Folks, I just received an email from someone I consider a friend, a patriot and above all, a Great American Hero. This person has done more to advance the cause of liberty, freedom and independence than just about anyone in D.C. Time and again this person has been a voice for optimism and certainty when both were little seen or heard. So when I saw the personal message at the bottom of the group email, I knew it was time for me to speak.
Here is the note... "News
Alert A
news alert on FOX just announced that out of the $350,000,000,000.00 the
ignoramuses at the treasury has already spent, $78,000,000,000.00 of it was
wasted in that they overpaid by that amount for the holdings that they paid for
with OUR money.
Idiots. Our new treasury secretary, Mr. Tax Cheat, was involved actively
with this payout/bailout, taxpayer/robbery waste. SPEAK UP AMERICA.
!!! We need a full blown Revolt in this country."
Why is this so important? This rational and exceptional individual is calling for a revolt. Their not telling us simply to have and use our voice, their telling us to stand up and overthrow the government. This is not the first time I've hears such a sentiment, but it is the first time I've heard it from someone so level headed. For this reason I have decided to, in my very humble words, explain a few things.
Now is not the time to engage in a Confederate style secession or revolutionary revolt. Put down your torches and pitchforks. Now is not the time to pit brother against brother or to quibble over minor differences in philosophy. Now is not the time to revolt, now is the time to unite. Does this mean we accept the Socialism being hurled at us from the leftists "in charge"? No! It means we must look to our fellow Americans, open a dialogue about where our country is going and where we want it to go. It means we must activate the form of government instituted by the founders in the Constitution. Citizen government was never intended for only the wealthy and powerful. Planters and Printers, Farmers and Firefighters make up most of the men who are responsible for the country we have today. Many were dirt poor and tended fields by day and sowed revolutionary dreams of their own independence by night. Fewer still had toiled in their soil for many years in order to establish their wealth and local position before stretching out into the boundaries of revolutionary politics. Even though Lincoln was a lawyer and lawmaker before he was elected, he was born to a farmer, poor and unknown. He never attended Harvard, Yale or Columbia. He had no degree, no pedigree and no fame. He studied hard, never enjoying the fortunes of a college education and by wits and effort alone passed the bar, became part of the state legislature and eventually President. From humble beginnings come the best talent. Ronald Wilson Reagan was born poor. It was only through his years acting, in B-movies that he gained any fame. Did he simply fade into the dust? No, because Reagan was an American and he knew it and was proud of it. He went on to become the greatest President of the modern era and arguably one of the best in history. They all, from Samuel Adams to George Washington to Abraham Lincoln to Ronald Reagan have one thing in common. They were proud Americans. This country is literally filled with men and women like them. We see them everyday everywhere we go. We don't speak to them and we don't know them, or maybe we do. We've got to activate these people. We've got to press these folks into service. It's time now to unite as Americans under the common cause of preserving our liberty and defending our freedom. WE must reinstate citizen government. We MUST take back our country. We must do it though with civility and activism. We must do it across party lines. We must understand the difference between a Democrat and a Socialist and we must act fast and not allow our country to be hijacked from us in the dark of night. WE are "the shining city on a hill" that Ronald Reagan spoke of. WE THE PEOPLE are what make this country great and we must be proud to do so. Please stand with me, with us. Join in the movement, unite in the quest and let's take back our government from the wealthy and privileged.
