Eyewitness Account of LaVoy Finicum's Murder by Federal Agents

This is an eyewitness account of the murder of LaVoy Finicum, and the attempted murder of everyone else. This is your government out of control. These are the people who wish to take away your firearms. 

Mr. Finicum's hands were in the air when he was shot. They shot him, and when he fell to the ground, they fired into him again. The federal agents were also shooting the car - a vehicle that had women and children in it. Not one shot was fired by LaVoy or his companions. Their hands were out of the windows to show that they were not a threat. 

Please sign this petition to launch a full investigation into LaVoy's murder.

Facebook Protest Groups Grow

Anger is evident among Americans as Facebook groups are sprouting and growing all over the place. One group called "I bet we can find 1,000,000+ people who disapprove of the Health Care Bill" has, of this writing, grown to over 680,000 in a little over 24 hours. It is increasing by 200-300 members per minute!

Outrage over the Socialist Democrats take over of health care, their insane increases in taxes, their control over student loans, and their overall rampant destruction of American liberties is spreading like wildfire.

The recruits for this war are stepping up. Social Democrats, Mr. President, and progressives beware - you have raised the ire of the American majority. What is going to follow will not be pleasant, at least, not for you!

Now is the Time for Another Civil Rights Movement

On Sunday, March 21st, 2010, the Social Democrats declared war upon the citizens of The United States of America. With joyous applause, they heralded in the most draconian set of laws this nation has ever seen. Social Democrats throughout the Unites States took to cheering and jeering as the good people of this nation found their rights taken away. War has been declared.

My fellow citizens, now is the time to fight - not with violence, but with resistance. The Social Democrats continuously referred to the Civil Rights movement of the 1960's - well, its time that America takes up that call. Rosa Parks declined to give up her seat; millions of blacks entered in to "whites only" establishments; millions took to the streets in peaceful protest. We must now do the same.

Refuse to follow the laws mandated by this new bill. If you are uninsured, remain so and refuse to pay the $2,000 fine. When the fascists come for you, bring this issue all the way to the Supreme Court. That this current government will continue in its toltalitarian ways must be recognized. Yet we will continue to resist. Do everything in your power to let the establisment know that we are free; we will not submit!

No longer should we reply with timidity or in friendship with those Social Democrats who continue to destroy this nation. Stand firm on our American freedoms and let everyone know that we will not be ruled with an iron fist.

Our year long protest in which millions of Americans raised their voices did not affect those in power. Thus, we must expand those protests to every aspect of American life. In every situation where we find the government's iron fist closing fast, we must resist.

Obama and the Social Democrats plan on passing yet another amnesty bill to grant millions of illegal Mexican immigrants the blessings of American citizenship. They will do so in an attempt to keep themselves in power - thus making our votes meaningless. Do not let this happen! If at all possible, keep the enemies in congress (for they are most assuredly our enemies) from passing such legislation until we are able to vote them out.

My fellow Americans, the Social Democrats now control the banking industry, a huge auto manufacturer and now the health industry. Do not be so naive as to think that the Social Democrats will stop there. It is the Social Democrats' intent to control every aspect - every freedom - of American lives. The Social Democrats will continue to pass more bills to do so. The Social Democrats have already proven that they do not cherish the Constitution. The Social Democrats have no respect for it - of this there can no longer be any question.

Liberty's wail is overflowing the streams, rivers, mountains and plains of America. She raises her voice in trembling pain as the Social Democrats methodically dismember her. She is being torn to pieces, with her blood covering the land. Will you now rise - without hesitation - in her defense, or shall America be drenched by her precious blood - only to have the crows of tyranny drink it while feeding upon her carcass?

What Many Refuse to See

The Tea Party movement in my locale fought a relentless battle against local and national elites. They stood up to the hatred spewed forth by their neighbors and refused to compromise. However, they willingly blinded themselves to a threat greater than Obama, Pelosi and Reid.

There is a friend whom I greatly respect. She's a hard working single mother doing her best to raise her children. She attends school full time, works part time, and tries to spend every available moment with her kids. She is a strong conservative, and holds faith in God. Yet, her and I differ on an issue of extreme importance.

For quite a while, Fox News boldly stood in the gap left wide open by the MSM (Main Stream Media) and attempted to unabashedly stand for the truth. Yet now they have chosen the wrong side in an issue which directly relates to the security of America - and the world as well.

