This past April I wrote an article titled, “How America Is Truly Divided.” In this post I discussed the difference between patriots and loyalist. Patriots support a government where men have rights and come together to form a government bound by law. Loyalist look for human leadership, and follow their leaders blindly.
(The following two paragraphs are taken from my article back in April.)
Very few people learn from history, but our Founding Fathers did. In the book of I Samuel, Israel desired a human king. Samuel pleaded with the people, but they would not listen. The children of Israel wanted to be just like other nations. God gave into their demands, and gave them human kings. In time these kings caused the nation to be divided into, and later both kingdoms fell into captivity.
I truly believe our Founding Fathers believed in the Bible. Proof is found in the Declaration of Independence which explains that we are born with certain rights given to us be our Creator. Ancient Israel gave up this right, in order to be like other nations. If they had listen to Samuel, history would have taken a different course. Free nations would have existed long before the meeting at Independence Hall. Our Founding Fathers learned from Israel's mistake.
Of course the loyalist left their objections to what was written above. One loon stated that once I build character I will realize that I am wrong. Well the other day I read “Common Sense,” by Thomas Paine. To my surprise he mentioned the story of Samuel opposing a king in a chapter titled, “Of Monarchy and Hereditary Succession.” So I guess this proves that some of Founding Fathers believed in God, and that honored him as the true king.
Another loon said that Samuel lived in backward days. Well it was during these backward days that kings came about, along with these backwards people who followed them blindly. Thomas Paine also made mention of this in the same chapter
Loyalist today wish for us to be like every other nation in the world. They desire socialism like the nations of Europe. Also they are just like those in China and Cuba who followed Mao Tse-tung and Castro blindly. Read “Common Sense,” by Thomas Paine, and you will discover the values of our Founding Fathers.

Becoming American
We need a king or a human governing us like we need an extra hole in the head. We need to get back to what made this nation unique in the world and became the most powerful nation in the world.
Now they want to change that?
There are a multitude of people in subjugated countries on this planet who risk death in order to come to the United States and live as a free people. Unfortunately, there are those within our borders claiming to be citizens who would do anything necessary to turn us into a Socialist, godless, Marxist, Communist, Fascist nation because they can't or refuse to believe or see what is happening. All they care about is what is in it for them.
I believe as one who loves her country I need to not only question but point out those things that I feel need to changed.
Do I not ?
I am asking here not yelling I am not mad
And Please no more name calling....... I am a Christian
Labels can be confusing I think and it may be better to see the roots of the thing first.
Any way talikng about labels is a non-issue , but many on Gather seem to like talking about it.
Then like I said the talk of labels is such a non-issue.

We can be loyal patriots.
Also Government programs and raising taxes is not how you take care of your fellow man.This is simply robbing from one and giving to another. This is not the type charity God is talking about. Charity is a choice, not a government mandate.
Anyway like I said this article was not about Health Care. It was about what Thomas Paine wrote in his book "Commom Sense," and that he used examples from the Old Testament.
I can tell you are one who seeks Government as the aswer. I see a Government, which is not bound by laws, as the problem.
My family had zip in life, and have worked for everything I own. When I was in college I got a grant to help me pay to college. Yet after school I worked to pay for my car, school books and clothes.
After college I had a tough time finding a job and was dirt poor. However at this time I sought no government assistance. Finally I found a well paying job.
So dont think I dont know what it is like to be without. I do! I just dont see charity as a government mandate.
Once again this article went beyod healh care. It was about complete government contol which you have in many coutries. It was about the danger of following political leaders blindly, and the danger of a human king who has sole rule have over a nation.
FDR wanted a new bill of rights which included the right to health care, a job, and a house. It never passed, because it is not the governments role to PROVIDE . At that time we had people in Congress who were patriot enough to know this.
As far as a revolt Obama has people in the White House who are Marxist and admire Mao Tse Tung. But I am sure you cant see that as a revolt against what our Founding Fathers gave us. Yet you think I am a man who could revolt. And here I am a person who opposes dictators and supports our Founding Fathers.
Most likely you simply was not think when you wrote your last statement,and it was strictly done out of hostility.
