TRAITOR MCCONNELL DOES IT AGAIN

TRAITOR MCCONNELL DOES IT AGAIN

BETRAYAL IS MCCONNELL'S ONLY GAME PLAN

GOP establishment hack mitch mcconnell is once again showing his colors as an enemy of the Constitution, We the People, and liberty.  He has reportedly made a deal with devildemocommiecrats to vote for unconstitutional legislation that will give government Gestapo agents authority to confiscate firearms from veterans and other patriots (https://conservativeundergroundnews.com/mitch-mcconnell-is-about-to-strike-this-secret-agreement-to-keep-chuck-schumer-in-power/?utm_campaign=1522084346&utm_medium=ong&utm_source=cunl).

Typical of mcconnell and the gop establishment, they are more interested in securing seats at the table of tyranny in the new world order global dictatorship than honoring the oath of office they took to uphold the Constitution.  The gop has been a group of TRAITORS for decades, opting for personal wealth and power over integrity and honor.  They put their hands on a Holy Bible and swear an oath ending in the words "so help me God" so are spitting in God's face even more than they are ours.  The Bible Book of Revelation describes the horror and suffering people will experience in the Lake of Fire, telling what their eternal fate will be.  The Lake of Fire is described as a place of constant torture, suffering, and pain that will last for eternity and there is only an entry door, no exit.  Once there suffering is for eternity.  I don't know exactly how long that is but it sounds horrible and eternity sounds like a very long time. 

I can't imagine how anyone would risk that for a short time as very wealthy and powerful but those who lust so greatly for wealth and power in this life don't believe in the afterlife of eternity in Heaven or hell.  Refusing to believe it doesn't change the reality of it.  The Bible also tells us that "every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord" of all.  It is better to submit now while choice is available than wait until there is no choice.  Once forced to submit the next step is into the Lake of Fire.  They won't be asked nicely, they will be sternly ordered to bend the knee.  People can ridicule and disparage me all they want to because I know my eternity will be one of joy because I bend the knee to Jesus now.

I know that almost everyone who reads this will be conservative and likely to believe as I do.  If you have friends or family in the other camp please share this and urge them to change sides now, both for mortal and eternal reasons.  Once the Gestapo starts kicking doors in and killing patriots it won't stop until we are all dead or a full scale war breaks out.  My hope is that the war will start early, before they can kill enough patriots to give themselves an advantage.  Repentance and prayer are the best weapons We the People can employ in the fight for liberty.  Our founders employed them to win the Revolutionary War and establish America as the great nation it became.  The nation has fallen greatly as it has strayed from the values it was founded on and the quickest way back is to once again embrace what made America great to start with.

Americans are the most caring and most generous people in the world.  Without the support of American patriots the entire world would be under despotic rule already.  World Wars I and II could not have turned out the way they did without the physical, financial, and prayerful support of Americans, victims of countless natural disasters have seen American citizens come to their rescue when no one else could or would sacrifice for them.  I am proud to be an American citizen, a veteran, and a patriot but most of all am thankful for the life and opportunities given to me by Almighty God through the life this nation has provided.  I have made a lot of bad decisions that have led to my life being much less prosperous and comfortable than it could be but my life is still much better than those in most of the world.  Some have lived their lives with no opportunity like I have seen and some never will so I value and appreciate what I have.

With Memorial Day just past I think of the hundreds of thousands or more who died to preserve liberty for me and the millions who have suffered serious injuries for the same cause.  I am fortunate enough to have survived and not suffered any serious injuries so try to show the gratitude due those who didn't come out so well.  They deserve the respect and admiration of every American, rich or poor.  Sadly, many choose instead to denigrate and belittle the sacrifices that gives them their liberty and use that liberty to destroy the nation.

 The devildemocommiecrats actually hate the military and veterans because those people are the greatest threats to their lust for global power.  Some athletes, overpaid and overly full of themselves, kneel when the flag is displayed and the national anthem sung as a sign of their disrespect for the values and system that allow them to receive more money and fame than they deserve.  I kneel for Jesus but stand and salute the flag and our national anthem, as everyone should.   Those who disrespect the country I served do not have, nor do they deserve, any respect from me.

 The ultra wealthy liberal elitists can have their wealth and fame now because the price they will ultimately suffer will be well earned by them.  I hope they enjoy what they have now because they can't take it with them.  I once heard a joke about a very wealthy man who put in his will that he wanted all of his wealth to buried with him.  When he died his wife wrote a check for the entire amount and put it in his casket to be buried with him.  I see that as a very appropriate way to send nutty nan and her ilk into the grave, with a representation of their ill-gotten gains but not with anything real.  The wealth they amass in this life can't be used in the afterlife, despite what those pagan fools believe.

I submit this in the name of the Most Holy Trinity, in faith, with the responsibility given to me by Almighty God to honor His work and not let it die from neglect.

REDUCING A GREAT REPUBLIC TO DESPOTISM

HOW TO DEFEAT A RISING DESPOTISM

BY LARRY ARNN, PRESIDENT, HILLSDALE COLLEGE

I have hesitated to submit this because it is rather long, and because, only being able to use one hand to type, it is laborious to transcribe it here.  I have sent this verbatim, including punctuation and paragraph structure, and not one word, other than this exclamation, is original to myself.

This is an adaptation of a speech given by Larry Arnn, president of Hillsdale College to an audience in Overland Park, Kansas on November 18, 2021 and sent out in print form in their publication, Imprimis. 

