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.

The Failing of Progressive Thinkers

“ It cannot be denied that we have among us a sect who believe that to contain whatever is perfect in human institutions; that the members of this sect have, many of them, name & offices which stand high in the estimation of our countrymen. I still rely that the great mass of our community is untainted with these heresies, as is it’s head. On this I build my hope that we have not labored in vain; and that our experiment will still prove that men can be governed by reason, “you said in your letter to Mr. Mason on February 1791 of which I would like to discuss, Mr. Jefferson. The sect you discuss I am most afraid has never disappeared although from time to time we have at the head one which is tainted by those subscribing to those heresies. We have been most fortunate your labour was not in vain, the people being attentive to the matters of freedom held to those principles, nothing less desired among the masses. Unfortunately, the attentiveness became too laborious for many, seeing slumber under peace desirable over watchfulness for freedom’s enemy. I dare say, Mr. Jefferson, a rude awakening came forth upon this new generation, yet a large sect of this generation still dizzy on a socialist dream stupor. It is the latter and no accountability for their drunkenness behavior, inflicting the country, laws, bills, mandates, and regulations far surpassing common sense. As young people these minorities, known as progressive thinkers, hippies or the like; held free speech rallies condemning the support of spreading freedom, calling any war; bad and unjust, all soldiers labeled murders. If treason was apparent, no one noticed it, nor did they find themselves accountable, giving them undeclared acceptance; therefore continued opening doors in the political arena as they matured in body but not of brain. Corruption has run rampant amongst all socialist thinkers bringing them to communism, as a good change for a country built on freedom.

I do not know should these Progressives as they choose themselves called, [ Communist, or Socialist, Marxist they are clearly recognized], see themselves as rightfully chosen in leading the country, their views and opinions may not be harmful, left alone without implementation, yet this is not so. Such Progressives find themselves, so excited, in control over the masses. Being now drunk upon not just progressive ideology but their control, has them on a full run to gain all control and lock up freedom forever from the masses. One question posed them without sensible answer, how does one run or control the masses with no desire for labour, having the masses decidedly unwilling for oppression; with no money for continuation of unworthy programmed mandates; how then does one operate a country under such circumstances? I fear they have no answer, nor want to contemplate such, the very thought of the laboring masses not willing to labour and give over all proceeds of labour does not approach their thinking. This demonstrates the stupor they dizzily rule, it is not real, nor shall it last.

While the progressives marched in rallies and ran for offices unqualified to do so, the majority educated themselves, ran businesses and labored in their professions; raising the next generation with values and principles; to this end we find the majority now well attentive to the needs of America and find your words, Mr. Jefferson, comforting and enlightening, causing them to rise up against the insanity in our government. I find comfort and feel hope in their efforts, the work is not easy but, no one denies freedom is easy to maintain. Your work shall never be considered in vain, the country has had few disruptions in peace, only finding itself in one civil war and it strengthen the values of equality. Perhaps such failure to redress many complaints against our government robs us today, the ability for moving in the direction of revolt with ease. The people agreeing by majority, the grievances presented are tyrannical and many, they fear the minority’s wrath, for what reason I do not understand. No minority as these progressives are, can in reality keep from us our freedom, but we are a kind majority, desiring restoration to freedom without bloodshed; whether this be reality or naught, I do not know. I do know, Mr. Jefferson, there remains hope in the people, and should we need a revolt to restore our freedom we shall find in every man the will to fight, and they shall never back down.

Please accept my heartfelt thanks for your words of encouragement, the people praise your words and hold them dear to their hearts, it makes our days enduring our grievances lesser a suffer.

Yours in Liberty,

A Jeffersonian

Feel my hand, it is I ..

It has been said no man believes until he has felt the hand and his fingers have touched the wound, the first of these men to be Thomas, hence the ‘doubting Thomas’ label. Is it so difficult to believe without feeling, seeing; do men need convincing of the truth or is their will to believe so weakened they must feel the hand?

