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

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!
