Patriotism alive or dead?

 

Old Glory, you wave proudly, without regard to danger, never do you discriminate from where you fly, always trusting, forever proud; you wrap yourself around the fallen, singing their last praises to the heavens.

And so, with such honor bestowed upon our flag do we wonder what sentiments citizens minds contain.  The flag has taken serious abuse in the name of freedom, dragged across the seas, shot at, shot down and still she climbed back up; she proudly flew over lands reclaimed for freedom sake; but the most abuse she gets is on the very soil she protects. Do we take these freedoms too lightly, thinking freedom a cheap commodity?

A resurgence of patriotism seems a rising event, tea parties held on town greens displaying Old Glory proud and tall; from New England porches to southern sea side resorts, to mid-west ranches to the far western shore homes she waves at the dawn light and bids us adieu at dusk. Glorious days, with only a trace billowy white, Old Glory reaches high to kiss the sky.

What ever happened to the flag abusers of the sixties, in their tie-dyed shirts and worn out jeans, hugging to their hips, smoking and popping the latest drug; giving them a chance to find themselves, seek a higher vision of life. They took to the streets with Old Glory dragging behind, through the mud or dust of the street, threw her into a heap and tossed a match upon her.  Their right of freedom of speech, said they could and they did.  None knew the feeling of oppression, heavy on your soul, taking your very breath away; the spoiled little children of freedom’s land, complacent in their ways; freedom a cheap commodity.

If they found themselves, of this I am not certain, wisdom of freedom, liberty and pursuit of happiness; seems lost forever, in the minds of the wretched spoiled sixties hippies now known as progressive liberals.  From where they came they brought their children; demonstrations and anti-American rhetoric by day and safe beds of complacency by night.

Is patriotism alive or dead; perhaps it is just asleep for some but very much alive in the once silent, majority making up the tea party movement.

Today a patriot, proud to be free, took a walk on a maple lined street, past historic homes where men talked of the Revolution and where Washington encamped, a mile or two away; the Declaration of Independence, voted on in July.  The patriot approached the village post office, there a package containing a very rare copy of the Declaration of Independence awaited him; people passed him on their hurried way to somewhere. He stopped, upon the ground, crumpled and dirty, Old Glory lay; yet Americans walked by her, on her and did not care; the patriot leaned down and in his arm he held her, in the other he held the package.

Together, they walked past the old historic homes, Old Glory and the Declaration of Independence, both old and tattered, both still loved; by a patriot.

OBAMA – America’s Top Spy – Caught spying on Britain

 

How has it come that our leader, our President, bows to our enemies and spies upon our allies; America appears, sadly as a most tarnished nation. Can we shine again? I see only one direction the people of America can direct themselves, that is to impeach and remove from office the President and all those found implicated.

President Obama, spied on the Britain, gathered information and with confidential information regarding UK’s Trident missiles, agreed to share such with the Russians in exchange for a treaty with them, disclosing our nuclear storehouse, and agreeing a reduction of the storehouse; making us vulnerable to a serious attack, moreover destroying our relationship with England. The senate passed the treaty with no disclosure to American citizens, our future security handed over to the Russians along with England’s; quite a tyrannical move.

Where do we go from here, do we slumber our way along, hoping for the next election comes before all of America crumbles or worse yet, before we lose all of our allies with the total destruction of the Constitution? Would we be quick in coming to Obama’s aid should England revolt against his actions; I believe the majority of citizens with eyes open widely will hand him over with no remorse. Do Americans wonder why such a treasonous move never reached the media and only when Wiki leaks put it out, that we discovered the move? Then did we see an outcry come from any corner of Congress or the general population?

Silence can be seen as ignorant, unknowing, fearful or a mass readying for combat. It is with great hope, Americans are readying themselves, will soon rise up and tear down the tyrannical regime posing itself as a proper Constitutional administration.

