Weekend Edition: I WILL STAND UP!!!!

Our Declaration of Independence, one of the greatest documents ever written, ends with these words:

“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”

Those words, which should ring in the ears of every American are followed by 56 signatures.

Each man who affixed his name on that Declaration believed in those words and each did indeed pledge to each other their Lives, their Fortunes and their sacred Honor.

Do you think THEY…”Stood Down?”

Emphatically…They did NOT!

Did the Patriots who fought and died for the idea behind that document…”Stand Down?”

NO THEY DID NOT.

In the ice and snow of Valley Forge…Did Washington…”Stand Down?”

No.

In the years after the war of revolution, when called upon to pen the Constitution, did James Madison “Stand Down?”

No. No he did not.

In the War of 1812, when things looked darkest and the British was sacking the White House…Who “Stood Down?”

No one. In fact, Dolley Madison took the portrait of Washington from the wall and saved it…for the NEW White House.

In the quest to put an end to slavery, did Lincoln “Stand Down?”

The burden of the war between the states was great but, no…NO HE DID NOT “stand Down.”

Our country is FULL of people who never “Stood Down” and it always has been. From those who, with an idea and firm resolve gave birth to this great nation, fought for it, died for it and settled it to those who built it, powered it, explored it and added to it.

Did those who came here from lands far away, who felt free upon seeing Lady Liberty and who learned the language and our culture to make a better life for themselves, their children and their children’s children “Stand Down?”

Certainly not.

His advisers told him not to say it, they told him not to use the line in his speech. It was too forceful they told him…It would be upsetting.

Did Ronald Reagan “Stand Down?”

“Stand DOWN???”

No…Ronald Reagan Stood UP at the Brandenburg Gate.

He STOOD UP at the Brandenburg Gate…..

“Mr. Gorbachev…TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!”

Standing up. That’s what we do. We stand UP when our nation is threatened. We Stand UP, when freedom is threatened. We STAND UP when against tyranny and those who mean us harm.

WE STAND UP!!!!!

  1. I STAND WITH YOU! I Fight for Destruction and for all that is good. I have no fear as I am not alone. I was given a calling many years ago from the Father. HE made it clear that I would have a lot of hard times and a lot of heartache. I, like anyone else would, asked, why me? I thought maybe I had done something really wrong. HE let it be known that my family had always been Faithful. I can tell you why people are on their knees when praying – because the Father puts you there. the POWER is beyond words. I was also given the impression there were 3 times or 3 something. I can tell you, I was less concerned about the heartache than I was about the consequences of success. The heartache did start, and I was hospitalized on Good Friday, and again on Memorial Day and finally on July 4th about 1986 in Tennessee. Since that time, my life has pretty much been quiet – in fact, I met my husband which, no doubt, was meant to be. We met on a cruise ship off the coast of Puerto Rico.

    I have been an avid Patriot for some time – in fact, I have a bedroom that was decorated like 1940’s American. I got a military uniform, used some old prints on the wall, antiques, and did a lot in Red, White and Blue. I wanted to make it look like it was the bedroom of a man coming home from WWII.

    I have voted every Presidential Election. The very first time I voted was November 7, 1972. The reason I remember that date so well is because it was my Birthday and the very first year that 18 year old’s were given the right to vote. I voted sometimes Republican, sometimes Democrat. I did not register with any particular Party as I voted for the candidate.