There are many truths to behold, the most important truth is that which saves us. The word is written, the story told, but we must remember above all things we have the will, the free will to allow our creators principles to guide us. Is our desire to be oppressed, without access to the joys of our creator? Is it his word that tells us to live in oppression, to give up our worldly pleasures for the good of the people, the good of the world or are the words by a man seeking to be God, declaring himself to be supreme with no principles but those created by himself? Are these things he creates sustainable or shall they crash down upon him and all those he controls where good prevails and rises up around the destruction? Is the latter that through the centuries and millenniums dictate to be fact, the rising and falling of empires, trying to be god, but failing as good rises up to destroy that which is evil.

I say, behold the truth, if you do not see it, look for it. You say to me, if the truth be so easy to find, why must you seek so hard to find it; but you must seek it where you least expect it, for there hidden the truth lies. The truth does not hide from you, but you have hidden yourself from it. You chose to either to open your eyes or slumber.

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. 

Is the Past repeating itself?

I took the time, not for old time sake, but to provoke some thought; to see the old classic mini series: Winds of War. Really, I did not need to see this in order for me to know or see the Past coming quickly up behind me, ready to grab me yet it was the movie that made me want to scream out, "Does anyone see what is coming? Do we need to repeat this?"

It was the year 1939 and much of the world allowed this new leader of Germany to run rampant over the European nations. So long as the alligator is not eating you, just turn your head or shake your head, say to yourself: too bad, poor folks, glad it is not me. But that was the wrong method of thinking. It did not take a scientist, a genius to see this man was crazy. Yet, hundreds, thousands believed his rants and followed this guy. He made decrees that made your skin crawl but people who should have known better, should have stood up against him, just followed and carried out the decrees. How is it that any human could think of another human, perhaps their neighbor as unworthy to live because they believed differently than you. Remember, it was just not Jews that this man sentenced to death but devout Christians, handicapped, even those that did not appear to be of 'good' stock.

You can see from history this man had a way with words, his words though false nonetheless were presented with such charisma to the masses that the masses believed them, The masses were in awe over him, they heard words that put blame upon certain people for their misfortunes from WWI, they heard words that somehow made them feel better after thinking revenge on these certain people would make their lives better. The masses acted like zombies, carrying out the decrees no matter how horrid, turning in their neighbors of years, taking property of the Jews, ratting out others that had sense to try to stop it. How could sensible people all of a sudden become so senseless? It was those words.

It was not just those words that did it. There was also a sense among many that Hitler would go away, that he would stop at - say Poland, and go no further. People thought they had gone through hard times before and things changed so they needed only to wait things out and better times would come. People also thought if they stuck their heads in the sand that when they extracted their buried heads things would be fine again. These people allowed the autocracies  to  take place, they also where among those that were sent to concentration camps to end their lives there. I wonder how many of these looked back and wished they had done differently, had left when they could, would have organized and fought back; rather than give their lives to a cause of a crazy man. I dare say, all of them.

So how is that we hear these words repeated and we just sit there listening but not doing anything about it. How is it that decrees that the people did not vote for are being allowed to take hold? How is it that we are allowing our supreme law, the Constitution to be thrown off to the side with hardly a whimper? Do we not see the writing on the wall, do we not hear words that sound good but are false words only to draw you in? Are we not strong enough to close our ears to these words and stand up to fight for what is ours? Do we not see that each move this man makes draws us closer and closer to a  government run state with no power to the people? With directives that are not voted on being made each day our freedoms, our rights, our liberties are ignored, taken away from us. Where is the fortitude, the fighting genes, the desire for freedom that our forefathers had? Has all that been bred out of us?

I still have the genes within me, I still feel freedom in my veins, I still have God within my soul  and I will rally with others that do also. I will not lie down and allow my country to be taken away, it is too good to give away. I will not stay and be given up by neighbors that are senseless but will leave to live and fight for what is mine.  My forefathers, my ancestors gave their lives for this freedom land we call America and no man or his followers will take it away.

