A House Divided...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The man is never as big as the movement. Students of history are quite aware of this fact. Seldom does the man who starts the fire hold a candle of character to the myth that follows for it is the fire that is important and not the man. But we, as humans, want to relate so we latch on to the man and create the myth. Thomas Paine was a horrid creature to many that knew him. Marx was a despicable father. Hitler was a drug addict and probably mostly insane. JFK was a womanizer and involved himself in organized crime. Lenin was evil incarnate. Mussolini was reviled by those who knew him best. Reagan's second son hated him. There are no heroes.
Yet we yearn for heroes. Oddly enough the true heroes are sometimes reviled eventually. Think Jesus, Luther, Patton, McCarthy, North, or more recently Assange, Snowden or O'Keefe. Think what these unrelated characters all had in common; they spoke the truth. Again with one exception they were all imperfect men, flawed...normal. Truth is the first victim of tyranny.
The United States of America. That used to mean something to me, in my short lifetime. It is a lie. Perhaps it always has been and I was too naïve to note. Just look at the electoral college map of any recent election. We are no more united than Jews and Muslims, Abortionists and Pro-Lifers, Military and Pacifists, Doers and Takers, Patriots and Instigators.
The history of America is a history of a nation that mostly got along and occasionally divided violently. We, as a supposedly advanced people, have mostly rejected violent opposition. This, however, was predicated on the ideal that we were all Americans and generally had the same ultimate goal of preservation of the republic. We find ourselves in a time where that is no longer true. We have a nation in which almost half of same reject our founding and it's principles. This is the reality that exposes itself in our current political circumstance. We don't argue over the nuance of how Liberty manifests itself in each or our lives, we now argue over whether Liberty is even worth praise or preserving. A nation that hates it's own history is destined for destruction.
The natural state of Liberty is regression. Contemporary events such as wars or economic downturns tend to fool the people into believing that an all-powerful state is necessary for security. While temporarily true, the implementation of required power is always over played and exploited by those who gain financially; think big corporations, politicians and media moguls. The people are always the victims of this altruistic lie. Liberty, once lost is exponentially harder to regain.
So here we are.

God and Liberty. Indivisible.
'I don't need a fairy man in the sky to live Free!' I can here the naysayers squeal. Actually, you do. Where many armchair philosophers fail in our time is that they confuse their own experience with that of Mankind as a whole. While one man may be able to live a virtuous and fruitful life without any faith or belief in a Creator; the vast majority of his species can not and will not. Whether such a man exists without any past underpinning of religiousity is a debate for another day. That Mankind as a whole is brutal and selfish in his natural state is indisputable. The kernel of truth the sofa scholar ignores is that without simultaneous and similar action by his fellow Man, particularly within his immediate location or Nation dare we say, his attempt at living Free will be aborted in it's infancy. The argument is and always must be, for Mankind to live together in larger groups and thrive and prosper, they must have an innate sense that they are intended to do so; that it is their nature to love each other and protect each other. This is not the nature of an animal, merely surviving in the jungle on wits that have coincidentally been exponentially enhanced above all other animals. This is the nature of a creature with a soul, created for a special purpose and place within the universe of all things.
The hubris of the man too smart for God will not likely be swayed by the argument of Man. But Nature is a cruel teacher; nay a serial killer. She has no compunction for smiting the arrogant narcissist. Unfortunately, the collateral damage of an ignorance that permeates near half of a society is as undeserved as it is sure. Tragically, this ignorance is fermented within our very institutions of higher knowledge. The laziness and faux tolerance of the silent majority in America has allowed our vaunted institutions to be infected with the virus of Marxism to an extent that may not be reversible. It is a self-fulfilling suicide pact. The people necessary to change the system are the very tenured people who benefit from same. They will not change without force. Why should they? They don't believe in Liberty. They don't believe in God. They are blinded by hate and an emotional ideology that is fueled by the self-gratification of virtue signaling. Future generations are doomed to self hate, self loathing and perpetual indignation over life itself. Without forgiveness, a religious construct, they will ever be trapped in their nihilism.
I typically like to end an article with the positive. I am in fact a positive man. I have always had great faith in humankind specifically Western Civilization. However, here we stand where that very concept is under attack, not by some savage external force (they are there as well, but less of a real threat), but by our very neighbor and fellow citizens. This will not end well. It will not reverse itself. It will get MUCH worse before it gets better. Our latest national election was a respite, but only temporary. Do you really believe that there is another Donald Trump in the wings ready to carry on the battle against the globalist forces of corruption, death and tyranny? We have seen how the soulless react to being rejected. They got more harsh, more angry, more violent and exponentially more evil. They now proudly stand on the bodies of dead babies and declare their superiority over anyone who doesn't believe that killing babies is a natural right. This will continue. They will get more shrill and vile if the righteous stand against their assault on all that is Good, Decent and Wholesome.
In the end, Good will prevail. It is God's plan and natural order of the universe. However, the road can and must be fraught with danger, chaos and tragedy. Dark Times are often followed by progress and prosperity. The generations doomed to the interim, have nothing to do but to piss on the graves of their ancestors for subjecting them to the unspeakable horror of relearning a known history. May God Bless.