    Since I retired from the IRS, I have been selling regularly on Ebay to supplement funds. This year, I decided I wanted to create some original, designs for the Veterans and Armed Forces. While I was doing my research – I wanted to know exactly how many people died or were wounded in our pursuit or defense of Freedom – I stumbled across the Democratic Socialists of America Webpage. I was shocked to find Obama’s picture – bigger than life on it. It listed the groups that were included in this group – Socialists, Communists, Marxists and Progressives. Pelosi was actually was chairman or held some other office. There was also a listing of about 100 people that were members of Congress. I read on to find that they supported Obama in 2008, and some of their philosophies. I was stunned, and subsequently sick for the next week – completely overwhelmed. The Truth hit me hard. From there, I started doing more research – to make sure this was accurate. I put together an email detailing everything and with all the documents I found that supported it. I sent it forward as far as it would go – including a lot of retired and current military personnel. I sent it to newscasters and television shows, Fox, etc. I sent it to the Republican leaders, the GOP, everywhere I could think. Family members, friends, etc all got a copy with a request to share it ASAP. There is no doubt in my mind that what I was not taken seriously as it could not possibly be true – never in our Nation’s history have we elected a Communist or some other organization like this. In fact, this Country had a problem with Communists and were black-balled for jobs, etc, but you know this. That email did not create the response I wanted. So, I decided on a couple of other options. I finished the Veteran’s shirts and created one called “Freedom.” I also started contacting different groups – primarily those that sang Country and/or Gospel.

    In order to change a culture, you need arts and music. I needed to remind people that we were Americans with a good and fruitful heritage. And, I did stumble into a couple of musicians that were all about America. The first two were Ansel Brown that sang “Country” and Marc Wildman that sang about the Soldier. Both of these guys donated that music to the Veterans and those that loved America – and Freedom. They downloaded it on my Facebook page and the Veterans got it from there. I started making more and more contacts with the veterans and since the shirts certainly weren’t going over well, I started to donate them. Since they were from an “inspiration,” it was probably designed as a gift. I could not compete with Walmart’s brand of Patriotism – Chinese US Flag shirts, etc. for $4-5 dollars. Mine were silk-screened – designed for the best military in the World. I am not sure China can make a Patriotic shirt. Anyway, I have been sending them all over the US. I also purchased a logo and signed with a website provider – (www.usaamericanhome.com) which is not yet complete. My third T-Shirt was to be Lady Liberty – a woman’s Patriotic shirt. Design is almost complete. Between selling on Ebay, politics, veterans, spreading the Word, I had no time to devote to the things I wanted to do. I was just about on call 24 hours. If I woke up in the middle of the night, I went to Facebook and sure enough there would be someone there that either needed assistance or somebody else that I was suppose to connect with.

    Using Facebook, I could kind of tell what was going on around the Country. I also would consistently run into people that were there to join this “Path of Freedom.” Although I was acquiring interest and support, it was just not enough to save my America. So, I decided basically, that I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. I am 57 years old and have had a good life although it had been filled with strife and heartache, but I also saw quite a few miracles along the way too. All that misery created strength. I asked the Father to take my life and keep this Country free.

    The next few days are kind of foggy. The first thing I remember was a man, counselor of some sort, perhaps a minister – Rob. He would ask questions and I would ask questions, but I am not sure either one of us understood much. There was another man – Daniel – he was a veteran and, ultimately, I would also meet Clarice – she has a non-profit organization – “Stand on the Rock” on Facebook. Daniel was located on “The Real American Heroes.” Also, I would tie-up to a man that has a non-profit for Capitalism and Freedom – I think his name is Jim. I witnessed to them. After a bit, I didn’t hear from either of them and when I wrote, they didn’t respond. I know that there was something they were questioning about me. Anyway, after I didn’t receive a response, I wrote to Daniel and told him that there were some people that believed that Judas betrayed Christ to make him stronger for what was ahead. I heard from Daniel immediately – he asked how – and I told him I had an abusive husband for a bit. Then, I became the “real thing” so to speak. I started receiving a lot of “unusual” type responses from around the globe. A man from Israel was the first and he offered me a red rose. India and New Guinea sent some kind of comment and I acquired a friend from Germany and others from Austria. Of course, Facebook was flooded with people trying to get you to join them for the sake of “peace” with one world power and religion, etc. That was not going to happen – no way.