Wake up - hear the right words, turn deaf years on the false ones, stand up before you are forced to sit down, fight for freedom before there is no fight left, live for freedom before they make you die for not being of the right stock for their new regime.

We must never forget

The news is hitting us all around, from every angle, this is wrong, this is bad, this change is not good, this law will not work, this tax will hurt us, oh the economy is draining us, oh our security is being jeopardized, what will we do? We are worried, we are forced to be worried because the news wants us to be worried, to be concerned, for us to be all in knots.
So, what do we do? Do we rant and rave like we are? Do we whine and complain like we do? I hear in place I go someone whining, complaining, ranting and raving about what is going on, what changes are happening that they do not like, what new taxes are going to be imposed on the people that will only hurt the people, hurt the economy, how our national security is being whittled away. Oh the whining, oh the complaining it goes on and on. I feel for these people I really do. I know their pain, I really do.
People are losing their jobs, they are losing their homes, businesses and they don't know what to do. They are right, they have the right to complain, rant and rave about what is going on. But is that enough? Is that what will make it right, really right again?
Sixty years ago there was a young man that stepped in and said I will make it right, I will fix the wrongs, I will make jobs where there are no jobs, I will give those with no money funds to buy things again, I will give those with no food a full plate to eat again, I will give education to the children, there will be new businesses, there will be prosperity in this land. He asked the people if that is what they wanted and if they did all they needed to do is to stand by him, help him in cleaning out the wrong in the land, wiping out all that is bad in the land to make all things good and right. The people listened and went along with it.
They saw the wrongs in what the man did, they had to, but they blindly just went along with it because they loved the idea of what the man said they were going to get. The old saying - be careful what you ask for, you just might get it. You just might be surprised how you get it.
By the time things go out of hand the people whined, complained, ranted and raved. They did it in private, by this time, to do this in public would mean prison or be shot. It grew and grew, the man got more power, until the whole world knew his power, knew his craziness but for thousands, millions it was too late.
What happened? Did the whining and complaining do anything? Did the ranting and raving do anything? The only thing it might have done was to send many to prison, others to a certain death. But, did it change anything for good. Most likely not. The act of just complaining, whining, ranting and raving about what is not good, what is bad will change nothing. So, what did work? What will work?
The only thing that will work, what did work was the act of change. If you can not help in the change then just to whine or complain or rant or rave about what is happening will do nothing. If your complaining reaches someone that acts then your complaining was an act to create another to put something else into motion so your complaining must be directed at a group that will listen and act upon it otherwise your complaining futile. If you want to make a difference you must think of what change you wish to create and go about creating that change. This is the only way to make the wrongs right and the bads good again. In World War II it took a world of soldiers to fight back a man's [Hitler] army and the man himself. It took the strength of armies to make the change. Too much power had been allowed to be created, too much death had been allowed, armies with hearts their sleeves, with God on their shoulders moved in and made the world right again.
Here we are 60 years ago. President Eisenhower, then General Eisenhower said to his men, 'take pictures, lots of pictures, because someday, some son of a bitch will say this never happened.' Today, 60 years ago, the United Kingdom teaches its students the Holocaust was just a myth. A myth is something that never really happened. Those photos, the survivors all know it happened, the people of Germany made to help bury the dead, the victims remember. We know that no matter how much we say it did not happen, it happened. Do not forget, do not allow such a time to be diluted in your mind. Such horrors brought a world of armies to come with their God to create a miracle of survival. We must not forget the survival, the overcoming of this man, the peace that sprung from it all. The change of turning the wrongs to right.
How is it that because the Muslims say it offends them that we change history? How is it that we allow one man, one group of people to say what we will think and what we will do? Do we have eyes to see and ears to hear? Do we have memories to remember? Why are we not using senses? Have we lost them? History they say will repeat itself if we do not learn from it. How big of a lesson must we be taught to learn not to repeat such history? Do we not think that Hitler and his horrors was big enough to remember? Many today think not, many say it never happened, therefore how can you remember something that did not happen? But, this is a Hitler tactic, it is a tactic, just like one used 60 years ago, don't forget it. Remember, remember, don't repeat history. See the wrong changes, hear the wrongs and know the changes that need to be done to take back, turn back our country where the wrongs will be right. Put our constitution back on the pedestal where it needs to be. Raise the flag, fly it and salute it proudly, once again. We need to make the changes, we need not to complain but to make the changes together. Each one of us, one by one, together each of us need to spring up from our grassy lawns and gather in heart and mind, on foot, together in strength to make the changes. Bring back the right, make it good again. Remember to remember, never forget, they made history so we not suffer today.