Military Heads In The Cloud
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have to admit. Even after 40 years of interest in military tactics and 'strategery', I never saw this coming. Just when I think our government can not POSSIBLY be more stupid; they prove me wrong.

If and when the younger generations learn and know what Liberty and Free-Market Capitalism really are and what they do for each individual, we will be a Free Nation once again. Bank on it!

Desperate, Corrupt Politicians Shaped Trump Racist Narrative
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A follow up to the last video. How do they get us to hate Donald Trump? Not difficult to figure out, and yes, he gave them some ammunition. All Americans need to be very away of how the Marxists use hate to divide us and rule over us. Get off the Liberal Plantation!

Why Do They Hate President Trump?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Politics is a dirty business and there is enough hate to go around, especially during an election year. The sheer vitriol pointed at President Donald J. Trump is unprecedented in modern times. One must wonder, why do they hate this man so? I believe I have the answer. As a warning; never have unprotected discourse. Protect yourself with the prophylactic of knowledge.

Soul & Heart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nothing is more important than your soul. Please don't be flippant in your free will choice to believe or not believe. The two greatest gifts of God are Grace and Free Will. God loves us all, but he will not force you to Heaven. He allows you to decide for yourself. The ramifications of that decision however, are LITERALLY eternal. Let us be diligent and thoughtful therefore in our most important decision of our short lives. May God Bless you all.
Incidentally, some of you may notice that I always say 'May' God Bless...It is a small thing and I don't think the Big Guy will condemn you for not using this form of blessing. It is however, a nice tool for keeping us humble and understanding our place. God Bless You; is a demand for the Lord to do something. Bestowing a blessing is to ask for a gift; therefore we say 'May' God Bless.

Who Is The Target Of Censorship?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Isn't it amazing how easily and comfortably the American public accepts censorship? Many think it is good. We'll get rid of those racists and radicals dirtying the airwaves. One question. Who decides what is or isn't acceptable? Not you my friend, not you.

What Liberals Want to Destroy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few glitches in this video. However, the content is important so I will publish it. It's not about me or how it looks; it is about knowledge. There are four legs to the stool of progress of humankind. Liberals are like beavers, chewing away at all four legs.

A Scottish Lullaby
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was inspired to write a Scottish Lullaby. I couldn't get anyone else to sing it...so I had to. You should listen for entertainment purposes if nothing else. Any real musician who would like to render this professionally is hereby released to do so. I just...love...music.

Fried Rice?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Senator Charles Grassley, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a letter of inquiry to former UN Ambassador Susan Rice. The context was regarding an email that she sent to herself documenting a meeting with Former President Barak Hussein Obama. Hmmm...

The Reputation of the FBI
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The FBI has a history. Some of it is very good. Some...is wanting. Reputation is earned, not simply given because of one's place within a government bureaucracy.

What Makes Liberals Tick?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Is it a worthy exercise to try to figure out why Liberals are as obstinate and obtuse as they are?
Perhaps we should simply defeat them at every opportunity.

'The Memo' ... Is About Us!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How did we get to a point where a sitting President uses the intelligence community to spy on his political opponents? The 'Patriot' Act...that's how. Yes sir, it's OUR fault.

Missed Information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't stop with your first Google search. They are manipulating the data you are 'allowed' to see. Research endlessly your whole life and constantly update your conclusions based on all information available, not just what they TELL you to think.

All Criminals Are Created Equal

Under our Constitution, if you allow one person to benefit from a crime, you MUST allow ALL citizens to benefit from crime.

Don't Be a Sucker
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marxist Ideology, and therefore the Democrat Party, is built on division. Division is how they gain power and control over you. Liberty is about freedom and Marxism/Socialism/Progressivism/Liberalism/Communism/Fascism/Democrats are ALL about CONTROL. Do you long to be controlled? If so, move to Venezuela now; before they eat each other.

Is Art Dead?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A commentary on whether Art has progressed to it's maximum forward movement. Is all Art from this point on simply a lateral move, encompassing known art?
