Welcome to the First Coast Tea Party
I'll keep my Republic, thank you
The headlines got to me again today. The call out for Democracy seems to be the buzz word of the year.
I remember watching the Egyptian Arab Spring unfold and tried to understand what was really going on. The Mainstream Media and the White House supported it and used the words “democracy” for all. They helped the people in the street become “free” from the hands of their leader, Mubarak. This was supposed to be a good thing.
This week, the truth about the Arab Spring in Egypt finally made headlines and since I’m a professed Christian, this one really got to me – “Christians under siege in post revolution Egypt.” Could this really be happening?
See for yourself at: http://www.faithfreedom.org/features/news/msnbc-christians-under-si...
These words moved me -- “Outside the Coptic Hospital in Cairo, where bodies of 17 slain protesters were brought, a Coptic woman named Iman Sanada with a small cross tattooed on her wrist, lamented the deaths and shrieked: “It’s my right to live as a citizen and not a second-class citizen.”
Remembrances of Sunday School lessons swirled in my head and Moses stating to Pharaoh, “Let my people go” resonated in my soul. History repeats itself and I thought, “Oh Egypt, will you never learn your lesson?”
More headlines caught my eye. The red flag of Communism is Occupying the streets of America. The Communists are marching with Occupy Chicago and one of their leaders is identified as Organizing for America’s organizer for President Obama. You can find this information at http://biggovernment.com/rebelpundit/2011/10/17/update-communist-ma...
In the article, the leader states, “we plan to use the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic of mass occupation to restore democracy in America.”
There's that word again... democracy. I thought, “America is not a democracy, Mr. OFA Leader and Communist instigator. America is a Constitutional Republic that is the best type of government possible for ALL people because it gives us the freedom that no other form of government can.” See more about the differences between a Republic and a Democracy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DioQooFIcgE
Suddenly the words of the pledge filled my head -- “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands – One Nation Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.”
As the pledge swirled in my head, I read an article about the Occupy Movement where President Obama supports their efforts. You can find the article here: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20116707-503544.html
He stated:
"American people understand that not everybody's been following the rules," he said. "These days, a lot of folks doing the right thing are not rewarded. A lot of folks who are not doing the right thing are rewarded. That will express itself until 2012 and beyond until people feel they are getting back to old-fashioned American values."
Read that again.... “Those who are not doing the right thing are rewarded and we are going back to old-fashioned American values?”
On the surface, his words “sound” good, but ring hollow for those who are truly seeking American values.
What about those who seek Justice? The family members of murdered Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry want justice from our government for the crime committed against him. Brian is considered “collateral damage” in the Fast and Furious scandal that the mainstream media is trying to push under the rug of secrecy. Our government is responsible for the death of Brian Terry and where is Justice for him?
What about those who sought to choose their leader through the civic duty of voting? Americans want to know why the Black Panthers were not prosecuted for doing wrong as they intimidated people FROM voting in the 2008 election. Pictures and videos proved they were guilty and justice was not served and no one was committed of this crime. Why?
Is this what Democracy looks like?
Just when I thought I had read enough, another headline caught my eye.
Occupy Orlando being led by the Muslim Brotherhood
The Muslim Brotherhood, really? Are these the same ones who are killing Christians in Egypt? That could never happen in America, could it? Read and watch the video from Occupy Orlando here:
http://theunitedwest.org/jihad-alert-is-the-muslim-brotherhood-dire...
Can we take anymore of these headlines? Shall we turn our head and pretend it isn't happening here? No is the answer.
The headlines are not for the weak but we are not weak. We are strong.
Americans are not like any other country on this planet. We will not allow occupiers, communists, decievers, liars or Islamic extremists to take our country -- our Republic -- down.
We will fight and we will win.
Here’s why.
Good wins over evil. Always has, always will. Evil can be recognized easily and it shows up in words of hate, lies, injustice, immorality, and deceit. Be wise and listen intently to the words of those who shout in the streets about "injustice" or "democracy." Remember these words of scripture from Matthew: "Be aware of wolves in sheep's clothing."
Good shows up in documents written on behalf of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. That is our foundation and that will be our resurrection too. Remind yourself of your rights as an American citizen and they can be found in the Bill of Rights. Look them up.
So fear not - America will rise again and she will rise up because you will rise up.
How do I know? Because the words of Isaiah 41:10 began replacing the headlines I had just read. Isaiah’s words “…do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you”
Protecting the Republic is not for the faint of heart but fear not, God is with us and He will lead the charge.
I think we'll end this blog with our song as a reminder to the greatness of America and the Republic for which she stands!

Amen...but let's not rush into that eternity.

Armando: Actually -- in the very end --- Good will win. It's already promised to us for those who believe and I do. So no matter what happens here now -- eternity will benefit the good ones who stood up and did all they could to protect freedom for all.

Mrs. Harrison I love the second quote it is one of my favorite lines from National Secret which is one of my favorite movies. V for Vendetta has the best political line of any movie ever "People shouldn't be afraid of their government governments should be afraid of their people"
We are all going to have to sacrifice the illusion of safety and the idea of the greatest good for the greatest number of people that have gone so far in ushering in the cause of collectivism.
Yes Pat you are right all laws should be based on the Constitution and nothing else. The legal term precedence has also gone a long way in changing the original meaning of the Constitution. That is why ever time a Supreme Court Judge comes up for election they talk about a strict Constitutionalist like it is a bad thing because they won't twist laws to fit their version of the Constitution.

May I offer the following quote and then ask the question of you all: Are you ready to sacrifice for the preservation and restoration of our Founding Father values? I pray so -- as I believe God divinely inspired our forefathers to bring into being a nation that respects the rights of the individual:
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.Thomas Jefferson
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson

I know you are right Armando. Sad but true. We must hope, they will not bring something we can't fight. I think this horrid man is capable of so much worse than what he has brought down on us at this point sadly. He truly should never have been elected and even those who put him where he is know that at this point.

"Good wins over evil. Always has, always will." Very encouranging words, Billie, but naive. Evil some times wins. Let's not forget that tiny bit of reality. The fight ahead will be tough. The Communists just mobilized in support of Obama, and we can expect unrest and, likely, violence as we get closer to the election. God may give us inspiration and strength to fight, but we, the people, must do the fighting.

Steve, mostly what these programs you talk about do, is teach people to BE dependent. Certainly the wall street group is a prime example of communism is real time!

Steve, how about we make all laws based on the constitution???? How about every amendment be based on the constitution??? They weren't and many thing OUR congress has passed are not constitutional period. They think they have a right to do that.........................they don't. And you, as a younger, upwardly mobil person will have to point this out to others who want to be what you want to be.............upwardly mobil!

We have allowed our generosity and goodwill to be used against us. Welfare is not about helping people it is about teaching people to be dependent on the state. Almost everything that government does now-a-day can be linked back to making us more dependent on them and you know what it has worked. Go to the freedom force international link I posted first thing this morning and read threw the site and you will find out how collectivism has seeped into all aspects of government and until it is expelled like poison from a wound our country will not heal.
You can pass all of the reforms you want to and it might slow it down but until the idea of collectivism is exposed for what it really is, a destroyer of liberty and freedom, passing reforms will not reverse the course we are on now. The idea of the individual needs to be expressed, taught, and promoted.
Almost anything can be twisted to make it seem like it is good for someone and somehow 'for the greater good' in some way but the only thing that is truly for the greater good of ALL is liberty.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
