Another Side

For some time I have wondering why Robert E. Lee fought for the south. When you read the biography of this man, he is a striking figure in American history. No doubt he loved his country. No doubt he loved all the ideals in the Constitution and the ideals of freedom. Why would he fight for Virginia, rather than the Republic? Probably because he knew what the Republic had become.

Scary thing when Patriots are forced into open rebellion due to the infringements of a over reaching government. Scary when your government sees you as the biggest threat. We are moving towards a place in history wherein all of our ideals of freedom will be tested. I firmly believe that this nation is in peril. I also understand that things are quickly moving towards instability and conflict. The battle lines are not being drawn in the Shenandoah valley, rather they are in our hearts. I will quote the song "Another Side" by Sawyer Brown:

I know that some things are wrong

But what gave them the right

To point their righteous fingers and expect us not to fight

To those who think the American people are too fluoridated, medically lobotomized, and dysfunctional : The majority may be asleep. For now. The unceasing minority of freedom loving patriots is rising. You will not succeed. We have proven time and again that we are willing to fight for our freedom. Are you sure you want to do this?

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Thomas Jefferson
