Alphabet Soup Found To Be Toxic!

As a little girl in the 60’s I fondly remember sitting at our kitchen table with my brother and my mom placing in front of us a steaming bowl of Alphabet soup and a stack of soda crackers.  A warm lunch, giggles, spelling lessons and mischief shared at our kitchen table, many fond memories. That red and white can still exists on supermarket shelves but the term “Alphabet Soup” has changed drastically in today’s society.

The throngs of federal agencies have now been fondly deemed Alphabet Soup agencies by the American public. These agencies were not a part of the founding governing process set in place by our forefathers, in fact if you read the Declaration of Independence one of the charges against the crown describes them exactly!  “He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.” This grievance and many more are listed before the excessive tax grievance that is commonly believed to the reason for separation from England.

This multitude of new offices all started with the growth of the country and the expansion of governmental responsibilities which led to the creation of the Department of the Interior in 1849, the Department of Justice in 1870, and the Post Office Department in 1872. It wasn’t long before these agencies were derailed by greed and power and no longer served the purpose of protecting the rights of the people but the special interest of the few. The great depression and then the upheaval of the 60’s and 70’s brought unbelievable growth in numbers of these agencies.  Today there are hundreds of Federal agencies maybe thousands if you count all the sub agencies, spending billions upon billions of our tax dollars and more are being created as we speak, many to regulate things the federal government has no business regulating.

This short bit of history is a lead up to a specific question relevant today. In western states much of our land is owned by the Federal government and regulated by these alphabet soup agencies, many residents of these states are waking up and questioning the authority of that ownership and the tactics used to regulate. If you read the text of the states founding documents it seems clear that ownership was meant to be temporary but history has shown governments in all cases but a very few view temporary as permanent.  Citizens standing up to theses agencies and their tactics are in today's news involving yet again…the BLM. The BLM’s arrogance along with most of the federal government has spiraled out of control in the last few decades and as our Declaration of Independence states so truly as it begins” When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary …”  Our forefathers would be livid at the power the people have relinquished to these agencies. They literally gave everything they had, their fortunes, their property, their honor and many their lives for our liberty and we are wasting it so we can avoid uncomfortable situations.

I applaud and support the Oath Keepers who have promised to stand for our constitutional rights and have been actively doing so a number of times recently and are right now standing in Southwestern Oregon. I have heard many who berate or accuse them of trying to start conflict but they have not started this and someone has to stand sometime or this country is lost. Who better to protect our rights and laws that those who have spoken and actually live out in their lives and jobs the oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign or domestic?  We are so deep into governmental control  and abuse that change has to come from many angles to have any effect, simply voting once a year is not going to change the eroding of our rights. We have to start standing for liberty and our God given rights as our Constitution affirms and we have to start with ourselves.  It is general consensus with any person with a modicum of common sense the change has to come but what I hear form the majority is “I don’t want to give up any of my comforts, let someone else stand for…”, that my friend will be the downfall of the great nation known as America. You, yes YOU may have to give up a little of your comfort to preserve liberty for our future generations.

So if you don’t want toxic alphabet soup in your life and want to know where to start here are a few suggestions:
Follow Krisanne Hall as she teaches the constitution at http://krisannehall.com/ 
Follow Walbuilders as they teach how liberty and constitutionally minded can bring change in the governmental process at http://wallbuilderslive.com
Follow John Jacob Schmidt at Radio Free Redoubt for a huge dose of common sense in dealing with the issues of today at http://radiofreeredoubt.com

Pay attention to your government and don’t let them run over you, this is a Constitutional Republic and  they are your employees, you are not their subjects. Read your Constitution, Read the Declaration of Independence and start thinking for yourselves instead of taking as gospel everything you hear on the nightly news and take the toxic out of alphabet soup by helping to put it back in the can.

God Bless America and I implore America to start Blessing God,

What happens when you poke a bee hive with a stick?

     

      Poke! Poke! Poke! Someone somewhere is always poking the patriot community and maybe because I am a common sense kind of person I just can't figure out why. Patriot by definition is someone who loves their country and will stand to protect it with all they have even to their lives. Now common sense would tell me that is the kind of person that a government would like to have as a citizen, wouldn't it? Well apparently not here in the United States. Here patriots are labeled as crazies, blood thirsty gun lovers and domestic terrorists. I consider myself an American Patriot and I can assure you I am none of those even though I am sure I have been referred to as slightly odd at times, certainly a gun owner and the only thing I terrorize are skunks and racoons when they attack my garden! My allegiance is not to a government but to a country built upon an ideal so different from any other in history that there is no comparison. A person that blindly follows a government is not a patriot but just a pawn. Being a true American Patriot  takes critical thinking, common sense, morality, work ethic and courage.  I only dream of being  the fraction of the patriot our founding fathers were.

“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who comes near that precious jewel. Unfortunately, nothing
will preserve it but downright force. When you give up that force, you are ruined. ”

“The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.”

“For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.”

“Liberty, the greatest of all earthly blessings - give us that precious jewel and you may take everything else!” 

― Patrick Henry

As parents, we can have no joy, knowing that this government is not sufficiently lasting to ensure any thing which we may bequeath to posterity: And by a plain method of argument, as we are running the next generation into debt, we ought to do the work of it, otherwise we use them meanly and pitifully. In order to discover the line of our duty rightly, we should take our children in our hand, and fix our station a few years farther into life; that eminence will present a prospect, which a few present fears and prejudices conceal from our sight.

