Daddy, Where Were You in June, 2012?

Thank you, Sam.

About the snipes—I guess it comes with the territory.

I hope more Freepers will try to post original content-there is a lot of talent out there.

Let’s pray not just that Obama and his crew will be defeated and removed from office, but for repentance of Americans all over this land from this horrible sin of worshipping self and “doing right in their own eyes”, and that Americans would begin turning back to God. If our country had a serious revival and reformation, where people learned to think and reason Biblically, we would see such a change in every foundation of our society, including politics and government.

Agree fully about the need for revival.

America is at a crossroads—first fork in the road occurs tomorrow.

This website is a great resource. http://www.principleapproach.tv/

I’ve begun studying some of the books and methods they promote to try to understand how to teach some of this to my kids. As well as praying for revival, we must find ways to educate our youth in reasoning from Biblical principles. This is the way our colonial forefathers were taught and that is how they were able to establish the freedom and liberty that we still enjoy today. If we can’t do that, we will be continually living just on the edge of crisis.

A Republic If You Can Keep It: America’s Authentic Liberty Confronts Contemporary Counterfeits

http://www.facebookstore.net/product_p/arke-p.htm

Freepers. please pray today for Wisconsin.

This is the first of three events this month that will affect the entire nation for years to come.

Pray that the evil of the Democrats and unions will be overcome in a substantial way so that there is no doubt as to the wishes of the people.

Pray for a new birth of freedom in America.

Thank You , Lord, for the victory given to Gov. Walker and to the people of Wisconsin.

Thank You for not turning away from our wayward nation, but in Your mercy, seeing fit to give us another example of liberty, which comes from You.

We will not forget Thy goodness to us. Thank You. Amen.

Event No. 1 of 3 for June, 2012 is now history. A whole new dynamic in American politics starts tomorrow. We have hope to continue the restoration of America to greatness.

Event No. 2, the Arpaio press conference will take place in mid-June.

Event No. 3, the Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare, will take place by the end of June.

Freepers, be in prayer for these two events, as they will affect the fate of America.

God is not finished with the US yet, as He proved tonight.
Praise His holy name.

June, 2012 is turning into an incredible month for America and its future.

Event #1 was a stunning success on Tuesday night, thanks to the grace of God.

Events 2 and 3 are still to come this month.

Pray. Hard. The tide is turning.

Well, we are halfway through this momentous month.

We still await item 2 Sheriff Joe’s press conference, and he and Mark Zullo have submitted affadavits in the Florida eligibilty case, and are being subpoened to testify.

We also await item 3 which is the Supreme Court’s decision on Obamacare. This will come not later than June 29th, two Fridays from now.

Today we once again witnessed our ineligible President illegally executing an un-Consitutional order.

The gauntlet has been laid down.

We must not be summer patriots.

Pray hard always. Obama may want to transform America, but God still wants to use America.

As we have seen in the last 15 days, forces and events are converging against the man known as Barack Obama. The tide is turning.

Continue to pray for His guiding hand to preserve this great nation.

Since my last post to this thread on June 15th, we have witnessed amazing things.

The Attorney General of the United States has been held in contempt by Congress, the first Attorney General and first Cabinet Member ever to so held. His Justice Department is refusing to do their job according to their oath of office and prosecute the Attorney Gneral.

Item No. 2 of the three events—the Sheriff Joe Arpaio press conference on the President’s life documents has not been held yet, being rescheduled until July.

Item No. 3 of the three events-—the Supreme Court decison on Obamacare’s constutionality, became a reality yesterday, on June 28, 2012. the Court held that although the individual mandate could not be upheld under the Commerce Clause of the Necessary and Proper Clause, the penalty for not buying insurance was not a penalty as the people had been told—it was, in reality , a tax, and as such was under the authority of Congress to pass such a tax. This opinion cheered the Left and the Obama Administration, and totally floored the Right and Conservatives. No one can believe the Court acted in such a fashion to rewrite a law instead of judging whether it was Constitutional or not.The worst cut of all was the treachery of the Chief Justice John Roberts who completely twisted into a legal pretzel to uphold the law in one of the most convoluted perverse rulings ever in the Court’s history.

Now an epic battle is shaping up to repeal Obamacare.

Although Event No. 1—the vote in Wisconsin on June 5th— left us euphoric, the decision of the Chief Justice and the Court on Event No. 3—Obamacare-— knocked the winds out of our sails.

Event No. 2—the press conference of Obama’s document investigation is yet to be held.

Tomorrow, this momentous month in the history of America will end leaving us the following:

1. A victory for Scott Walker and the people of Wisconsin over union and special interests which would bankrupt the State.

2. A President issuing an amnesty for over 800,000 people who are not citizens, nor were born here under the 14th Amendment—a completely lawless act.

3. Another Supreme Court decision has allowed the President to completely take away any responsibility to protect one state of the Union-Arizona—refusing to uphold immigration laws or to enforce the border in that State, setting up a Constitutional crisis.

