Let me first welcome you to my blog and thank you for checking it out. I know there are as many blogs as there are people these days, so I hope to give you a reason to come back to my blog day after day, week after week, be it because you like what I've written or I have thoroughly angered you to the point of having to respond. Afterall, if I'm saying the same things as everyone else, why have my own blog anyway.
The purpose of this blog is to begin again, as I did with my radio talk show, to cause people to want to "Know The Truth" by asking questions, not giving answers; by exploring different thought processes than the 'mainstream'; by compelling you to read this and go "hmmm, I wonder"?; and by reintroducing you to the foundation principles and documents from the origins of this great Nation, so that you can see what was actually written, said, and intended for and about these united States of America.
Some people have and will call me radical and extreme; others will say it's too late to make a difference; and a majority of you may want to dismiss what's said here, at first, because it doesn't fit with your Republican or Democrat views and challenges your 'status quo'. Well, let me challenge each of you: read what I and others write here and consider the questions asked and the views expressed. If it compels you to go seek answers, do so and report them back to us here. If you find I'm wrong about something, point it out in big bold letters for all to see. If you want to defend your branch of Socialism, be it Republican or Democrat, please share that with us all right here. This is to be a forum of exchange of ideas and knowledge; of opinions and viewpoints; of agreements and disagreements. It's not going to be managed by government officials, which means your right to freedom of speech will not only be protected, as it is supposed to be by the First Amendment but, it is welcomed and encouraged.
I am not afraid to be wrong; I am not afraid to be called out; I am not afraid to be called names; I am not afraid to be threatened by individuals or government agents/agencies(been there, done that...still here)! What I am afraid of, and afraid I've been doing for too many years since the pause in my show, is to do NOTHING! Too many people, for too long, especially those who call themselves Christians, have sat back and done NOTHING to preserve this Country for "ourselves and our posterity". Well, it's time to change that or I'm afraid one day it truly may be too late.
Our Founding Fathers didn't meet and try to decide if they really thought they could make a difference just in their lifetime. They didn't sit around and whine and say that maybe it was too late to make a difference because the British were so entrenced in their lives. They didn't flip on ESPN or Oprah or CNN, live for the weekend and only worry about how their family and they themselves were affected by what they were doing. They promised each other their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to establish a place where not only they could live free of tyranny and oppression but, where their families and their posterity (succeeding or future generations) could live that way as well.
So I ask you now, is this Country today what those Patriots envisioned? Would John Hancock and Joseph Hewes, Samuel Chase and Carter Braxton, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson be proud of what they see today or would they be disgusted at what has become of the baby Nation they helped birth? If you believe they'd be proud of what they see today and you're satisfied with the status quo, we probably won't be seeing or hearing from you again here and that's ok. When we take back this Country for you, you will still be welcomed. However, if you are one, like I am, who is dissatisfied with our current system, who knows that our Founding Fathers would be turning over in their graves at what exists today, who is tired of living oppressed and controlled by tyrannical politicians whose number one conern is their own wallet and their own welfare, then welcome home. I thank you for joining me here and thank you for having the guts to stand up and begin today to make a difference, for yourself, for your family and for future generations.
John 8:32 says, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free". This blog is the pursuit of that truth and the seed of freedom and liberty for all who can put aside the paradigm that you came here with, open up your mind and your heart, seek the truth as it truly exists, not as you're told it does by others, and share that truth you find with others on a daily basis.
In closing, to borrow from Abraham Lincoln, the world may little note nor long remember what we say here; let us hope however that what grows from it and the actions we take because of it, will cause the world to never forget what we do here. The time is now for us to "Know The Truth" and the truth will make us free!