    Not so long after – August or so of this year, I started being so tired and feeling a bit “icky.” It seemed like I never slept. I would go to bed and sleep and wake up the next morning exhausted. It was actually one my medical doctors that put a name to it. She said it was a “Spiritual War,” but she did not want to talk about it. It made perfect sense to me. My guess is that there were quite a few people involved – even if they did not know it. It also may not have only been in the US either – it might have been World Wide. Anyway, my exhaustion had not lifted – my guess it had been 5-6 days or so. Anyway, at one point, I felt really, really sick – like I was dying – if you can imagine. So, I recognized it was not going well, and then I thought of my Brother for some reason. He went to LSU. I quickly got on the computer and called up uTube and started listening to “Eye of the Tiger” which they played at LSU football games. It did not take much longer and I started feeling a lot better. Not long after that, it was all over. I was so tired as I am sure the others were too. It would take us all 3-4 days to kind of come back around. People started trickling back into my Facebook. I am thinking we were in some kind of a spiritual world – that is all I can figure. It is also true that sometimes, particularly when I write, I kind of go into a wee bit of a “trance.” It may have been over as far as Good overcoming Evil, but the hard work was ahead of us. It was close – too close. It took all of what we all had plus whatever else we could find and more. My guess is that every single ounce of strength was expended. Because this has occurred, I expect a “Power Change.” I was partially involved when President Carter lost this job.

    What we all do now is designed to “Make a Better World” and specifically for the US. So, I have been running around websites saying “I fight Destruction and for all that is good. I have no fear as I am not alone.” Now you would think that would be problem for a lot of liberal type people, but it is not. And, when I say, “HE IS” again I have no problem. I ask people to “Stand-Up.” I tell them I am standing – come stand with me. I tell them about the Democratic Socialists of America, I tell them a history of America when the colonists tried a commune and many died from starvation. I tell them that when they parceled out the land per family, some people started to acquire more food. I tell them that Socialism, Communism, Marxism do not work. I tell them that Capitalism is not perfect, but it is the best thing we got going. I tell them that liberty is the reason for our exceptional success. I tell them that this Freedom is Spiritual and it was given to us by the Father and no government or man can take it away – unless we let them. I tell them that Americans don’t quit, they dig their heals in and try it again, and again, until we get it right.

    One other part of the story that needs to be told. You probably remember when Obama and Hillary were spending a lot of time with the UN and Gun Control. There was to be some kind of agreement that they intended to sign. Of course, this upset the 2nd Amendment folks terribly. That group is very, very sensitive about gun rights and they should be as the time may come that it is the gun rights that prevent tyranny. Well, shortly thereafter – a day or two, I was contacted by a member of my immediate circle. There was a man on his site that stated that his city and others had troop trucks and armored support vehicles, and what was he suppose to do. I thought about it, thought of Communism and fear and Obama. I told him that unless they attacked you or your family, or tried to take your guns away, don’t do anything – go about your days as if they were not there. Ignore them, do not do anything to antagonize them. If they assaulted, gun them down. Amazingly enough, there was not a single shot that ran out that night. Now, I don’t know if the guy that relayed it was forthright and it is actual fact. I do know that one of my people relayed it to me and that would be fact. But, with the timing being what it was, I find it quite curious Obama would choose to take some troops into the cities. Well, needless to say, the gun vote was put off as he said that “we were not quite ready” – ready for what? Personally, I think he wanted somebody to fire – that way maybe he could get marshal law into place. Is this what Communists would do – yes.

    So, where we are at right now. I have been going from site to site indicating that we really can’t blame those that voted from him or will note for him. I have called him a magician and no matter how closely you watch his hands, you never see the trick. I have indicated that evil comes in all forms and shapes. I have told them they we are all Americans in the same boat and we are all going to have to row.

    Of course, the objective here is to prevent as much problems as possible when Obama looses. I would expect rioting, etc. And, maybe Obama won’t loose the election until they have several counts on the votes, etc. I really want him to resign – for the sake of the Nation. But, you and I both know he won’t do that because he really does not like this Country. He does, however want the power and perhaps, the power in the UN. This is a very bad man.

