On Memorial Day

I do not have a problem looking into the mirror. Except today. I do understand the events leading up to our Revolutionary War (or the Presbyterian War if you live in Great Britain). I do understand the courage necessary for our founding fathers to overthrow the chains of tyranny. And their personal sacrifices, depth of faith and their commitment to provide Liberty for their children.

Unlike most people, I also understand that our first President was John Hanson. I only state this because most people are not familiar with the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union. Most people are not familiar with the sacrifices of our soldiers since the Revolution. The blood and treasure that this country has spent to maintain Liberty has been too dear to abandon so cheaply. Today, we honor those who gave their blood for our Liberty. Unfortunately, like most Summer holidays, the true purpose has been replaced by a day off from work and a hot dog on the grill.

I have a problem with Memorial Day. I respect and honor the sacrifices of our soldiers since 1776. I do not honor our government which has transformed our military into a joke led by General Milley.

The oath to uphold the Constitution of the Republic means as much as the words of any politician. Our military does not honor their oath to the Constitution and they do not honor the office of the President of the United States by supporting an illegal regime. Our military forces are as much a puppet as Joe Biden.

Power corrupts absolutely as we see by our politicians grasping to maintain their hegemony over the world even as it is falling from their grip. Our politicians see no use for our “veterans” or their sacrifice: they use their selected military leaders as useful idiots. I understand that this is Memorial Day and not Veterans’ Day but consider this headline:

Homeless vets are being booted from NY hotels to make room for migrants

Consider how low this country’s leadership has fallen when the phrase “Make America Great Again” is considered racist. Then again, breathing and exhaling carbon dioxide is racist since it impacts “climate change”.

Now consider the mission statement of Oath Keepers:

Oath Keepers USA is a group of proud American Patriots who are dedicated to upholding the Constitution of the United States of America. Our members have rich, diverse backgrounds and include prior and current military, law enforcement, firefighters, first responders and civilians, all of whom have taken a solemn oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Our Mission is to honor our Oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

 Our Vision is that the United States of America endure in perpetuity as a Constitutional Republic.

We now “know” that this organization is composed of domestic terrorists. Oath Keepers did not forget the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson:

But we have. As the January 6th political prisoners rot in jail, add some relish to your hot dog and pray that the knock on your door does not come at 3:00 AM.

I honor those who have given their blood for this nation’s Liberty. I pray that the traitors in the government and the military who are leading us to nuclear annihilation are held accountable by those who have Sacred Honor and the courage to restore the Constitutional Republic.
