Text of the page (random words):
who believed the sinister men who were determined to enslave them it was to be for a limited time only we were assured but tyrants never relinquish the powers they have gained they incorporate them in perpetual law it was done so quietly so skillfully a nation will fight when its full liberty is threatened and the full plot exposed but if liberties are subdued little by little no provocation for a nationwide revolt is given like thieves in the night who move stealthily and without sound so did evil men move in your former free government robbing away the heart and the body of your liberty denuding your homes of its treasures slowly stifling your tongues imperceptibly silencing your press they invaded the schoolrooms of your children poisoning and debasing their minds twisting them to their purposes so that future generations would not know of honor and pride and the might of free men the themes of this book are powerful timely and frightening in the book the world has become an unrecognizable place it is a world that is now controlled by the far left while a small group of patriots work to reinvigorate the down trodden citizens to restore the republic and american values using themes of social justice political correctness unity duty and sacrifice the government has enslaved the citizens making them a nationalized workforce and reducing all to a standard of living that breaks their spirit wake up america we are at a major cross road in our history our current federal government was in expansion mode they wanted control of everything and they used all the tools at their disposal to gain it while the current administration seems to want to stop this expansion there are many mixed signals we are witnessing an era of american politics unlike any other the backroom deals to pass legislation the arm twisting by the administration the use of regulatory agencies to move forward agenda items when legislation fails the coddling of labor unions the open discussion of redistribution of wealth the ignoring belittling of the constitution the continued assault on the role of god in society and the demonizing of capitalism free market economics the list goes on and on but never before have these happened in such quantity in so overt a manner blind trust of any political group is stupid question everything and do your own research it is time for those who believe that the america that once represented a shining light to the world should return to its former glory to get involved and help lead the return you can do this by using your voice and your vote to take responsibility for your country it is your civic responsibility as the book warns while you still had a measure of liberty and could vote vile tyrants and corrupt men out office you listened instead to the promises of those men and you voted honorable and decent men out of office and on the day when you again allow abominable men to confiscate your freedom your money your lives your private property your manhood and your sacred honor in the name of security or national emergency you will die and never again shall you be free if plotters again destroy your republic they will do it by your greedy and ignorant assent by your disregard of your neighbors rights by your apathy and your stupidity we were brought to the brink of universal death and darkness because we had become that most contemptible of people an angerless one keep alive and vivid all your righteous anger against traitors against those who would abrogate your constitution restore the republic defend the constitution reject the agenda of the progressive left the time is near at hand which must determine whether americans are to be free men or slaves george washington the natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground thomas jefferson arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness george washington writer s note every american who is concerned about the direction of our country should read this book the book reviews of the time said if you are sure dictatorship can t happen here read this terrifying novel of the not so distant future and be warned saturday review a novel to be thoughtfully read by americans of all shades of political conviction new york herald tribune this book is out of print but is available used on amazon and other book sites on line leave a comment posted in uncategorized minneapolis and the tragedy of the situation posted on may 31 2020 1 comment no americans should fear enmity and harm from those sworn to protect us the death of george floyd must not be in vain our shock and outrage must grow into collective determination to extinguish forever such racist abuse mitt romney once again rino romney has a half a thought it was a start but it ended there first i want to start by saying what happened to george floyd is reprehensible the officers involved should prosecuted to the full extent of the law so let me say this as respectfully as i can as long as human beings roam the planet there will continue to be racists of all colors racism can not be eliminated completely through collective determination simply because it can never be completely eliminated due to the human factor that said as a society we can continue to work on the cultural issues that fuel racism and cut it off any place we find it has been institutionalized but first we must focus on the perpetrators and the facts around each situation then address the root cause of each the knee jerk and divisive reactions we regularly see compliments of the media and lousy politicians constantly sets our society and any gains we have made back the media rationalization of the protestors behavior only emboldens the troublemakers also i think we all know that all of these people are not local protestors but rather some are political operatives sent there to cause chaos they don t care about george floyd they only care about furthering their own agenda all cops are not bad so when a precinct is burned down let s not pretend it is some how justified why does target deserves to be looted why do local businesses deserve to be burned how does destroying your own neighborhood local businesses people s personal property or your community fix the problem please don t talk to me about pent up anger if you are pissed at a friend and you go kick his ass despite your pent up anger you will be arrested and put in jail memorial services candle light vigils and peaceful protests are every americans right and should not be interfered with as long as they don t infringe on the rights of others or the community as a whole society must hold all players in these dramas accountable for their actions the 4 cops should have been arrested the minute that video was validated and held while the da decided on the