The Great Cultural Decay

The Great Cultural Decay

Great nations and proud empires have always collapsed from within before they were conquered from without. President Obama’s re-election mirrors the self indulgent, greedy and envious nation we are rapidly becoming. Pollsters Michael Barone and Dick Morris got it horribly wrong. Both predicted a 300-electoral vote win for Romney. It was President Obama who reached that mark. The central message coming out of the election seems to be that we are no longer the America of our founders, or even the America that existed during World War 2, which produced our “greatest generation.” Instead, the election validates the enormous cultural shift that has been taking place since the 60’s when the counter cultural bomb was dropped on society, producing moral fallout that continues to this day. I am child of the “greatest generation.” My parents believed I should learn to take care of myself. They would have been too embarrassed to ask for help if they needed it. If they did, they would have turned to family first, or to a friend or neighbor. There were fewer social programs then, so people mostly did without, living only on what they truly needed. It said something about your character if you refused to strive toward self-sufficiency. 

In 2012, nothing appears to embarrass us; Snooki, Honey Boo Boo, Reality TV wives, etc. Look at what is paraded before us as normal. Oppose the new normal and it’s you who are abnormal. Young people are taught in public schools, at major universities, on TV and in movies, that every life choice is acceptable and every tenet open to interpretation. In politics, some proclaim it is right to oppose the successful and envy the rich to the point where they must be denigrated and penalized for their success with higher taxes. No one has to be personally responsible. No education: no motivation, no life plan? No problem. The government will take care of you. One thing Romney might have done better is to have featured more people who had overcome government dependence by embracing the values he was promoting. Example trumps philosophy and success should trump victim hood. Inspiration follows perspiration. But in our “entitlement” age even that might have been impossible to overcome.

Other signs of cultural decay are accepted with little notice. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and prevention, 40 % of babies born in America are born to unmarried women (Shrug), abortion clinics continue to operate (Yawn). There is no longer any cultural corrective because we have abandoned the concept of objective truth. Nothing is right or wrong, because that suggests a standard by which right and wrong might be defined. Personal choice is the new “standard,” which is no standard at all. One might as well develop individual weights and measures. Politicians bid for votes, making promises they can’t keep to voters who will believe anything, as long as it appeals to greed, envy, and their sense of entitlement. This fuels our massive debt, weakening our economic power and Americas standing in the world. Standards used to be defined and mostly accepted, if not always universally practiced. Many grew out of religious principles. According to recent Pew Poll, a growing number of people, especially young people, no longer believe in God or religion. In this, an increasing flirtation with socialism. 

America is becoming more like Europe. Government seems to be replacing God as the only acceptable “deity.” So what’s the answer? Should we (conservatives) throw in the towel and say America, as passed down to us by previous generations, is no more? That was President Obama’s announced goal 4years ago when he promised to “fundamentally transform America.” He’s doing it and sufficient numbers of us appear happy to let him. When they realize what they have done, however, it may well be too late to reverse course.

UN Agenda 21

Hey Folks,

In the interest of keeping all of you informed, I have provided a link to the U.N.'s Agenda 21. There has been a lot of talk of this from Glenn Beck and knowing that many of you listen to him I wanted you to be able to have the actual document from the U.N. I must say it is very enlightening. It is a bit of a dry read, but it will inform you to what the Liberals are aiming for and what is to come...if we let them.

UN Agenda 21

Continue Brave Patriot, Continue

Hey Folks,

Well, here we are. We held an election between two politicians and guess what...the politician won. I know there are many of you who are possibly suffering from P.E.S.D.* (post election stress disorder), but let me run a few things by you.

First off, what do you think would have happened had Governor Romney won? What would have President Obama done in these last few months to get the rest of his agenda through? Did any of you actually think Romney could have reversed the damage that has already been caused? I know, the repeal of Obama-Care would have been a great start, however there are many taxes that are scheduled to start in January. Trust me, when all the crap that is headed our way from the policies Obama enacted over the last four years hit, Romney would have been destroyed by the media and the liberal machine. I believe that the devastation that would have occurred had Romney taken the fall for what is to come would have been insurmountable and I don't think conservatives and libertarians would have been able to have any voice what-so-ever after that.

Don't get me wrong, I am upset, but I can't change what I cannot change. I could sit here and kick myself in the head and keep telling myself Rodney and I failed in educating you. I could get more upset and just give up. You know what though, I am not going to let that happen. I realize Rodney and I have basically been preaching to the choir here. Those of you who read our blog, get our newsletters, visit our website, or follow us on Facebook are like-minded. The reasons you follow us is because you believe the same things we do, basically. However, we are not alone.

