A History Lesson

In Yorktown, during the Summer and Fall

 of 1781, people took a stand for freedom and for what is right,

and...

to fight the last major battle of the

American Revolution...

...the American people won...!

Does the general (liberalized) media echo the majority voice in respect to the issues of

...abortion, gay marriage, affirmative action, immigration, religion, separation of church and state, etc., and

other vital issues important to "all" of the voting American public....?

Today, there is much confusion in America, but why?

It doesn't matter how hard you try, the fact is - you can't please everyone all of the time.

Someone is bound to be unhappy irregardless of the decision.

For example - If you have 100 people, and one person (the minority) is in some way offended by the

decisions of the group (the majority), the majority should respectfully consider the one person's opinion,

attempt to be as fair as possible, then weigh the outcome; but ultimately, 

a final decision should be left to the "VOTING" majority. 

Today it is different -

the one person's view (and complaint)  is counted above the majority, and therefore,

the one voice wields control over the entire majority - and much to the majority's dissatisfaction.

The majority, left without choice, then become silent because their voice doesn't count  -

and this is one reason why confusion reigns in American society.

Confusion reigns when the minority voice leads the masses....!

The silent majority will never be an influence

unless their voice be heard...,

not to the impediment or persecution

 of the minority voice,

but simply because they are the majority;

...and who "is" the majority?

The meaning of "the majority" is a 

PEOPLE OF ONE VOICE, a like-mindedness irrespective of gender, race, ethnicity, etc.

THE OLD MAN, A BOY AND A DONKEY

      There was an old man, a boy, and a donkey. They were going to town and it was decided that the boy should ride. As they went along they passed some people who thought that it was a shame for the boy to ride and the old man to walk. The old man and boy decided that maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.

      Later, they passed some more people who thought that it was a real shame for that man to make such a small boy walk. The two decided that maybe they both should walk. 

      Soon they passed some more people who thought that it was stupid to walk when they had a donkey to ride. The man and the boy decided maybe the critics were right so, they decided that they both should ride.

      They soon passed other people who thought that it was a shame to put such a load on a poor little animal. The old man and the boy decided that maybe the critics were right, so they decided to carry the donkey.

      As they crossed a bridge they lost their grip on the animal and he fell into the river and drowned.

The moral of the story: If you try to please everyone, you will eventually lose your ass.

HISTORY FORGOTTEN

Racial Unity in America - 1607

"America's first permanent European settlement was largely a color-blind society."

Christian History Returns as Jamestown Gag Lifted

Criminalizing Christianity: How America's founding religion is becoming illegal

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled,

or where the doer of deeds could have done better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena;

whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood;

who strives valiantly;

who errs and comes short again and again;

who knows the great enthusiasms,

the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course;

who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,

and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly;

so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
(Paris Sorbonne,1910)

Geraldine Parker wrote - Did you know that 52 of the 55 signers of the Declaration of Independence

were orthodox, deeply committed Christians? The other three believed in the Bible as
the divine truth, the God of scripture, and His personal intervention.
It is the same Congress that formed the American Bible Society.

Immediately after creating the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress voted
to purchase and import 20,000 copies of the Scriptures for the people of this nation.
Patrick Henry, who is called the firebrand of the American Revolution, is still
remembered for his words, "Give me liberty or give me death."

But in current textbooks the context of these words are deleted.

Here is what he actually said - "An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. 

But we shall not fight our battle alone; There is a just God that presides over the destinies of nations.

The battle sir, is not to the strong alone, is life so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased

at the price of chains and slavery? I know not what course others may take,

but as for me, give me liberty or give me death."
These sentences have been erased from our textbooks. The words of a Christian.
The following year, 1776, he wrote this - "It cot be emphasized too strongly or too often that

this great nation was founded not by religionists, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been
afforded the freedom of worship here."

Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote in the front of his well worn Bible - "I am a real

Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country will

soon be rallied to the unity of our Creator." Thomas Jefferson was also the chairman of the American
Bible Society, which he considered his highest and most important role.

On July 4, 1821, President Adams said, "The highest glory of the American Revolution was this;

it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of government with the principles of Christianity."

Calvin Coolidge, our 30th President, reaffirmed this truth when he wrote, "The
foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of
the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these
teachings would cease to be practically in our country."

In 1782 the United States Congress voted this resolution: "The Congress of the
United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools."

