New Morning in America

What a fabulous video narrated by Sarah Palin! It sums up the excitement, the enthusiasm, the real hope and positive changes that will come as a result of the political tsunami that occurred on election day, 2010. Those who were voted out were replaced by the choices of WE THE PEOPLE to stand for us and do the WILL OF THE PEOPLE instead of what we have seen (Marxism, Czar thuggery, bloated government, relentless spending that didn't create jobs etc.) over the past 18 horrible months of Obama, Pelosi and Reid.

Which Defines You? Loyalist or Patriot? [Update]

The following essay is cross posted from Worth Reading Blog. I think that the eleven year old young girl in the essay got it right when she said that she and her family are Patriots. The writer of the essay has labeled the supporters of the status quo as Loyalists. Loyal to whom and/or what? Read the essay to find out.

I personally think that the choice is quite obvious now.

Loyalist or Patriot?
EDITOR'S NOTE: This was first published on 'Paratus Familia' blog, and is so Worth Reading we are cross posting it here. Cheers to "Enola Gay"


Miss Calamity (our eleven year old daughter) stunned me the other day with an incredibly astute observation. She informed me that ours is a family of Patriots. Now that statement, in and of itself, may not seem earth shattering, but it got me thinking. If we were patriots, what were the people who staunchly support the entrenched establishment? After thinking long and hard, I came to the conclusion that the supporters of the status quo must be called "Loyalists".

Looking up the definitions of both Loyalist and Patriot, I made a startling discovery. The definition of a loyalist is: One who maintains loyalty to an established government, political party, or sovereign, especially during war or revolutionary change. Conversely, here is the definition of a patriot: One who loves and loyally or zealously supports one's own country. Do you see the difference? One supports the established government and the other supports their country! What a revolutionary idea! Literally.

As I watch our State and Federal governments in action, I see a wholesale group of loyalists. They are loyal to their programs, they are loyal to their pet projects and they are loyal to their pocket books. Ultimately, they are loyal to themselves. Nowhere do I see a loyalty to their country or their countrymen.

Patriots have become icons of terrorism. They have been labeled as enemy combatants and dissidents. They have been marginalized for their love of country and staunch support of the ideals on which this great country was built. We, as Patriots have become the enemy.

We are a country divided. The terms "Republican" and "Democrat" no longer apply. We are either Patriots or Loyalists. Lovers of government and tyranny or lovers of country and freedom. We are being thrust into a new era, that is, in fact, but another chapter in the story of liberty.

As said by one of the Great Patriots: Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

We stand on a precipice. Patriot or Loyalist. Tyranny or Liberty. Security (supposed) or Freedom. We all make a choice, either consciously or passively. Choose you this day who you will serve - the author of oppression or the Father of liberty. Will you meekly serve your masters or are you willing to suffer and perhaps even die in the name of Liberty and Freedom. Choose you this day.

American Patriots Bible - Watch the video at Shop Word of Life link!

THE ONE BIBLE THAT SHOWS HOW 'A LIGHT FROM ABOVE' SHAPED OUR NATION. Never has a version of the Bible targeted the spiritual needs of those who love our country more than The American Patriot's Bible. This extremely unique Bible shows how the history of the United States connects the people and events of the Bible to our lives in a modern world. The story of the United States is wonderfully woven into the teachings of the Bible and includes a beautiful full-color family record section, memorable images from our nation's history and hundreds of enlightening articles which complement the New King James Version Bible text.

Update:

Speaking of Patriotic loyalty, the following is a MUST READ! And take the time to read all of the links provided too!

Daily Thought Pad: Is pResident Obama Loyal to America... or To Someone Else?

Excerpt:

Since President Obama’s administration:

§ The Ft. Hood massacre (i.e. “man-caused disaster”) killed 13 Americans.

§ Fatalities of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan have increased by 330%.

§ There’s been a 620% increase in the number of wounded U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan.

§ I.E.D. deaths in Afghanistan have increased by 625%.

§ The underwear bomber would have killed Americans and others if the civilians on the plane had not intervened to stop him.

§ The Time Square bomber would have killed Americans if not for his own incompetence.

Germany and Spain closed mosques in their country within the last few weeks, yet the media has remained quiet about it. (See reference articles below).
The Ground Zero mosque would require the Islamic judicial system pursued by Imam Rauf – Sharia law. Among the gems found in Sharia law: death to Gays and Lesbians; enslavement and persecution of women; and honor killings.
Imam Rauf says that “Islamic law and justice begins in religious movements.” Infiltrating religious movements as a way to bring Islamic law and justice to America sheds new light on Imam Rauf’s pursuit of a mosque at Ground Zero.
Imam Rauf is involved in the Flotilla excursions to Gaza which intend to conquer Israel by driving them out of the Gaza strip. Imam Rauf has helped to finance the Flotillas and a September/October excursion is planned on the ship they named “Audacity of Hope,” inspired by President Obama’s book of the same name… which was inspired by Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Oh… and President Obama’s friends, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and Rashid Khalidi are also involved in the aggressive mission of these Flotilla.
What will America do with this information? Will America ignore it, or will America stand against infiltration which places its citizens, its judicial system, its national security and its allies at risk?

