“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.”—Mark Twain (1835-1910)
“The Constitution matters. The truth matters.” Col. Terry Lakin (before being stripped of his rank and thrown into prison—2010)
“Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. …The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.”—George Washington (1732-1799) First President of the United States of America

Lately the media have treated us to the Kafkaesque absurdity of millionaire entertainers, and billionaire radicals, vociferously supporting protesters carrying placards saying “Eat the Rich.” Hypocrisy, thy name is “Liberal.” Democrats would be an endless source of bemusing entertainment were they not so self-righteously dangerous. Faux—conservative Republicans are no laughing matter either. Link LinkLink
All of this would be bad enough, but our federal government, which should be acting as a watch-dog and preventing such perversions of capitalism, is one of the worst culprits in this never-ending shell-game of Ponzi schemes, kick-backs, and “tax and spend” policies. (That the intent of Keynesian economics was to destroy capitalism all along is the subject for another article—one that will look into the Fabian Society, John Maynard Keynes, the Frankfurt School, Harvard, Columbia, and the other usual suspects). Link Link
I say “never-ending,” but it is all about to end one way or another is it not? Unless you are willfully ignorant or apathetic, you are no doubt aware that it is all unraveling around us—on a global scale. Time is of the essence. Link Link Link
So to cut to the chase, I will skip over the multitudinous troubles that America currently faces, and get to the main point of this article—the status of the “Restore the Constitution” rally being held in Washington DC this upcoming Veteran’s Day, 11/11/11. Link
First, let me say that I am heartened by the positive response that the rally has garnered from around the country. A group from California writes that they are bringing “the world’s largest instamatic camera” to take photos of the event. A mother in Michigan writes “There are many folks from MI attending this event. I will be there standing tall with these brave veteran’s and [other patriots] on 11/11/11 with my four children.” The response has been positive and passionate.
Opposing “we the people” is the giant corporate/banking/political machine that is grinding away our freedoms day by day. They give out Nobel Peace Prizes, hand out Oscars, and anoint our leaders. They are The Powers That Be, and they despise “we the people” and feel that we are stupid, clueless, and powerless. Are they right? I guess we’ll find out on 11/11/11. Link
Unlike the Soros-funded astro-turf productions put on by The Machine, “we the people” do not have access to mega-money and fancy media pulpits. We make do with what we have, and pass the word along amongst ourselves. We hear it through the grapevine, and by coconut telegraph; we send out batch emailings, and share the truth via radio blogs and websites. The word may at first filter out slowly, but filter out it does.
Col. Harry Riley (US Army Ret.) of Patriots For America (PFA) and Veteran Defenders of America (VDA) is asking folks to make donations to the rally ($10 on up) if they can, so that the cost of permits, stage set-up, and the like may be met. We do not have the deep pockets that The Machine has, so any contributions are much appreciated. After the rally a full accounting of where the funds went will be posted, and any money that may be left over will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project. Link Link
B/Gen Charles Jones (USAF Ret.) recently pointed out that “It is apparent, based on many indisputable facts; that individual liberty, possession of property, national sovereignty, national security, and freedom will not survive if the present political power base prevails.”
In a similar vein, M/Gen. Paul Vallely (US Army Ret.) has proclaimed that “We cannot permit the current leaders in the White House, the halls of Congress and many judicial courts to continue in their efforts to lead us down this road of Progressive Socialism and chaos.”
When asked how people were reacting to news of the 11/11/11 rally, Col. James Harding (USAF Ret.), one of America’s most decorated pilots replied, “Every red blooded American we reach is on board, except those who will never be on board—leftists who have a very anti-American vision for America….” Link
(I am left to ponder where the US Navy and Marine Corp officers are on this. Are they waiting to see which way the wind blows before deciding whether or not to honor their oaths to defend the Constitution? A long and illustrious history running from John Paul Jones, to Admiral Farragut, to “Chesty” Puller, to Murphy, Monsoor, and Dakota Myers should tell them that now is the time to come to America’s defense). Link Link Link LinkLink Link
Let me say that if disagreements over the statements made in “A Declaration to Restore the Constitutional Republic” have left anyone sitting on the fence; know that you do not have to agree with every point in the Declaration. There is no need to concur with every item—it is enough to understand that America is in grave danger on many fronts, and that the time for decisive action is now. As the saying goes, “you are not just one; you are one more.” Consider it emergency triage for America, and “medics” (i.e. patriots) are urgently needed. Link
While some may choose to quibble over minutia, procrastinate over perceived imperfections, and dither over details, those of us who know the value of action will be gathering in Washington DC on Veteran’s Day, in order to throw a gauntlet down before America’s political elites. Whether or not there are still enough freedom-loving patriots left in this country to save America, or make America worth the saving, is something we will find out on 11/11/11, won’t we?
Laus Deo.
P.S. Please contact The United States Patriots Union and/or Veteran Defenders of America for more information. Patriots Union and VDA patches are now available.
P.S.S. From Col. Riley: “You can mail your contribution payable to The U.S. Patriots Union (11-11-11 Event) mailed to The U.S. Patriots Union – P.O. Box 783 – Hermitage, TN 37076-0783 Mail donations are requested to be sent right away..
