QUOTE OF THE DAY

“It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime.”

Thomas Paine

The statements or warnings left to us by the founding fathers of our once Free Republic have been ignored and twisted to a point where their memory of the great deed they risked all to achieve is now held up to be ridiculed and erased from our history .
This is being perpetrated by the band of parasites that now hold control in political offices at all levels of government . Their power increases as they plot and scheme in the shadows . Should anyone shine the light of truth regarding the real intent of their schemes the full force of government will be brought down upon those seeking and speaking the truth to the tyranny now unfolding . Sadly the system is so corrupted now we cannot trust those oath and honor bound badge wearing government minions . They to have been corrupted with a bag of goodies stolen from those victims of the confiscatory tax system . Remember following orders or just doing your job excuse was tossed out as a defense at Nuremberg .
America needs another Nuremberg however there will be a great deal of suffering and carnage before any hope of this coming to pass !

Virtue was the expected foundation of anyone who desired to seek public office. As such, it was the way the constitution was intended to function.

Where we are today reflects how small lies that began many years ago have blossomed into the political system we have today.

I teach Sunday school to kids and present the same truth; lies begin sometimes with good intentions, but in the end, two lies will be required to cover the one lie and so on and so forth, until we get to a point to where all we do is lie.

The only hope to recover from such a state is genuine repentance, in confessing our wrongdoing before God and man that through forgiveness, we can have a fresh start.

It’s a simple lesson, but the older we get, the harder it is to apply.