Will America care that President Obama, has brought Imam Rauf into the center of our national security?

It is difficult to choose just one link at the end of the post, but perhaps this one is most disturbing:

Wanted: 51 More Re-Founders For Our Constitutional Republic [Update 2]

It has been a while since I visited the 9.12 Project website. Today, I received an email about a post that interested me. After reading it, I was highly encouraged! I am currently waiting for permission to re-post it here. If I get the O.K, then I will include it in this post. For now, I will share my comment that I posted there. I will be adding additional points and links within my comment throughout the day. It will be my way of sharing all of the concerns that I have about the terrible direction that this current bogus POTUS, his "progressive" (meaning, Socialist/Marxist/Communist/Tyranny driven administration), and all of those unconstitutional rabidly-radical and crazy minded czars.

If you have been watching Glenn Beck's T.V. show, you already know that he is seeking 56 re-founders to get our nation back to the Constitutional Republic that our Founding Fathers created for us at the birth of our nation. We have 5 so far, so we need 51 more.

The following is a work in progress. This is what I have written so far:

I'm thrilled to learn that there are now 5 re-founders! Last I heard, there were only two. We need to praise God for those 5 brave people who have made the commitment to expose the corruption in Washington D.C. and work to get it (and those perpetrators) OUT! We already have our prayer answered - with just these 5 people! We must continue to wait (patiently) for the Lord's timing is perfect. We must continue to watch what is going on and watch for Christ's return. And, we must WORK during this time of chaos to alert those who:

1. Do not know the Lord Jesus Christ.

2. Have not been awakened to the fact that we have a gangster government (thanks for coining that phrase, Rep. Michele Bachmann!) where "soft" tyranny is creeping up on our citizens with the ultimate goal of hardcore tyranny being forced upon this nation and our people.

3. Are not aware of the dangers of Marxism - they must be educated - and not by the Socialist teachers amd professors in public and higher education.

4. Have not prepared for what is to come. The lack of trust for this corrupt government under an alleged usurper is growing exponentially and should alarm every American. People are turning to Fox News shows (like Glenn Beck's), the Internet and blogs to get the truth! They now know how the Media of Mass Deception has lied to the public over and over again! The Fringe Media can no longer be trusted. The New Media is much more truthful and reliable!

5. Have been very suspicious of the swine (H1N1) flu "epidemic" and the forced vaccination orders being given by the government. Hundreds of nurses and other medical professionals are refusing to get the vaccination - even if it means they will lose their jobs! What does that tell you? [Update: RepubX reports: Video: Ghadafi said during UN speech that H1N1 is an artificial bioweapon...maybe he's not so crazy? Naaa...that's crazy talk! Or is it??

6. Are not yet aware or highly concerned that Barack Obama IS A BIG FAT DECEPTIVE LIAR and has not released his vault-length COLB or other bona-fide documents about his past. Therefore we are only left with possible speculations about why he refuses to do so! Read everything at The Obama File each day to keep up with all of the Obaminations.

7. Are not concerned that Obama has had 30 meetings about the Olympics coming to Chicago in 2016, but only had time to meet with General McCrystal once - who has made a desperately needed request for more troops in Afghanistan in order to win that fight.

8. Are not aware of, and/or concerned about the Chicago corruption machine that surrounds Obama. Did you see Glenn's program today? He stated that Obama gave an "ethics waver" so that Valerie Jarrett [link added 10/1/09] could work with him in the administration!! In fact, she is one of his closest advisors!! Have you ever heard of an "ethics waver" before? Oh yeah... perhaps it was also used when tax cheat Tim Geithner became Treasury Secretary?

9. Is anyone no longer aware of the corruption that is ACORN?

10. And - what is with this Montana Town Occupied By Private Paramilitary Security Force? Not worried about it? Well then what about the insignia they are wearing? Check Out the American Police Force LOGO & who they are!

More will be added to this list as I think of them.

Of course, we must continue to pray about all of these situations. God is our protector and our strength! Through Him all things are possible! We all need to continue to pray for more patriots in Congress to become re-founders.

Thank you to the five who have already stepped forward to be re-founders! May God bless you in your work, and protect each of you and your families.

Does This Show America Today?

This particular day turned out to be quite busy for me. I didn't get the chance to put up a new post. However, as I checked my email messages tonight, Sosthenes sent me a very poignant quote which reveals why America is going through so much turmoil; and why we are on the verge of losing our freedoms.

