Donald Trump: 'I Could ... Shoot Somebody, And I Wouldn't Lose Any Voters'. His statement made on January 23, 2016 5:00 PM ET
The president actually does believe that he is above the Law. He opened up the People's White House as his campaign headquarters, this was a first. No other presidents of this country has ever done this, and this was a violation if the Hatch Act... big time. This president holds no regards for the Constitution of the United States..He also committed Treason by inviting Communist China to investigate an American dignitary.
How much the American will continue to take before they calls for accountability.
SELAH
If your interested, I wrote books! They are a new structure to a new country! Includes full constitution! You can make all new laws! Sold in Amazon!
George Washington, Samuel Adams, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, and Paul Revere; men of renoun, men who are venerated and held in high esteem in our classrooms and churches, their actions and leadership celebrated each year on July 4th. Christian historians laud their faith and many quote from their writings. They're held up as great men of God, our "Founding Fathers."
They financed, planned and led the charge against a tyrannical British Empire who had subjugated the colonies of the Americas. Thousands fought and died to birth this nation through great trials, giving their lives as a sacrifice for the hope that if they could not live free themselves their family would one day. So they held on, persevered and won the victory.
I wonder if any of these men ever stopped to ponder Romans 13? The King of England was the rightful ruler over the colonies. He was the authority appointed by God, yet, these men whom so many of you revere rebelled against the King. Yet you celebrate them as great God fearing men.
Millions more came after them, serving this great nation and through blood and anguish they have preserved your freedoms. And now, you scoff at what was purchased at such a high price. You make the deaths of my brothers and sisters of no account by your capitulation of the freedoms we purchased. This is a betrayal by the American people and the church in particular. When you refuse to walk in the freedom we that had provided you might as well be spitting in our faces and desecrating the graves of our fallen soldiers.
William Wallace, a name only known by historians before the release of the movie Braveheart in 1995. It's a favorite among many Christian men for its fearless pursuit of justice and freedom. Most reading this know of the passion the movie elicited and like me were probably ready to go buy a claymore and a kilt to charge the fields at Fulkirk and Stirling Bridge.
Many Christian confrences, workshops and bible studies were fashioned after the theme of the movie...FREEDOM. And many a person quoted, "They may take our lives, but they'll never take OUR FREEDOM!!!" And even today, when you read that quote, many of you read it with emotion. It is a movie worthy of many quotes, such as this;
"Men don't follow titles, they follow courage. Now our people know you, both noble and common, they respect you and if you would just lead them to freedom, they'd follow you. And so would I."
"Solemn" ceremonies were held in men's confrences and churches across America where men were "knighted" for completing a course of study as swords were given in "honor" of their great achievement as if they had actually charged in battle. This kind of "courage" is short lived because it's cheap.
Today, not a peep from these men. Only a spirit of compliance is propagated from the virtual pulpit. Let's not offend, let's not talk about the truth because it can be deemed as negative. After all, we don't want to be labeled as conspiracy theorists. Whatever the government wants, we will comply. We will be safe.
My heart aches. Not for the nation as a whole, but for those who served and sacrificed themselves to preserve what you now throw away.
And yet, there is ONE who sacrificed far more than anyone to purchase your freedom. He left glory, his high place to dwell among men. He fought, he bled and he died to purchase your freedom and he rose again on the third day to seal it for all eternity. But many who call themselves Christians are too afraid to walk in that freedom and are today making his sacrifice of no account. He leads us to freedom. And it's not a freedom without risk but one that must be lived through faith and courage while laying down the crutches of peace and safety.
Consider Peter and John in chapter 3 and 4 of the book of Acts. They were preaching in Jerusalem and were arrested. After spending the night in jail and being "severely threatened" by the pharisees, what did they do? Did they go home and cower in fear? Did they reason among themselves and decided it would be safer to comply with the demands of the government? Did they pray for deliverance? No. They prayed for boldness. What's happened to your boldness church?
Many years ago we (Global Diversity office staff) went to the predecessor of this museum (in Philadelphia) . The Liberty Museum was amazing....
