I have been watching the History Channel miniseries entitled “The Sons of Liberty”,
Washington told the trio that for the time being they would have to raise, equip, and train an army on their own. Nothing really came out of the First Continental Congress as many of the colonial representatives saw the uprising as a battle between Boston “radicals” and the British government not having anything to do with their individual colonies. John and Sam Adams went back to Boston with John Hancock and set about putting Washington’s advice into practice, recruiting militia members, buying arms as they could, and pilfering the rest out from under the noses of the British army. They stored their supplies at the Concord farm of William Barrett, a former soldier from the French and Indian War. Gage found out where the arms were being stored and sent a large force out to seize the arms with orders to execute any civilians suspected of harboring or helping the militia. Gage’s “wife”, a native of New Jersey, had a sexual relationship with patriot Dr. Joseph Warren and when she overheard Gage telling his officers to murder citizens she got a warning to Warren and the militia was ready for the soldiers. About 70 colonial militiamen, the first “minutemen”, formed on Lexington Green on April 19, 1775 to oppose the British army march of tyranny. No
I have seen people call we patriots cowards, saying our founders would have already been shooting politicians over what they are doing now, but those people are ignorant of history. Our founders tolerated quite a lot, beginning in 1763, and only began shooting when forced to do so to keep their firearms in 1775. By my math skills that comes to 12 years of peaceful dissent through civil disobedience in an attempt to persuade government tyrants to relent. I have written about the situation many times, pointing out how much colonists tolerated at the hands of King George III. The murder of a small boy didn’t start the war, nor did The Stamp Act, the Boston Massacre, the confiscation of colonists homes, or any number of other acts of tyranny. The colonists repeatedly petitioned the king to relent before penning the Declaration of Independence. Ignorant people do today’s cause of liberty no good because they have no idea how this nation was formed, the steps taken for peaceful resolution, or the eventual drastic measure of armed resistance that was forced upon them. When the Declaration of
Today I see much the same situation. We the People, mainly TEA Party people, constantly call, write, fax, or tell members of congress in person what our grievances are but they ignore us and tell us to sit down and shut up; they know what we need and that we are too stupid to know what is good for us. The congressman from my district, Markwayne Mullin (Ok 2) actually told me that people like me are what is wrong with this country, that demanding to have a say is not our right. The Constitution is ignored, perverted, and violated daily by politicians, judges, and bureaucrats. Dictator obama has armed bureaucrats with full automatic weapons and trillions of rounds of
It is time for the Sons of Liberty to be reconstituted. I know there are militia groups around the country but they need some national leadership and coordination to be successful when the time comes that we find ourselves facing dictator obama’s storm troopers confiscating our guns. It WILL happen in the near future. Anyone who doesn’t believe this should listen to what obama and his minions say because they constantly say that We the People have no right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment and that he will create a “mandatory” gun surrender plan by executive order. People who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it. I hope every
Some have ridiculed me over similar articles I have written, saying I am hiding behind my keyboard trying to incite a revolution or that we can’t win. Neither attitude is true. I am only stating facts and alerting people to what the government is up to in their quest for total rule over We the People. I sign my real name and home town on every article and I live in a small rural town so can’t and don’t desire to hide. On the other point, British generals considered the colonists to be “farmers with pitchforks” yet those “farmers with pitchforks” defeated the most powerful military in the world, along with their German Hessian allies. I serve the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and his son, Jesus Christ. Our founders were peaceful men who wanted only the freedoms given them by Almighty God and looked to Him for guidance and help. I am of the same mold, a peaceful man who worships God and desires the same liberties our founders did. Don’t mistake that as cowardice. We the People can win, just as the colonists did. It won’t be easy and it won’t be without cost in money and blood but it can be done.
I submit this in the name of the Most Holy Trinity, in faith, with the responsibility given to me by Almighty God to honor His work and not let it die from neglect.