What is the issue of contention which all three above share? Islam. Instead of recognizing that it has always been a Fascist "religion" bent on world domination, they claim instead that it was always based upon peace and only recently has been "hijacked" by radicals. They forget that the word Islam being translated means "submission."

Geert Wilders has taken the literal "stand" for not only the freedom of speech, but also the "stand" against the Islamization of Europe. He is now being vilified by many of the same conservatives who refuse to open their eyes to the truth about Islam.

Islam was started by a man who was certainly sane, just as Hitler was. As soon as his followers grew in numbers and strength, Mohammad launched a holy war throughout the region - conquering and slaughtering many. He gave permission for men to have four wives (with himself being allowed more) while he married a child and consummated the relationship when she was only nine years old. As such, child marriage is a huge problem in the Islamic nations, and the problem is growing in England, Canada, and the United States as well. Also, as the spoils of war, he gave permission for his soldiers to take females as slaves and to have their way with them. Since the women were slaves, they would not count against the wifely limit of four.

Mohammad also created the institute of dhimmitude. In practice, it gave non-Muslims living within Islamic controlled territories the option to either convert, or live under domination as second class citizens. In addition, those Dhimmis were required to pay the jizya - basically a blackmail fee. This institution is still in effect today.

Muslims later on sacked and overran Christian controlled Jerusalem, slaughtering everyone within. Many critics will state that the Christians did the same during the Crusades, thus this point is not valid. These same critics will also point out Christian atrocities such as the Inquisition. What they do not realize (or fail to acknowledge) is that the Inquisition was instigated by the Roman Catholic church and, during which, slaughtered many Protestant Christians as well as Jews, athiest, and so-called witches, and that the Crusades was a direct response to the Islamic invasion. That being said, it is a fact that today, every three months, more people are slaughtered by Muslims than those who lost their lives during the entire Inquisition.

As well, Islam has never kept its violent hands to the region of the Middle East. Indeed, its Jihads took Muslims throughout Europe all the way to Spain. Today, we see Muslims wage their Jihads all over the world - China, Russia, the Philippines, Africa, France, The Netherlands, England, and The United States of America are just a few of the places that currently experience Islam's bloody grasp.

Yet Islam's Jihad isn't always of the violent kind. It also seeks to instill its control through peaceful means such as the Islamic block within the United Nations (UN) attempts to ban any criticism of the religion. In addition, England is currently facing the rise of its Muslim citizens as Sharia law is forced down its throat. One needs only to keep a cursory eye on the events happening in that country (as well as most of Europe) for this to be seen.

However, it is happening in the United States as well. CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) is the most vocal of the Muslim "advocacy"groups within this nation. Whenever someone speaks up for the truth of what is happening within Islam, CAIR's lawyers will drag them to court in an attempt to intimidate and silence them. Yet it is (or should be) well known that CAIR is an "Unindicted Co-Conspirator in the terror-finance trial against the Holy Land Foundation and its former officials." As well, "federal law [enforcement believe] that [CAIR is] the product of a Hamas-support network in the United States."

When one examines the special rights given to Islam within a country that says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion," the inconsistencies are amazing. Text books have been written where children are literally taught Islam. Public funds are used to build and maintain foot baths in airports, and are also used to create special prayer rooms in universities and other public institutions. As well, our judicial system has given Muslims the permission to take numerous breaks during their employment so that their daily prayer requirements may be met. The same rights are not extended to any other religion within the United States. Imagine the outcry if the federal government gave the same "concessions" to Christians!

The federal government itself is being corrupted within as many "mid-level" employees have been either harassed or fired due to the influence of Muslims who were "offended" by those employee's firm stand against the Islamization of the United States.

As this is unconstitutional, one might ask why it is done. Simple. It all goes back to organizations such as CAIR along with American citizens' unwillingness to be called "bigots" or "racists." Islam is slowly but surly legislating itself as the "supreme religion" within America by playing on the fears of its citizens.

All of this being said, it is important to recognize that not all Muslims are terrorists bent upon world domination. Take Christians for example. All of us either are or know of Christians who can quote the bible to an extreme extant relevant to any topic. Other Christians know a few verses by heart and attend Church. Yet still some have never read all the bible, never go to church, yet still call themselves Christians. It is the same with Muslims. There are differing degrees within all religions when one considers their followers. What one must acknowledge, however, is that those Muslims who studiously follow their holy book, the Koran, are the ones most apt to commit either terrorism or peaceful jihad. A prime example of this are the many converts to the "religion of peace" who invariably find themselves at odds with the civilized world as they engage upon acts of violence which the Koran encourages. It is a well established fact that those who convert to a religion are usually quite zealous about it.