Our blog is followed by people all over the World, Russia, Brazil, France, Germany, Egypt, Ukraine, Portugal, China, Canada, Slovenia, Hungary, Malaysia, Australia, Israel, and many others. I believe that the people in those countries are looking for the leadership America has always provided. No, I don't think Rodney and I are the leaders they're looking for, but the fact that such a small, relatively unknown blog like ours is receiving that type of attention speaks volumes to the human condition being experienced all over the world from people who long to be free. I want all of you to know, the mere fact that you follow us on our different sites, you are being looked to by those you don't even know. Actions, as well as elections, have consequences.

"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated." ~ Thomas Paine (December 23, 1776)

Folks, are you a summer soldier? A sunshine patriot? If you are like Rodney or I, and I believe most of you are, you are neither. You are an American! God, Country, Family, that's us. We believe America is the last, best hope of millions. We believe our Country (though imperfect), our Constitution, are still better than anything else ever tried by mankind. We believe in giving each other a hand up. That even the poorest among us can become the greatest among us. No other country in the world can one imagine they can be anything they strive to be (the magic here is in the striving). We believe in rugged individualism, that "I can build it, I can do it, I can achieve it". We believe in teaching a man how to fish instead of handing him a fish. We do not rely on a government who will give us anything we want, because we know that that government can also take everything we have. We are the Patriots of today. Let us strive to be what we were meant to be, The shining city upon the hill, the last great hope of mankind.  I will not kid you, it is going to be very tough from here on out, but even George Washington lost more battles than he won. Take courage Patriots, you are on the right side of this fight. Please, whatever you do, don't sit in the corner licking your wounds, channel your passion for this country into action, keep up the good fight. Stand Your Ground!

Folks, Thanksgiving is coming up and I don't know if we will post anything before then, but I want all of you to know please give thanks for the Country that we grew up in. Give thanks for our families and friends, pray for our Country, and pray for our President. Pray that he will see the destruction and change his course. Pray that he will become the leader that the World needs. I ask you folks to please, please pray for Israel. Our blessed friend Israel is in extreme danger and I fear that if our President doesn't realize the errors of his way, our friend may perish. I don't think it will perish by our hand, but by a lack of our hand of protection. I hope we all know that the call for the destruction of an entire group of people is pure evil. Please, dig deep into your soul and seek the answers you are looking for.

Half of our Countrymen don't realize what our Founders gave us. We must continue to educate them as to why Socialism doesn't work and why the American experiment was the greatest gift ever given, not to just Americans, but to the entire world.

Continue brave Patriots, continue.

Mike

Freedom of What Religion?

(Disclaimer: This newsletter is probably going to be very controversial in some circles. My intent is not to incite violence or to target any individuals, I am trying to enlighten and inform. I might add that I feel truly blessed to be able to convey this message to you because I live in the U.S.A. and not in Russia where those who disagree are once again being thrown into prisons for speaking out).

 “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” - First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution

Hey Folks,

I am sure those of you who follow faith based issues have seen how over the last few decades the Christian religion, the religion of a majority of our forefathers, has been constantly under attack by those who wish to control the conversation (among other things). Many of those attacking this religion use what they call the “Separation of Church and State” clause; however one would be hard pressed to find this clause in the Constitution or the Declaration of independence. If you confront these attackers about this they refer to the “establishment” clause. Now, if you read the First Amendment it does talk about making no law respecting an establishment of religion, which is where most of those attacking Christianity stop. What these people refuse to notice is that “Congress” shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the “Exercise” therof. It is Congress that has the limitations on it, not the religion. In the upside down world of “Political Correctness”, the prohibiting of the free exercise is rampant. Under President Obama and Obama Care, many religious organizations are required to go against their beliefs (their free exercise thereof) by providing for abortions and contraception. For years, these intolerant attackers have tore down crosses, stopped free speech if it was of a religious nature, forced religious institutions to hire those who do not hold their beliefs, filed lawsuit after lawsuit to “Prohibit The Free Exercise” of pretty much only two religions, Christianity and Judaism. It amazes me that two religions that pray for the whole of mankind, that believes we are all God’s children and worthy of redemption, who pray for the non-believers,  are told they are intolerant, while those attacking these religions are propping up and encouraging a religion that states in its holiest book that non-believers must be beheaded (Qur’an Sura (8:12) - I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.).

