Is rebellion against rebellion rebellion?

The greatest threat to our freedoms—and our bank accounts—may not lurk outside our borders. Rather, it prowls among us, in the form of a government of wolves. In this weeks vodcast, John W. Whitehead takes aim at Congress for its blatant disregard for the rights of the American taxpayer.

Thomas Jefferson on The Nature and Source of Our Rights

Refreshing truths that guide the mind, heart, and will of man.
clipped from etext.virginia.edu
1. Inalienable Rights
The Nature and Source of Our Rights
"Under the law of nature, all men are born free, every one comes into the world with a right to his own person, which includes the liberty of moving and using it at his own will. This is what is called personal liberty, and is given him by the Author of nature, because necessary for his own sustenance."


"The evidence of [the] natural right [of expatriation], like that of our right to life, liberty, the use of our faculties, the pursuit of happiness, is not left to the feeble and sophistical investigations of reason, but is impressed on the sense of every man. We do not claim these under the charters of kings or legislators, but under the King of Kings." --Thomas Jefferson to John Manners, 1817. ME 15:124

"Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath?"

A New, Effective Way To Educate Your Local Sheriff

"Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty." ~ Thomas Jefferson
A wonderful tool is now available that can assist in reaching every Sheriff in every county in this country. The Sheriff: Powers and Responsibilities of Elected Peace Officers is a video available from the Americans Citizens & Lawmen Association.
these good folks have made it very easy to reach out and touch your local Sheriff with the truth and remind them, via presentations from Sheriffs and a former U.S. Congresswoman, about the history of freedom and about the oath they take once they're elected.
Never again, not in this country. I hope you will participate in this worthy effort because some day in the not too distant future, you might wish your local Sheriff had been able to watch this video from ACLA. America is truly in crisis. Our fight is for none but the brave. Your local Sheriff needs to know you will support him/her, but only if they uphold their oath. This video will help them to understand the proper role of a county Sheriff.

America, welcome back into the world.

America under President Obama

The weight of expectation that rests today on the frame of a 47-year-old senator with no real executive experience is too great for one man and, in all probability, too large for one term of office.
But if the stakes for Barack Obama are high, so too is the opportunity.
Jimmy Carter argued
it would take no more than 10 minutes
to change America's global image
the next president should promise not to torture another prisoner, not to attack another country unless America's security was directly threatened, to honour international agreements and do the right thing on climate change
America, welcome back into the world.

Church condemns nuke manufacturers

Now that is a church that is clear about its mission. It reminds me of...
Luke 9:54-56
When His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?" 55 But He turned and rebuked them, [and said, "You do not know what kind of spirit you are of; 56 for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them."]

God help us.

Nuclear weapons manufacturers urged to resign following university visit
Representatives of the Atomic Weapons Establishment near Aldermaston in East Berkshire have met calls for their resignation after they visited the University of Birmingham to recruit students into the development and manufacture of weapons of mass destruction
Two weeks ago the Anglican Bishop of Reading, Stephen Cottrell, welcomed trainee ministers to services of lamentation at the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Aldermaston in Berkshire, where Trident missile warheads are made for British military submarines. 30 staff and students from the Queen’s Foundation and the University of Birmingham also attended.
"We...denounce the nuclear weapons industry in the name of our common humanity and for the sake of our shared hope
Far from seeking to attract people to join your ranks, you yourselves should offer your resignation in the interests of national prosperity and the cause of peace for all humanity.

Thomas Jefferson on Inalienable Rights

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness." --Declaration of Independence

Thomas Jefferson on Politics & Government
1. Inalienable Rights


"[Our] principles [are] founded on the immovable basis of equal right and reason." --Thomas Jefferson to James Sullivan, 1797. ME 9:379


"The most sacred of the duties of a government [is] to do equal and impartial justice to all its citizens." --Thomas Jefferson: Note in Destutt de Tracy, "Political Economy," 1816. ME 14:465


"[The] best principles [of our republic] secure to all its citizens a perfect equality of rights." --Thomas Jefferson: Reply to the Citizens of Wilmington, 1809. ME 16:336


"In America, no other distinction between man and man had ever been known but that of persons in office exercising powers by authority of the laws, and private individuals. Among these last, the poorest laborer stood on equal ground with the wealthiest millionaire, and generally on a more favored one whenever their rights seem to jar." --Thomas Jefferson: Answers to de Meusnier Questions, 1786. ME 17:8
