“If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.”
Thomas Paine
A quote I picked up from freedom force international (actually I picked the last one up there as well). Where I disagree with Thomas Paine on the principles of God and his providence; I do agree with him in the quote above. Instead of destroying our childrens future we should be trying to give them a better tomorrow. Not debauching their currency and giving them a mountain of debt. That just doesn't make sense if your doing right by tomorrows generation. Sadly, I doubt any President we have had in 30 plus years has thought of anyone outside of themselves.

Marrinel Eccles, on credit
"The United States economy is like a poker game where the chips have become concentrated in fewer and fewer hands, and where the other fellows can stay in the game only by borrowing. When the credit runs out the game will stop."
Marriner Eccles, chairman of the federal reserve 1931-1934
The Fed is the one who provides the credit. The banks are powerless without the fed. So the game is going to stop when? When the fed decides that it's going to end. Blatant admission that the Federal Reserve plays with your futurre like it's a monopoly game. Only in this game they already know who's going to win.
Wikpedia states the following about Eccles, " After a brief stint at the Treasury Department, he was appointed by President Roosevelt as the Chairman of the Federal Reserve between 1934 and 1948. He stayed on the Board of Governors until 1951, when he resigned over acrimony between the Fed and the Treasury Department prior to the 1951 Accord. He also participated in post-World War II Bretton Woods negotiations that created the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. He later retired back to Utah to run his companies and write his memoirs, titled Beckoning Frontiers.
Marriner Eccles is often seen as an early proponent of demand stimulus projects to fend off the ravages of the Great Depression. Later, he became known as a defender of Keynesian ideas, though his ideas predated Keynes' The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money. "
Need I say more.

Benjamin Franklin on debt
"Think what you do when you run in debt; you give to another power over your liberty."
Benjamin Franklin
Dr. Franklin knew what he was talking about. The United States initially set up a 20 charter with a central bank in our first 20 years in existence. Our founders seeing it for the debt it produced let it's charter run out. The Rothschild's in Europe didn't like this, and some say the war of 1812 was really about the United States not renewing the charter on that bank. The second Bank of the United states was another central bank that was abolished by Andrew Jackson. Of course Jacksons stand allowed The United States to be debt free for the first and only time in our nations history.
What people don't understand is that central banking is a debt based system. They only print the money to loan, not the interest. The bible commanded us to not charge usury (interest) in the old testament. The bible also states that the borrower is slave to the lender. Debt is slavery, and our founders understood this all too well. So now our third central bank known as the federal reserve has us Trillions in debt. If you pay it back you retract the money supply and crash the economy. If you keep spending you inflate the money supply and debach our dollar. Or, you try to keep this deck of cards standing by selling the debt to other countries and making a bigger mess down the road.
END THE FED....
P.S. It is good to note that an attempt was made on Andrew Jackson's life when he wouldn't renew the bank charter. Could it be God's providence that made that gun back fire?

Thomas Jefferson, foreign policy
"Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship with All Nations-Entangling Alliances with None."
Thomas Jefferson
Such was spoken on Thomas Jeffersons first inaugural address (and a popular quote on the back of all new american magazines). Our founders knew we couldn't stay strong as a nation if we were engaged in other nations affairs. Mr. Jefferson wouldn't have sent us into Iraq, Afganistan, or all these other nations our current government wants to conquer. These wars have nothing to do with maintaining our freedom, and everything to do with setting up the new world order. Our founders wouldn't have this relationship we have with Israel. That nation would be expected to make it's own way in this world without our 400 billion plus dollars a year to support their military. It's not about being enemies with any nation. It's about not fighting wars we have no interest in, and no national security threat. What ever happened to trying to find Osama Bin Ladin? Or are we too busy building a new Iraq, and protecting it from Iran? Hmmm, I wonder where were going to go next?

Thomas Jefferson on power
"When all government, domestic and foreign, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated."
-Thomas Jefferson (quote taken from Ron Paul's "The Revolution")
Strange as it might seem by todays standards that our founders didn't advocate for centralized government. As a matter of fact our founders fought against most of what we tolerate with increasing apathy. A government that has enough power to give you what so ever you want has enough power to take anything, and everything from you. Our founders fought against oppressive taxes (think IRS), oppressive government (think current government), loss of property (think current regulations), and much more. The United States is falling into tyranical fascism. The people will wake up, but will it be too late?