In documents recently revealed, we discover the US shall pass along to Russia the serial numbers of all Trident submarines owned by Britain, thus giving Russia a full disclosure of Britain’s arsenal. In 2009, Obama asked London for permission for such a disclosure however a direct and expected, answer in the negative was returned. Did Obama expect Britain to agree? Why would a nation disclose to others matters of national security? We now wonder why Obama would disclose Britain’s security information, our ally, for a treaty with Russia, giving away part of security? Certainly, we find no good coming from such a treaty and destroying our relationship with Britain.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/wikileaks/8304654/WikiLeaks-cables-US-agrees-to-tell-Russia-Britains-nuclear-secrets.html

Do we see a pattern of destruction, the tearing down and apart of America before our eyes? Where will Americans turn when an ally is needed as we try to restructure after we have fallen? Is this Obama’s way of creating a perfect plan for complete despotic rule?

Is the silence out of ignorance or unknowing or fear; I believe it is not but that the masses are readying themselves, to survive oppression and despotic rule, and achieve restoration of a true Constitutional administration. Rid America of her top spy, Obama and get on with the restoration.

Commonplace Slavery

Dear patriots,

With grave misgivings, the support of slavery beginning with benevolent aspects, hoping to give the people a better future from where they came; did indeed escalate to the commerce the buying and selling of people. While assumed people of ignorance, it is the ignorance of our culture, to take free people and enslave them into our free nation. Should we have so thought our culture to be superior to theirs? My thought of course is our founders did so as a method to bring these people to a better land, something better than savagery, however not expecting beyond such to develop into one of commerce.

The intention of many, as in the case of Jefferson, was that of teaching skills and trades, giving these people a method of self –sufficiency. To this end, numerous were freed when it became safe to allow them to leave. One must understand the times, knowing well the dangers of freed slaves, vulnerable being not socially wise; dare I admit being saved upon a plantation, a better life for slaves.

Freedom comes in forms, yet to keep one oppressed beyond the comfort of safe living, is by any standard under our creator, bad. Let a man think and work in free, protect only as he wants protection. Allow a man his beliefs, letting him express such as he chooses and do not impose upon a man your beliefs thinking your belief is of a higher form. Our creator allows all men to believe as he desires, understanding his roots in the universe and sharing the greatest virtue, love. It is from these beliefs, our sharing of love and peace, which brings us to this nation. No such person absent in their being such virtues need be here, not as I or we are better but it is against our foundations building blocks and cannot exist within a republic of freedom and liberty, the two cannot coexist.

Now in this thought, I need ask why such people who live against our principles are allow to continue their practices without redress. The wise and noble friend and patriot to freedom, Thomas Jefferson aptly wrote: “Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing [a people] to slavery.” Do we ascribe to slavery of a people for profit or do we ascribe solely to ‘all men are created equal’ and should by this, be free?

Ask by what means men are in slavery in this nation? A simple question with an answer complex in thought, philosophically universal, describes America today, whether agreed by the people or naught. The vulnerability of the slaves upon their immediate freedom in the 19^th century, brought to its end, plantation slavery, the commerce of slaves for such bought labor, however, by regard did anyone cautiously free these slaves? The war’s end put upon the nation a new mass of people, skilled in laborious trades but lacking in most social skills. Greed and corruption found these vulnerable socially unwise people easy targets for exploitation. Such entities imposing their greed and corruption upon these people posed as benevolent individuals and entities, entrusting the freed slaves, causing them to trust, never realizing they only traded one master for another.

Friends, you either do not realize this fact or deny it, the biggest corrupt entity is the democratic party. For their own means of support, they have traded men like cattle for decades, ah, centuries and yet the good patriots have allowed its existence. How do we call men free, and allow the same Democratic Party to expound on the rights of oppressed people, so far as to rally people for civil rights. The people understood civil rights yet again another event posed as good, only to convince them to be further enslaved. Do not believe in their false benevolent acts, they seek only to enslave, trading votes for programs. The enslaved shall never be free, until such commerce [of people] stopped.

Every man needs to know and understand they are free, opportunities abound, prosperity is but a dream away, yet thousands, dare I say, millions are enslaved. The enslaved given services and money in exchange for servitude to the Democratic Party provides false hope, false kindness, with no benevolent expression. Dear friends, this party is enslaving us also, for they have us working out our dreams only to take it away in taxes, giving our money to the enslaved, trading our labor for the votes of the enslaved. This must stop, there needs to be a redress of such grievances, exposure of modern slavery.

