It's a never-ending barrage, seems like, every freaking day. Non-stop. It would seem they've got us on the ropes...they've had over 100 years to do it and are now fine-tuning it! If I didn't stay pissed-off, I don't know what attitude I could adopt after this! It's become the order of the day, the waking-up, and going-to-bed-attitude that defines me, and you also.
It seems as if some of the local TEA Party groups are losing steam, either through frustration, the perception of inaction or ineffectiveness, or some other angst.
This could be percieved as true, to an UNBELIEVER.
Where is your heart? Where is your soul? Where is your committment to not only yourself, but your country, and to God that gave us our liberties, and our natural rights? If you can answer any of the first 2 questions honestly, the third is already spoken for. Then ask yourself...what will I leave my children, and their children?
These questions have been asked before, and have been forthrightly answered, by our FOUNDING FATHERS AND OUR FOUNDING DOCUMENTS.
I say to any, and to all, IGNORE THEM, AND US, AT YOUR PERIL. Tyranny has always failed. Hegemonic usurpers have been the order of the day throughout human history, but we have been blazing a new trail in the history of human endeavor for 235 years, and more. The seeds of this awakening were sown well before the signing of our founding documents. The pilgrims who left the shores of England in search of religious freedom were one of the first seeds of the foundations of this nation.
The men who established our Republic knew very well, the history of the world. Read their words, in the Federalist Papers, the Anti-Federalist Papers, their own correspondences between themselves, and our Founding Principles. There is not one single luminary, heralded, or pre-eminent scholar alive today, that could even approach the brilliance of our Founding Fathers. Not a one...and I believe Ronald Reagan already acquiesced to that standard.
So James, you may be asking, what is your point?
My point is this---we have only begun the fight, and we have truth on our side. The dark night of denial and deprivation is NOT at hand, YET. But it is fast approaching, and there appears to be more of them than there are of us.
Don't let appearances decieve you. THERE ARE MORE OF US THAN THERE ARE OF THEM. And that's the history of the world, in a nutshell. Good WILL triumph over evil, it always has, but always at a price.
Is that price too much for you to bear? What price are you willing to bear? "Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, then ask 'What should be the reward for such sacrifice?' Whether ye love wealth better than liberty, servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us now. We seek not your counsel, nor arms. Crouch down, then, and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains rest lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were ever our countrymen."----Samuel Adams, at the Philedelphia Statehouse, on the ratification of the Constitution, August 1787
