Hold onto Virtues

faith

hope 

charity 

fortitude 

justice 

temperance 

prudence

The seven virtues are words to live by especially in todays world. We need to study, understand, and apply these seven powerful and sometime difficult words to our life.  I think most of the virtues have be long forgotten and some still apply today but for the most part, forgotten. 

The challenge to living the virtues are people do not  believe in them, except when it works with their agenda.  

Know them, understand them, and practice them.

The Virtues defined

The Agenda

The United States has been a country of a wide variety of political opinions and in someway its a good thing, until that opinion goes against the US Constitution. I'm not an expert in all the details of this important US document. But there is a movement to completely change or even do away with the freedoms we have been given.

As people are migrating here from their oppressed countries to become American citizens only to see in the news of people born here trying to destroy it. I believe those who are on a mission for the destruction of this nation should leave if they are not happy here.

In my lifetime I have never seen so much hate internally for the US, to the point if you disagree with something you just eliminate it and implement the opposite - no discussion. 

How do we fight this changing of America? We do it by staying informed, filtering the good and bad news, checking and validating sources of information, staying involved in the conservative movement. You should know who represents you at a county, state, and federal level. Do not let the progressives replace the Constitution with their ever changing agenda.

Faith should be in Government

In some countries these two words would not exist in the same sentence, but in the United States it does and has since the beginning. But in the recent years there has been a push to eliminate any connection to God, faith, or religion within our government and this goes from the federal level down to the counties.

Why?

I believe there are a couple of reasons.  The progressives have a larger presence within the media and they are effective in manipulating words to convince the public of their agenda. The broadcast of the anti-God statements within the government sounds to the general public that its wrong, statements like separation of church and state.  The real intent of this statement is for the government to not interfere with religion, not religion interfering with the government.

Our country was founded on the Judo-Christian values. 

Some examples:

• God is mention in our founding documents

• A Bible is use when a newly elected President is sworn into office 

• On are currency the words "In God We Trust"

• A prayer is usually said before meetings

So, with all of this said, I/we conservatives should demand that the faith and value we have established continue to be a part of the governmental processes, because once its gone, its gone forever.  

Happy 4th of July

 

Happy 4th of July !!

The Third

 The 3rd of July, the day before the United States greatest celebration of our country.  

I was watching the news this morning and a reporter was talking about John Adams and a letter her wrote to his wife on the 3rd of July.  

Here is an excerpt from that letter:

I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with4 Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.

You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not.—I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States.—Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will triumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not.

These words of wisdom apply today just as they did in 1776.

God Bless America