From yesterdays freedom's blood springs peace for today, if we only remember.

Flaws in Evil lets Good Prevail

In all of history, in all of the universe you will find that good prevails and evil fails, it just happens, so the question is why does it happen? The answer is quite simple. In all evil there is always a flaw. The method of evil is not of interest, criminals, terrorists, dictators, they all act within a mind where they believe their actions are just for a certain cause important to them. A criminal works within his own personal cause and within his own mind believes that it is just and good for him to this for his own benefit. Each time he succeeds he mind rises to a new height allowing him to do it again believing he is allowed to do it again, that he is given permission to do it again because he has not been told not to. The shear act of getting away with it has given the criminal the 'okay ticket' to do it again and again, that is in his mind. A terrorist works within the same way, each time they get away with a new terrorist attack they will do it again and again. All evil doers work within this same frame work.
So why do they work like this? It's simple. Unless they are caught they continue and they will continue at a higher rate if they are not caught because they are empowered by the shear fact of their evil power. It is their evil ego that drives them and this ego empowers them more and more each time they are not caught giving them the thought they have great power over others. There is nothing different about them, it is simply that they have not been caught yet. Every criminal, whether average criminal acting on their own, a political terrorist, a political dictator, or any other evil minded, evil doer with evil thoughts and evil minded actions on your mind, you will at one point make a mistake, it is is this mistake that you will make that is your flaw, all evil has that flaw. It is that flaw that will bring them down.
So now lets take a look closely at what is going on now. We have a country that is being taken over by a group. This was a long time coming. A long time in planning. Long ago a group of evil doers needed to have a naive puppet that would take the place at the head, agree to the place, play at it, follow all orders. He agreed. He was groomed. Everything was put into place and everything moved along well. Legislation, bills, changes, all things needed were put into order so the moment he was elected not a moment would be lost in putting things into effect. There was not thought of the people. The people never counted. There never was a thought of the people, this group has one thought, this thought is total take over, total control of the country. They also have not thought of their puppet. Does he know this? Most likely not.
Where is the flaw in all this? This group is so wound up in their own evil thoughts, their own evil doings that they believe that they are beyond all flaws, they are empowered by their success in all their plans, this is where they began to fail. The minute they began to succeed in all their plans and began to feel they were so empowered, feeling so powerful, so intelligent, so beyond all others, that they failed. They picked what they thought was a great master mind, a great part of their great success, right? Obama was part of the great success, he was why their plan is succeeding, right? Wrong? He is part of their failure.
Now we need to look at the man they picked. This man who they groomed. They groomed him to speak, they groomed him to think, they groomed him to act like they wanted him to. Now they put him out there. They watched him. They watched him with his wife, a wife that acted like he did. He had, like she a dislike for America, and they were not afraid to show it. When he was put before crowds he could swoon them and he loved it. The group worked the people, they used tricks dirty or otherwise to get votes going for this man and if you dared question things got worse, we were doomed. But, this was just to turn your head long enough so Obama could swoon more crowds long enough so no one would question his birth certificate authenticity, he kept on swooning. All this time, Obama was loving it. People were screaming Messiah and he was believing it. The more they yelled we love you, the more they yelled, Messiah we want change, the more Obama believed he was the Messiah.