Slavery has become commonplace, a means by which one party can and does commit a crime against the citizens with no recourse or punishment. It is deliberate in nature, causing generations to be impoverished and under achieve. By law and common patriot decency, you cannot keep a man enslaved, yet these poor souls do not know freedom; show them real freedom, and give them freedom. Educate the masses, expose the common practice of slavery, give light onto the atrocities of modern slavery; do this wise in thought for freedom of all men.

He spoke these words…..

 "if we can but prevent the government from wasting the labours of the people, under the pretence of taking care of them, they must become happy." Thomas Jefferson
Dear Mr. Jefferson,
It is decades, ah, centuries since your words passed your lips, flowed from your pen and yet they spoke of the truths to be. You dared speak the truth, for this we received freedom, your words ring today in every patriots heart, On walls across America your words are hung, reminding us of what you and your fellow patriots sacrificed to give for future generations.
Today we stand in your honor, holding your words close to our patriotic hearts, giving thought how past words can keep this republic alive. Having been given independence a treasure beheld only to those worth of keeping it, we grasp it, hold it tight; we are the generation which is worthy and will restore this shining city. Be patient in your spirit, we are but men, as you, so inspired by principles held within your soul, that we may rise to this occasion and accomplish our task.
The government gained the confidence of the people, giving them rewards for obedience at the voting booths, corruption ensued furthering their cause. One generation slide under the door to another debts held by the last, each eventually assuming it their duty to take on such debt. Sadly the Constitution was pulled from end to end, deforming it until, dare say I it was abhorring seeing it in such condition. What American could recognize it, unless having once seen it in fine condition, I too would not know it, nor you Mr. Jefferson, but those that knew it, like I, are in a great position to restore it. We see the corruption from which the government uses to control the people; giving them rewards, telling them it is for them, to care for them in a kindly manner; while they are stealing in the name of taxation [without representation], to pay for these rewards. How the people cannot see the scoundrels taking their money, changing hands and giving it to those who are not worthy, with words of kindness flowing through their lying lips? Men cannot work a days labor and receive payment enough, taxes eat into a man’s pocket leaving little for bread. Many may be blind or deaf to the corruption but we are on our watch, the government hears not our demand for redress but chooses to ignore us.
Our recourse is simple in thought yet as you have left us in your words, the theory complex yet in dire need of doing. We are ready at hand, we ask for your support, give us what is needed. Your words taken to heart and mind, shall carry us through our second journey to re- Independence.
Your honorable patriot friend,
A Jeffersonian

I came, I saw, I left it free

 

He was a farm boy, the son of a Russian immigrant, well learned in the strive for freedom, volunteerism was the norm on the farm or you got a job less appealing for having not volunteered. When the word of volunteering for a mission important for the cause was mentioned, with hat in hand he waved up high, with a zealous cheer he cried I: I volunteer!

His job, he volunteered to do, nothing could be greater a sacrifice for a boy of 17, a scout.  The Company consisted of young boys and men, some eagerly volunteered and others selected, but all learned quickly compassion for each other, and a deep sense of survival for each other as they were so crudely placed upon a wild island in the Pacific with the sheer task of discovering where the Japanese were hunkered in. 

No man could live in that hole, or could they? For Peter it seemed impossible to imagine, to fathom but they learned Japanese would stop at nothing to hide themselves from the enemy, wait it out and pounce upon them with all life and strength bestowed upon them from their creator. Viciously they attacked, killing fields of soldiers, mangled and dead, blood spilled like streams of water, going from something living to lifelessness. For a young boy fresh off the farm, the death fields where hard to understand, death was natural and common on the farm; animals, older generations all lived and died in a natural sequence of normal events but, war was not natural and this horrid scene did not play well in his young mind.

His mind and soul finally came to an understanding, live or die. He chose to live but still had to bargain with God on the thought perhaps his destiny might be the here and now with no hereafter; therefore to God he asked forgiveness for his killing, but for God to understand he must do it for survival of his own being as well as for freedom alone. There was no room, no place for Japanese rule or German rule in the world, no man should live under such oppression. All too well, he knew of oppression, his father’s words rang in his ears, ‘Freedom, it is the only descent way for a man to live, oppression brings death to the people,’ over and over he heard it louder than the sounds of death around him. God heard him, and gave him the strength to carry not only himself through but others he helped along the muddy paths.

