Texas Drifter: Three Pulpit Patriots From Past
Marshall’s Law Dateline – Only fun part of Texas Drifter suffering from part time dementia, is challenges for editors and reader deciding which side of line Texas Drifter was on when submitting his writing exercises and non-fiction short stories.
Reader should keep following question in mind while reading following: question for more learned conservative Judeo-Christian patriots than Texas Drifter. Are Moderate Republicans (RINOs) counterfeit conservatives, threatening America’s constitutional republic comparable to “false teachers” who “intruded into early Christian churches? Reference JUDE: 4 and consequences for those who believe that Heaven does not punish (national) sin. JUDE: 5
Low dollar research determines why most Democrats and ruling elite aristocratic moderate Republicans dislike, and have only arrogant contempt for conservative Judeo-Christian Americans. Initial evidence is RINOs contempt for following comments made by patriotic Americans from church pulpits.
Example One:
“When war clouds began to gather, this minister not satisfied with a written protest, informed the members of his community of his intention to resign – and that he would preach but once more. This news attracted crowds of hearers from near and far as Peter Muhlenberg, was one of the most popular ministers of Virginia. In his forceful sermon he spoke of duties citizens owe their country. In closing he said: There is a time for preaching and praying. But there is also a time for fighting. Now this time has come! In the same moment he threw off his clerical garment and stood in the uniform of a colonel of the Continental army.”
Example Two:
“Reverend Samuel Davies preached a sermon on the “Curse of Cowardice” in the same county in which Patrick was born. A sermon a part of which follows below, and which many argue had great influence on Patrick H. and Henry Clay.”
“Some cry, let the enemy come down to us, and then we will fight them. But that is the trifling excuse of cowardice or security, not language of prudence or fortitude. The present state of our country: it bleeds in a thousand veins; and without a timely remedy, the wound will prove mortal. And in such circumstances, is it not our duty in the sight of God to take up arms for defense of our country? Certainly it is; and Cursed is he who having no ties sufficiently strong to confine him at home.”
“The mean, sneaking wretch, that can desert the cause of his country in such an exigency; his country, and the blessings in which he shared, while in peace and prosperity; that cowardly, ungrateful wretch sins against God and his country and, deserves the curse of both … You that love your country, enlist; for honor will follow you in life or death in such a cause.”
Example Three:
This speech was delivered in St. John’s Church, Richmond Virginia by Patrick in 1775. Parts of speech from pulpit are as follows:
“Should I keep back my opinions at this time for fear of giving offense, I should consider myself guilty of treason towards my country and an act of disloyalty to the majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.
"It is natural for man to indulge in illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of the siren till she transforms us into beasts. … For my part I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst; and to prepare for it.”
“Gentlemen may cry peace, peace, but there is no peace. The war is actually begun. … Is life so dear, or peace so sweet to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God.”
“I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
(Readers who do not know Patrick’s last name probably would not understand why Patrick was influenced by spiritual oratory by reverends like Peter Muhlenberg and Samuel Davies.)
Seems long term interests of those seeking to destroy America’s Constitution would be better served protecting constitutional “due processes” they are so zealously destroying.
Consider brutal Texas Drifter truth: Not identifying some well known contemporary celebrity conservatives, all their optimism, combined with all the optimism in the universe will not change inevitable reality. America as established by its Founding Fathers will eventually cease to exist or die. A more realistic appropriate goal is to delay the evitable.
American patriots, like all other American writers can never become great authors. Great writers only get published in the Bible; to presume or proclaim self appointed greatness is vain blasphemy. A message seemingly ignored by America’s top rated conservative talk show hosts and other want to be cult leaders. Goal of American patriotic writers should be to selflessly inspire and teach contemporary and future patriots how to make better “free will” decisions.
Ultimate question is not “if” but “when” America’s constitutional republic ceases to exist or die. Only children and immature adults believe that America’s constitutional republic will last forever. The question that should concern patriots, is will America’s constitutional republic end before its time? Those responsible for America’s constitutional republic premature time can be left for another writing exercise.
History predicts that America’s constitutional republic will be followed by some type of empire. Possible options include following brutal anarchy; then again Americans unlike Europeans will not easily succumb to tyranny like Europeans did with Hitler’s Nazism; even if that tyranny is described by another name by another false messiah like Obama, Clinton, Bush, or who ever.
Reader’s assignment, answer initial question: question for more learned conservative Judeo-Christian patriots than Texas Drifter. Are moderate Republicans counterfeit conservatives threatening America’s constitutional republic comparable to “false teachers” who “intruded into early Christian churches? Reference JUDE: 4 and consequences of those who believe that Heaven does not punish (national) sin. JUDE: 5
