On this special day for America, I want everybody to ponder what has made America so great.  No other democracy has worked for so many years.  I am sorry this younger generation will never know the great role models we had in Hollywood years ago.  They cared about the kids and what image they were portraying to them.  There are too many to mention.  Roy Rogers had a chance to play a drunken cowboy once but refused because he was primarily concerned with the kids rather than his pocketbook, and that they might copy him.  John Wayne and many other always tried to always give the cowboy a good name.

Please enjoy this tribute to the American cowboy and their patriotism.  I hope everyone clicks on “America’s Christian Heritage, and reads it, especially the African American community to whom most do not know their Christian heritage that belongs only to them.

Have a great 4th of July!! 

When you ask the question, how do we rebuild America, we must ask the question, what kind of America do we want?  To answer this question accurately, you must be an informed voter because the people in charge of America are the ones you put there.  Most people I have talked to on the street don’t truly know the difference between a Republican and a Democrat.  This is serious because they have two completely different philosophies on what direction the country should go.
 
So, how do we as individuals get started?  First, make a list of what you want to see changed and compare.  Do you like Socialism better than Democracy?  Do you like government intrusion in your life?  What about the banking industry?  Social issues?  Tax issues? Privacy issues?
 
Next, learn the difference in the philosophies of Republicans and Democrats and check ou the voting records of your state and Federal congress men and women..  Remember–the bigger the government, the more taxes you will pay.  Reshaping America is your responsiblity–if you love your freedom enough to fight for it.

I have observed, when it comes to decision making, there are two types of politicians–those making decisions based on what is right and what is wrong and those making decisions based on who is right, and who is wrong.  Which category of politicians do you want running the country?
 
The first group wieghs and measures things first.  They always get two sides to the story and put everything together to come to a decision.  They search for the truth.
 
The second group doesn’t  care about the truth.  It is all about what benefits them.
 
So, how can you tell the difference?  First, when listening to them, do they use a lot of platitudes to play on your feelings, or do they substantiate what they say with facts?  Do they give their sources?  Do you make decisions based on your feelings or do you base them on fact?
 
I have also noticed the second group teaches people to hate with hate speech.  They don’t care if what they say is true, it is all about them, not you.  Do you really believe these people care about you?
 
So, next time you go to the polls, be an informed voter.  Learn the facts behind each candidate. What is their voting record?  How does it correlate with your vision for the country, or do you even have a vision?  This country is your responsibility–if you care about your freedom.

The constitution is under attack when you get an oligarchy within the judicial system.  An oligarchy is a government ruled by a few. How does this happen and why?
 
First you have to understand politically what we mean when we say left-wing or right-wing.  Left wing refers to your liberal politicans who want to change things.  Right-wing refers to your conservative politicans who want to keep the constitution as it is.  It was common knowledge in the 1960’s that your left-wing extremists were the communist sympathizers.  Oswald, who killed President Kennedy was referred to a left-wing extremist.  The FBI went after them and jailed them.  Now left-wing extremists are accepted.
 
So what does this have to do with our judicial system?  If you can get enough judges in place that don’t rule according to the Constitution, but according to how they want to change the country to conform to the New World Order you hear about on the news, the Constitution is under attack.  When it is no longer the law of the land, the oligarchy of judges become the new law of the land.  This is why it is careful who you elect as your President and Governor.  They determine whether you have strict interpreters of the Constitution, or those who will mold it to fit a new mold.
 
It all comes down to being an informed voter.  Know what the voting records of your congressmen and women are.  Don’t let politicians play on your feelings with platitudes and empty words with no facts to back them up.  Those with good critical thinking skills know that decisions are to be based not on who is right and who is wrong.  Rather, decisions are to be based on what is right and what is wrong.

I AM THE AMERICAN FLAG
I am the American flag and I wish to speak to all members of my country who are anxious, fearful, angry, hurt, and worried. I will speak from the wisdom of a long life.  I have travelled far, across continents, oceans, deserts.
 
I was in the hand of my first President in the blood and snow of Valley Forge.  I was there when my  nation was born.  I was there to see those who died for my right to speak in freedom and I fly proudly over their green graves.
 
I wish to break my long silence and I shall speak. LISTEN!!
 
I say, be proud of your country.  There is so much about her that is beautiful, compassionate, tender, powerful, yet gentle.  I have been strained, torn, spit upon and defiled by my detractors for over two hundred years, still, I am proud of my country inspite of all her sins, and they are many.
 
Be humble!! the high cost of freedom is commitment to God and to the self-disciple that such a commitment, if sincere, will demand.  Know that without God, my stars will be overclouded, my stripes will fade, my glory will depart, and your freedoms will erode and die.

 I am the American flag and I wish to speak.  Look now at the sins that still remain and settle for nothing less than a deep cleansing.  I need not tell you what you are doing is wrong.  Deep down in your heart you know it!
 
Be humble enought to know where your glory and greatness come from.  “Old Glory,” I am called.  What is my glory?  My glory is the freedom that I give to every law respecting man, woman, and child.
 
But mark this and mark it well–FREEDOM DEPENDS ON MORALITY.
 
The Ten commandments, the Sermon on the Mount, and the Word of God are the foundation stones of time-tested morality.  Remove these foundations and suffer future shock, loss of freedom.  So, if my people depart from the virtues of God, they will find their freedom fading.
 
I am the American Flag.  I am your flag.  I am the flag of freedom.  I live in the hearts of all men who yearn for freedom to laugh, to love, to pray to, and play.
 
I say to my people–be proud, be humble, and be renewed.  Renew your faith in God.  Renew your pledge to follow His Holy Word.  We stand today on the threshold of a new day, a new era, a new age.  Do you feel it?  Rise up and make your country and your world great!