Now we have him in office, we have this man that believes he is the messiah. This man, only a man walks around the world with the same disdain for America as he did long before was elected apologizing for being American making America look like a third world nation ready to collapse. This man hates conservatives because he feels they are a threat to him, they are stronger than he is and he knows it, he fears them, so he hates them. He labels them terrorists. He labels real terrorists, man made disasters. He begins to take over banks, auto manufacturers, begins to tell corporations what to do and how to manage business, and the economy is still in bad shape, still is heading downhill, he takes Bushes one trillion and throws 3 trillion more at it, with not real thought in mind. He has no idea what he is doing, has no intelligence behind what he is doing. His homeland security is a disaster. He begins to break down all security. Opens Pandora's box, we all wonder what next. What will happen tomorrow? We all wonder. He is on a Bush hate campaign, with his information seeking mission into the torture issues of the Bush Administration. This whole thing stinks. In my opinion this is nothing more than a mission to get at conservatives, those that he hates, he has not, does not and can not stand Bush, not anyone in his administration, it is his way and those around him, with the same dislikes to go after Bush. What they do not realize is that if they go after Bush and set a precedent then the next administration can do the same with him, he is either ruining future security for the CIA or setting his own butt up of scrutiny or he thinks there will be no other administration.
The people are noticing, the people are seeing, hearing that the change they wanted, the change they thought they were going to get was not coming their way. Taxes are being raised, more money is going out, jobs were being lost, more pork was going into the bail out packages with less money going out to the people. So what do the people do when they what change, real change? They hit the streets, they ask for it. Ask for the changes they want. Tea Parties everywhere are spring up across the nation. Everyone is talking about the tea parties. Everyone but Obama. He says he did not hear about them. Either he is deaf or dumb, which is it? He wants those people to love him, he believes that where ever he goes the people adore him, praise him, bow down to him, just like he bows down to leaders of other nations. No more will the people bow down to him, Americans want only for him to stop taking from them and give back their rights.
Soon the tea parties will increase, soon there will be more and more people listening and learning that the Obama who swooned them told them lies. Americans will be swooned no longer. Soon the tea parties will increase more and more. The people will not believe in the man as a messiah any longer. Obama was only a man, never a messiah. He was only a man, a man with an ego, a big ego, that believed only in himself, only believed in his own greatest which empowered him.
Just as in the last days of Nero's Rome after it had burned, Nero believed he himself was a God and the people greatly loved him until they found out he was intrumental in downfall and perhaps the burning of Rome itself. The people in crowd converged on the palace, "why are people all coming" he said, "they love me?" [they did not and he commited suicide] ------ The big tea party will come to Washington------Obama will be heard to say---- 'and why are all these people coming, I am the their messiah'.
And he will fail, he is flawed--- standing all empowered, believing to be the messiah and seeing that all his greatest is wiped out, his ego crushed before him, the people of America marching across his plans of dictatorship burying it into the soil beneath their soles as they wave their flags of victory for liberty.
So it goes---"the wrong shall fail, the right prevail......" Henry W. Longfellow

Changing Too Fast

One would think that this president has been in office for how long? 3 months? No, could not be, has to be longer than that for all that has been done, but like it or not this president is moving along a record speed doing is his bidding to every one that owes something to.
I have been following his savage run after the Bush administration's security and interrogation measures. He has now allowed Pandora's box to be opened so there is no closing it, now we can only hope that he does not allow it to totally play itself out to congressional hearings, and trials. This will set a precedent for all future administrations to go after their predecessors, making each administration from this point on weary of making judgment moves that could make or break our nation. In theory, Obama is killing our nation by going after a previous administration because he was not in agreement with its policies, perhaps he should wonder how the next president will judge him and thus sentence him.
What change is he bringing to this nation? I see it as a frightful change to something no one even dared think of. But there is always hope, that is the wonderful thing about America. We are a land of opportunity and a land of great hope. People here will not take kool aid drink he trying to give us, we are tea party crowd for sure.
He campaigned on hope and hope is what the people wanted and I believe the people still have hope in their minds even if Obama does not. The America people will endure his kool aid politics and will toss the tea to the sea once more.

