Judgment Day Is Personal
Judgment day is personal as one is judged by what they do, not by what family, friends, neighbors, or compatriots do. The Ten Commandments are not a living document allowing for interpretations or convenient changes. Example the command is honor thy father and mother, it does not say honor thy father and mother as long as doing so does not interfere with one’s pop culture life style.
One might claim that the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights are living documents solely as long that they also accept that the Constitution can only be changed with Constitutional Amendments not by independent action or combined actions by any or all three branches of government, especially federal judges.
One cannot make the claim that the “oath” to Heaven to uphold protect and defend Constitution and Bill of Rights is a living document, as it as currently administered does not include exemptions or expiration date.
Comments by one who would know better than any living American, George Washington “… containing within itself (U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights) a provision for its own amendment has a just claim to your confidence and support. Respect for its authority … The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and alter their constitutions of government. But till the constitution which at any time exists, till changed by an authentic act of the whole people, is sacred obligatory upon all.”
More silent words by another dead patriot, James Russell Lowell in 1888, ”If the politicians must look after the parties, there should be someone to look after the politicians; someone to ask disagreeable questions and utter uncomfortable truths; somebody to make sure before election, not only what but whom the candidate if elected is going to represent.”
Starting point issues for the 2008 Presidential election include but are not limited too: 1) why should voters support corrupt candidates accepting campaign contributions from collateral retail profits of criminal activities from porous Southern border; 2) do candidates support dismissing judges for unconstitutional bad behavior; 3) do candidates support enforcing Amendment I, government not respecting establishment for environmentalists’ religion Greenism masquerading as secular ideology; 4) do candidates support not rewarding treasonous like activities by public entities with tax payer dollars (cities or colleges interfering with construction of Southern border national security fence or providing amnesty zones for illegal immigrants); have candidate explain to voters why they should vote for lesser of two evils which is premeditated evil.
This writing exercise is not about asking you to serve at Valley Forge during the winter. You are not being asked to step up to Travis’s line behind the walls of the Alamo. You not are being asked to expend a great deal of energy; as even citizens on death beds have spoken up about what is best for America. All this writing exercise is about is reminding you that citizens have fought suffered and died for over two hundred years to leave you your right of free speech.
Free speech basics are: 1) start with being yourself; 2) speak about what you know and believe; 3) write like you speak about experiences and beliefs; 4) let history be your earthly judge; consider reasonable suggestions, but ignore name calling and insults; as attack insults suggest that your views have merits that cannot be reversed with truth or logic.
Final suggestion, when the choice arrives and it always does, do what is best for America or walk away. Consider basing your decision on not what family members, friends, neighbors or compatriots will think; make your choice based on the personal legacy you want to take with you to judgment day. Never forget, you might fool family, friends, neighbors, compatriots, and even enemies. Rest assured, you will never fool The Judge that is why judgment day is personal.
