The Meme and The Mirror

On Easter, I created a meme and posted it to facebook. It was a rather innocuous meme, a play on words in my own snarky style.

That meme quickly became one of the most responded to posts that I have put up in quite some time.

Naturally, there were those who “got it” and those that didn’t. There were those who laughed at it, and those who didn’t. There were, no doubt, many who saw it and just scrolled on by and of course there were those who felt a deep need to post up a comment regarding the post, and regarding me as the poster of the meme.

Many of those who choose to respond to the meme were quick to condemn me for it and some of their comments were downright laughable although I’m rather sure they weren’t trying to garner a chuckle from me.

The Intellect and Conscience of Independence

On July 4th, we celebrate our nation’s birth and this year, 2020, it will be the 244th time we have done so but that date, while by no means suspect, should be seen in context. One of our founders thought the celebration would occur on a different date and he, in no uncertain terms, put it in writing using the social media of the day.

The date was July 1st, 1776 when John Adams, a prolific letter writer and a visionary founder of our nation penned a letter to his wife Abigail Adams, in which he made what at the time was a series of bold predictions.

“The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.”

Adams missed the mark by 2 days, believing that the day the document was presented to the Continental Congress, not the day it would be adopted, would be the celebratory day, but this excerpt from a simple letter offers much more, I believe, than a 48 hour premature pronouncement of celebration.

That letter, I submit, is a look behind the scenes and provides a fresh look at how one of our founders perceived the moment.

I’ll return to this letter after a look at the historical context which encouraged Adams to put his pen to parchment.

Jefferson – 17 Days To Immortality

Imagine if you will, going to work one day where you had become known as the quiet one who hardly ever spoke out. On that day, you were appointed to a committee and that committee’s task was to prepare a major report which would set the direction of your company for years to come.

Daunting though that might seem, now, imagine being given a deadline of less than 3 weeks to compile that report.

Oh, it gets better.

The little committee tells you that YOU’RE in charge of the project. Oh, they’ll HELP but, YOU get to write it and THEY’LL look it over, maybe give you a little advice or make a change or two but it’s YOUR baby.

Feeling the pressure yet?

On July 4th, we celebrate our nation’s birth and this year, 2018, it will be the 242nd time we have done so but that date, while by no means suspect, should be seen in context.

Amnesty for Millions – Tyranny for ALL

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen – The National Patriot and Right Side Patriots on cprworldwidemedia.com

TYRANT 1In light of the despot’s announcement last night, that 5 million criminal aliens are to be allowed to stay in our nation, on our soil when he signs a unilateral order to that effect today in flagrant violation of laws passed by congress and without FIRST securing our borders…

In the face of the repudiation of his agenda and policies so handed down by the vote of the people on November 4th, 2014…only a scant 17 days ago…

And in the face of what the despot himself has so often told his subjects…We the People…that he does not have the legal authority to proceed on the matter of immigration reform without said consent of the congress…at least 22 times since 2008 and if you would like the list you can read it in its entirety by clicking here…

I thought it a damn good time to send the tyrant a reminder of exactly what our founders and framers had in mind.

Trust me when I say…THEY…saw HIM…coming…

Weekend Edition: The State of the 4th Estate

Posted on by

If you think that the FCC’s backing down and running away with their tails tucked hastily between their collective legs regarding the proposed Government-Goons-in-the-newsrooms-of-America debacle is the end of it…

Think again.

It’s nothing more than the tip of the tyranny iceberg.

Yes, you probably heard about the idea of sending goons to monitor newsrooms under the guise of some sort of study and, you most likely were up in arms about it given the 1st Amendment’s guarantee of “Freedom of the Press” but, there may well be things you didn’t realize.

1st, is the notion that all of this was to somehow procure a “study” regarding minorities and the balance of news coverage.

BULLCRAP.

This was the precursor to a government-forced or mandated idea of racial balance both IN the newsrooms and delivered BY them.

Either news and media organizations were going to be forced to hire minorities whose primary job qualifications were going to be the color of their skin or…

This was going to bring about a government-ordered SELL OFF of some media groups directly TO minority ownership regardless of the private market, fair selling prices or interest in those companies BY minority groups.

Government mandated pandering to a known liberal voting bloc under the guise of racial equality.

2nd…There is no way in hell this is really over.

Yes, the FCC backed down. They blinked and pulled their plans to snoop and SUSPENDED this unlawful study but…Consider this…

If this was really over…It would have CANCELLED the “study” and…

U.S. History – Separated by Centuries Not by Issues

Posted on by

Last year, on July 5th, I ran the following article.

Before we get to tomorrow’s great holiday, I felt it needed to be revisited as it has a direct bearing on our very special and IMPORTANT 4th of July article TOMORROW!!!

236 years ago, yesterday, a nation rose from tyranny and oppression. A people, with unalienable rights endowed by the Creator, had had enough of Imperial rule and said so boldly, courageously and with the knowledge that they had a choice.

Patrick Henry understood that choice.

In a speech before the Virginia House of Burgesses, on March 23, 1775, Henry swung the vote convincing his Colony to send troops to the Revolutionary War when he proclaimed, “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!”

12 years earlier, Patrick Henry, a bar keeper turned attorney had argued in a case that the King was but “a tyrant who forfeits the allegiance of his subjects.”

In 1765, a law student and guest in the House of Burgesses, Thomas Jefferson, listened while, regarding the Stamp Act, Henry offered resolutions to nullify them. Henry, at that time, was met with fierce opposition and his resolutions were termed as treasonous to the King. What Patrick Henry said in response, lit the fire in Jefferson that would lead him to be elected to the House of Burgesses 6 years later.

Urine Luck

Posted on by

While many of us persist to focus on the plankton–the incidental consequences–of issue after issue, we tend to ignore the provenance of waters which run deep. Okay, so maybe I’m not making much sense to you so far, but allow me a moment of your time to expound on a document I circulated a few weeks ago regarding the constitutionality of drug-testing welfare recipients. Although the points to counter my argument were compelling, sometimes poignant, it seems that a substantial amount of the counter-pointers live within ideologically fraught parameters. To a degree, the parameters encase a discombobulated “take” which may even, at times, include sub-parameters which cancel each other out. And yet, there they are, coexisting side-by-side with a crooked grin.

Okay, I’m still not making much sense. I understand…

So, I’ll just dive right in.