The Library of Congress attributes the following to Professor Alexander Tyler, writing about democracy in the ancient Athenian pattern. It's amazingly relevant. [And I find it even more relevant today].

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury.... with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy is always followed by a dictatorship.

The average of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith--- from spiritual faith to great courage--- from courage to liberty---from liberty to abundance---from abundance to selfishness---from selfishness to complacency---from complacency to apathy--- from apathy to dependence--- from dependence back into bondage."

Two questions:

Does this show America today?

What sequence of the cycle do you see us in today?

Recall that Franklin quote when he was asked what type of government has been given to the United States of America:

"We have given you a Republic - if you can keep it."

What do you say, Fellow Patriots? Are we going to keep our Republic?

Tonight! What We Can Do!

Wow! Glenn Beck just played an awesome audio compilation (which is also a video that he will probably show on T.V. today) of Ronald Reagan warning the nation of how socialism will sneak in gradually through liberalism if we do nothing to prevent it from happening. Reagan quoted a former Communist party member who stated (paraphrased here) that America will not accept Socialism all at once, but piece by piece, it will infiltrate into our government until one day, it has taken over our Constitutional Republic and Capitalistic society.

If you have been following Glenn's series of shows this week that have been exposing the socialistic agenda and the thugs who will carry such an agenda out in the Obama Administration, then you have heard a lot of stunning bad news. Today, Glenn will share the good news. He is going to share what we can do about it.

After hearing the audio of Reagan's words, I'm sure that Glenn will be encouraging us into action. Some of my guesses as to what he will suggest that We The People do against this onslaught of Socialism being inflicted upon us are as follows:

1. Write your Congressmen and Senators - expressing your feelings about what is going on and how you object to it. Just as Ronald Reagan stated - even write to those who you think are on our side.

2. We need to clean house BIG TIME to get those who are putting forth this dangerous agenda. VOTE THEM OUT! Meaning, go to the polls in November, 2010 and vote out those representatives and senators who have voted for the awful bills that have been pushed through Congress.

3. Run for office yourself! What we seriously need are individual patriotic, conservative, Constitutional Republic honoring candidates (like Sarah Palin!) in office to get our country back on track in the direction that our Founding Fathers envisioned at the creation of our country.

4. Keep up the pressure at town hall meetings and show up at TEA Parties (especially the one in Washington D.C.) to voice your opinions, objections, and desires to place this country back on track.

5. Pass Glenn's series of T.V. shows on to everyone you know!! Educate others who may not be aware of what is going on. Maybe you could make a DVD of the series of shows from your DVR and gather people together to show it to a group who have not seen them yet.

6. Take the questions that Glenn has asked and ask them at town hall meetings. Place them on protest signs at TEA Parties.

I'm sure that there are many more items on Glenn's list that will help motivate us towards our goal to GET OUR COUNTRY BACK!!

Don't miss the show tonight!

And, don't let the mockers and naysayers against Glenn get to you. They aren't deterring Glenn!! He's got an iron will in this endeavor and I, for one, am VERY GRATEFUL to him for speaking out! We needed someone like him to expose this travesty of justice and treasonous actions being done by this hijacking of the Democratic Party! Thank God for Glenn!

On the radio, Glenn just said:

"Sticks and stones may break his bones - but Glenn's got answers!"

Yep...

Over at the "We Surround Them" website, I read the following comment (last initial only posted for privacy reasons):


Comment by Chris & Patty B. 23 hours ago

Hey everyone,

I attended the Towne Hall Meeting with Kevin McCarthy yesterday at CSUB in Bakersfield. We had approximately 3500 people that attended and all was very orderly and respectable. There were no infiltraters(SEIU,ACORN,ETC) present. There were many great questions on the health care (OBAMANATION) they call a bill. A lot of the questions asked were the same ones offered up by Glenn Beck so people are listening and seem to be waking up! We need to keep fighting this on all fronts and not let our guard down for one minute!

There are Communists, Marxists, Statists, and Socialists within the infrustructure of our government trying to get a foot hold and change America to their standards while shredding our Constitution in the process! I believe that starting with Obama (I will not call him anything else) on down, ought to be charged with TREASON and should be removed from office and arrested for their crimes starting with the violation of the oath of office they all were sworn to. They should be thought of as domestic enemies of this great nation and it's people! The reason they want to take away Talk Radio, Free Speech and our 2nd Amendment is because they know we are waking up and they don't want us to rise up against them! I hope and pray that it doesn't come to that because it will be bloody! I will not hand over my freedom to anyone without a fight! I am a veteran of the United States Army and a soldier forever defending America and it's people! I WILL NEVER QUIT !!!!!!

Here's another great comment from that website:
