Keepers of Liberty

"The boys of the rising generation are to be the men of the next, and the sole guardians of the principles we deliver over to them." Th Jefferson in a letter to Samuel Knox, February 12, 1810

Our children today are the leaders tomorrow; how can they lead if we do not instill in them the principles of goodness and wisdom.  Education is most important, they must learn to read the wisdom of wise men, encouraged to ask wise questions in order for wise answers be found. Principles are based upon what is right and fair in the universe, what is give to us by birth, our children must know.

Allow children the follies of youth, give them time to experience freedom and liberty without reservations, to taste freedom and liberty gives one a desire for it for a lifetime. Let them frolic in days of youthful years; too soon they grow, yet while the young years mold them they need a happy heart.

Produce a good foundation in our children, allow them room for individual growth, but guide them where there are faults and praise them on achievements; a good adult shall appear. Take the time then as they grow, give them all necessary examples of principles with undeniable righteousness, they shall keep them close to rely their decisions on. Do not hesitate, be careful in securing news of their creator within their hearts, no man can be without a heart bathed in love, it gives him character, keeping him fair and balanced.

When upon your age, your days lingering in the autumn of your lifetime, give over to your children the business of guarding freedom and liberty; then too they shall prepare the next generation. Children are the holders of our existence, they are the keepers of freedom and liberty for the next generation; prepare them well and freedom and liberty shall prevail a millennium  hence.

Yours in Liberty

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.

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.

Where is God in America?

My Fellow Patriots,

I am greatly saddened, seeing the course this republic has taken regarding the expression of religion. The Government, against the Supreme Law {Constitution], has taken a liberal and atheist approach, removing God from America. I see citizens side stepping, allowing the Government, upon the desires of atheist liberal men [and women] to remove God from America.

Do the people not desire freedom? For what have men given their lives for, but not for freedom.  How weak are Americans in the spirit of God? Or shall I believe the desires of the few, be so powerful, Americans lay down their bibles? What weak faith.

Dear people, the Constitution gave you rights of worship without Government interference. No government shall tell you how to worship or by that matter, tell you, no demand; that you NOT worship. This people, is a great misfortune for America.

Christmas brings celebrations of great humor and joyous sounds of love and peace, but I seen none of this. Hanukkah should be of joy and peace, with flickering of lit candles in windows, but again I see none. Why do you people hide what brings you peace in your heart?

America founded on faith so strong, lives given for God, so others live in freedom of worship expression, without Government interference.  America, born with trust in God, thriving on words of God; hangs today on a thread of hope. Did such men sacrifice for naught? Without freedom, without God; America shall wane. A country void of God finds its people lacking in will.

God and faith sheds a ray of hope and love upon the country’s people, with no God, you have darkness. The country withers. The light is dimming in America, I implore you, stand up for her and God, Express yourselves, secured for all humanity by sacrifices; the First Amendment still stands as law. The Government is to refrain from interfering and applying political views and demands upon the people’s religious expression.

To this end, no government shall tell you how NOT to express yourself.  Be wise in your expression, ever giving thought for another’s right and never be intolerant, remembering we share the same creator. Our expressions may vary or differ yet we remain alike in our love of country and God. Let this candle of love and hope burn forever bright in the hearts of all Americans. I pass along to all my fellow patriots hope and love for your Hanukkah and Christmas; share, each of you, in the joys of such faith.

May God keep this country’s candle burning bright.

In Liberty to All,

A Jeffersonian Patriot

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. 

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 !!

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.

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?