Disease and injuries plagued him, yet he fought on, he was a scout, there was no evacuation for the scouts, they went in before others landed on the beaches, making it easier for the troops; yet we know they were just fodder for Japanese, waiting quietly, still, in the underbrush. Three times he went in, three times he came out with only two or three left in his group, leaving behind friends that would be in his heart for a lifetime. God was working through him, his strength endured, his father’s words gave him the energy, the will to carry forth the mission he had volunteered to do, Freedom was won, his contribution a success, he left the Pacific free.

We all have heard these stories, we hear them becoming teary as we go through the words but do we really look beyond the words? All soldiers of freedom have the commonality of being a patriot guided by their creator, to do something ordinary but have it accomplish something extraordinary. Veteran’s Day comes and goes, we think short but honorable thoughts about veterans then the day passes until next year. I rather feel our freedom is at stake each day, and every soldier of freedom uses his ability to defend American knowing the threat of oppression from an enemy, externally or within, can happen under their watch and they will be ready.

Soldiering, volunteering, in the name of freedom, is a powerful thing, one that Peter and all others like him understand; they do it because they know there is no other substitute for freedom, our creator bestowed upon us liberty and no man or government shall take that away because oppression only begets death – death to people and to a nation. The need for patriotism is high, volunteering is as important today as it was for this young soldier over 65 years ago – consider joining in the spirit of this soldier, volunteer for freedom, become a patriot, demand the redressing of all complaints threatening our freedom and liberties. Freedom is not free, we need to pay for it through volunteering to be on the watch. 

The weakening of the dollar

My dearest Patriots,

It has come to my attention from the news I hear our government in all its lack of caring and knowledge of our supreme law, has begun to dig itself and our country and ever deeper hole. Do we dare begin to know how the people shall be able to climb out of this hole or then begin to fill it in again? I am most apprehensive to make any judgment upon what the future shall hold for this republic should the people not become proactively reactive to the current events.

The government, not wanting to call a rose a rose, has decided calling by quite another name might indeed change the view of it. therefore able to pass this off to the people as something different. But the people are so aware, so attentive. I am so proud of the people. A rose is a rose, call it by any other name, and you shall still have rose for we can see it as a rose and smell as one as well. Surely I should have used the analogy of a fish, it this quite all smells like a fish yard from where I stand.

In order to make up for the loss of funds, needed to keep such pork projects running, or for other purposes, making the best souls decide to stir within their graves, print enough money to satisfy their needs.  But not to tell the people, not to let anyone know a printing press is spitting out money, they have decided to call it quantitative easing.

Financial history tells us quantitative easing is a process by which securities are bought up and sold to financial institutions, flooding the money market with cash, which should ease up restricted money for lending. This process while in theory should spark growth, it could also if there is no interest in buying and the goods supply remains untouched, raise costs, starting an inflation process. Surely, it  is quite understood, people without jobs cannot purchase goods, or borrow, even at low prices or near zero interest, what shall happen with inflation upon them,

Our problem is of course, where does the money come from to create the quantitative easing? Printing the money to buy the bonds is absolutely, without question one of which we cannot take risk.  Being this administration   is by no means transparent, we cannot begin to believe this move is one of financial intelligence. The dollar shall weaken, our country shall suffer, the American people need to stop this wild spending or the financial hole they dig shall be too great for one generation to climb out from.

To Know Her is To Love Her

There is something stirring, something that grabs at you when in a gentle wind that flag waves gently. For most people, they walk by her and never even notice her. Sad really, that we have become so complacent in our lives that we don't even notice her.
For me I notice. I have her waving on the side of my front door, an old door, 227 years old. The door, the house has seen a lot of history and I respect it, envy what it has seen. For the door, it has had many a flag waving beside it, started out with 13 stars and worked its way all the way up to 50, quite thing it did see. Besides the flag beside it,  many men have passed through this door, some quite important to our history. It is all history worth knowing, it is our past. It is all about what is behind, what is in old glory.

Old glory stands for all of us, it stands for our spirit for freedom, for our strength and fortitude in standing up to our adveseries, it stands for our all the fallen men and women in the name of her, it stands for our the faith our founding fathers had in what they were creating and its future, it stands for America. She is America, she waves because she knows everything about us and is proud, she knows our fears, our strengths and our hopes, she knows we have what it takes to keep her going.

