I apoligize for the length but a great discovery for me today.... Have you ever read the 'Federalists Papers'?
Let me tell you I've been reading just some of the quotes from them...as well as quotes made "during" the Constitutional Convention by our founders and others..... I'm convinced beyond doubt when Jim says 'Rebellion Is In The Air...he knows what he's talking about... I now know what he's standing on in saying that. Stunningly so!
It's one thing for we Americans to gripe and groan about our politicians....it's quite another when you "see" that the "Power Of The People" is God given to rebel... when all other avenues have been extended to politicians and they continue to be corrupt etc...and our founding fathers understood they were servants to the people and responsible to them.
I'm truly stunned after reading the Federalists Papers and the many speech quotes from our founders, which so many we do not hear repeated as much as others. It's all the others which create a uniform picture of who these great men were and how humble before God they were....and most of all their utter respect for the people and the offices of governances which would be held. Amazingly so.
I am now truly of the mind that few if that of our elected officials understand or have read these. Had they they would be shaking in their shoes about now....and should.
Thank you for asking that question...."What would our Founders Do".....it lead me to investigate what really would they do.....and I found my answers.
For me, standing up to the tyranny that now besets us, is more than just lofty rhetoric. I can trace my direct lineage back to an American who fired at the British in anger during the Revolutionary War.
Since his time, a lot of my fathers have shed blood, or have sacrificed greatly to stand guard over this fragile republic. What sort of son would I be if I meekly accepted the left’s terms of surrender in my day? I’m not standing in harm’s way with a rifle in my hand, like so many of them did.
No - I’m armed with only a ballot, by whose markings my fathers shall judge me. I would not even think of sullying their honor by giving my solemn vote to a man and a party, who have essentially gone into abject Treason against the very things my forefathers fought and bled for.
