Freedom

Freedom is a word that should invoke a sense of peace. When one accepts the free gift of pardon from Jesus Christ there is a peace that passeth all understanding. If you have tasted the freedom under the protection of the constitution you experience a little taste of that type peace. I am old enough to have lived under that freedom. I know what it is to feel freedom. To live without fear or opression of government. To know what it is like not to have government meddeling in things that are none of their affair.

Founding Quotes from Founding Fathers.
"Any people that would give up liberty for a little temporary safety deserves neither liberty nor safety." Benjamin Franklin

Freedom is not that things are always right or good or even just. There have always existed things that did not seem right. Freedom allows the opportunity for free discourse, the ability to take a stand, and yes even die for what you believe to be the right course. To grow and change and become a good citizen.

Founding Quotes from Founding Fathers.
"If we wish to be free, if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending, if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained _ we must fight!" Patrick Henry

When government meddles in the affairs of men, in places it has not authority and attempts to be all things to all people the result is confusion, disappointment, and turmoil. We have arrived in those days. God never intended man and his government to reign supreme. When government assumes that position it robs God of his glory.

The Founding Fathers were careful to give place and due respect to the Creator. They were careful to acknowledge that freedom and liberty were and are gifts of God. When we fail to apply government in it's proper position then we are courting disaster. Wisdom of man is but foolishness with God and without divine guidance it can only lead to vanity.

Founding Quotes from Founding Fathers.
"Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams

"Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God." Thomas Jefferson

Washington has become vain in their thoughts and actions. They believe (they being the president,congress,senate, and the court) that they know better what the people need than the people do and therefore can ignore their will. That the governors are more wise than the governed. There was an overwhelming cry against the bailouts of private business and we were ignored. There has been a cry of NO! on this so called healthcare which is nothing more than controlcare and they are pressing on. Global warming aka climate change is a hoax and the people know but they keep telling the lie and moving forward selling out our national sovereignty and sending us to bankruptcy.

Founding Quote from Founding Fathers.
A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicity. Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address.

We must educate ourselves about our constitutional rights and demand that the legislators return to our God fearing conservative roots. If we continue to be ignored then we must work to remove those in the seat of power. The time to work is now! It will soon be too late and we will be forced into situation that will be less than desirable. Our grand children and great grandchildren are at stake.