Here are two questions pertinent to our times: (1) How would you reduce the greatest free republic in history to despotism in a short time? and (2) How would you stop that from happening?  The answer to the first question has been provided in these last two disastrous years.  The answer to the second has begun to emerge in recent months.  Both are worthy of study.

REDUCING A GREAT REPUBLIC TO DESPOTISM

To establish despotism in a nation like ours, you might begin, if you are smart, by building a bureaucracy of great complexity that commands a large percentage of the resources of the nation.  You might give it rule making powers, distributed across many agencies and centers inside the cabinet departments of government, as well as in 20 or more "independent" agencies-meaning independent of elected officials, and thus independent of the people.

This much has been done.  It would require a doctoral thesis to list all the ways that rules are made in our federal government today, which would make for boring reading.  The truth is that very few people not directly involved know how all this works.  Although civics education is practically banned in America, most people still know what the Congress is and how its members are elected.  But how many know how the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) came to be, under what authority it operates, and who is its head?  Here is a clue: it is not Anthony Fauci.

Admittedly, this new kind of bureaucratic government would take-has taken- decades to erect, especially in the face of the resistance of the Constitution of the United States, which its very existence violates.  but once it has been erected, things can happen very fast.

What, for example, if a new virus proliferates around the world?  There have been procedures for dealing with such viruses for a long time.  They begin with isolating the sick and protecting the vulnerable.  But suddenly we have new procedures that attempt to isolate everybody.  This is commanded by the CDC, an element of this bureaucratic structure, and by a maze of federal and state authorities, all of which see the benefit to themselves in getting involved.  The result is that large sections of our economy were closed for months at a time, and citizens placed under the equivalent of house arrest.  This has not happened before.  The cost of it, and not just in monetary terms, is beyond calculation.

To set up a despotism capable of pulling this off you would need the media's help.  Those controlling the media today are trained in the same universities that invented the bureaucratic state, the same universities the senior bureaucrats attended.  The media would need to suppress, for example, the fact that 50,000 doctors, scientists, and medical researchers signed the Great Barrington Declaration.  That document reminds people that you cannot suppress a widely disseminated contagious virus through shutdowns and mass isolation, and that if you try, you will work immeasurable destructions of new kinds-unemployment, bankruptcy, depression, suicide, multiplying public debt, broken supply chains, and increases of other serious health problems.  Some of the signatories to this Declaration come from the most distinguished universities in the world, but never mind: their views do not fit the narrative propagated by the powerful.  They have been effectively cancelled, ignored by the media and suppressed by Big Tech.

You would need some help from business too.  As far as influence is concerned, "business" is dominated by large institutions-those comprising big business- whose leaders are also educated in the same universities that conceived bureaucratic government and trained the bureaucrats and media heads.  This provides a ground of agreement between big business and the bureaucratic state.  Anyway, agree or not, businesses are vulnerable to regulation, and to mitigate the risk of regulatory harm they play the game: they send lobbyists to Washington, make political contributions, hire armies of lawyers.  If you are big enough to play the game, there are plenty of advantages to be won.  If you are not big enough to play the game-well, in that case you are on your own.

Amidst the unprecedented lockdowns, imagine there comes an election, a time for the people to say if they approve of the new way of government and of this vast, unprecedented intrusion into our lives.  Then let us say that in several states the election rules and practices are altered by their executive branches-the people in charge of enforcing the law-on their own, without approval by their legislatures.  Say this brazen violation of the separation of powers takes place in the name of the pandemic.  One does not need to know what percentage of votes in the final tally were affected to see that this is fishy.  No sensible person would place control of the election process in one party-any party-or in one branch-any branch- of the government, alone.  In some crucial states that was done.

Finally, to sustain this new kind of government, you would need to work on education.  You might build a system of centralized influence, if not control, over every classroom in the land.  You might require certification of the teachers with a bias toward the schools of education that train them in the approved way.  These schools, poor but obedient cousins of the elite universities, are always up on the latest methods of "delivery" of instruction (we do not call it teaching anymore).  Those new methods do not require much actual knowledge, which can be supplied from above.

As far as content, you might set up a system of textbook adoption that guarantees to publishers a massive and captive market but requires them to submit proposed books to committees of "experts", subject of course to political pressures.  You might build a standard approval curriculum on the assumption that everything changes-even history, even principles.  You might use this curriculum to lay the ground for building everything old, everything previously thought high and noble, in contempt.

Doing this, incidentally, deprives the student of the motive to learn anything out of fashion today.  It is a preparation not for a life of knowing and thinking, but for a life of compliance and conformity.

This is by no means an exhaustive account of what it would take to build a thoroughgoing tyranny-for further instruction, read Book Five of Aristotle's Politics or George Orwell's 1984.  But it gives an idea of a mighty system, a system that seems unassailable, a system combining the powers of education and communication.  Money and power in such a system would accrue to the same hands.  The people who would benefit from the system would be the ruling class.  Others would be frustrated.  And such a system would tend to get worse, because the exercise of unchecked power does not bring out the best in people.

Any elaborate system of government must have a justification, and the justification of this one cannot simply be that the ruling class are entitled on the basis of their superiority.  That argument went away with the divine right of kings.  No, for the current ruling class, the justification is science.  The claim of bureaucratical rule is a claim of expertise-of technical or scientific knowledge about everything.  Listen to Fauci on Face the nation, dismissing his critics in Congress as backward reactionaries.  When those critics disagree with him, Fauci said recently, "They're really criticizing science because I represent science.  That's dangerous".