After Barack Obama was elected, and prior to, many were questioning what his religion was. Many stated, as he did, that he was a Christian. Many took him at his word and we found that he was a member of Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ. Not too many people questioned anything after that, but a few people noticed that his church taught Black Liberation Theology. Now I am all about keeping blacks liberated, however this theology is not based in the Bible but more socialist doctrines (Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee chaired by Vallmer Jordan in 1981). I won’t get too deep into this subject here because I would like to talk more about what a minority of people saw...Obama’s Muslim roots.

I do not think that Barack Obama is a Muslim; however I do think he does have a connection to Islam from his time in Indonesia. I do believe he admires the religion of his step father even if he does not follow it. For many who believe that he is a Muslim, the President has not done a lot to show that he is not. In his 3 years he went to Egypt and apologized for the U.S., He bowed to the Saudis (and many others), he celebrated Ramadan at the Capitol, he supported the overthrow of the Egyptian government by the Muslim Brotherhood (a terrorist group), he supported the overthrow of Libya by Al-Qaeda sympathizers, he has called for Israel to return to the indefensible borders of 1967, his administration leaked the plans of our allies (Israel) to the Iranians, he invited the head of the Muslim Brotherhood into the White House, and this is just a few of such things the President has done that seems to favor Islam. It is very easy to see why those who claim he is Muslim to believe that way. And to make things worse…The DNC will open with a Jummah! Oh, I’m sorry, what’s a Jummah? A Jummah is the Friday congregational prayers that all Muslims do…You know, when you hear the Muezzin (the guy singing from the tower) melodically singing “Allahu Akbar” it is time for the DNC…oops, time for Friday prayers to begin. I wonder why the “separation of Church and State” doesn’t apply here.  Perhaps this is why Obama claimed “we are not a Christian Nation”. The Blaze Article on the DNC Jummah

Now, I have written before about Dar-al-Islam and Dar-al-harb before, but as a refresher; Dar-al-Islam is the house of Islam, Dar-al-harb is the house of war; these are the two houses that exist in Islam. Basically if you are not Muslim, you are of the house of war and therefore must be killed (refer to the previous Qur’anic Sura). The Islamic world is in a constant state of war because they are commanded to conquer the world for Allah. Now, this is not to say that All Muslims believe this way, however it is the belief of those that have declared us their enemy, which is millions.

So who is our enemy, Millions of radical Muslims ( if radical means following the teachings of one’s holy book). So if one were to apologize to this enemy, invite this enemy into our sacred halls, give vital information of those allied with us to this enemy,  give up our traditions for theirs, and pray as they do, I ask, is that giving aid and comfort to the enemy? Is this the “Fundamental Transformation” Obama was talking about?

 “Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.” - U.S. Constitution Article Three

Can a President be accused of Treason? Is the United States the “President” or We The People? The issue here is to figure out if the actions of this administration are intentional or are these people really that naïve. I believe the latter is possible only due to the fact that these people believe they are so superior intellectually to those of us who see these things, that they dismiss anything we may say, even if it is the truth. Their arrogance is unsurpassed and unfortunately could be the downfall of us all.

Stay Informed!

Hello all,

I don’t know about you but I’m enjoying watching the Olympics on T.V. and eating some Chick-Fil-A. That’s right I said it, Chick-Fil-A! I know you have heard the ruckus over this but really, this is ridiculous. The owner of Chick-Fil-A, in an interview, talks about his belief of marriage is between a man and a woman. Damn, you would have thought he said all gay people must die and they are not welcome in his restaurants. Now, it should be no surprise people, that the owner of Chick-Fil-A holds these beliefs; his stores are closed on Sundays so his employees can attend church if they choose to do so. The owner, Dan T Cathy, never said gay people are not welcome in his restaurants but apparently the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bi sexual, and Transgender) Organization interpreted his statement that way. They called for a boycott of Chick-Fil-A, hell even Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel (sound familiar?) vowed to block Chick-Fil-A restaurants from opening in the city. Emanuel has since backed off of his statement and Chick-Fil-A has earned a lot of support. Believe it or not, support has come from the Gay community. Not that they agree with Cathy’s beliefs but they do understand his right to say what he wants without fear of the government threatening this business. You know what’s pretty sad, when some of us in this country hold fast food restaurants to a higher standard than we do our President. President Obama held these same beliefs about same sex marriage, until recently. I wonder if the LGBT held a boycott of the 2008 Presidential Election.

