Throwing off the chains of tyranny

Happy Independence weekend! This time of celebration deserves prayers and praises to God because we are in the process of throwing off the chains of tyranny.

Think of what we experienced in the past four years. Americans have been through a worldwide pandemic, unconstitutional lockdowns, masks, coerced covid vaccinations, the summer of love, taking a knee, J6 political prisoners, transgender madness, drag queen story hour, a stolen presidential election, record inflation, and skyrocketing crime and homelessness in our once great big cities.

Where were the political leaders willing to fight for us?There was no one of significance, save for President Donald Trump.

The only man in the past eight years who put Americans first was under constant assault from a corrupt ruling class headed by the puppet President Joe Biden. They tried to embarrass him, bankrupt him, imprison him. When that all failed, they tried to kill him.

However, their efforts backfired. Instead of demonizing Trump a he became a cause celebre, gaining the attention of Democrat blacks, Hispanics and moderate whites. These rational people saw through the witch-hunts and the Kangaroo courts and began to ask ,”Why is there so much opposition against this man?”

Americans listened to the character assassination of Trump as a Hitler, Stalin or Mussolini and questioned. They saw no concentration camps, gulags, brown shirts or political imprisonments under this man’s presidency, unlike the murderous dictators the propaganda media kept comparing him to.

What Americans saw playing out was a crucial link in the chains of tyranny. It wasn’t enough the wicked authoritarians wanted to break our spirit, they tried to destroy the one inspirational figure to the patriotic people of the country.

They tried and failed. In fact, the tyrants of the left and the deep state shot the proverbial wad. In trying to eliminate Trump , they created an almost mythological figure. The image of him rising ,wounded with his fist in the air and yelling to “Fight, fight, fight!” is indelible.

Patriots know he’s only a man, but they also know God appoints certain people for the times. Trump is the man for these times of righting the American ship. MAGA loves Trump because they know he genuinely loves the people of this country.

That’s the difference between a hack politician and genuine statesman. Oh yes, Trump is a statesman along the lines of the Founding Fathers.

“Seriously Dex, you’re comparing Bad Orange Man to George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson?” Yes I am. Like these great men, Trump is a transformative figure, unmotivated by political expediency. His focus does not seem to be himself, but instead, the freedom, prosperity and security of the American people.

Like the Founders, he also risked everything, including his life, fortune and sacred honor.

In many ways he symbolizes all we’ve overcome in these last four years, which makes Trump’s re-election such an historical landmark. He is the living embodiment of that American tenacity that never quits, despite overwhelming odds.

I don’t know about you , but this was the first Independence Day in five years where peace, not worry, was my first thought about the direction of America.

How appropriate President Trump is heading the nation as it begins the year long celebration leading to its 250th birthday. Throwing off the chains of tyranny symbolized this nation at its founding and now. Happy Independence weekend!

Happy Independence Day

Happy Independence Day this July 4 2024, as America finds itself in another war against tyranny. The difference between now and 1776 is the tyranny is from within.

This July 4 marks a major signpost at the dawn of a new Presidential Election. In this campaign, however, the stakes are literally liberty vs authoritarianism .

Just read the following excerpt from the Declaration of Independence and tell me this does not apply to those interests currently in power within our Constitutional Republic:

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

The long train of abuses and usurpations Americans have suffered from current administration are many, so I will just name a few: Covid vaccine mandates over individual rights; censorship of medical and political dissent; the highly questionable 2020 election; the wide open southern border allowing criminals, and multinational military-aged men into America without any vetting; the refusal to release all the footage of January 6; transsexual men participating in women’s sports; woke politics; the constant gaslighting of the American people by government and their lickspittles in the mockingbird media; the push of electric vehicles and electric stoves onto the American people against their will; and finally, the political witch-hunt and Soviet -style show-trials against President Donald Trump.

While the colonists had no other means of freedom, except for revolution, we still have the vote. Our right to throw the bums out of office is our method of revolution.

Just a reminder, the Declaration of Independence declared to Britain and the world:

That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

May we revisit America’s founding document this Independence Day and beyond as the presidential race heats up this summer. Things are going to get downright scary as evil and amoral individuals struggle to hold on to power.

Stop watching the media. Study the Declaration of Independence, read your Bible and by all means pray for God’s mighty power to intervene against evil.

It’s gut check time. It’s time to ask if we are willing to pledge to one another the throwing off of tyranny and the protection of liberty. Are we willing to do as the Founders did, pledging their “Lives , … fortunes and … sacred honor?”

Are you willing to stand against those who would call patriotism , racist; the flag, a symbol of hate and the legacy of America, slavery and oppression? If the subversives were of other nations, the answer would require little thought. However, those who preach the siren call of anti-Americanism are entrenched in both political parties , the judiciary, bureaucracy, journalism, education and Hollywood.

The revolution we find ourselves is an information war. The is an all- out assault to influence your beliefs and to enslave your soul. As you resist, will your inspiration be the Founders and the patriots of the day ?

As you ponder these questions, happy Independence Day. May every 4th of July from this day forward, take on a meaning more than a holiday of barbecues, parades and other festivities. May it become a remembrance for all Americans of what freedom requires.