The problem with this kind of thinking was pointed out by a young Winston Churchill in a letter to the writer H.G. Wells in 1901.  Churchill wrote:

Nothing would be more fatal than for the government of states to get into the hands of experts.  Expert knowledge is limited knowledge: and the unlimited ignorance of the plain man who knows only what hurts is a safer guide, than any vigorous direction of a specialized character.  Why should you assume that all except doctors, engineers, etc. are drones or worse?... If the ruler is to be an expert in anything he should be an expert in everything; and that is plainly impossible.

Churchill goes on to argue that practical judgment is the capacity necessary to making decisions.  And practical judgment, he writes in many places, is something that everyone is capable of to varying degrees.

Another thing about the experts is that they are not really engaged in the search for truth.  Instead, the powerful among them suppress the obvious fact that there is wide disagreement among the experts.  There always is.

God save us from falling completely into the hands of experts.  But God has given us the wherewithal to save ourselves from that.  So let us move to the second question posed above.

HOW TO DEFEAT A RISING DESPOTISM

In answering the second question, I will tell two stories that are suggestive.

The first took place in the small town of Jonesville, Michigan five miles north of Hillsdale College.  In our state, as in most places where the lockdowns were enforced, businesses were crippled or destroyed en masse.  Restaurants were chief among them.  One of our local restaurants is a 30-year-old diner called Spanglers Family Restaurant.  Mitch Spangler is the proprietor.  The business was founded by his late father, and Mitch was purchasing the business from his mother.  The payments to his mother depended upon the revenues of the business, and his mother's retirement depended upon the payments.  The life's work of two generations was at stake.  Mitch was also helping to support a daughter in college.

This is not to mention the more than 20 employees whose livelihoods are dependent on the Spanglers.  "Our employees are moms who have kids" Spangler told the local paper.  "One of our employees is pregnant; another is a 19-year-old kid.  This is his first job and he just bought a car".  Our leaders in Washington treat it as a small thing when trillions of dollars are being thrown about.  To the Spanglers and people like them, their relatively small revenue streams are everything.

Mr. Spangler was not prepared to surrender all this.  When a second lockdown was ordered by Michigan's governor a year ago last month, he kept his restaurant open.  He put a sign on the door and posted on Facebook to make clear, among other things, that he was acting out of necessity for the sake of his business and the livelihoods of all those dependent on it; that precautions would be taken, including the installation of an electrostatic fogger that would disinfect the air; that he understood the thinking of those who would choose to stay away from his restaurant; but that he hoped they would understand his own thinking.  "If you cannot support us, we understand", he wrote, "but please allow us to have the freedom to do what we have to do".

The wheels of bureaucracy began to grind.  Spanglers was visited repeatedly by the health department, by the licensing authorities, and even by the agriculture department (one wonders what they had to do with it).  Spangler was fined and threatened with forcible closure.  But he persisted, never backing down, and his business did well.  On a typical weekend, not only locals but supporters from the neighboring states of Ohio and Indiana lined up outside to show their support.

Mitch Spangler is our kind of fellow, and the Collage gave him some help organizing his legal representation.  We did not wish to be in the newspaper about this because we were facing our own pressures, and we too were determined to resist them.  But Spangler was no good at keeping a secret: he wore a Hillsdale Collage t-shirt on FOX News and thanked us for our help.  And when he had a little ceremony in his parking lot in the spring to thank his staff and customers, I was honored to say a few words.

This may not seem on its face a big story, but it is important because it is a story about the nature of human beings and of citizens and our rights.  The nature of a thing is the essence of a thing.  One aspect of the nature of a human being is that he must eat to live.  In condemnation of slavery, Abraham Lincoln loved to say that every man was created with a head, hands, and mouth, the implication being that the head should guide the hands in the feeding of the mouth.  Because we are made to live this way, we are also determined to live this way.  The alternative is dependence, which does not make us happy.

It should not therefore be surprising that, if you try to destroy the business of a man whose family has spent over 30 years building it, he will resist.  Trying to strongarm people like Mitch Spangler is not a good idea.  There are millions of them, and they have always made up the core of this greatest of free republics.

The second story is more famous, but it too is about nature-indeed, about the word's most basic meaning.  The word nature, as I said, refers to a thing's essence, but it comes from the Latin word for birth.  Our nature begins with how we are born and how we grow.  Just as we are attached by nature to the way we get our livings, so are we attached by nature, and still more to our children.  And this second story, set in Loudoun County, Virginia, is about parents and children.

In schools throughout Virginia, including Loudoun County, children are being subjected to critical race theory (CRT).  This involves lecturing children, especially those belonging to the non-preferred races, about the "structural evils" of which they are told they are a part.  Being taught alongside CRT is a distorted view of the history of our country, which true enough has its warts, but which surely has its glories as well-including glories about equal rights regardless of race.  Between fighting the armies of the English monarch, the Nazis, the Confederacy, the communists, and Islamic terrorists, something nearing a million Americans have died for the cause of equal rights.  These Americans have come in all colors.