Speaking of elections, it’s time for some more election year hijinks. I recently read about a group who sent out pre-filled out voter registration cards to some people who were deceased, some were actually mailed to peoples pets! This excerpt is from the Seattle times. “The voter registration form arrived in the mail last month with some key information already filled in: Rosie Charlston’s name was complete, as was her Seattle address. Problem is, Rosie was a black lab who died in 1998.  A group called the Voter Participation Center has touted the distribution of some 5 million registration forms in recent weeks, targeting Democratic-leaning voting blocs such as unmarried women, Blacks, Latinos, and young adults. But residents and election administrators around the country also have reported a series of bizarre and questionable mailings addressed to animals, dead people, noncitizens, and people who are already registered voters. Brenda Charlston wasn’t the only person to get documents for her pet: a Virginia man said similar documents arrived for his dead dog, Mozart, while a woman in the state got forms for her cat, Scampers. The Voter Participation Center- acknowledges that the databases it uses to contact possible voters are imperfect because they are developed from commercially collected information. The group also says it expects people who receive misdirected mail to simply throw it away. The mailing appears official, arriving in privacy envelopes with the heading “VOTERS REGISTRATION DOCUMENTS ENCLOSED.” Some information is already complete on the voter registration papers, and recipients also get an envelope to send completed forms to local elections officials”. Sounds like vote tampering to me.

Listen, in this election season you will hear all kinds of crap being said about the candidates, I call this, distractions. It has already started against Mitt Romney. Everything from “he’s a felon”, “he caused the death of a women who had no health care” to Harry Reid’s “someone told me he paid no taxes for years.” I’m sure there will be some things said about President Obama that will either not be exactly true or distortion. The point I want to make is that we are responsible for educating ourselves. Not the nightly news or the headlines in the local newspaper or the internet. We must be able to see through the distractions and stay focused on fact and record. Informed people make informed decisions. Let’s start talking to folks we know and get them informed. I don’t want another 4 years of President Obama and his failed politics and broken promises. Mitt Romney isn’t the knight in shining armor either. Look into the records of the candidates and trust what you find, not rely on CNN or FOX to decide for you.

My monthly question for you is this. What qualities are you looking for in the President of the United States? Let me and Mike know what you think. What you have to say is important. All right got to go. My chicken sandwich and waffle fries are getting cold. Congratulations to all of the athletes representing the United States of America, Job well done.

DECLARE INDEPENDENCE!!!

Hey Folks,

I know many of you are thinking I am going to go on a rant about what happened with the Supreme Court’s Ruling on The Affordable Health Care Act (Obama-care), and how it shows the depth of the cancer that is progressivism, however I believe that this big bowl of lemons Chief Justice Roberts handed us can be turned into lemonade, or as my co-worker says; “into lemon bars”. 60-70% of Americans dislike this law and I truly believe that this outrageous ruling will do what the stimulus bill did and that is to awaken the sleeping Patriots all across this great Nation. I believe it will get more people involved in this election cycle than we have witnessed in a very long time. I hope all of you will make sure that you are registered to vote and that you will ensure that everyone you know is also. The only way we are going to stop the big government intrusion into our lives is to get our voices heard!

I know I will be accused of “mailing in” this week’s newsletter but I think it is a good idea, being so close to the 4th of July, that we hear from one of my favorite founders about another Power Hungry Ruler, such as the one we currently have. As you read this rough draft of the Declaration of Independence think about how Thomas Jefferson’s legacy has been smeared and hijacked by the party that claims him as its founder. See if you can find in his words the “Racist, Deist” that these liberal liars say he was:

(Note: misspellings are mostly how these words were written in the 18th and 19th centuries.)

A Declaration of the Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in General Congress assembled.
When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for a people to advance from that subordination in which they have hitherto remained, & to assume among the powers of the earth the equal & independent station to which the laws of nature & of nature's god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the change.
We hold these truths to be sacred & undeniable; that all men are created equal & independent, that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent & inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, & liberty, & the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these ends, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying it's foundation on such principles & organising it's powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness. prudence indeed will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light & transient causes: and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. but when a long train of abuses & usurpations, begun at a distinguished period, & pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to subject them to arbitrary power, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government & to provide new guards for their future security. such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; & such is now the necessity which constrains them to expunge their former systems of government. the history of his present majesty, is a history of unremitting injuries and usurpations, among which no one fact stands single or solitary to contradict the uniform tenor of the rest, all of which have in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. to prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world, for the truth of which we pledge a faith yet unsullied by falsehood.


