Freedom-Fighters Forum

By William J. Dell – 21 July 2010

As I write this today, I am reminded of the admonition of Goethe, the German philosopher, “Truth must be repeated again and again because error is constantly being preached round about.”

There is recorded in the Book of Proverbs the following: “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people morn.” [Proverbs 29:2]

I used a similar text for a thesis in 1968 just prior to my deployment to Viet Nam. In the 42 years since then, the situation in our beloved America, ‘the land of the free and home of the brave,’ has not improved. In fact it has deteriorated significantly. So much so that I greatly fear for my grandchildren and our Constitutional Republic. Each of us like Ebenezer Scrooge need to consider if the loss of our God-given inalienable rights to Life, Liberty and Property that confronts us today, personally and as a nation, “are shadows of the things that will be, or are they shadows of things that may be, only?” And like Scrooge, the answer is dependent on what each of us personally does as we go forward day to day.

There are those who believe that church and state are irrevocably separated. That one should not speak in conjunction with the other. Such is not the case for since earliest Biblical times where the leaders of nations have harkened unto the voice of God, they have succeeded in their aims. So it is today, wise men and women speak to the leaders of government and to each of us. Much to our sorrow this seems to fall on deaf ears.

During post World War II days, the enemy was much easier to see and define. But the evils of the cancerous ideology called Communism which confronted us then have but metastasized in this great nation of ours today and in all nations around the world. Those who support the destruction of our God-given inalienable rights to Life, Liberty and Property have become much more sophisticated in their efforts. They have recognized that freedom loving people will never outrightly accept the bondage of Socialism. They realized that they must lead them along by tiny little baby steps. They have mastered and taught their minions to be patient and use evolutionary means rather than revolutionary means.

To those who fail to see this cancer, let it be remembered that Progressivism is but another name for Socialism. Progressives are masters of renaming and repackaging their plots when they are discovered. They do this to continue to hide their true purpose – all power and control in the governance of men. They bend equal-justice into social-justice. They bend liberty into entitlement. They bend ownership into redistribution. And thus the Progressives lead us along toward their goal of the Welfare Socialist State. It is my testimony to all who will listen that the primary objective of the leaders of the Progressive Movement is the destruction of our God-given inalienable rights to Life, Liberty and Property and the enslavement of all mankind under their control in a Welfare Socialist State.

Every true American should be alined against the evils of the Progressive Movement which attack the very foundation of our nation from every conceivable angle. The Declaration of Independence and our Constitution are the foundation of this nation. I personally believe that God caused this nation to rise through the Founding Fathers and these two documents.

It is my purpose here to shake you from acquiescence for America is basically the last ‘free’ man standing in the community of nations. The Progressive Movement has virtually established their socialist model throughout the rest of the entire world. And many in this nation are oblivious to the ‘chains of slavery’ being tightened around them. Or if they are aware they choose to ignore their peril and the enslaving consequences of their inaction. If we as Americans do NOT stop the slide of this nation toward the Welfare Socialist State, freedom and liberty will die throughout the entire world for a very long time. For you cannot dethrone an iniquitous king save it be through much contention, and the shedding of much blood. I hope that we all will join in and be anxiously engaged in the fight for freedom’s preservation. For as we are told in the Scriptures: He that is not with me is against me; [Matt 12:30a; Luke 11:23a]

Could it be that the Lord is angry at us today for our indifference to the freedom of this nation which He gave us? You may say, “I’m not the government.” “I don’t make the decisions.” Recall the words of Abraham Lincoln: We are a ‘government of the people, by the people, and for the people.’ Remember the words of our Bill of Rights and the Tenth Amendment of our Constitution: ‘The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.’ I say to us all that ‘We the People’ are the government and if we do not voice responsible opinion and are apathetic, we are voting for the destruction of freedom simply by failing to “Stand up for Freedom.” “The only thing it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”

Can any true American having witnessed and being exposed to the destruction of the family and the rejection of our Judeo-Christian heritage by social-justice programs, entitlement programs, and the erosion of our God-given inalienable rights through the expansion of unconstitutional government over the past 50 years honestly say, All is well in America? Can any true Ameican who has witnessed the ‘spiritual wickedness in high places,’ [Ephesians 6:12] of government particularly the Congress, the Oval Office and the Supreme Court, honestly say, ‘All is well in America?’