Thomas Paine, Common Sense, 1776

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Thomas Paine, Dissertation on First Principles of Government, December 23, 1791

If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.

Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, No. 1, December 19, 1776

If, from the more wretched parts of the old world, we look at those which are in an advanced stage of improvement, we still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised, to furnish new pretenses for revenues and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without tribute.

Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, 1791

Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer.

Thomas Paine, Common Sense, 1776

Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.
 Thomas Jefferson

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Thomas Jefferson

A Patriot's Prayer

A Christian Patriot's Prayer

We Your People of The United States of America humble ourselves and pray.
Heal our land, heal our hearts, heal our souls. 

We give our lives and our country to you Lord to do with as needed to open hearts to your great love and restore the blessings of liberty, morality and justice. 

We humbly request that you work everything in our country to Your good and ask for the wisdom and strength to accept whatever circumstances may come. 

We your people of the United States of  America ask that you help us return our nation to a refuge where we can boldly stand
with our hands on our hearts and passionately say:

One nation under God, Indivisible with liberty and justice for all. 

Give us the foresight and strength to recognize and accept Your will for our country whether it be peace or conflict, prosperity or poverty, judgment or blessing.

In all things we pray that Your will be done, Your love be spread and Your justice and power reign sovereign. 

These things we fervently pray in the name of  Your Holy Son, Amen

2 Chronicles 7:14

...if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves,

 and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, 

then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Obey the "Higher Powers"?

"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God." —Romans 13:1

       Above is one scripture that is being taken out of context and being used to very dangerous ends. Many churches today teach that we should just obey the government as they are the higher powers of our nation...Really? Read your the law of the land, the Constitution of the United States and it says plainly that the people are the higher power. And the people should have only one God and one King, Jesus.

       Imagine how different lives of Jesus disciples would have ended if they had just obeyed the government of their time? Talk about a bunch of domestic terrorists! They followed only the one true God and refused to regard the political leaders as the god of their lives, they called sin what it was, sin, and they continued to point people to the true king, Jesus.

‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

Matthew 25:23

A Nation Divided

2 Chronicles 7:14

...if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

People Awaken!

 Many words could be written from today's events on this topic but Daniel Webster said it almost 200 years ago so I'll just leave you with his words:

“I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe . . . Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing. Make them intelligent, and they will be vigilant; give them the means of detecting the wrong, and they will apply the remedy.”
― Daniel Webster

If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.”
― Daniel Webster

“God grants liberty only to those who love it and are always ready to guard and defend it.”
― Daniel Webster

“If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation. If truth be not diffused, then error will be. If God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain the ascendency. If the evangelical volume does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a corrupt and licentious literature will. If the power of the gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of this land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness will reign without mitigation or end.”
― Daniel Webster

“Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world.”
― Daniel Webster

“I regard it (the Constitution) as the work of the purest patriots and wisest statesman that ever existed, aided by the smiles of a benign Providence; it almost appears a "Divine interposition in our behalf... the hand that destroys our Constitution rends our Union asunder forever.”
― Daniel Webster

“The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions”
― Daniel Webster

Deuteronomy 16:19

You shall not pervert justice; you shall not show partiality, nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.

Take Care

 
Recent statements by our politicians suggest that one small portion of one sentence taken out of context gives them the right to invade and regulate our personal lives to the point of a nanny state. Our founding fathers would be ashamed of those willing to sacrifice their freedoms for a little safety. They fought with everything they had to win our liberty from tyrants and just a mere flash in history later we have forgotten their sacrifices.

Here is the part being taken out of context:

Constitution of the United States Article 2 Section 3 

...he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, ...

I could print the whole section but it's easy enough to look up and you should read it for yourself anyway... our government including our president are not here to take care of us, provide for us, regulate our everyday lives or keep us safe! Our government was set up to first and foremost protect our rights and liberties, not dictate them to us.  God gave them to us when He created us as our constitution's preamble plainly reminds us. God gave us the most basic form of liberty when he created us, Free Will and his ultimate wish for us is to use it within our ingrained  rules of morality and justice.

It would be real easy to rant off topic so I will control myself and get back to the take care clause. Our constitution is clear who makes the laws and it is not the President, it also makes it clear who who holds the ultimate power and it always comes back to the people. That is why it is so vitally important that we educate ourselves on our rights, read our Constitution, read our Declaration of Independence, pay attention to what our lawmakers  and get back to being the ever vigilant people of the United States of America our forefathers sacrificed so much for.

Educate yourself:

The Constitution of the United States of America

Quote from Patrick Henry

From his famous "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech at 

St. John's Church, Richmond, Virginia March 23, 1775

For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom
or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate.
It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth,
and fulfil the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country.
Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offence,
I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country,
and of an act of disloyalty toward the majesty of heaven,
which I revere above all earthly kings.

Mr. President,
it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope.
We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth,
and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts.
Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty?
Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears,
hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part,
whatever anguish of spirit it may cost,
I am willing to know the whole truth;
to know the worst, and to provide for it.

 2 Chronicles 7:

13"If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, 14and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15"Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place.…