Will it have a display of all the heretics NOT burned at the stake? And all the witches who were allowed to live? (Trying to imagine the intersection of Faith and Liberty)
ALWAYS post this with all the faith baloney.
This would make more sense. In approx. {?} month, of the summer, in 1981, I lost my wallet at a pay phone, in the Quaker area, in Virginia, where I had stopped to make a call to my mom. It was so hot, when I closed the door of my car, a1966 Catalina, I loved, anyway, my window broke, it just turned to crumbled sugar. Like shattered, in crumbled many pieces, of sugar. This upset, then trying to call my mom, in N.J. just to check in, did not answer the phone, of course, increased my level of anxiety. I some how, left my wallet at that pay phone, I didn't need anything, etc. I was just calling to check in, I had a bit of a experience, just prior, that also concerned me. While going down the highway, a tire on the car, just plain blew, while going down the highway. So a higher rate of speed, and I was praising and thanking the good lord, things went the way they did, also. However, that experience, just sparked my concern for everyone, my family. We were ok, completely fine, I just wanted to check in with my family, i always, checked in on, if at times, my anxiety was a bit escalated. Who by the way at the time? Had company, in, visiting, more of our family, visiting at the time, so they were not at home, they were out and about, having a dinner, going to the casino, just some tourist things, for our family that was visiting at the time. I was thinking, i am out on the road, and thought to myself, something must have been wrong, not there to answer my call? I did not know, we had family from out of town, visiting. I was very happy, to learn later and Thanking, praising God, nothing was wrong there. It just added to my distractions, my thought process at the time, etc. My little ditz phase, distraction, forgetting my wallet at the pay phone. Anyway, My Maiden name at the time was Grier and the name on my license, identity, of my wallet I had lost, then. Later, Upon realizing, I had lost my wallet, went back to the gas station, where we had stopped, where my window broke, where I had tried to use the pay phone to call my mom, check on the family, where I left my wallet. When I went into the gas station, to ask if anyone found, or returned my wallet? I had explained, aside from my license, we are on vacation, I had $80.00 in the wallet. I never planned on receiving back when it was lost, so was not a thought again. i just hoped it helped someone that actually needed it. Not much money at all, however, I had left at the pay phone, I had tried to use, to call my mom. I was on a camping trip with a friend, {I no longer speak to these days, I think, since about, 1982ish. Everyone grew up, got married, moved on in life, etc.} Anyway, the gas station attendant looked around a bit, they did not have my wallet. They explained, I was in a Quaker area, which they insisted, were very honest people. So they did not believe anyone of the Quaker's, if found it, would have taken it, without returning it and if had, to the gas station, it would be there. So, It could have been yet another tourist, also going through the area, as we were, if it could not be found. It was reported, I had to replace all of my information, the normal things, if and when loose your license, identity, et. Quite possibly, someone may have taken the money and tossed the wallet and identity. To think now, I do not believe, identity theft, in my opinion, was something of a norm back in those days. Nothing at all like these days. It was definitely, a different time, day and age, in our Nation. Even in that short period of time, ago. The 1981 to 2020, not that long of a period of time. Things were definitely, not like they are today. So I kind of felt quite comfortable, even as I thought, when I had reported the loss, what had happened. Not finding my wallet, or any thing in it. Really didn't seem to matter as much at that time. Identity theft certainly was not even a thought back then, as it maybe, in these days. I have heard stories, of crime, etc. in different inner city areas, through time. There was theft in the cities, some rare reports of violent crimes, areas of financial desperation, however, not nearly as bad as things are in these days. I was happy, that if I had to loose my identity, it was in a Quaker area, as my thoughts were, my address was on the identity in the wallet. So if a Quaker had found it at a later time, they would have mailed it back. At a later time, some time later, my mom had called me and said I received a envelope, with a license in it. Did I need it? No, but that is probably, why, or where I received it from, some honest person found it, and mailed it to my parents home at that time. I do not recall, I was not living at home, at that time either. In any regard, I think I said, no, just toss it, I had replaced my lost information, and my mom likely tossed it. So, my thoughts, story about, a Quaker town, in Virginia, back around the 1981, period of time.