William Holmes McGuffey is the author of the McGuffey Reader, which was used
for over 100 years in our public schools with over 125 million copies sold,
until it was stopped in 1963. Abraham Lincoln called him the "Schoolmaster of
the Nation". Mr. McGuffey said, "The Christian religion is the religion of our
country. From it are derived our notions on the character of God, on the great
moral Governor of the universe. On its doctrines are founded the peculiarities
of our free institutions. From no other source has the author drawn more
conspicuously than from the sacred Scriptures.

From these extracts from the Bible I make no apology."

Of the first 108 universities founded in America, 106 were distinctly
Christian, including the first, Harvard University, chartered in 1636. In the
original Harvard Student Handbook, rule number one (1) was that students
seeking entrance must know Latin and Greek so that they can study the
Scriptures: "Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to
consider well, the main end of his life and studies is, to know God and Jesus
Christ, which is eternal life, John 17:3; and therefore to lay Jesus Christ as
the only foundation for our children to follow the moral principles of the

Ten Commandments."

Today we are asking God to bless America. But how can He bless a nation that
has departed so far from Him?

Prior to Sept 11, He was not truly welcomed in America. It's a shame that most
of what you have read has been erased from our textbooks.
Revisionists have rewritten history to remove the truth about America's Christian roots.

What was the ultimate fate of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.

...

Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.

...

What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners:

men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty

would be death if they were captured.

...

Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy.

He sold his home and properties to pay his debts and died in rags. Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British

that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was

kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.

...

Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr. noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson

home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and

Nelson died bankrupt.

...

Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.

John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and

his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning to find his wife dead

and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston

suffered similar fates.

...

Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians.

They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall

and straight, and unwavering, they pledged: "For the support of the declaration, with firm reliance on the protection

of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor."

...

They gave you and me a free and independent America. The history books told you a lot of what happened in the Revolutionary War.

We didn't fight just the British. We were British subjects at that time and we fought our own

government! Some of us take these liberties so much for granted, but we shouldn't. So take a few minutes while

enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid.

...

Remember: Freedom is never free! I hope you show your support by sharing this with as many people as you

can. It's time we get the word out that Patriotism is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than beer,

picnics, and baseball games.

History is the documentation of Time....

History is History - some of it is good and some of it is bad; but

history should be accepted "for what it is" without altering or changing the facts -

especially when it doesn't fit with a certain agenda or political statement....

In today's society, however,

how far back in "Time" does history need to be rewritten or erased

before it is considered politically acceptable?

or

Perhaps to the American flag?

When the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost reminding us of our nation's motto,

Did You Know?! The Symbolism Is Overwhelming!

Contrary to the positions stated in the above article, most historical evidence points to the fact

that America was founded based upon the "fundamental principles" of Christianity; i.e., as in

"the freedom to choose."  In this regard, government doesn't dictate (as in the case of predominantly Muslim countries

ruled by Sharia Law) on how and what to "believe," the avoidance of persecution because of religious belief,

and the fundamental right to practice religious faith without government interference or oversight -

thus = "Separation of Church and State."

DID YOU KNOW?

As you walk up the steps to the rear of the building which houses the U.S. Supreme Court

 you can see near the top of the building a row of the world's law givers and each one is facing forward with a

full frontal view.   ...Moses is in the middle holding a symbolic representation of The Law - The Ten Commandments!

"The pediment contains the sculpture "Liberty Enthroned Guarded by Order and Authority" by Robert Aitken.

On the other side of the building is another sculpture group, this one by Herman McNeil, 'Means of Enforcing the Law,

Tempering Justice with Mercy, Carrying on Civilization, and Settlement of Disputes Between States.'

It's main elements are depictions of Moses, Confucius, and Solon."

  U.S. Supreme Court

 DID YOU KNOW?
As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the shape and symbolic representation

of the Ten Commandments containing the Roman numerals I through V and VI through X engraved on the lower portion of

the door.  The picture on the right is where the Ten Commandments are bound together with three shaffs of wheat..

The Symbolism is overwhelming...

DID YOU KNOW?

Adolph A. Weinman (1870-1952) was greatly influenced by the work of John Knox , a leader of the Protestant Reformation,

and other early Christian theologians.  Weinman's sculptures represent a number of historical lawgivers including Solomon,

Augustus, Charlemagne, Justinian, Napolean, and one of