In closing, it greatly disturbs me when otherwise staunch supporters of freedom make concessions towards a political ideology which hides under the guise of "religion." In reality, its a contradiction of their very beliefs. How can one shout their support for freedom of all, while at the same time embrace an ideology which seeks to limit the freedoms of the entire world? Why do these same people attack those of us who are willing to stand in the gap left open by them and liberals? Why are we vilified while those who strip women of equal rights, enslave others, rape and murder others, and seek to impose their will - all in the name of their religion - are held up as the beacon of "peace?"

When it comes to freedom, are American conservatives simply all "talk," or do they have the chutzpa to make a stand even when it'll make them unpopular? So far, it seems that when the going gets rough, they go running!

This Is Ridiculous

Come on government, this is outright insane! You refuse to profile, and will strip search an old lady or force a mother to drink her own breast milk, while continuing to take away our rights at the airports. Hey, can someone please tell me when, in the last 10 years, someone other then an Islamist from the Middle-East tried to hijack a plane? I mean, seriously! Now there are increased calls for the "nude scanner," random changes at security, and all this other crap. This, my friends, is why political correctness (PC) is such a horrible thing!

When are the communists in Washington going to remove their heads from the dark and damp recesses of their crevasses and start smelling something other than their own crap? I would love to have a few minutes with the bureaucrats up there to attempt to screw their heads back on correctly! But that, of course, is never going to happen.

In all truthfulness, the terrorists have won. They have won by forcing the United States government to cower in fear while suspecting everyone. Thanks to CAIR and the liberal poo-paws, we don't dare to profile! What you are seeing at the airports is exactly what is going to happen to the rest of the United States as these evil progressives continue to pass more draconian laws. Our liberty will continue to erode in the "interest" of everyone's "well-being." We'll have nothing to worry about, Big Brother will take care of everything. Right. You want me to buy what bridge?

I, for one, will never again set foot on a passenger jet. Is it out of fear? Not at all. It's simply because I absolutely refuse to release one bit of my personal freedom. I won't put myself at the mercy of some government goon just so I can take a trip.

We seriously need to hog-tie the communists in office. Then once that is done, bring out the tar and feathers and run them out of town!

Is anyone else angered by this? Are we now just passive citizens waiting for more of our liberties to be taken away? Al-Qaeda is laughing themselves silly out of their nightgowns at how they so easily hamstrung America. They don't care about lives, and the mere fact that one person was sacrificed (it doesn't matter if he dies or spends life in jail) to bring down our transportation must seem like a laughing matter to them. They put up roadside bombs in the war zone next to civilians and mock us as we refuse to shoot for fear that we might hurt an "innocent" bystander. They snicker at us as they strike with impunity, knowing we won't really hit back. They listen to the dictator in the White House make all sorts of excuses for Islam and bow down to their leaders while at the same time removing freedom from his own citizens! Their sides must be hurting from laughter when they think on how the Dept. of Homeland Security (talk about an oxymoron!) labels conservatives as terrorists while refusing to profile the most common offenders!

Are we in a war or are we just playing games? What is happening over in the Middle East is exactly what happened in Vietnam! We have government bureaucrats telling our military leaders what they can and cannot attack! They've put our men and women in danger by their idiotic rules of engagement, and have at the same time encouraged our enemy! Isn't aiding and abetting an enemy also known as treason?

War is horrible. War is nasty. But war must be fought in a manner which reminds our enemies that we will strike back to protect our freedoms! If a few citizens get in the way, sorry, but they're at fault for allowing their countrymen to continue their barbarism! In WW2, we bombed the blazes out of Germany. Then we nuked Japan, not once, but twice! 65 years later, those two nations are our allies. That's right, allies. We showed them that we would not hesitate to use what ever force was necessary to win. We need to do the same in the Middle East.

But no. What we have in power now are a bunch of pansies that continue to remove the rights of their citizens while doing their best to protect the enemy camp. They say that a few deranged people have hijacked a "peaceful" religion. I would have loved to hear them say that about Nazism in 1939! "Hitler is just hijacking a peaceful political ideology." Bull! Our enemies are not only abroad, but there are right here at home occupying the most powerful positions in the nation! They are traitors, backstabbers, liars, dictators - men and women of the utmost darkness, an evil so vile and filthy that it could have only come from Satan himself!

