impede it's ability to work on their behalf
Currently one major power in Europe fancies itself morally superior to the U.S. By so doing, and vocally challenging the U.S., it gives hope to those who wish the U.S. ill And when nations give hope to those who wish to do the U.S. ill, they strengthen the very people who would ultimately destroy their own nation
The United Nations, the International Criminal Court, the World Trade Organization the North American Free Trade Agreements, the move to create a Free Trade of the Americas zone and other entanglements have very deleterious effects on the U.S. and it's ability to seek it's own best destiny We must not allow these insidious ties to bind us in ways that will destroy our very being
One of the most prominent threats to U.S. sovereignty is the United Nations When I mentioned how lucky the world was that the U.S. was not desirous of conquering nations I failed to mention that the U.S. is governed by the will of the people. It is a Republic It's representatives answer to the people, something we all too often take for granted
The United Nations is NOT a republic, it answers to no one It's new rules and creations such as the International Criminal Court are not passed by the majority of people, nor even the will of some of the people The United Nations owns no land, does not have any population, does not have an income source does not have it's own army, and no formal constituency
It rules by edict, setting minimal hurdles for itself, which find far less than 50% of it's nation state participants having to approve of it's plans, for them to be approved
The United Nations seeks to be a world government on this basis If it should attain that status, your representative form of government will be absolutely worthless to you The United Nations will over-rule it at will, with those nasty entanglements I mentioned earlier making it impossible for our leaders to ignore it's edicts
For this reason, I state that there is only one course of action when it comes to the United Nations and that action cannot come soon enough
Further, I state that trade agreements such as NAFTA and organizations such as the WTO should be relegated to the ash heap of history
We practiced trade before these insidious ensnaring traps were instituted and that trade facilitated this nation becoming second to none
That was healthy, these are not
There are three other things that threaten this nation like never before
1. uncontrolled borders and the invasion by millions of people in numbers so vast that assimilation is impossible
2. extending financial support via trade to a nation that makes no bones about it's intention to bury the U.S., invade it's neighbors and dominate the world It's not a Republic and it does plan on conquering lands and subjugating people
3. the enemy within, the democrat (nothing democratic about it) party and it's willingness to be used by socialists, marxists and terrorists that desire nothing less than the utter destruction of the United States as we know it
Thanks to Jim Robinson for creating Free Republic and to his sons John and Chris for their efforts to improve it keep it running smoothly and support their father
Thank you for coming to Free Republic May your life and our nation be richly blessed for your having done so
I will argue my point with anyone, but when the thread is done I will start off fresh with you on another, no ill will carried over
If you are here trying to converse, learn and do something positive for our nation you deserve my respect, and you'll get it If you're here to disrupt, you won't
