The Gipper Grapples with Government Health Care

Allen Frederick 1 Comment

Listen to the complete video and learn. There is so much truth in this video. When I listen to Ronald Reagan I am reminded of how much has been lost in the public square in our current crop of political figures. There is certainly a dirth of truth in our government today. We can learn a lot from listening to our elders. We could all learn a lesson from the past if we choose to listen to it. Pass this post along to your friends and family. Let them learn from one of our  greatest Presidents. Thank you Ronald Reagon.

A REPLY TO POLITICAL PROPAGANDISTS

Allen Frederick 1 Comment

First the disclaimer:

I have never been much of a political  activist. In fact for the most part I am a quiet peaceful person. I keep to myself mostly and try to mind my own business. Up until Ronald Reagan ran for President I wasn’t really much interested in politics. In fact I still find the whole political scene unsightly and I would much rather not deal with it. But, and this is a big but, I can not in all good conscience remain silent while the country I love is being maligned around the world by those who are supposed to be entrusted with her care. I can not stand by and just watch as lady liberty is mugged and beaten on capital hill. I can not look the other way as this great nation is being torn asunder. It is therefore my responsibility as a citizen and a Christian to take a stand for what I believe in. Just as sure as I would defend my own daughter if she were being mishandled so too must I stand up and defend lady liberty. So I shall indeed stand, and I shall defend all that makes this country great.

My plan is to pray without ceasing for America and all those who are in leadership. I shall be asking God to revive His church to become the beacons of true hope and change so much needed in these dark hours. I shall look to Him for the strength and the wisdom to be a light in the darkness and a clear voice in the wilderness to lend guidance and direction to those who may be looking for answers at this time. So by the grace of God I stand!

From the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam. God bless America my home sweet home. God bless America, my home sweet home.

Now then on with the post:

I found this comment at MSNBC’s READ FIRST SITE. The conversation had to do with the Departments of Home Land Securities threat analysis profiling those who are likely to join radical hate groups.

The Homeland analysis says threats from white supremacist and anti-government groups “have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts.” But it says they seek to expand their recruitment by trying to capitalize on:

— insecurity brought on by economic troubles and loss of jobs
— the rise in illegal immigration
— fears of renewed efforts to limit gun ownership
— and racist reaction to the election of President Obama.
As would be expected at this site many were supportive of the misplaced assessment of the Homeland security analysis. Most of the comments were your typical RIGHT WING hate speech, Bush and Rush bashing, commentary and then this little gem:
I did not vote for Obama.

I am a Republican.

I am a small business owner, so I am taxed more than those who do not own a business.  I pay my way and then some.

I am a Christian – I study the word of God – I love and fear God. I believe that serving God is and will always be a higher purpose than serving any institution or government created by man.

I believe that abortion is murder and homosexuality is sin.  I am far from sinless, however, I do recognize when I sin and I pray that God has mercy on me and forgives me of my sin.  I will not serve a man who supports either.

I own guns.  I have a concealed carry license and I carry a gun every day – everywhere it is legal to carry one.  I own semi-automatic “assault type” rifles and tactical shotguns.  I know how to use them.  I do not want to be put in a position where violence is the only recourse, however, I am willing and able to defend myself, my family, and my home – from all enemies,foreign and domestic.

I believe in personal freedom – the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness.  I believe every citizen of the United States of America has a right to this and a right and responsibility to defend this way of life,whether it is being threatened by a foreign power or it’s own government.

I do not agree with the policy of punishing motivated individuals who strive to create personal wealth through honest hard work and innovation and rewarding laziness by taking the wealth from those
motivated and redistributing it to those who are not motivated and who do not work or who do not want to work.

I do not support the idea of larger, more invasive government.  In the past decade, we the people, have been stripped of more freedom and privacy than we have gained in the past century.  Our current liberal government plans to continue this trend and even expand it.  This is unconstitutional and wrong.

I believe the armed forces of the United States swear an oath to defend the constitution, not a corrupt government who is bent on stripping it’s citizens of their constitutional rights.

I believe that when a government becomes corrupt and stops serving it’s citizens and in turn, is only interested in serving itself, then, without doubt, that government should be abolished and replaced.  Furthermore, I believe it is the right, responsibility and irrevocable duty of the citizens to depose and replace that corrupt government, with a new government, for and by the people.

I am not a terrorist – I am a citizen.

I am not a traitor – I am a patriot.

I am not a right-wing radical – I am a Christian and a realist.

I am simply an American – with a belief system in line with those great men who founded this nation.

I can and do think for myself – I do not need the government to assist.

I can and will defend myself if necessary.

I can and do earn my own living – I do not need or want government assistance.

I can and do help my neighbors and community – of my own free will.

This country was founded and made great by people who think just like I do!

Our corrupt, liberal, self-serving government is terrified of people like me and they well should be.  There are many more of us.  We are still here and we will not be silenced.  No today.  Not ever.

May God bless America – at least what’s left of it!

I want very much to acknowledge the author of this comment but was unable to link to a website and no email address was given in order to contact this person. It is folks like this that made this country great. It is folks like this who bled and died upon these very shores to protect our liberties and hand down to us a free nation. It is folks like this who are willing to stand up against all enemies foreign or domestic who threaten our way of life and attempt to take our freedoms away. It is folks like this who honor God and country. It was folks like this who signed the Declaration of Independence from a tyrannical King. And it will be folks like this who will once again stand and fight for what is right and good about America. It is with folks like this I take my stand.

