This Ain't Your Great-Great-Great .. Grand-Momma's Land



A few generations of pioneer types came over the Atlantic and risked everything for a life of liberty and freedom to succeed or fail on their own. They did not want handouts, protection or other things that would have them be in effect slaves to a system.

These people also read the classics, read critically newspapers (never assuming it was the truth) and raised a family so the legacy might continue.

Generations later have given way to a nation (no longer a federation of unique colonies/states/cultures) of sheep who love their masters (wolves)



This land no longer deserves freedom and liberty .. we have our earthly "king" and are reaping the reward (slavery) .. God will not have to rescue these people, He opted not to rescue the people He chose, Israel.

1 Samuel 8 (Bible)

".. And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.”

Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use. He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the Lord will not answeryou in that day.”.."