appropriate charges that alone would have taken some of the emotions down a notch or two when these incidents occur we must move swiftly to defuse them but back to my original point fixing these problems has more to due with holding the perpetrators responsible for their actions in a swift and decisive manner rather than allowing them to be used as politial fodder to be used to drive unrest perpetrators of this behavior should be made examples of so it is understood it will not be tolerated if this is really about george floyd and justice everything else must to stop so we can focus on that my prayers are with the floyd family and all my friends in the twin cities this is so hard to watch happen to a place where i spent 28 happy years of my life america we are teetering on the brink it is time to heal our country before it is lost and our freedoms with it let s not let the politicians win god bless america and help us before it s too late 1 comment posted in uncategorized you are an american embrace it posted on july 4 2015 leave a comment you are an american embrace it you have freedom here like no other country in the world yes we are not perfect but what country is we are the most caring and giving nation in history despite our flaws love your country recognize that only in america do you have the freedom to be individuals to protest anything you want and to choose your own path if you disagree then why are so many people still trying to get here anyway they can it is time for the citizens of this great nation to work together to restore us to our former glory stop acting like petulant children finding fault with each other and bickering like spoiled siblings the media has everyone whipped into a frenzy about things that really don t matter like gay marriage confederate flags a fake war on women and over exaggerated claims of serial police brutality when i say they don t matter i mean in the context of the real problems facing our country unemployment spiraling out of control debt a crumbling infrastructure and unsecured borders social issues should and can be resolved at the state level they are not the business of the federal government i support individual rights and would not take away someone else s because their beliefs don t agree with mine unless they are harming someone while these issue should not be ignored it is time to prioritize our agenda to ensure the survival of our nation as well as the liberties and freedom that have made us great be proud of your country resolve to help restore our greatness and enjoy another 239 years of freedom for our children s sake as ronald reagan said if we lose freedom here there is no place to escape to this is the last stand on earth god bless america and a happy 4th to you and yours leave a comment posted in uncategorized open letter about political posts on fb and twitter posted on march 1 2015 2 comments i am growing weary of all the political bs flowing through my facebook and twitter pages i don t want to offend my friends or anyone else with what i say next but sometimes the truth is hard most people not all are uninformed don t get half of what they hear on the news and are too lazy to research things they don t understand instead most just settle for sound bites and base their opinions on what they are being fed by the media the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors thomas jefferson june 6 1807 many others are driven by a single issue or interest or just so caught up in their own lives they are oblivious to what is happening around them i am offended that things are posted as factual that are clearly designed with sensationalism in mind false and misleading posts undermine your position regardless of which side you support we seem to have lost the ability to have factual debates and instead seem to prefer emotional fact less or lie filled diatribes our discussions have been reduced to calculated sound bites designed to manipulate or incite overreaction clearly we have lost our way our country is in the worst shape in our history america will never be destroyed from the outside if we falter and lose our freedoms it will be because we destroyed ourselves abraham lincoln i keep seeing pro democrat or pro republican conservative posts asking for likes or shares extolling their respective virtues news flash they both suck how about firing all of them as both parties have become jokes by the way when you look past the rhetoric it is hard to tell them apart let s start over in 2016 and replace them all with leaders that will put government back in its place which is out of our daily lives period the federal government was intended for defense infrastructure and managing foreign affairs not deciding issues of marriage diet or healthcare let the states govern per the 10th amendment to the needs of their constituents we need to start over with leaders who will follow the constitutional roles for each branch of government it will take years to unwind the massive bureaucracy that is in place but that and a strong economy with jobs to make people self sufficient are required for the country to survive unfortunately our country is overrun with people who want the government to take care of them rather than an opportunity to take care of themselves today 44 of the country s federal income supports entitlements on top of that our infrastructure is crumbling and we keep handing out foreign aid often to our enemies while borrowing money at a rate that is unsustainable nothing is so well calculated to produce a death like torpor lethargy in the country as an extended system of taxation and a great national debt william cobbett feb 10 1804 there is no such thing as social justice or free stuff everything the government hands out has to be paid for by someone even in socialist countries there is a class system with haves and have nots it is just in those places there are more have nots and less even less haves with little opportunity to change status finally if you want to participate in the conversation please do it in a meaningful way be thoughtful rather than a bomb thrower research the things that fire you up don t trust a single source for your news or facts fox news cnn nbc msnbc and the rest all have an agenda use all of these resources as well as the international press to study the issues and form your opinions if we stay on the current path we will destroy ourselves as lincoln suggested we need common sense and an informed public to fix the problems we face i still believe most americans want a strong country a strong economy and a shot at the american dream it is time to get informed think for yourself and align your positions with your values not a political party 2 comments posted in uncategorized paul harvey 1965 describes america in 2015 posted on october