Benjamin Franklin on compassion
"To relieve the misfortunes of our fellow creatures is concurring with the Deity; it is godlike, but, if we provide encouragement for laziness, and supports for folly, may we not be found fighting against the order of God and Nature, which perhaps has appointed want and misery as proper punishmets for, and cautions against, as well as necessary consequences of, idleness and extravagance? Whenever we attempt to amend the scheme of Providence and to interfere with government of the world, we had need be very circumspect, lest we do more harm than good. "
Benjamin Franklin (Smyth, writings of Benjamin Franklin, 3:135)
W. Cleon Skoussen in his book the 5000 year leap pointed out that Franklin was for the most part of the have not crowd (as opposed to the haves). However, if was Franklin who lived in England for several years and saw government "compassion" (we call it welfare) in action.
Benjamin Franklin stated to one of his friends in england, "I have long been of your opinion, that your legal provision for the poor (in england) is a very great evil, operating as it does to the encouragement of idleness. We have followed your example, and begin now to see our error, and, I hope, shall reform it." (Ibid., 10:64.)
When they say history repeats itself they are not kidding. Instead of rolling out the welfare dollars why not look at what it does to people through the lens of history? Why not see if these mistakes have happened before, and, I don't know, try making new mistakes if nothing else. Humans in general are so predictable. The founders have already given us the lesson on welfare. They have essentially already told us "IT DOESN'T WORK, SO AVOID IT OK." The lessons of history are clear here. Yet our government officials keep printing more money they can never pay back, keep building more debt, and continue to push us down the road to serfdom. All while we the people sit back saying, "give me, give me, give me" just like a child does for his toys or candy. We don't know our history, and no one can remain ignorant and free. It just won't happen.
I have done a fair share of reading books on hunting, trapping, and such. One story I will never forget. An author was trying to convey the importance for trapping a opossum and feeding it for weeks prior to killing and eating it. The idea is that the opossum was gamey tasting, and that you had to get some fat on him, and get him ready for the slaughter. If the government is taking from others and giving it to you will they not take from you in the future? Why is it that people are OK with allowing the government to take from their neighbor, but only protest when it's done to them (though they should have seen it coming). We as a nation, like the opossum, are being primed for the slaughter. The more hand outs we take, the more liberties we give up. Nothing is free, and there is always someone paying for it. In our case I believe history will show that we traded our freedom for candy (red communist candy from china most likely).

James Madison on morality
"Is there no virtue among us? If there be not, we are in a wretched situation. No theoretical checks, no form of government, can render us secure. To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea. If there be sufficient virtue and intelligence in the community, it will be exercised in the selection of these men; so that we do not depend upon their virtue, or put confidence in our rulers, but in the people who are to choose them."
-James Madison
"I thank God that I have lived to see my country independent and free. She may long enjoy her independence and freedom if she will. It depends on her virtue." Samuel Adams in a letter to Richard Henry Lee.
I firmly believe that on this day July 15, 2009, we have a corrupt nation and government. Not only can you plainly see the unvirtous nature of people across the television set, but you can plainly see it in their elected officials. Our congressman, senators, and President reflect US.... We put them in office, and after they lie, cheat, and steal we give them a second term. If they are of the most corrupt of all the people we leave them in office for thirty plus years. Can there be any question as to why our liberties are being flushed down the drain? When you consider where our country is heading don't forget to look at the individual looking back at you in the mirror. Did that individual vote? Who did you vote for? Did you do YOUR OWN RESEARCH on that officials record? Finally, do you hold your officials accountable? Or, are you too busy watching American Idol?

Thomas Jefferson on ignorance
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." Thomas Jefferson (Ford, writings of Thomas Jefferson, 10:4)
If you walk into any high school today I doubt very much that ten percent of the students have ever read the constitution or the declaration of independence. No, not once!!! However, they will be taught every possible short coming our founders ever had (they were not perfect) without hearing any of their better traits. The foundations of freedom have been long forgotten by our society. And with it every freedom we still have (only by a thread I might add) will soon follow the knowledge that has been forgotten and despised by many of our fellow citizens.
Benjamin Franklin looked at a painting once while signing one of our great documents. It was a the sun peering over the horizon. His only question was if it was a setting sun or a rising one. In his day it was definately rising. In ours I'm afraid it's setting and freedoms light has almost been totally eclipsed. (Reference, The 5000 year leap by W. Cleon Skoussen)