    What we have to do is create a common enemy – it will bring the people back together as one Nation. I have been writing little blurbs for Conservative Candidates and I am also going into Politico and Huffington Press. I know I can’t change the management, but I can help, perhaps some of the bloggers. And, I can keep repeating it and repeating it. I can also make them aware that the Father has His Foot Soldiers on the ground. I also request prayer. Our religious background is generally a uniting force.

    I have helped to start the ball rolling and the sparks going and I will continue to do that based on the information I see on the websites. The “sparks” idea comes from a Christian camp song – “It only takes a spark to get a fire going, and then all those around can warm up in its glowing, That’s how it is with God’s Love – once you have experienced it ….”

    I am not a nut, a religious zealot, not a preacher with a congregation. I am very middle-of-the-road person. I am the farmer’s daughter, reared on the farm for many years where thrift was a way of life and meals could not be eaten until grace was completed. I am also the “girl next door.” I have not marched in any protests and have never been arrested. I’ve made no bombs. I was part of the 1960’s, but probably conservative then. There is no mental illness in my family. I am not Jesus, God or any other entity. I am a person that Loves this Country and have been doing everything I can think of to change the path. I have contacted Harley Davidson for a Freedom Ride, Hallmark for a Veteran’s Day Card. I have shipped boxes and boxes of shirts to our veterans. I have even written for many of them. I have taken phone calls from the veterans as well as many others. I have assisted many Republican candidates with editorials and blurbs. I have laid into Congress, over and over again. I have even addressed the President a couple of times – initially I tried to help him with the heritage issue. But, I will not accept a form of government without Freedom. For all those that died protecting and defending it, just how do you think their families would feel? No, Obama’s America is not mine and with the help of the Father, there will be no Obama’s America.

    FYI – I use to work at Litton Industries where we helped to build Destroyers and LHA’s (Land Amphibious Assault ships – or something like that). I excelled and was ultimately given Top Secret Military Clearance by the FBI.

    I know this is a long comment and it sounds kind of crazy, I agree with you. However, the Father is around. What we, my group says, “The Father is Always On Time.”

    Good luck to you in your endeavor – keep the car between the lines. If you need me, contact me. Let us both bring this Country back together. My dream is an American Renaissance – complete with Art, Music, New Products – Only the Best. I want this Country to Bloom like it never has before — that is my Dream.

  2. I, along with many others, stood up at Hue, Duc To, Duc Pho, Danang, and places that cannot be recalled, while Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn plotted to kill Americans on American soil. They are now advisers to the punk in the White House.
    My Uncles stood up in Germany and Guadalcanal. I’m still standing carryin’ signs saying hooray for my side, and handing out brochures that suggest whom to vote for. All the while a pampered punk lives high on the hog at my expense, and – for the first time in history – left American men to die on the field of battle.
    The saddest part of all this is yet to come. Some people will vote for the pampered punk to continue his destruction of our once great Republic. Peace, Robert Walkere

  3. I am very proud of all the patriotic people who stand up for justice, liberty, freedom and our capitalistic American ways of doing business. We do not need a government in control of us, but just to protect our treasury and our country. We need government out of our health care, out of education, out of our businesses and out of our personal lives. Government this monstrous is something evil, like Obama, who has grown it more than any president in our lifetimes!

  4. I am standing up, and applauding! When my oldest daughter was about 4 years old, she was sitting in the back seat of my friends car, as we were preparing to leave. The radio was on and the Star Spangled Banner came on the radio. She leapt to her feet and put her hand over her heart and said “That just makes me want to STAND UP!”. Even a child knows when to stand up, if they have been taught about love of God and country!

    I will pass this on Craig, God bless you, and continue to give you words to speak and give America ears to hear!

  5. Thank you Craig for printing what we all need to hear and share with everyone. You are a true Patriot and again thank you for the food for thought
