Wisdom from an Old Broke Down Drunk

"The temptation of the age is to look good without being good."
— Brennan Manning (The Ragamuffin Gospel: Good News for the Bedraggled, Beat-Up, and Burnt Out)

"To live by grace means to acknowledge my whole life story, the light side and the dark. In admitting my shadow side I learn who I am and what God's grace means."
— Brennan Manning

Thanks for visiting this blog...I understand this is a lot of information. Some of it is scientific truth, objective truth, opinion, and observational truth from researching cyclical history. Some posts are also speculation. Please do not become overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information. I encourage you to start with one subject. Type in any subject into the search bar or browse the Labels on the right hand side of the screen.

If you wish to share any of your videos, links, or essays please contact me and I will gladly post them on my blog to help cross promote a message of truth and liberty.

It does not take a majority to prevail...but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in men's minds. -Samuel Adams

In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot -Mark Twain

"You do not become the dissident, just because you decide one day to take up this most unusual career, you were thrown into it by your personal sense of responsibility combined with a complex set of external circumstances. You are cast out of the existing structures, and placed in a position of conflict with them. It begins as an attempt to do your work well, and ends up with you being branded as an enemy of society." -Vaclev Havel

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. -Arthur Schopenhauer

"Truth crushed to the earth is truth still and like a seed will rise again." Jefferson Davis

Obama is just Bush's Third Term.. -Barry Donegan

In times of Universal Deceit, telling the Truth becomes a Revolutionary Act -George Orwell

He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future. -George Orwell

Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it -George Orwell

RESIST. REFUSE. REFUTE WITH THE TRUTH. -Fortunate Son

One man with courage is a majority.
-Andrew Jackson

...if liberty must perish, or the government be overthrown, I would not hesitate, at the hazard of life, to resort to revolution, and to tear down a corrupt government that could neither be reformed nor borne by freemen. - John C. Calhoun

"I love the Union and the Constitution, but I would rather leave the Union with the
Constitution than remain in the Union without it.'‘ Jefferson Davis

"Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty."

—Thomas Jefferson

"On the altar of God, I swear eternal hostility against all forms of tyranny over the mind of man." - Thomas Jefferson

"But the principle for which we contended is bound to reassert itself, though it may be at another time and in another form." -Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America

"So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent...to put shackles upon sleeping men.
— Voltairine de Cleyre (1886-1912)

Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito...
Do not give in to evil, but proceed ever more boldly against it.
-Ludwig von Mises's childhood motto from Virgil

"Any society which suppresses the heritage of its conquered minorities, prevents their history or denies them their symbols, has sown the seeds of their own destruction." ~Sir William Wallace, 1281

What Obama learned at Harvard University:

THE TEN PLANKS OF SOCIALISM:
as written by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels in 1848.

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc.

Release the Good!

¹⁶He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, ¹⁷so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. Revelations 13:16

These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
John 16:33

The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."

Zephaniah 3:17

A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;

Isaiah 42:3

Prayer of St. Francis:
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

The Lord's Prayer:

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. for ever and ever. Amen

"Whatever our failings may be, we need not lower our eyes in the presence of Jesus . . . we need not hide all that is ugly and repulsive in us. Jesus comes not for the super-spiritual but for the wobbly and weak-kneed who know they don't have it all together, and who are not too proud to accept the handout of amazing grace . . . There they are. There we are – the multitude who so wanted to be faithful, who at times got defeated, soiled by life, and bested by trials, wearing the bloodied garments of life's tribulations, but through it all clung to the faith. " Brennan Manning "Ragamuffin Gospel"

"God loves us as we are, not as we should be, because no one is as he should be."
"My deepest awareness of myself is that I am deeply loved by Jesus Christ and I've done nothing to earn it or deserve it."
Brennan Manning

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Ephesians 6:12

"But I tell you: Love your enemiesⁱ and pray for those who persecute you"

Matthew 5:44