If so, I recall a period in the New Testament where Christ travailed over Jerusalem because the people set at naught the things He tried to do through His Prophets.(Matt 24:37 – 39) And I wonder if on the side of a mount, not unlike Olive in Jerusalem, outside our city or Washington DC if Christ doesn’t speak like this: America, America how long will you sit by and let bigots, traitors and the like destroy your Constitutional Republic and the Constitution which was and still is your foundation? How long will you permit those who speak of your destruction and advocate the over throw of your government, the government I caused to be established, by force if necessary, to be protected by the same courts that would have deported, jailed, and put to death such persons just sixty years ago? Is patriotism so dead in the hearts of Americans that you can permit such injustice to those who have given all for Freedom in your great Republic – if so – the drums which played freedom’s beat almost two hundred fifty years ago now will play a dirge and the bells which ‘Proclaim Liberty throughout the land to all the inhabitants thereof’ shall break forth with the silence of bondage.

The evils of Progressive Movement can be defeated, but it will be a long hard fight. However remember what George Washington said, “Truth will ultimately prevail where there are pains taken to bring it to light”. This is what we must do. We must bring truth to light. We must ensure that ALL Americans are aware of the threat of the Progressive Movement.

Are we today willing as the Founding Father’s were to pledge our lives our fortunes and our sacred honor to the preservation of this great land? Are we willing to rally around Old Glory – In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children? Patrick Henry was ready: “Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. No. Give me liberty or give me death”. Nathan Hale, a poor school teacher was ready: “I regret that I have but one life to give for my country” was his only reply to the British when he was being executed for spying.

These men, and countless more since then, gave their all. Many of them gave their lives, that Freedom might prevail in this land that Freedom might come forth and grow. Are we willing to do as much to preserve Freedom in this land?

Listen to the words of a great patriot and former Secretary of Agriculture, Ezra Taft Benson: “To the patriots I say this: Take that long eternal look. Stand up for Freedom no matter what the cost. It can save your soul — and maybe your country.”

What then is the duty of ALL true Americans? We know the principles upon which this nation was established and which enable it to become the greatest nation on earth – Our Judeo-Christian heritage and our founding documents. By keeping our Constitution strong we can go some ways up the track to preserving our God-given inalienable rights to Life, Liberty and Property even though the Satanical Ideology of the Progressive Movement encircles us. For as long as we know the truth and can maintain it – we shall be free. And America, as the last man standing, will remain the beacon of hope it has been to the entire world since the God of the land, this land which is choice above all other lands, established it nearly 250 years ago.

We must fight against the corruption that is destroying our nation. We as Americans have a responsibility to future generations to:

Learn the truth.
             Know the truth.
                         Act on the truth.

And remember: To maintain the American way of life as given to us by God through our Founding Fathers and pass it intact to succeeding generations is the responsibility of every true American! How can we, who hold God, Family and Country so dear, do anything else but to stand against the tyranny of the Progressive Movement and their efforts to turn our Constitutional Republic into a Welfare Socialist State? How can we not oppose the destruction of the American Ideal and way of life? How can we not stand ‘against spiritual wickedness in high places?’ How can we not labor in so just a cause as the removal of the “chains of slavery” which already encircle 47% of this Nation? How can we not labor to restore their self-reliance and ability to strive for the American dream utilizing their God-given inalienable rights to Life, Liberty and Property.

We invite ALL true Americans to join in our efforts to restore our Constitutional Republic and our God-given inalienable rights to Life, Liberty, and Property. Once again in the words of Ezra Taft Benson: “To the patriots I say this: Take that long eternal look. Stand up for Freedom no matter what the cost. It can save your soul – and maybe your country.”

Lastly we have this promise from God: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. [II Chronicles 7:14]
