Freedom-Fighters Forum

By Neil Montague

In an effort to restore the covenant our Founders made with God, that He will be our God and we will be His people, there is an open invitation towards all people to dedicate May 17th as a day of humiliation, fasting, and prayer for our forgiveness as individuals and as a people and to seek God’s grace and light to bless our nation.

In March of 1776, the Second Continental Congress dedicated March 17th of that year as a day of humiliation, fasting, and prayer for that specific purpose. To prepare themselves for the American Revolution and to ask for God’s aid in protection from the British. They did this that “we may, with united hearts, confess and bewail our manifold sins and transgressions, and, by a sincere repentance and amendment of life, appease his righteous displeasure, and, through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ, obtain his pardon and forgiveness; humbly imploring his assistance to frustrate the cruel purposes of our unnatural enemies; and by inclining their hearts to justice and benevolence, prevent the further effusion of kindred blood.”

Only Months afterwards, they signed the Declaration of Independence, separating ourselves from Great Britain forever, and went down the road to establish a Free Republic.

With all of my heart, I invite you to mark May 17th on your calendar as a day of humiliation, fasting, and prayer. I encourage you to spread the word online and in your Churches. The problems facing our nation are too great for any one President to repair. But God can do all things.

We are a proud nation. We need to humble ourselves, or God will make us humble. That’s the only way our problems can be fixed. Please join me.

Democracy….an interesting view into history

In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior:

“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship.”

“The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.”

“Apparently, I’m supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack Obama does with mine.”

It just occurred to me…

With all the noise the media is making about Romney’s wealth, I don’t recall such bluster and hand-wringing over the Kennedy fortune. Or, for that matter, John Kerry. Or the fact that John Kerry gave virtually nothing to charity while Romney gave something on the order of $4 million…in addition to his entire inheritance from his father.

Oh. Wait. I just remembered. Romney is Republican. Kerry and the Kennedys are Democrats. Also, Romney worked for his money. Kennedy inherited his. And Kerry married it.

Never mind. Nothing to see here folks. Move along.

Amore Dei, Familiae, Patriae ducit !

Once there were four patriots who lived side by side. Their names were Fred Somebody, Thomas Everybody, Pete Anybody and Joe Nobody. They were not like you and me. They were very odd people indeed and it was hard to understand them. The way they cared about their Liberty and Freedoms was a shame and Everybody knew it.

It seems that Everybody was too busy with work to be concerned about the government. Somebody was usually busy following major league and college sports. Anybody was busily involved with watching reality TV and his recreational activities and just couldn’t be bothered. So, Nobody got involved.

Throughout the nation people were needed to work on the issues of Liberty and Freedom. Everybody thought that Anybody would have the time but Somebody wouldn’t do it. So guess who finally did it? That’s right Nobody!

There was an important meeting to attend because an unpopular [City, County, State or National] issue was on the agenda. Everybody knew it was his responsibility to attend and Anybody
