Thomas Jefferson knew because he-himself studied the previous failed attempts at government.

He understood actual history, the nature of God, his laws and the nature of man. That happens to be way more than what most understand today. Jefferson really knew his stuff.

John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement: "This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

A voice from the past to lead us in the future:


When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe .

Thomas Jefferson


The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

Thomas Jefferson

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes.

A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.

Thomas Jefferson


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


My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.

Thomas Jefferson

No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.

Thomas Jefferson

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government

Thomas Jefferson

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Thomas Jefferson

To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies..

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”

I wish we could get this out to everyone!!!

Oh yeah, here is another quote, it is from Esop's Fabels, (a cartoon that caught my attention as a kid back in the 60's) "Sherman, set the way back machine to 1801"

Merry Christmas

I"M NOT ONLY HURT & MAD, I'm SENDING THIS OUT TO EVERYONE. PASS IT ON.

SHALL WE  HIRE A MONUMENT ENGRAVER TO GO TO ARLINGTON   NATIONAL CEMETERY AND ADD THE MISSING  WORDS?

THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM AN APPALLED OBSERVER:


Today I went to visit the new World War II Memorial in Washington , DC . I got an unexpected history lesson. Because I'm a baby boomer, I was one of the youngest in the crowd. Most were the age of my parents, Veterans of 'the greatest war,' with their families. It was a beautiful day, and people were smiling and happy to be there. Hundreds of us milled around the memorial, reading the inspiring words of Eisenhower and Truman that are engraved there.


On the Pacific side of the memorial, a group of us gathered to read the words President Roosevelt used to announce the attack on Pearl Harbor:

'Yesterday, December 7, 1941--a date which will live in infamy--the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked.'

One elderly woman read the words aloud:

'With confidence in our armed forces, with the abounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph.'

But as she read, she was suddenly turned angry. 'Wait a minute,' she said, 'they left out the end of the quote. They left out the most important part. Roosevelt ended the message with 'so help us God.'

Her husband said, 'You are probably right. We're not supposed to say things like that now.'

'I know I'm right,' she insisted. 'I remember the speech.' The two looked dismayed, shook their heads sadly and walked away.

Listening to their conversation, I thought to myself, 'Well, it has been over 50 years; she's probably forgotten.'

But she had not forgotten. She was right..

I went home and pulled out the book my book club is reading --- 'Flags of Our Fathers' by James Bradley. It's all about the battle at Iwo Jima .

I haven't gotten too far in the book. It's tough to read because it's a graphic description of the WWII battles in the Pacific.

But right there it was on page 58. Roosevelt 's speech to the nation ends in 'so help us God.'

The people who edited out that part of the speech when they engraved it on the memorial could have fooled me. I was born after the war! But they couldn't fool the people who were there. Roosevelt 's words are engraved on their hearts.

Now I ask: 'WHO GAVE THEM THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE WORDS OF HISTORY?????????'

Send this around to your friends. People need to know before everyone forgets.

People today are trying to change the history of America by leaving God out of it, but the truth is, God has been a part of this nation, since the beginning. He still wants to be...and He always will be!

If you agree, pass this on and God Bless YOU!

If not, May God Forgive You!

Military Approprieations Bill?

I shouldn't be doin this, but this Dream Act legislation today in the Senate on CSPAN 2 is outrageous!

When I heard the vote was to be broadcast live, I naturally had to tune in.

Watchin my senators, Russ Fiengold & Herb Kohl vote in favor of proceeding forward with this kind of "Oxymoronic" bill was truly a disappointing thing.

 I wrote to them the last time a military spending bill was passed with "Hate Crimes" added on. You think they heard my opinion? I don't! Something is wrong with Senators these days folks!

I feel the problem is in the flavor of the proverbial "Shit Sandwich" legislation since this administration took over! Every thing it does seems to be foreign! CZARS, for example, Where do you get off appointing a Czar?

America, we have been hi-jacked by globalist thinking elitists! Have you noticed the only thing censored is the Christian voice? The only Truth known to man is forbidden on our campuses,why is that? The bible tells us a time will come when the world will not tolerate the truth found there in. Read it at your own risk, counselors say to students, I think you might find a reward, now back to the subject, the ol' shit sandwich.

Shit sandwich legislation was the reason the military suffers! This legislation seemed to be a no brain er! All they needed was a recipe to follow.
Step 1, A nice slice of bread, ie.. pay raises, bullets, & body bags, Beer!
Step 2. Add the meat! (yup its a play on words) Get it?, Got it?, good! This step is the flavor of the sandwich, ie...Pro - homosexuality assault on life in the barracks!
Step 3, Now top if off with a nice slice of buttered bread, ie... the promise of fresh virgin recruits! (unfortunate for those lookin for citizenship, domestic partner assaults are on the rise)

There ya have it, the anatomy of this shit sandwich.

What's a Fella to Do?

When you can no longer ask grandma what was it really like back in the official "Great Depression", and you're wonderin how to survive the one America is headed for look at this before the grid goes out!

Spread the Knowlege

Dudes and Dudettes, I’m sending this to you because I feel it needs to be passed on before November. Please help me to enlighten the American people.

The Washington Post babbled again today about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush. Amazingly enough,a lot of people swallow this nonsense; so once more, a short civics lesson.

Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party. They controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009, as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011. In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.

For FY 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets.

And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009. Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period: (below)

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.

In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.

There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!

This is your chance to make a difference!