Amidst statewide controversy over the teaching of CRT, the Loudoun County School Board also adopted abroad policy of recognizing "transgender" students in preference to their "biological sex" (excuse the redundancy).  Even before this, boys were permitted to use the girls' bathrooms, in one of which there was an assault and rape of a female student by a "gender fluid boy".  The boy in question was then allowed to attend another school in Loudoun County, where he assaulted another girl.  This first girl's parents were understandably outraged and, at the risk of being called narrow-minded, went so far as to complain to the school board.

Groups of parents who had already been protesting CRT and policies permitting transgenderism joined in the complaint.  There was no violence at the school board meeting with one exception: law enforcement was summoned, and the outraged father of the assaulted and raped girl was bloodied and dragged out of one meeting.  It is true, however, that voices were raised.

The National School Board Association called upon the Biden administration to investigate these protesting parents as potential perpetrators of "domestic terrorism or hate crimes".  Remember, these parents were citizens attending a meeting of an elected body to tell their representatives what they think.  The rights of petition and assembly are protected in the First Amendment.  Except for certain preferred groups, these rights today appear to have been repealed.

  1. S. Attorney General Merrick Garland intervened, instructing the FBI to investigate these parents and others around the country. The FBI's Counterterrorism Division has reportedly deployed tools and resources normally reserved for terrorist threats against parents who are angry at school boards for what is occurring in their children's schools. All this provoked massive support, across Virginia and around the nation, for the parents of Loudoun County.

This support is not surprising.  By nature, parents love their children and feel responsibility for them.  Citizens, especially one hopes American citizens, feel entitled to state their grievances.  The Declaration of Independence itself contains a list of grievances against the King.  The Biden administration reacted to these protests just as King George III reacted against the American colonists in the years leading up to the American Revolution: he called in law enforcement.  And the people of Virginia reacted in a way reminiscent of the American colonists: they defeated the candidate for governor who took the position that parents should have nothing to do with their children's education.

What do these two stories-one of them taking place in Hillsdale County, Michigan, a deep red county, and the other in Loudoun County, Virginia, which is deeply blue-have in common?  In both stories we see reactions against violations of our rights, rights that we have by nature as human beings.

The story about Mitch Spangler is about our right to work and to store up the product of our labor so that we and our families can eat and thrive.  The American Founders put this in terms of our natural right to property.  The story about the parents of Loudoun County is about the natural right of mothers and fathers to raise their children.  To interfere with these rights is to interfere with the natural rights of the human being.

These facts about nature were well known during the American Revolution, the very Revolution that is besmirched by the ruling class at the time of the Revolution.  It was the interference with the colonists' natural rights by the former ruling class that led to the American Revolution.  These recent stories from Michigan and Virginia show that we Americans do not seem to like that interference any better today.

In addition to the right to make a living and the right to raise our children, we have the right to participate in our government, even if we are not experts, and the right to look to the heavens and not to our ruling class for guidance.  We have these rights because we-every single one of us-were born with them sewn by God into our nature, and we cannot find our earthly fulfillment without them.

If we put these facts together as a people, we will have recovered the understanding that produced the American Revolution.  We will stop these current predations upon our rights.  We will bring this overwhelming government back where it belongs, under the control of the people.

The signs of such a movement are emerging.  Pray they are enough.

I submit this in the name of the Most Holy Trinity, in faith, with the responsibility given to me by Almighty God to honor His work and not let it die from neglect.

I STAND WITH PATRICK HENRY

I STAND WITH PATRICK HENRYI WILL NOT BOW TO TYRANNYIn colonial days colonists had a choice to make, live as subjects of King George 3 or fight for the possibility of living as free people. A Virginian named Patrick Henry, a staunch advocate of self rule by the colonies gave a speech to the assembled legislature of Virginia during which he made the famous quote, "Give me liberty or give me death". At this point in America We the People are facing a very similar situation. We are living in a nation of taxation without representation and a federal government becoming ever more tyrannical by the day. Congress continues to violate the 2nd and 10th Amendments and are using illegal practices, i.e., insider trading (https://sonsoflibertymedia.com/multiple-senators-accused-of-insider-trading-selling-off-millions-in-stock/, to further enrich themselves to the detriment of its citizens. Martha Stewart was sent to prison for the same act that politicians in both parties now do with impunity and no fear of prosecution. They passed the unconstitutional obamacare while exempting themselves from its onerous provisions and some in government are now demanding that the entire Bill of Rights be trashed "in times of national emergency", which is defined as whatever the tyrants declare it to be. America most definitely has one set of laws for the rulers and another much more stringent set for the ruled, We the People. Democrats fight a wall on our southern border designed to keep illegal aliens, gang members, terrorists, and drugs out of our land while many of them live in huge mansions with walls and gates, guarded by armed people paid for with tax money, while demanding that citizens be disarmed. The hypocrisy of democrats screams out at us. I fail to understand how any citizen who claims to value liberty can sit back and not be outraged. I am disabled and not able to do much but will oppose this tyranny with any means at my disposal. We the People must draw a line in the sand and refuse to surrender any more of our God given rights to despots who care only for their own personal power and wealth. The democrats are the worst but the gop isn't a friend of citizens either. The recent cortonavirus outbreak is being used as a cover to implement the New World Order, telling people to stay in their homes and mandating that businesses shut down "to prevent the spread of the virus". I am retired so not going to work isn't a problem but all my other activities have been curtailed by decisions I have no input into. My normal activities are doing volunteer work at the Claremore Veterans Center and attending church. The volunteer work has been suspended until further notice and the churches I attend have also suspended gatherings until further notice, opting for broadcasting online. I am essentially quarantined but get out as much as possible. I still go to the grocery store and to convenience stores for gas and the occasional lottery ticket but other than that am housebound. I have no fear of the coronavirus because I trust Almighty God to protect me from not only the virus but also from tyranny. I will oppose them with every breath I have. I cannot do anything about the decisions others make because I have zero input but if it was my choice I would defy the power grab by government entities, federal, state, or local. When government can get people stop their lives by threatening their liberty that liberty is already gone, and them getting away with it without a fight is inexcusable. Many people fought and many died to give us the freedom we have and I refuse to surrender it. I can't do much because I am not in a decision making position in the churches I attend nor at the Veterans Center but I refuse to sit in the house any more than I have to. I don't have many places to go but go I will, when and where I can.P)resident Trump has authorized using the National Guard in Washington state, California, and New York but said it isn't martial law because they will be controlled by the state governors. With the governors being democrats martial law will be the result as democrats crave martial law and the absolute control that goes with it. I have never lived in a total dictatorship but have seen and fought for people who did and have no desire to live under tyranny nor see my children, grandchildren, or great grandchildren live in slavery so I will do whatever I must to oppose what I see coming fast. The American military has fought countless wars, declared and undeclared, to liberate other nations from tyrannical rulers so I find it unacceptable to bow to tyranny here. My hope is that most of the military will honor the oath they take to uphold, protect, and defend the Constitution. Some will surely obey unlawful orders to subjugate We the People but I believe the majority will stand with us. They can kill me but they can't eat me, cannibalism is against the law (LOL, like the law matters to tyrants). I don't know how others feel but as for me, give me liberty or give me death. I submit this in the name of The Most Holy Trinity, in faith, with the responsibility given to me by Almighty God to honor His work and not let it die from neglect.Bob RussellClaremore, OklahomaMarch 26, 2020