4. For the first time in our history, the Attorney General of the United States, a sitting Cabinet member has been held in contempt of Congress.The DOJ staff charged with pursuing the contempt citation have completely ignored their duty to prosecute on behalf of Congress and willingly and lunlawfully have refused to do so. Democrat legislators walked out of the vote in another photo op under the color racism to attempt to hamper any investigation of the Attorney General.

5. The Supreme Court has now given Congress an unlimited taxing power, even over INACTIVITY. Now we subjects and serfs can be taxed for NOT doing something. The Supreme Court failed to be the backstop over a tremendous overreach of Federal power. Even worse, they worked to rewite horribly bad legislation in order to “save” it. This level of treachery is unmatched in our history, as it directly affects every man, woman and child in the country.

6. The increasing lawlessness of the President and his entire Administration is creating a Consitutional crisis, the likes of which we have not seen in our lifetimes.

7. The future of America may very well come to rest on a press conference to be held by a Sheriff in Arizona wherein we can only hope he has the goods to reveal the fraud that is the man called Barack Obama.

Our beloved nation finds itself, on the eve of the 236th anniversary of its founding, in the grip of a lawless, inelgibile President, his corrupt Administration,a financial crisis, a listless economy, an unemployment rate of 16% in real terms, a Department of Justice that breaks the law with impunity, a Department of Homeland Security which refuses to protect the border of one particular State,and under the now legitimized Obamacare, which will ruin the finest healthcare system in the world.

We have been made serfs and subjects and failed utterly by all three branches of our government—Legislative, Executive and Judicial.

We labor under an illusion that we are free men and women, with unalienable rights given to us by God.

Now, more than ever, we must seek the help of the Divine Power to intercede and once again bestow the mantle of freedom to our nation. A long line of heroes who loved liberty more than life look upon us—they know this is our turn to preserve or to lose freedom.

They already did their part—we must do ours.

As we go into July, 2012, may God bless the United States of America.

Well, we are now three weeks into July, 2012.

Event # 2 happened on July 17, 2012. Sheriff Arpaio and Mike Zullo demonstrated that the birth certificate presented to the American people by President Obama is a forgery, even by the markings on the birth certificate itself. Events # 1 and # 3 have occurred and have been described i n previous posts.

As expected, the mainstream media has ignored the story. So has Congress, which is more concerned with going on a one month vacation than determining who Barack Obama really is.

But now all three events slated for June have taken place.

All three have contributed in making the election of 2012 the most important election in America since 1860,and to a lesser extent, in my opinion, 1980.

What has not changed is the need for all of us who love this land to continue to pray for America, that God would be merciful and not extend His hand against us for our many sins.

May free men and women throw off the chains of Obamaism on November 6th, and thus spare their posterity the chains of slavery in the future.

Update—December 5, 2012:

Even the last of the hopes we had for America were dashed on November 6th, Obama was re-elected by over 3 million votes, stunning all of on the Right.

We lost seats in the Senate, too.

We held the House, but that is scant comfort with Boehner at the helm. It is doubtful he will fight much.Obama already has him on the verge of tears, crying “Uncle!”

Well, it was not for lack of trying, or fighting, or praying.

God evidently has another plan for us, and part of it has to do with getting the government we deserve as a nation that has turned away from Him.

Our future could have been so different—but that is now lost forever. A darker future, fraught with uncertainty, is now ours, and we best be about preparing for it—whatever it may be.

May God bless America—still. And May He watch over all of us in the days ahead. These are indeed the times that try men’s souls.

Another 5 months have passed since the last update in early December, 2012—it is now May 3, 2013. I re-read this article and this thread, and my heart is heavy with thoughts of what might have been.

Since December, we have seen our Congress, our President and Vice President, and various Governors and State Legislatures try to unconstitutionally restrict the Second Amendment.

Economic storm clouds continue to gather on the horizon, reaching up into the upper atmosphere. Obamacare is cutting a swath through jobs and businesses, cutting them down like a McCormick reaper.

Gay marriage is making inroads in Democrat enclaves.

The country is slowly waking up to the scandal that is Benghazi.

The conscience of America has been seared by abortion, and is being confronted by the Gosnell trial.

Obama continues to appoint the most radical, anti-American zealots to his Cabinet and to high positions.

The Senate, barely stopped in its unconstitutional gun grab, now wants to give citizenship to 30 million illegals—a move which will forever alter the country, over the will of the people.

Like Gulliver, we strain against the ropes of the Democrat Lilliputians, who have captured America and brought her low.

It hardly feels like our country anymore. How could we have been so foolish to give away our birthright of liberty and freedom to such charlatans?

Our country needs those who would stand in the gap and ask God to be merciful to us once again.

Pray. Hard.

And may God hear, and relent of His sure and just judgment against our once great land.

Today is September 25, 2013.

16 months have passed since this article was written. Reading the responses is a reminder of what we ahve seen unfold, and the direction in which we are headed as a nation.