My Views on Foreign Policy – a Deeper Examination

A couple articles back, I wrote about a local Town Hall event where those who attended met Chick Heilson. In it I mentioned my opinions of the event, and why I would not support him. First off, let me be clear that I consider him a far better person for office then what we currently have serving. However, there are some positions that he has taken which I simply cannot support. One of them is his position on foreign policy. Concerning it, I said:

As well, his stance of being friendly with all nations but in alliance with none is, in my strong opinion, dangerously isolationist and unwise. That position may have served America well before the 20th century, but in today’s world of faster then sound travel, mass communication and weapons of mass destruction, American cannot afford to “go it alone.” As well, America must actively support the few remaining free nations in the world. To not do so will ultimately bring destruction upon the world and America herself.

This afternoon, I attended a local gathering of Patriots for a class on the Constitution. It occurs every Thursday from noon to 1pm. Today’s lesson centered on foreign policy. While our founding fathers were quoted (such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and others), no strict Constitutional law was. It was more of a meeting based on a particular version of conservative opinion. In this one instance, I am going to have to disagree with what was presented. The following will be my reasoning as to why.

George Washington’s farewell address covered a few different issues. The first, and primary, would be his explanation for refusing a third term to office. Another issue concerns the conditions of the Union and his encouragement to the members of such. Yet another concerned Patriotism and conduct towards other nations. It is regarding his comments on what we now call “foreign policy” that I wish to pay particular attention.

Many people such as Ron Paul point out a comment Washington made concerning how the United States should keep a neutral position towards other nations. Washington exhorted us to not favor any particular one, but to:

Observe good faith and justice towards all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all.

He also stated:

In the execution of such a plan, nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated.

Washington’s reasoning is sound and wise. Yet one thing is never mentioned concerning his farewell address. People are quick to bring up his exhortation to stay neutral, but fail to mention his other exhortation. He stated:

`Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; - emphasis mine

George Washington knew that there would come a time where it would be impractical to remain completely neutral. There would be times when America would have to remove herself from her “isolationist shell” and form alliances. Yet even with that he warned:

Taking care always to keep ourselves, by suitable establishments, on a respectable defensive posture, we may safely trust to temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies.

As well:

The duty of holding a neutral conduct may be inferred, without any thing more, from the obligation which justice and humanity impose on every nation, in cases in which it is free to act, to maintain inviolate the relations of peace and amity towards other nations.

During his time, weapons of mass destruction were unknown. Travel was done either via foot, horseback or ship. Mountain ranges and oceans were true boundaries that were difficult to overcome. In a very real sense, the world was closed off. The United States itself found it’s eastern and southern boundaries protected by the Atlantic Ocean. To the west and north were vast landmasses - not heavily populated. Neutrality was an excellent stance, and one that America should attempt to adhere to, as much as possible, in this day and age.

Yet the dawn of the 20th century brought about an industrial revolution. Suddenly, ships that were powered by the wind (and sometimes coal) now were able to access diesel fuel. As such, the capabilities of ocean going traffic increased immensely. Motorized vehicles soon found themselves dominating horse and train travel. Then, the aircraft was invented.

Almost 100 years later, America’s involvement in the first World War is still a topic of debate. It revolves around whether or not America should have joined with the allies. Some propose the case that our involvement only increased the duration of the war and it’s casualties. Others proclaim that it was a necessary “evil.” Regardless of current opinions, the facts are that America did indeed join in this war.

After the war, the United States found itself entering the Great Depression. This was a very trying time for the country, and it’s resilience was tested in a way never before experienced. Yet her strong citizens persevered. America, however, did remain active in the world arena of politics.

Yet world politics were changing. Fascism was raising it’s ugly head in Europe, and Communism was finding a foothold in Russia. Japan was experiencing it’s own industrial revolution and was fast becoming a power to be acknowledged.

Technology was advancing in leaps in bounds. Aircraft were becoming faster and more powerful. Battleships soon became national symbols of pride, and Germany advanced submarine technology. Suddenly, the world was much smaller – and more dangerous.

Germany, still hurting from it’s loss in the first World War, was looking for a way to regain it’s national pride. It wanted to expand it’s territory, and at the same time, remove “undesirables.” In 1939, it launched a blitzkrieg offensive, effectively starting World War 2.

During this time, Japan was seeking to increase it’s military and industrial power. Yet, as it is an island nation, lacked the natural resources for this to happen. So Japan began to look elsewhere and laid it’s eyes upon China. It too launched a military campaign of conquest, and committed many horrible atrocities against the Chinese.

