I am an American Patriot.
I believe in Liberty and Justice for all. I'm also a modern American militiaman. I'm a pro-American nationalist, anti-UN, and most important I am a Christian. Visit and learn; the Truth will set you FREE.
What's the patriot movement? It's the civil rights movement of the 21st Century. People of all walks of life: Black, white, American Indian, Hispanic; old and young, East and West, are patriots. Patriots belong to diverse political affiliations; different churches; we're scattered all over this great nation... We're everywhere...
You see, our movement is actually a vast outreach of dedicated, smart, hardworking activists. We are property rights activists; Second Amendment defenders; parentally-controlled-education proponents; free enterprise advocates; tax honesty activists; family autonomy champions; personal privacy protectors; guardians of American independence & sovereignty; conservatives; libertarians and Christians.
Patriots also get involved in their communities; church and youth programs, civic organizations and so forth... It is all done in the name of freedom! ...but freedom has its price. That price is eternal viglance and the willingness to DEFEND it against all enemies foreign & domestic.
For maintaining my integrity, principles, and faith, sometimes patriots like me are called ugly names like 'extremist', 'right-wing whacko', 'radical', and so on. Guess what - I dont care! I'd rather be right and in the minority than "P.C."... Opposing tyranny as an American patriot is one of the most politically incorrect things I can think of, and that ticks off the Establishment!
So just what exactly is a "Patriot"?
To some people, including liberals, being a patriot means waving a flag, paying your taxes, doing what you are told, and conforming to society (following the herd). However, there is something basically wrong with society today, changes occurring in the USA that are in fact 'very scary'. There are things about our society, our government, and the world that is anti-freedom. Our Constitution stands for freedom, and Teddy Roosevelt defined patriotism well when he said 'Patriotism is standing by the country' (the Constitution). We should only support those leaders who support the constitution, and support them only to the degree to which they support the Constitution! It is the law of the land.
ON "DEMOCRACY":
Don't believe the media prostitutes or the politicians when they refer to our nation as a "democracy"... NO, NO, NO!! It's a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. See Old Ben's quote below about democracy. See my quotes pages for more enlightening quotes of both our founding fathers and those who are enemies of Liberty.
ON "GUN CONTROL":
One of my biggest pet peeves is gun control. The Nazis would not have been able to commit genocide and kill over 6 million Jews if those Jews had been armed. But they (and most other Germans) had a strong mentality of obedience, and abiding by the law (no matter how wrong the law is). As a result, by the time Hitler came to power there was no one to stop him. What does that have to do with today?? Today federal gun laws mirror the Nazi gun laws from almost 75 years ago. Think about that - - US law is emulating Nazi law!!! Background information at http://www.jpfo.org
SPEAKING OF NAZI POLICE STATES...
I knew an old german fellow named Hans, my dad had made friends with him some years ago when I was a kid. He was talking about how the USA was becoming more and more like Nazi Germany - and he was a concentration camp survivor! He explained (this was in the 1970's - over 25 years ago) what he was seeing in the USA that made him think this was so. It changed my dad's way of thinking, rather drastically, since my dad was a cop!! Of course, being an impressionable child, I always remembered what Hans had said. After all, he lived through it once, had lost his first wife to the Nazis. His wife since then was also a survivor of the same concentration camp (Dachau, I think). As I got older, I became involved in the modern patriot movement, and realized the full extent of what the old man, Hans, was talking about. I realized that this country had in fact been on a slide towards tyranny for several decades, starting back in 1933, to be exact. That was when FDR (our first socialist president) and Congress passed the Banking Emergency Act of 1933 (in March of that year). It included an unconstitutional provision that made use of key language of the 1917 "Trading With the Enemy Act" that made the American people themselves the "enemy" of the government!
I love my country, I really and truly do. I love it because we have something no one else in the world has - freedom. "Freedom is the state of exemption from the power or control of another." (Noah Webster 1828) Simply put, Liberty is the right; Freedom is the exercise of that right. Both of these items come from, as Jefferson wrote in the first paragraph of the Unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, the "Laws of Nature and Nature's God." Both of these are absolutely essential for there to be any real meaning to "the pursuit of Happiness." Pursuing happiness is what life is all about. I'd rather die than be deprived of my ability to pursue happiness, because what good is living if you are miserable?? There are those who would deprive us of our Freedom. People who unfortunately, happen to be running this country, and not just Bill Clinton. I'm not even going to quote Al Gore because he called for global genocidal population reduction in his book, "Earth in the Balance", a book that he still stands by, the book that inspired the Unabomber!
Americans should be at least a little scared. These people whom I mentioned above are running the show! Worse yet, they control the electoral process, we can't get them out. So people then need to move beyond scared and GET ANGRY. This should motivate them to say, "enough is enough!" and so "No!" to this New World Order (Their term, not mine). But on the other hand, I am not saying people should live in fear. I believe people are created in the image of God, and didn't Christ tell his apostles on many occasions, "Fear not, for I am with you"?? If we have faith, there is no need for fear.
The problem is, most people are too inert to give a damn. You have to shake them, rock them, rattle them out of their mass-media induced stupor! Too many Americans come home from work to glue their snouts to the "boob tube" TV, rather than assume their responsibilities as citizens in their communities, their state, and the nation. Christ said, "I wish thou were either hot or cold, but because thou are lukewarm, I shall spew thee out.." Lukewarm represents being too comfortable, as though asleep. Hence the phrase, "On fire for Christ". We need to be motivated or at least uncomfortable (cold), but never - NEVER - complacent. Complacency KILLS. Just ask any one of those 6 million Jews (oops, that won't work, they're all dead)...
Get it??
You see, the reason why I am like this is because I suffer from an affliction that comes from having come too close to the Liberty Bell. Unlike most kids nowadays, I was raised with solid Christian-American values. I was 7 years old in 1976, so I was raised on a diet of patriotism (both the liberal, touchy-feely inconsequential kind and well as the more meaningful kind of patriotism of our Founding Fathers). I've grown up, lived and believed in the kind of nation that George Washington & Co. WANTED this country to be! When one compares that to what this nation is now, I judge it and find it lacking! I'll close this with a quote from 'Old Ben':
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759
Long Live the Republic! Death to the New World Order! We shall prevail.