LIBERAL HYPOCRISY SHINING BRIGHT IN CORONAVIRUS SITUATIONLIBERALS HAVE RULES FOR US BUT NOT FOR THEMSELVESWhile democrats and their liberal media propaganda machine are busy blaming conservatives and Christians for the spread of the coronavirus they themselves are urging their minions to continue business as usual (https://afa.net/the-stand/culture/2020/04/christians-are-crippling-coronavirus-response-it-s-democrats/). It is typical of liberal insanity, fitting in well with the system their islamic friends have, a set of mandatory rules that apply to only those they choose to apply them to but never to themselves. The hypocrisy has swelled as liberalism has gained ground in America, conservatives are called all kinds of names and stuck with derogatory labels because we don't bow to the satanic liberal agenda. Liberals like to call themselves "enlightened", "tolerant", "inclusive", and "diverse" while those of us not bowing to liberalism are labeled "haters" and a whole host of "phobics". How "tolerant", "inclusive", and "diverse" are they when they not only refuse to accept conservative Christian values but denigrate us in such a hateful fashion? Liberals are not only not the "enlightened" people they like to see themselves as, they are the true "haters ", hating anyone who refuses to cower before their evil agenda. Their answer to non-conformance to their agenda is to denigrate those who don't fall into lock step with them and to toss the name calling card out. One thing I notice about liberals is that their definition of the word compromise is total surrender to their way. I have seen stories lately where several liberals urged their acolytes to continue their lives as if nothing has changed. My hope and prayer is that liberals will wake up one day and see the error of their ways, to turn their lives to Jesus Christ, and find the happiness and contentment that living for and following Jesus is the path to true happiness in this life and eternal joy when their earthly life is over. Sadly, the main focus of liberalism is selfishness so getting them to follow in the footsteps of Jesus will take much divine intervention to accomplish, intervention from the God they refuse to believe in, and a level of selfishness they are not willing to admit to nor repent of. When one looks at where the virus is most widespread it is in the liberal cesspools of American society, ruled over by liberal democrat politicians. The coronavirus is running rampant in the liberal strongholds of California, New York City, and Connecticut while the most conservative areas of the nation have the lowest infection rates. I believe much of this comes for two main reasons, 1) God blesses and protects those who seek Him and obey His Commandments, and 2) conservative Christians are more likely to follow the advice of medical professionals and humble themselves before God. Arrogance towards God is not going to win them any favors nor protect them from the pestilences that satan sends around from time to time. I pray daily that Almighty God will touch the hearts of liberals and draw them to Himself so we can see an unprecedented revival in our land. The Holy Bible tells us, in 2 Chronicles 7:14 what we need to do to bring the nation back into God's favor. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because there weren't even 5 righteous men to be found to save them. I would like to see every American turn to God. I don't know how many righteous men America needs but I believe that having anywhere from a majority to everyone in the fold will be enough to get God to restore the nation to what He and our founders established but the forces of darkness led by satan and followed by his liberal minions. I want to see any now in darkness to turn to the light. The Bible also tells us that in the last days men's hearts will go cold towards God. I see that happening in the United Methodist and Catholic churches openly and proudly embracing homosexuality, something that the Bible makes clear is not acceptable to God.Although I have never been a liberal I spent much of my life living in darkness. I was raised in the Catholic church, and spent 8 years in a Catholic school where I was treated very badly because I am left handed in a time when being left handed was considered a sign of demonic possession. When I was a kid ADD and ADHD weren't known but if they had been I am sure to have been diagnosed because when I look back at my childhood I showed all the traits of them. When I was old enough to leave home I not only rejected the Catholic church but also rejected everything about God because I grew up with a warped and very incorrect concept of the Creator. It is very possible that many liberals had similar experiences with religion so turned to liberalism as their "god" because liberalism teaches there is no God and that each person has the right to set their own values of right and wrong, good and evil. Secular humanism, a fancy name for selfishness, is the big "religion" for liberals because it says each person is their own "god".I submit this in the name of The Most Holy Trinity, in faith, with the responsibility given to me by Almighty God to honor His work and not let it die from neglect.Bob RussellClaremore, OklahomaApril 3, 2020

Both Houses Of Congress Are Violating Their Oath Of Office.