he has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good;
he has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate & pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has neglected utterly to attend to them;
he has refused to pass other laws for the accomodation of large districts of people unless those people would relinquish the right of representation, a right inestimable to them, formidable to tyrants alone;
he has dissolved Representative houses repeatedly & continually, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people;
he has refused for a long space of time to cause others to be elected, whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise, the state remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, & convulsions within;
he has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither; & raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands;
he has suffered the administration of justice totally to cease in some of these colonies, refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers;
he has made our judges dependant on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and amount of their salaries;
he has erected a multitude of new offices by a self-assumed power, & sent hither swarms of officers to harrass our people & eat out their substance;
he has kept among us in times of peace standing armies & ships of war;
he has affected to render the military, independent of & superior to the civil power;
he has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitutions and unacknoleged by our laws; giving his assent to their pretended acts of legislation, for quartering large bodies of armed troops among us;
for protecting them by a mock-trial from punishment for any murders they should commit on the inhabitants of these states;
for cutting off our trade with all parts of the world;
for imposing taxes on us without our consent;
for depriving us of the benefits of trial by jury;

for transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offences;

for taking away our charters, & altering fundamentally the forms of our governments;
for suspending our own legislatures & declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever;
he has abdicated government here, withdrawing his governors, & declaring us out of his allegiance & protection;
he has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns & destroyed the lives of our people;
he is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation & tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty & perfidy unworthy the head of a civilized nation;
he has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, & conditions of existence;

he has incited treasonable insurrections in our fellow-subjects, with the allurements of forfeiture & confiscation of our property;
he has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it's most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. this piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the CHRISTIAN king of Great Britain. determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce: and that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them, & murdering the people upon whom he also obtruded them; thus paying off former crimes committed against the liberties of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of another.

In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms; our repeated petitions have been answered by repeated injury. a prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a people who mean to be free. future ages will scarce believe that the hardiness of one man, adventured within the short compass of 12 years only, on so many acts of tyranny without a mask, over a people fostered & fixed in principles of liberty.

Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. we have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend a jurisdiction over these our states. we have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration & settlement here, no one of which could warrant so strange a pretension: that these were effected at the expence of our own blood & treasure, unassisted by the wealth or the strength of Great Britain: that in constituting indeed our several forms of government, we had adopted one common king, thereby laying a foundation for perpetual league & amity with them: but that submission to their parliament was no part of our constitution, nor ever in idea, if history may be credited: and we appealed to their native justice & magnanimity, as well as to the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations which were likely to interrupt our correspondence & connection. they too have been deaf to the voice of justice & of consanguinity, & when occasions have been given them, by the regular course of their laws, of removing from their councils the disturbers of our harmony, they have by their free election re-established them in power. at this very time too they are permitting their chief magistrate to send over not only soldiers of our common blood, but Scotch & foreign mercenaries to invade & deluge us in blood. these facts have given the last stab to agonizing affection, and manly spirit bids us to renounce for ever these unfeeling brethren. we must endeavor to forget our former love for them, and to hold them as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends. we might have been a free & great people together; but a communication of grandeur & of freedom it seems is below their dignity. be it so, since they will have it: the road to glory & happiness is open to us too; we will climb it in a separate state, and acquiesce in the necessity which pronounces our everlasting Adieu!
We therefore the representatives of the United States of America in General Congress assembled do, in the name & by authority of the good people of these states, reject and renounce a11 allegiance & subjection to the kings of Great Britain & all others who may hereafter claim by, through, or under them; we utterly dissolve & break off a11 political connection which may have heretofore subsisted between us & the people or parliament of Great Britain; and finally we do assert and declare these a colonies to be free and independent states, and that as free & independent states they shall hereafter have power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, & to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, & our sacred honour.


Well Folks, there you have it. Our current administration isn’t doing everything this Tyrant did, but I find it odd that I can imagine it, for the first time in my life with an American President. By no means am I advocating a violent revolution or bloodshed, but I vow to not stand by while any man, group of men, government, or alliance threatens my children’s individual freedom. It is for this reason I started the groups I did. It is for this reason I plead with you in these newsletters. It is for this reason I trust other Patriots will heed the call to take back what our forefathers gave us. What has happened to our country took almost 100 years to happen and will not be changed in one election. The only thing that will change it is eternal vigilance by Patriots like you!

I hope all of you have a great (and safe) 4th of July!

P.S. -The Declaration of Independence is a great read for the Fourth of July, how about making it a tradition.