Radicals and Terriorists who are they really?

Yesterday as I stood with other Americans I began to wonder how is it that someone could even begin to think that these peace type of individuals could ever be called radicals or terrorists. How is it and when was it that the table got turned that the very peaceful people that prayed for radicals and terrorists to be found, brought to justice and forever banned from our land are now the ones being sought after, put on lists and soon to be banned from air ways or worse yet from this very land we love?
Then it hit me - FEAR. There are two things that drive people Love and Fear. We Americans today are driven to Tea Parties because we Love our country, we Love our Constitution, we Love our Freedoms; therefore we are out in numbers to support each other in making sure our constitution and our freedoms are upheld. Then there is Fear, this drives another group. Fear that they will lose power, that they will lose the foothold they have in Congress, in the Senate, the Fear that they will lose grace with the media that loves them so, or so they perceive it so, they Fear that if Americans have the government the way it was designed the Washington Elitests, along with Obama will lose out, lose their hold, lose their control on Americans.
So what did this all Fearing group in Washington do? They turned their fear on the Loving Americans, they put the Fear on us. By making us Fear that we will be put on a list, will be watched, will be sought after, will be told what to do, when to do and how to do it --- or else! We will Fear being a loving American and will obey our Washington Elitests. But will we?
If we give in the Fearful Washington Elitests we are giving up, we are saying to our Founding Fathers, "Thanks for everything but we are too weak too uphold the gift you gave us, which is liberty." But, are we a weak people? I do not think we are. I believe we are a strong group, a loving, peaceful group, with the same vision of freedom and liberties that are founding fathers had and we will again see it through. I saw that sparkle in the eyes of so many yesterday and I know that they are all willing to walk the walk. None of them are willing to give up or give into Washington. If what our Founding Fathers sought is what Washington considers extremism, or radicalism, or terrorism then we are in good company because these men were men of great wisdom and great virtue. What do we have to fear when we have the spirit of these men on our side?
May God Bless America!

Are You Proud of Your President?

When our President goes abroad or anywhere for that matter we as Americans are suppose to be proud, in fact, the President is suppose to be a representation of all of America. He is suppose to be our representative of this great republic, to show other nations what a great nation we are, show hospitality, compassion, wisdom, generosity,etc. We need to demonstrate to others how great we are because we are a great nation of a great number of people always willing to put ourselves forward for the next guy when the next guy is in need. We have always done this and will God willing always will continue.

So, what happened here? I don't know about you but I sure would not have bowed down and kissed the other guy, nor would I have apologized for being an American. Where does he get off doing that without asking us? Does he think all Americans are sorry for being American? Does he think our military are sorry for going over there and saving them from life they had? I do not think for one moment, especially the women and children, that they want to go back to the 14th century, I rather think they like the 21st century. So, what does Obama not get?

Everywhere he has gone he has apologized for something. He has never been prouder, though for being a Muslim. American, no. Muslim, yes. We have heard repeatedly these past few days how much Muslims have done for the betterment of America, if we were to look into American history. Well I am sorry but I looked, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, kept looking, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, Booker T. Washington, randomly still looking, Henry Ford, Martin Luther King, still looking, John F. Kennedy, Walt Disney, Ronald Reagan --- okay give up - where's all the Muslims that shaped what America is today?

