Given I agree 100% with this minister, guess that means I was born too late. Sometimes I feel like an out of century misfit.

Great post and thanx so much for the reminders!

I know I am preaching to the choir with this but It needs to go around the country and remind us of what we stand for.
Thanks for coming by!

Drop by sometime. I have seen this and other such comments from American heroes in our past history. As a 70 yr old teacher for the last 48 yrs., teaching political science, I too am infuriated that American teachers,students, and their 'inconvenienced' parents who don't want to push their little darlings to learn things, plus the media which lies about American exceptionalism, free enterprise and liberty. It is even worse now since the tyranny of the majority seems to be now a generational one which will stay in place since the lemmings who vote are products of this leftist immersion in socialist pacifism and welfare mentality. Popular culture has decided that that minister is a dope, old fashioned and just 'doesn't get it.' Whatever they think 'getting it' is!

More common sense:

You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

~~~~~ Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931 - 2005 ~~~~~

Those who don’t get it, will soon enough.

I am a former teacher also...elementary...and 81 years old!
I have the distinct notion that pride in our nation, patriotism, and respect for our heritage are being ignored in schools today so I share your fury.
thank you for coming by.

Intheknow

Thank you for adding that quote...I saw it before and sent it in an email to all my correspondents, hoping they would send it on its way.
It goes perfectly with the quote I posted!
Nice to see you.

well said

we need these people to be heard! When I post something on youtube, where many kids my age or younger think they know "facts" from the media. I give them facts I've learned from people here, and many other places that I like to research. They in turn scream at me and call me a hater, just because I believe in what was listed by that pastor! I hope my generation redeems themselves! Great post!

Thank you for coming by. I worry about this generation...I fear their education is sub-standard. The history books are being written by liberals who are distorting facts. They are being taught to succeed in tests but too much is missing in the curriculum.
Now, with the economy in the state it is, education will take a bigger hit.
Thank you for doing whatever you can to get the real facts to young people.

SOMEONE Please send this to Obama

So true, so obvious. Too bad the lefties cannot, cannot grasp the truth even if it hits them in the face.

You are so right. It never seems possible that they could be so stupid ...but they always are.
Nice to see you...thanks for visiting.

Words of Wisdom

Thanks for posting this excellent reminder, emjayne. The words are simple and the logic flawless! Words to live by, indeed.

dawn

thank you , sweetie. and thanks for coming to visit!

A keeper

Simple and to the point. Should be memorized like the Pledge of Allegiance.

Cindy

Love your idea!! and no worry about separation of church and state, right? LOLOL
But it sure needs to be taught in school!!

The purpose of...

...preaching to the choir is so they can sing it to the masses! Do NOT consider yourself a FORMER teacher! You are teaching NOW by everything you say and do (and write) to anyone with ears to hear and eyes to see. Writing and expressing yourself here prepares the mind for doing so with those in your circle of influence. That will be the only way to preserve and spread true conservative thought...one person at a time. So seeth away, sister!

LOLOL Thanks for you vote of confidence!! I argue with everyone in my sphere about conservatism. We had lunch today with a couple we see once a year and found out he , altho a dyed-in-the-wool Repub., voted for Obama!! Because he couldn't stand to vote for McCain!!!!
I really believe he had no idea what he was doing! He said "A lot of people voted for him." I said "Sure, because so few people knew what he was, what he believed, what he was coming from!!" I didn't say, as I should have, because I love him, that he should have found out who he was voting for!!

yes

to all the above. Try talking to people about the Constitution, not conservatism, that may be an easier road.

dave

Constitution?? hmmm sounds familiar...heard about it sometime somewhere. Do you suppose, as a citizen of this country, I should know what it is???
HAHAHA
I suggest we send copies to all the members of Congress...because I am sure they don't know what it is either!!

I'm so sorry I missed this

earlier. Having trouble getting around to all the posts. This is great. I'm mailing it to myself to forward to all my friends and to post on the message board.

Great post.
