Think about it
Think about this:
Today we may not put much stock in this sort of pledge, but to a man in the 18th century this was the ultimate sacrifice. His Honor!! Nations wet to war over it, yet in today’s America it seems to mean very little to the masses.
Our founding father took a gamble, they didn’t know they would win the revolution. The truth is things were not so good for the continental army. At every turn after Concord we got our hat handed to us.
It all started on April 19th 1775, several hundred towns folk, farmers, craftsmen and all matter of people and few of them were or ever had been soldiers. They stood shoulder to shoulder facing down a much larger, well trained and well armed force. They had one thing in common. They had had enough of a government that did as it saw fit and didn’t care what the subjects said, wanted or anything else.
They stood against the largest military power on earth at the time. Men on both sides died and the first wave was routed. The British pushed on to Concord. Now they face the “rabble” again but now there was about 4000 of them and they pushed the British all the way back to Boston.
Ok so think about this.
Do you have the guts to stand up to a huge army and take a bullet for your freedom? How about the current political machine. I am not at all talking about armed insurrection, but if we are to return our country to its original goal it may seem like just as daunting a task. The founders in fact put their necks in a noose. If they lost they and likely some of their family would have meet that fate. I am not asking any of you to do that but think about it, put yourself in that hot room in 1776 with a pen in your had to sign a document that could be your death warrant or that would engrave you name in posterity for all time.
Think about it.
I believe that if we are to get out of this mess we need to understand the past.
So I challenge you all to read our founding documents, don’t read into it, just read them and understand the words as they are.

My first post
My hope and goal for this blog is in some way energize my fellow Americans to start producing high quality goods as only we can and to start to be patriotic again.
In these difficult times it seems we're lacking basic common sense, the simple fact is that no one has ever lead the world as well as the United States.
There seems to be an all out war on American exceptionalisam. We need to rise above that and turn the tide. In our favor.
It seems to me that in these difficult times with a struggling economy a government that seems to be going against the will of the people in a fawning mainstream media in bed with the politicians we need to have a grassroots movement now more than ever.
I hope to follow along with this blog. My hope to inspire and energized all of us to begin producing again and get back to the basic tenets that no one can do it as well as America.