During this time, Great Britain went to the defense of it’s ally, France, as the German war machine continued it’s unstoppable advance. In a secret pact, America agreed to supply England in it’s war effort. While doing this, it also imposed sanctions on Japan. America would not support it’s brutal war on China.

In response, Japan launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in December of 1941. This action brought the United States fully into the war. During which, many nations were freed from the grips of dictators.

During World WW II, technology advanced in leaps and bounds. Jet aircraft were finding their wings in the sky, and the power of the atom was realized. America emerged as a world super power with a robust economy and large military force. Some say that the war actually helped rescue America from the Great Depression.

As well, the return of Israel as a nation became a reality. While during the purges of Hitler and Stalin many people of differing backgrounds were slaughtered, it was the Jews who bore the brunt. The vow of “never again” became the rally cry of Jews throughout the world. After thousands of years, the nation of Israel was reborn with the United States being the first country to recognize it’s right to exist.

Most people are aware of the history since then, so I do not feel it necessary to delve into it. Suffice it to say, technology advances have continued to increase in leaps and bounds. Space is no longer an unattainable goal, while the power of the atom was fully realized. The sound barrier was broken, and with the advent of electronics and the information age, it is now a common occurrence to communicate with others from the far side of the world.

Yet with all of this has come increased dangers. We no longer live in an isolated society. Weapons of Mass Destruction are, unfortunately, a reality. Israel is the only true democracy in the Middle East and is constantly under attack. Islamic fascism has reared it’s ugly head and seems hell bent on world domination. With all of this going on, it is fool hardy for the few remaining free nations to “go it alone.” This, I feel, is what Washington was referring to when he commented on America staying neutral for as long as she was at liberty to do so. America is no longer at such a liberty.

Though in truth, we should cut ties with the United Nations and NATO. We should not have our soldiers in over a hundred different countries acting as a police force. We should not be surrendering our national sovereignty in any form, be it militarily or economically. Yet to leave countries such as Israel to fend for themselves is criminal.

As well, it is very unwise to think that we can be friends with all nations. A common saying in personal relationships is that you can never make everyone happy all the time. This also includes international relations. The Islamic threat is very real, as well as threats from rogue nations such as North Korea. China is as a dragon that has woken up, and Communism is still a very strong threat. We must not think that through dialogue or the giving of “gifts” that we can obtain their favor. Indeed no. As the world is no longer isolated, free nations must band together for survival. To do so otherwise will ultimately lead to the demise of America and freedom herself.

Words of Wisdom

Yesterday I had the honor of conversing with a man of great wisdom.

We were discussing politics during which he made a comment concerning the main difference between conservatives and liberals. He said:

“Liberals do not believe in God. Instead of looking towards Him for their security, they look towards the government to provide it, willing to give up their freedoms in the process. Those who do believe in God are almost always conservatives, knowing that man is filled with sin.”

While there are exceptions to this on both sides (some liberals do believe in God, while some conservatives do not), for the majority, this is an apt description.

The left’s rabid hatred of the right is quite evident in daily life. One needs only to view the liberal media of ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC to witness this. Upon browsing the internet and reading the news, one witnesses comments made by those who hold the liberal mindset to be filled with unreasoning hatred. Indeed, even on my blog such hate filled comments are made.

In addition, attacks on Christianity are mounting. Ignoring the devastation caused by humanistic faiths such as Socialism, Communism, and Humanism, hate filled attacks are consistently practiced. The Bible and Christianity have been ripped from public life. The Christian values of life itself have been replaced with atheistic views whereby abortion is acceptable and children are taught that they have no meaning - that they are alive only by chance. They are told that there are no moral absolutes, and that when they die, it is all over. They will enter into oblivion.

Last night while I was reading the first letter to the churches written by the Apostle John, this wise man’s comments came to mind once more.

1 John 3:1 states:

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

1 John 4:5-6 adds:

They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

The Apostle John put to light exactly what is happening in this day and age. The world doesn’t know God. They are unable to recognize the Truth.

If you examine Europe, Russia and the liberal “sanctuaries” within our very nation, the reality is self evident. They have turned their backs completely to God. What is the result? Loss of precious freedoms as they look toward mankind to solve their problems. They believe in the fable of the “goodness” of man. As referenced in 1 John 2:16, their focus is on what pleasures the flesh can give them. They have given themselves over to lust and pride. Thus homosexuality, rampant free sex, drug use, abortion and innumerable other actions such as these do reign. If anyone dares contradict them, to prevent them from perusing these selfish desires, they spew forth hate in a venomous stream.