It doesn’t take a genius to see we’re traveling at breakneck speed down a road towards tyranny. The scales could be tipped back somewhat if the public had awareness that the oath has teeth and voiced expectation that it be taken seriously. If not, the alternative maybe held in the words of Thomas Jefferson, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

ALL MUD IS NOT EQUAL

While pondering what to eat for breakfast, this Nation is pondering its fate as to the indoctrination of lies; distortions of truth; plans to limit freedom; irrational thought and irrational consequences. Pandering by politicians will win the day?, or will it wake up America to the reality that all 'mud' is not equal?

Can we blame a president who was elected by a lemming mentality, or do we accept the new normal: irrationality? The concept of 'blame' goes deep into our own concept and origins of our Christianity: When Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed Adam for perceived transgressions from the Golden Rule.

Irrational thought by itself cannot be blamed, but the reality of its existence is frightening! Why fear it?: because the road always leads to chaos, confusion, leaving a deficit and void to be filled by more irrationality led by more irrational leaders; thereby we are held hostage to it without mercy. Therefore, those who are rational thinkers are bewildered, and who may doubt their own sanity because the new norm has outnumbered and outweighed them; defining them as deviant and as a threat to society.

The 'new normal' will most likely be our Nation's undoing, resulting in a yearning to escape it as a trapped animal yearns to escape its trapper's trap!

since man discovered that a god did not determine his destiny, he then began to question all authority, and decided that he had the ability to choose by exercising free will, thus, he realized freedom depended on him and not given by others unless to yearn for enslavement.  He further discovered that man has universal, inalienable rights belonging to him unquestionably, just because he is charge of, and responsible only to himself.  he is independent! sovereign! laissez-faire!

Americans are a stubborn lot; we don't take kindly to coercion.  we will snap back against tyranny; bullies, and thugs here and around the world. the right to rebel is always secure and present.  never underestimate an American Patriot, IT IS FATAL TO DO SO!!!

THE MOB'S DEMOCRACY

THE Barnum Circus is not dead; the show must go on no matter who cares!  The only winner in this political contention are the ticket sellers; the people/the customers have been duped once again, and the fat lady is laughing all the way to the trough.  When people have unrealistic expectations due to emotional/knee jerk responses it is no better than a circus animal being conditioned to perform, knowing that the reward is frothing with blood.

The fresh meat is the tease for man, the citizen wishing for freshness in government leadership.  Well, it always winds up that the leadership is questing for power, control and wealth. Power to rearrange our destiny; Controlling our freedom; and stripping our wealth for their gain.

Yes, they have declared our Nation a Democracy; a hair strand away from absolute rule.  No more do you hear that we are a Republic; it is not politically correct, but it is so wrong. Within a democracy the majority will always win; the minority will go unheard, and unrepresented.  In theory it works; in practice it is an absolute rule.  Most educators will indoctrinate their bewildered pupils with the notion that we are a democracy. Of course, the are mostly socialists/progressives who deny the Constitution's significance, as well as the Bill of Rights' rightful place.

A democracy is derived from demos krateo: "rule of the people.. dangerously handed power to the impassioned,unenlightened masses"  It is "the government of the worst".  A REPUBLIC --the res publica, or a "public thing".   "It was meant to secure the common good  through "the ministration of the most worthy, enlightened men. It was meant to be a representative government, one elected; not governed by the masses or impassioned, impulsive; flavor of the day government.  In part, that was the beginning of the demise of the Roman Republic when they adopted and adapted the Greek influence on the Roman concept of a Republic and rule of law.  The stoic and the liberal never mix well; together cannot sustain freedom without a struggle to keep it.

Now, we are on the road to choose the most unworthy, the most unqualified, the most non representative leaders who are emboldened by the mob or the uniformed masses. 

Yes, we are one step away from absolute rule: the mob's choice!

The face of government, and prospective candidates have changed to entertainment for the masses.  The most funny, the

most charismatic, the most tricks wins the day and votes.  Bring in the clown: the people are bored, needing to be pacified, need fragmented sound bites, need promises of treats, hopes and dreams. Is it not what happened as the Roman Empire was falling?: the Colosseum, the gladiators, the clowns, midgets, lions and elephants, the outright slaughter, mayhem and royalty bidding them on to treat the hungry mob; when it ceased to be a Republic. The 'dole' was the note of the day; same as food stamps and welfare today!

The face is a reflection of us.  the government is our face; if we are the government?!  Yet, we seem content as long as we keep on laughing in our name it is ordained and bestowed; the power is a loaded cannon pointed directly at all of us; still laughing in the face of Constitutional death; as the Bill of Rights is eaten away by the lions of power; as the clowns pull the strings on our doomed destiny. 