Label me a radical right-wing extremist if you will but I stand in good company with the likes of Jefferson, Madison, Lincoln, Adams, Burke, Washington, Paine, Hancock…and all those who are proud to be an American. I am a citizen of the United States of America and I am proud to be an American citizen.

May God bless America again.

With Malice Toward None

Random Ramblings from the Resident Raptor

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations. http://www.bartleby.com/124/pres32.html

Abraham Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address, Mar. 4, 1865 16th president of US (1809 – 1865)

 


mal·icePronunciation: \’ma-lis\ Function: noun Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin malitia, from malus bad Date: 14th century

1 : desire to cause pain, injury, or distress to another

2 : intent to commit an unlawful act or cause harm without legal justification or excuse.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/malice


What a different time we are currently living in. The current resident of the White Househas a tendency to turn people groups against one another. He has a propensity to promote envy and strife amongst fellow countrymen. In Lincoln’s time our country was facing a far worse problem than the one we are currently facing. The nation was torn apart by a vicious civil war. Brother was fighting brother and neighbor was at war with neighbor, both thinking they were in the right. Lincolnhad a vision of a unified nation, one nation under God. He was striving to keep the unity of the nation together. After the war had ended, and many were wounded in the battle, a time of healing needed to take place.

Lincolncalled upon the goodness of our nation to bind up the nation’ wounds, to look out for each other, to forgive past errors and move forward. Today we have this constant refrain of how WICKED and BAD AMERICA IS. We have the President of these UNITED STATESendeavoring to divide this great country by stirring up class envy (the haves against the have nots) racial divisiveness, and political party bickering. This US VERSUS THEM mentality is not going to make this country stronger but only bring about it’s ruination.


For wherever there is jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry and selfish ambition), there will also be confusion (unrest, disharmony, rebellion) and all sorts of evil and vile practices. James 3:16 (AMP)

 

 


Americahas it’s faults, many of which have been brought about by greedy men, and corrupt legislators. It has invaded all walks of life and can be found in all sectors of our society. We as a nation need to repent of our evil deeds and work toward a more perfect union. It takes all of us willing to overlook the faults and failures of a few and strive to uphold the basic moral foundation upon which this great nation was established. If we toss aside all that our founders envisioned when fashioning this new nation, then we toss aside all that it means to be America.

 


We are not like the rest of the world. We are not a clone of former states and civilizations. Over 200 years ago our forefathers birthed upon these shores a great new nation conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. We have all been endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are the right to LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT of HAPPINESS. We are not a nation that should seek to punish those who succeed, but remember it was upon this foundation of individual freedom that many have fought and died.


But if you criticize and attack each other, be careful that you don’t destroy each other. Gal 5:15 (GW)

The Constitution in Peril
Image by Renegade98 via Flickr

It would appear that once again we are engaged in a great war to see whether this nation so conceived, can long endure. Our Constitutionand the rights it protects is being assailed by those who do not value the principles set forth therein. This was a Constitution which set forth to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. The founding document of this great nation does not need to be interpreted, rewritten, amended, or reworded, it needs to be defended. It establishes the safeguards to our individual rights and freedoms. If the Constitution is shredded and destroyed, so too shall our rights as individuals vanish, and this nation will cease to be.

 


Our Constitution and its defense of individual rights, is being assailed from the White House to the court house. We see rioting in the streets as individuals are being vilified for their pursuit of happiness. Envy and malice was on full display when an angry mob of malcontents swarmed the homes of some of our fellow citizenry. The trespass against these citizens is a trespass against us all. We, as a nation, can not turn a blind eye as some in our society are vilified for achieving the American dream, and demonized for living the life that the Constitution guarantees for us all. If we continue this course of action of criticizing and attacking each other, then we as nation will be destroyed.


It is time we put aside our petty grievances and embrace once again the greatness of America and what she stands for. Liberty and justice for all. It is time we embrace LIFE and uphold LIBERTY and mete out JUSTICE with an eye toward heaven, knowing that we all are being judged by a higher and greater authority. The very authority recognized by our founders, which endowed us all with these INALIENABLE rights. Rights that need to be honored not abhorred. Rights which need to be protected not discarded. Rights for which our forefathersfought and died. We have been endowed with these rights from on high, but if we fail to acknowledge this endowment, then we do not deserve to retain it.


Let us therefore humble ourselves and pray that this freedom we so long enjoyed remains, and this nation and it’s government, thus established, will long endure. We do not need to remake America but we do need to REMAKE our citizenry. We do not need to RE-ESTABLISH another nation, we just need to REMEMBER ours, for the greatness she once stood for, and the freedoms she represents.


May this nation established by rule of the people, by the people, and for the people ever endure. And endure she will if in God we truly place our trust. May God continue to bless America.


“[It is a] great truth that industry, commerce and security are the surest roads to the happiness and prosperity of [a] people.” —Thomas Jefferson to Francisco Chiappe, 1789. Papers 15:405 http://etext.virginia.edu/jefferson/quotations/jeff0100.htm


But those who are waiting for the Lord will have new strength; they will get wings like eagles: running, they will not be tired, and walking, they will have no weariness. Isaiah 40:31 (BBE)

 


Along for the journey

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
Ronald Reagan 40th president of US (1911 – 2004)