Yet this was not so with the Founding Fathers of this country. They were well aware of man’s sinful nature. They knew without a doubt that this “Great Experiment” would not be successful if God was taken out of politics. Yet, this is what sinful man has indeed done.

The war of political viewpoints that this nation finds itself in is actuality a spiritual war. It is a war between satanic lies and the Truth of God. Thus, it is no wonder that the left hates the right. We hold to the truth of man’s state. We will not place our security in the hands of sinful man, and that very stance is what causes the left to hate us so.

1 John 3:13 states it clearly:

Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

I am very thankful for my parents seeding within me a love for God and country. They taught me when I was young the Word of God. They continue to do so today. The wise man I mentioned in the beginning is my father. The words he mentioned were true, and though in humbleness he would disagree, his wisdom is indeed inspiring.

Freedom's Call

These are the times that try men’s souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it Now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph.

Thomas Paine, The Crisis, December 1776

An echo from two-hundred thirty-three years in the past resonates today in the hearts of men and women, patriots, soldiers, warriors - defenders of freedom. Thus is our call to battle. Like patriots of old, we are called upon this day to face the forces of tyranny.

The enemy is vast and well entrenched. From youth, our children are raised in government institutions, taught government policy, shown government lies, and brainwashed to see Truth as evil.

From the vast halls of printing presses from New York through Los Angeles, the liberal ideologue of lies spews forth its venom, slaying citizens where they exist – their homes, places of worship or employment.

The bastions of higher education have transformed into breeding grounds of communistic ideologies. Within theses formerly sacred walls, the promoters become enforcers of demonic thought, praising the tyrants of freedom’s cry.

Deeply entrenched within the very wellspring of government policy, the enemies of freedom rule with a fist of iron. With a fanatic determination, they seek to remove every historical vestige of America’s founding principles. These include our nation’s reliance upon God and the Holy Scriptures as this nation’s primary influence, self reliance through hard work and individual achievement, as well as the strong, rugged character that has defined this country since before its inception.

This war will not be easily won, as it is indeed a war that we find ourselves in. The casualties of which have already been felt. The primal element of liberty, the ability to speak out against those who would destroy our very country, has been hampered.

In addition, the proponents of freedom have been marked as un-American terrorists, unworthy of respect. Time and time again, they are informed that they do not speak for the country as a whole, and are instead an “angry mob,” which should be dealt with accordingly. The suppressors of freedom have been advised that when they are hit, they should hit back twice as hard.

As this war progresses, more freedoms will be lost, while the persecution of patriots will increase. Indeed, this is not a conflict for the faint of heart!

Yet this is a war that can, and must be won! Our armory is vast, containing beyond two-hundred years of American history. We have our Constitution, the principles and actions of our Founding Fathers, and above all, our faith in the Divine Creator who formed this nation to be His mouthpiece to the world during the time of the Gentiles.

We must not let ourselves be intimidated by the enemies of freedom.

• It is imperative that we instruct our children on the history of this great nation. We must instill within them the same principles our fore-fathers held. We must lead by example as we boldly step forward and refuse to be silenced.
• When those in power hold their public meetings, we must continue to appear in force.
• We must educate our family, friends and neighbors by engaging in open dialogue.
• We must be diligent in our efforts to remove corruption from its seat of power, replacing evil with liberty.
• We must be careful to wage this war with facts, not speculations based upon third -hand sources. Before any discussion is engaged, arm yourself with facts then present them in an unthreatening manner.
• Unify the Conservative community. If there are dissenters, confront them. Now is not the time for infighting. There is no room in any army for those who would undermine or strive against it.

I will not lie to you. Some of us will end up paying a heavy price in this fight for freedom. You may very well end up being such a martyr. Yet consider how our actions will influence the history of this nation. Will we shirk the duty our fore-fathers placed upon us in the interest of self preservation? Or will we endure to the end, that the descendents of our children may enjoy the freedom which we are so quick to profess a love for?

This war is unlike any other. It is not fought with instruments of death, but with ideas. The blood spilled is our freedom; the cries of agony are the cries of those who love that which this country has always represented. Will you stand idly by, watching others fight the battle for you, or will you consider the importance of our cause and join us?

The Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people….This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people was the real American Revolution.

John Adams – 1818

Viva La Liberte!