The increasingly lawless of the Obama regime assaults our senses every day, being more and more out of control.

A vietnam era traitor is now our Secretary of State, signing away our 2nd Amednment rights should the Senate agree.

But there are bright spots.

Folks like Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and others trying to get the GOP to be the opposition party they were voted in to be is a wonder to behold.

The House actually voted to defund Obabacare.

The year 2014 is looming as the final firewall for this great land.

If the Democrats prevail, the great experiment in liberty known as America will become history, and a drak age will descend upon us.

Will the people wake up and understand the time they live in? Will they stand for freebies or for freedom? Will they overturn 236 years of sacrifice to keep people here and around the globe free for worthless scraps of paper?

It is a time for choosing.

May we choose well.

Please God, may we choose well.

Today is June 22, 2014.

The Benghazi scandal is still with us.

The IRS scandal gets worse and worse but no one is held to account.

The President traded five Taliban commanders for Army deserter, and staged a White House Rose Garden announcement, wherein said deserter’s father gave praise to Allah in Arabic. How diverse.

The Southern border is a disaster, with the Obama Administration allowing so-called “unaccompanied minors” in without any lawful handling, and then transhipping them across the country.

Obama continues to issue executive orders like a king drunk on power. Why not—no one in Congress seems to have the courage to stop him.

And this coming last week of June, 2014 will probably see the Supreme Court, in a flurry of last minute decisions, continue to wreak havoc on our traditions, laws and heritage. Maybe John Roberts will then go on vacation to Malta like he did after the Obamacare debacle two years ago.

Has our land ever been in such mortal danger?

Throughout our history we have faced foes from without, both large and small. and prevailed. We even survived a horrific civil war.

But how can we survive the traitors within?

That remains to be seen, and will be a test of our resolve and our service to our posterity, as others before have done.

This is posted only to document the despair I feel fr my country at this hour. I pray that God will not remove His hand of protection from us.

Well, my historical self, today is June 26, 2015.

As I reread this thread, it was evident that I could not foresee the depths to which my beloved nation would sink under the weight of tyranny.

If I thought things were bad at the end of June, 2012, well, they are infinitely worse at the end of June, 2015.

The Supreme Court has once again invented rights and rewritten law out of thin air, even dissolving the very definition of marriage, a construct instituted by God Himself, upheld by Jesus Christ when He was here on Earth, and which has withstood all manner of kings, emperors, and tyrants to become universally understood to be a covenant between one man and one woman for over 5,000 years.

That is, until today.

In a land founded on Biblical principles by men who believed the Holy Scriptures, or at least, in a Divine Providence, the eternal definition has been overturned by fiat by five un-elected masters in black robes.

It remains to be seen what will happen next. The Supreme Court rulings of today and yesterday on Obamacare and gay marriage, in which the Supreme Court created law where none before existed, has put this nation on a collision course with itself.

The entire traditional concepts of religious freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of association—all will now be assaulted by Leftists to make everyone forcibly agree to their world vision.

Who will stand up against this tide of evil?

The whole of Ezekiel Chapter 22 comes to mind, especially verses 30 and 31 at the end:

30 “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one. 31 So I will pour out my wrath on them and consume them with my fiery anger, bringing down on their own heads all they have done, declares the Sovereign Lord.”

If God would not spare the judgment against His own people, how could America think it will escape His wrath?

There is no question that things are about get very ugly.

I have lived over six decades in peace and freedom, without want or fear, in America.What a gift I was given!

The promise of liberty, of rights endowed by my Creator and not allowed me by any government, the right to pursue the life ordained for me by Almighty God—for these things I must now contend.

I cannot deny my Lord, or His word, no matter the cost.

As Martin Luther said “Here I stand, I can do no other,so help me God, amen.”

May we be found standing in the gap for our Lord, for our families, for America and for liberty and justice.

And may God be pleased to show us mercy instead of judgment.

Future self, remember, God will not leave you nor forsake you.

Also similarly used by Clint Eastwood in Josey Wales, by Two Bears.

Ten Bears: These things you say we will have, we already have.
Josey Wales: That’s true. I ain’t promising you nothing extra. I’m just giving you life and you’re giving me life. And I’m saying that men can live together without butchering one another.
Ten Bears: It’s sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life.

Thank you for your reply, and the quote from Josey Wales.

I keep this thread alive to document the fall from power of America, and my journey into cynicism.

There was a time I thought we could right the ship of state.

Now,after last week and the disastrous and unlawful Supreme Court decisions, I am looking for the lifejacket.

I no longer have hope in the GOP.

I have hope in Americans, but I now realize that any trajectory back to greatness will be filled with pain, heartache and sacrifice on a very large scale.

A pox on all those in DC who betrayed us for their thirty pieces of silver.

I look around, and like Ezekiel relates God saying, I found no man willing to stand in the gap for the nation, to rebuild the wall.

It is very difficult to watch what is happening.