If you are proud to be an American you better stand up and wave your own flag, salute that flag your self, sing your own songs and shout out your own patriotic speeches because you are not going to get it from the President. He has his own agenda, what that is will remain to be seen but is sure does not appear to be patriotic. It is a sad day when the President of the United States of America apologies for being an American.

My question to him would be what is he proud to be and if why is he not being that rather than the sorry American he is right now? Or does he have some hidden agenda for being a sorry American so as to discredit us or to try to bring us down? Whatever it is he must rethink he agenda because he has forgotten one thing, and that is, there is nothing stronger than patriotism within the hearts and souls of American patriots. You are beginning to see it rise and rise it will, higher and higher. The surge of the patriot movement is certainly on the rise and Obama will not be able to stop it.

Obama scaring most American families

While so many Americans were cheering in the streets only a month ago for their new found leader. Americans again are hitting the streets cheering, this time it is about Obama not for Obama. Quite a difference a month makes.

I can not remember when another President began a presidency with such wild cheering only to end up in such a short time being criticized to such a degree. You got to give him credit, he sure is doing one horrible job so far and he is doing horrible so well. He could not have planned this downhill turn any better.

Americans are revolting like never before with American Tea Parties. Not even in the Vietnam war protests did Americans gather together is such unison. Oh, there were lots of protests but they were by far mostly from the college students and younger generation, the older generation understood the war and understood we had to do what we had to do for peace and freedom. This time it is generations across the board that are looking at what their future will hold if Obama is allowed to make the changes he wants to make and they are not liking it one bit.

I truly believe whether he makes the changes or he starts to plan them people will revolt. If any pass through there will be more uprisings until the changes are reversed. Worse yet people may take to the streets more and more until the only way to stop it will be to totally revamp the government. Do I think that will happen? I don't know but I do know that the people are fed up and anything is possible when enough Americans get fed up. We are a real free thinking people and we don't like to be shoved into a corner or told shut up.

Tea Party revisited

Well today many, very many citizens of ordinary backgrounds all gathered together across America for one cause, to help save the Republic from certain death. All were peaceful, all were patriotic and all were standing there serving mankind, the best way they could.

I could not help but think as I saw so many gathered, all hoping for a real change, a change back to the country's roots, that none thought it necessary to be violent or harass passersby, none. They came, they said, they sang and left. How patriotic is that? Very!

Will all of these resistant tea parties make a difference? Well, some think it is a waste of time to stand there ranting and waving but somehow I think that slowly, but not too slowly this message will seep into the depths of society where it will then rise up strong and bold. It is only when the message gets to the people and the people understand will a true and free democracy survive. Otherwise it will fall victim to its socialist change and will as Jefferson once predicted, will fall out of democracy and commit suicide. But, it can survive and it shall if the people bring it back from the brink of death to a new rebirth.

It will all hinge on the persistence of the people to keep the flame alive in this resistance. I for one will help keep it lit.

The American Tea Party

So I was not the only one that considered Americans would again resort to their old ways of handling things. I suppose today people will say that as Americans take to the streets in protest to revolt against the high taxation on our hard earned money, to all the bailouts which will take money from our hard earned paychecks, to all the changes being made that are whittling away at our freedoms, that we are just trouble makers. It is okay for the liberals to get out there and protest against the war, against trying to save our freedoms, against conservative values but for us to stand up for what we believe in and what our founding fathers thought good enough to fight for, that may not be to the liberals liking. So, I am ready to hear the crying out from the media that these soon to be held tea parties around the U.S. are nothing but trouble makers. I guess then that John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and all the others were trouble makers. Maybe so, to the King but to us they were our heroes. They were what made America, America. So, what's wrong with standing up with them once again and fighting for what they started over 200 years ago? I see nothing wrong with fighting for the principles that founded this nation. I see no reason not to get out there and wave a flag, hold a sign and tell the rest of the nation we believe in We the People of these United States and we do firmly believe in all of our freedoms set forth in our Constitution. Is this not what patriotism is all about?