The face of time will remind our grand children what we did, and did not do.  They will remind who is left to tell.

THE CONDITIONED MAN

A silenced People is not a Nation; rather a conditioning by license, certification, and registration; restricting voice and concern, imposed by a government not owned by the People. Fear to associate with dissention, discontent, differing opinion; fear of being exposed by the employer, church, the school, and government.  Political Correctness is just a tool to forbid expression; killing artistic comment, yet it should inspire, in spite of it.

As the People crumble in the shadow of Big Brother, and his affiliates the People acquiesce without protest, or a good fight; too busy? or too afraid? Of course, it would be ludicrous to risk home, job, financial security, marriage, and family just to save a Nation in my name; who am I?, one might say; what can I do?  What does it matter?

Yes, we are conditioned as if we were rats in the Skinner Box.  Oh, the conditioning of man is to test his will to think, AND ACT outside the box.

GOVERNMENT'S FREEDOM

We, not unlike, the Romans are being subtly, and overtly invaded on all borders, in spite of our resistance. No one wants to live in the Middle East Regions; nor Mexico; or the Far East, nor Africa.  The People of the World come to the USA because they want what we have, en-total, but want to deny Americans freedom, resources, choice, and space.  Our politicians seem content with this invasion and occupation of people who despise our existence; why? 

The reason?: Our Government despises us as well; they are importing them because it justifies its hold on us; with the guise of protecting us from them, and that should be good enough for us; just accept it! By complicating,  jeopardizing, and compromising Americans they can control, and manipulate us; demanding more from us for 'our own good'.

The Government knows that we know that it is made up of many corrupt bureaucratic institutions and agencies, and it needs to have a looming threat hanging over our heads to justify their existence.

It has painted all of us into the corner.  With a broad brush that has crushed our sovereignty; handcuffed our freedom, denied our voice, and give us promises that we can trust it.  In reality, we are in confinement; suspect, and restricted to exercise our rights and freedoms.  We have not noticed the impact because it keeps us guessing; awaiting new surprises of oppression, con-jobs; swindles and lies.

THE DRUMS WARN THE DAY

Organized crime is not completely dead: Old Hillary is disorganized crime; Trump is more organized.  The Brown Shirts are raising their heads and the Socio-Communists are sweeping the youth movement.  How wondrous our Nation's calamity!; the anarchists/useful idiots would claim.  Enemies everywhere; suspicion, blame, fear, threats, scapegoating; anger and knee jerk emotions; just what our Founding Fathers warned about; yet it is the mode of the day, as the half-informed and uniformed rule the day called Democracy: mob rule mentality replacing a Republic. 

We hope for the best, always expect the worst, as suggested in the Federalist Papers.  The safe guards are in the Constitution; Publius/ 'The Trio' articulated the consequences of rejecting it.  Now we ignore it, because no one reads them.

We are doomed by our own decay of wisdom, and understanding of consequences for our action and in action.  Within our lofty ignorance, we dispel the significance of what they said.  Hence, we will reap the scraps of history.

SLIP SLIDING AWAY CAPITALISM

KARL MARX and the Communists must be thoroughly delighted at the anarchy, conflict, the clashes of class, and splitting political factions; mission accomplished; capitalism crushed by the disillusioned masses.  It was so easy!!!

Capitalism is crushed by a socialist's successful attempt to demonize it; holding it in contempt by the masses, although needing all that belongs to it, for the socialist's very survival.

It is the lamb who eats the grain; damning the farmer for having a large amount of feed; forcing him and limiting him in theory to one morsel of grain, but in practice they need him to provide plenty.

The masses, in theory, will receive plenty; in reality will, ultimately, receive less; caused by their own panic, only to scapegoat those who have more than they have.

In the end, everyone will lose, wealth, freedom, and plenty. Capitalism is limping now, in spite of the 'crush'; its survival is contingent upon the sobering up of the kool-aid drunken masses.

JOHN'S SACRED PLACE

The JOHN MANDATE is a pisser hoax that has to be taken seriously because it will give carte blanche to every wacky elected politician terrorist Tyrant.  No State in this Nation, with the exception of NEW YORK STATE a premiere wacko State, will be foolish enough to bite the fishy bait.

States think before you fall to a Joker's poke; things said in jest are meant in truth! The kool-aid syndrome is at work; sane minds must resist the body snatcher plot.  Collectively, all the sane minded States must Petition Congress to start Impeachment and removal of this Incompetent  Regime, immediately, or otherwise, collectively they will legitimize this lunatic over-reach of Executive Power.

The feel good nonsense must cease; rational thought must be lassoed back into our Nation. The 'JOHN SYNDROME'  has taken over COMMON SENSE!  Run to the hills to take a piss in privacy!!!  or fight 'till our death to crap in peace!!! The odd-balls who cannot piss straight cannot be allowed to outdraw sharp-shooters!