There is nothing more beautiful than Old Glory waving in the breeze. She is the perfect picture of America. Old Glory is the perfect portrait of America.

So, why does it seem that no one is watching? They should be. What people do not know is that Old Glory has a tremendous job and she thinks she is failing. She is great, grandest thing I ever saw but she is saddened by the disinterest in her, she does not know why they do not love her. If you do not understand, know what she stands for, why she waves, what history she is waving for, what men and women she is flying over, what battle fields she has conquered in the name of freedom, what blood has been shed upon her, what acheivements and officers have been accomplished and sworn in beside her then you do not know her, you need to know her. What people do not know is that if you do not love her, the heart beat of America goes down. Remember love comes from the heart, and when the heart suffers so does the heartbeat. Old Glory is the beacon of America, you can watch her and feel the heartbeat of America coming from her. Each beat is from each American that holds her proud salutes her each time they see her, knows what she stands for, truly knows her and is a proud American. Now her beat shall be strong and the beacon of America shall shine for all to see and all to know ---- WE LOVE HER BECAUSE WE KNOW HER .... God Bless America !!

The Writing on the Wall

Summer weeks have past, Americans rather than head the beaches have been heading to tea parties and Town Hall Meetings. From shaking sand of beach towels to waving flags how wonderful. Finally, Americans are not sleeping in hammocks on a sunny summer afternoon hoping the economy will strengthen by itself and the government will to do right by them but knowing America's future, [their future], is relying on them to be proactive. Americans have been awakened.

While it is pleasing to see Americans waving flags and signs, understanding why the government is not their best friend, why the government is trying to take over their lives, why the government is getting bigger rather than smaller and why they must stand up to be counted as part of We the People, Americans still need to be educated on history to not just understand but to truly know why the not only stand up but why it is imperative to take a stand.

I read the writing on the wall, it was left there so we could learn from the past and not repeat history. How many Americans are reading the wall? Instead of sitting in your lounge chair under the shade of the maple reading a summer novel, one should with full awakened alertness read the writing on the wall, written by those wanted to save us from their past horrors.

We must not believe the words that come from the government giving a picture of an America where all will be taken care of rather than be productive on our own. Give heed to those that wave flags and signs to awaken your patriotic spirit. The government that gives can take away, this government shall be unlike no other in the past that has followed this same tactic of giving to the people. Nothing comes for free and when you take free give aways from the government you will quickly discover your freedoms are gone and all income goes to pay for your freebies.

Nothing is for free, not even freedom, all comes at a price. It is far better to pay for freedom by our vigilance and our blood than to give it up and pay for freebies with our freedom and income. America was born from the blood of patriots and it shall thrive with the blood of today's patriots. Today's patriots stand up for the Constitution, for our freedoms, for all Americans.

The wall tells us that men before our time and in our time have risen to great power with words of give aways or words of hope for change. When times were hard, words of hope came to weary ears as a soothing comfort but such words were cloaked with hope but truthfully took all their freedoms, enslaved them through fear of becoming part of the greatest slaughter of innocent people. Blame the innocent, make them the scapegoat and put fear in all not to stand up or ask questions. The writing is there, read it.

Do not be blinded by the glitter of the cloak that hides the truth. When the people begin to recognize the cloak as false, the cloak changes but the same agenda is still hiding behind it. You must be diligent in your patriot spirit and pull off the cloaks to expose the truth, lest history shall repeat itself.

When the government says things are working well when all evidence show otherwise, believe what you see. Debt climbing, no new jobs, health care crisis, banking industry and auto industry controlled by the government and unions all show an America in trouble. No words that say things are going well can be believed, they are cloaks to suck you into their agenda, to have you wake up to an enslaved state where the fear to ask questions, to stand up, to trust your neighbor shall be of the past. Is this the America you want?

Freedom is worth our efforts, it is worth preserving and standing up for. The writing on the wall is worthy of being read. Summer days can be lazy days but this summer is not one to be lazy but rather to be alert and proactive, giving our attention to maintaining our beloved freedoms. Never again, never again, they said, let us keep their dream - never again --- never again shall people be slaughter in the name of a twisted socialist agenda. Read the writing on the wall -- never again ---- patriots arise.