When the Federal Government uses any agency to enforce a Constitutional issue that is not in their realm of concern, but used as a strong arm of the Government to coerce a Sovereign State (the 10th Amendment) into submission, for a political gain ,is high treason against The Bill of Rights, and the will of State's Citizens, using the 13TH and 14th Amendment as  pretext to accomplish it.  Creating a social problem where there was none is Federal coercion, and misuse of its powers.  Using the theme 'social justice' to  justify chipping at state's sovereignty is an outrageous over-reach.  The '13th'  and ' 14th ' are not part of the first 'TEN' inalienable rights, but instead the '13TH'  and '14th' are concessions to the first '10'.  Not unlike the Prohibition Amendment it is liable to change, and the '13TH' and' '14th' will soon be contested, ultimately, in the Supreme Court.  The first Ten Amendments will never be challenged under our Republic System, however, if this present regime gets its way with North Carolina, and other States, then it is a matter of time the Bill of Rights will be challenged, if not totally eliminated.  If the Federal Government wins on this 'gender identity' bathroom ploy, EXTORTION, it will set serious precedence, and unintended consequences.  It will open a Pandora's Box that will be the beginning of irrational and authoritarian rule; establishing an oligarchy in stone. Withholding funds as hostage is abusing the People's money to punish them with.  If the People fall for it, they will certainly fall prey to everything else that the Government Thugs DEMAND!  It is not about genital identity preference; it is about power and control over the States; using unfriendly Federal persuasion; suckering the bleeding hearts to give up privacy in the privy. 

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 had good intentions with unintended consequences: any time a law entails the word 'ACT' it  always means strict Federal Government coercion over the States; ALWAYS!!   The overall goal is to beat the 'Sovereign States' in total submission by the Federal Government; this is another tactic it uses to accomplish it, among many.

It is important to remember that if man can give 'rights' man can take them away, and that is why any amendment after the first 10 amendments are 'man given'; they are supplemental government policy; specifically with political intentions. Title 9, was originally designed for woman in competitive sports, camouflaged with other bits and pieces of other amendments created ,in part, by man.

A STOLEN NATION

Who lost our Nation, rather who was allowed to steal it? Vigilance is not enough to keep it, unless there is a preventive mechanism from it being stolen.  Well, there is none!  If we depend on our elected representatives to be our seeing eye dog, and leverage we then become their victim who owe them our gullibility and our self imposed enslavement. Okay, there is the Supreme Court to appeal to; unfortunately, it has become a political play tool of the Government enforcers. Well then, the Press; a seal of approval to political faction, and bias.  Lastly, Grass Root Movements, who are made up half equipped do-gooders with little significance; only clamor at best.

All the strong arms of the Government; its agencies and their rules and regulations etc., are barriers to prevent our recapture our Nation.  Yes, we are disarmed, disabled, and shackled from reclaiming it.

We cannot claim what  has been stolen by thieves who have been given, carte blanche, power to control us by our forfeiture, and dependence on them for our everyday quasi-survival for quasi contract needs.

Indeed, we have surrendered the Nation because the overweight of our lust for the menial , and neglect of our dutiful concern and involvement.  We cannot get out of our own way in achieving immediate gratification in seeking fun things, rather than keeping the rudder in check.

In order to reclaim it we must take charge; lead with decisive measures, and definitive guidelines that our Elected Representatives must adhere to, with punitive measures enforced upon them if they vary from their duty to serve diligently. It seems unachievable; it could be too late. It is absolutely up to all of us!

AN OMEN O' GLORY

As I, in shock, picked up or rescued  our stars and stripes off the ground, blown, hanging on by its rings from the clasps, and cable that restrained it as if being held hostage, yet held back from the wind begging its claim.

Approaching it, It lying in somber and patient repose to be lifted to It's rightful heights; indignant of the wind and the neglect of Its keepers, I stood in anger, and yet in awe being so close to majesty, momentarily frozen as I stood over it as if in disrespect, and I knew I had to pick it up immediately; awkward I felt lifting it fearing to crumple it in my hands and arms but I had to, I did not earn the right, as it hurt me to do so. Rushing to its owner as though in slow motion up the steps to deliver Its body and soul, opening the door as I wanted to scold them of that neglect. I just stared back at their astonishment.  I said," it was just lying there on the ground".  They made excuses; I just left, as if I were leaving, delivering a wounded friend in the hands of strangers.  Somehow, I felt that I had abandoned him, walking away, just walking away feeling remorse; an emptiness.

BEWARE OF THE TIGER TRUMP

Trump is a thug!  A SPOILED WEALTHY BRAT! AN EGOCENTRIC DANGEROUS MAVERICK!!  A CAR SALESMAN!!! Blackmail is not the American way.  He coerces with his wealth and crony influence.  Americans who support him are in a mob mentality and are not thinking about consequence.  Impulsive and emotional behavior and thought are attributed to the far left.  So, do these supporters of Trump fit the same mold? These are dangerous and pivotal times in our Country; we cannot risk our Nation with knee jerk responses to rectify what we have ourselves neglected to be vigilant of. If he becomes President no longer consider freedom without coercion, threat and fear.  He is a very dangerous individual. He is Mussolini, Hitler, and Nero all rolled up in one.  He will rule by appealing to the people's emotions and win by default.  He will confiscate private land and continue the trend of the Federal government and its coercive agencies, such as Land Management; EPA, ATF, FBI, IRS, ETC.. A vote for him is a nail in our coffin. He will say he loves the Constitution but will defame it to meet his tyrannical goals.  He will degrade our Bill of Rights  as something that is not profitable or lacking as if not a good deal and must be altered to meet the needs of the People; after all he is the Deal Maker, and we are expendable, thus enabling him to complete his total progressive takeover of our Nation.  I cannot believe or accept the gullibility  of his supporters.  Haven't they learned from history!
