Simpler days – for sure.
All that simplicity and most Americans were unaware American
Liberty had already been in the process of evaporation for quite some time. It
would behoove young Americans to listen to the sage memories of older Americans
to comprehend what has been robbed from them to have perhaps a glimmer of hope to
stop the complete erosion of Liberty. Maybe young Americans can regain
Revolutionary American fervor to regain the Liberty eroded. Justin Smith

With a Twinkle and a Smile
Liberty: The Most Divine Thing
By Justin O. Smith
Sent 2/3/2020 7:31 PM
It's extremely hard today to keep a positive mindset, when
we are constantly bombarded by so much "Bad News", from more
"refugee" ills and immigration subterfuge to the fake, evil and
manufactured wrongdoing of President Trump in this impeachment hoax perpetrated
by the Democrats. I have my own axe to grind against Trump on several issues
BUT, He Hasn't Done One Thing That Warrants His Impeachment. My God, I've never
encountered so many ignorant people in my life, as in any time or moment I make
the slightest endeavor to address the topic with some Leftists.
It's a relief, and the only time I get any peace of mind, to
simply ignore the "News" Cycle at times and let the world proceed
without me for a few hours, or even days. I take a good bit of pleasure from
viewing various artworks I am offered daily through Saatchi Artworks and from
my musical library that I find so soothing in the evenings after a long day, as
I sit with Big Ol' Sweet Mutt in my lap, rubbing his ears and tickling under
his chin.
So much has been going on these days, that I'm just now
slowing down in my normal work day, what with the Virginia rally, the Senate
election here in Tennessee, the $1.4 trillion dollar spending bill, measures in
the spending bill that add gun control regulations by way of the FBI, ATF and
DEA, Trump signing the USMCA (dammit) and so much more that has kept me
extremely busy with The Reader ... my home-base.
We all have to be more than just the politics of the
country, but just as the old adage states "if You don't involve Yourself
in politics, politics will find their way into Your life", we do need to
be aware of what our so-called "representatives" are doing in Our
names. I'd just as soon see government disappear altogether, but of course, we
need some modicum of it, if simply to keep men's demons in check; however,
isn't that an ironic statement, given that it's the demons who seem to be in
charge in most of the States' governments, Congress and even spread throughout
certain bureaucracies in the Trump administration.
One of the most divine things next to God Himself is Our
Liberty based upon our own choices and emanating from the Free Will God gave to
Us all. If only all Our Countrymen loved them both so well and would allow all
Americans the very same Rights they claim for themselves, what a wonderful
world, a wonderful country, this would be.
The youth of America need to be taught simpler Truths and
the Absolute TRUTH regarding life and how best to make it through life. It need
not be so complicated as Our modern day society has made it in so many regards,
from the finances of it all to just circumnavigating all its laws, rules and
regulations in order not to offend or end up on the wrong side of what passes
for "the law" these days. The law today is far removed from anything
remotely resembling true fairness, justice or morality, rather it is corrupted
by the very same corrupted officials appointed to police forces, courts and
other agencies, by corrupt elected officials who have been elected by a
corrupted and immoral American populace, by and large, who are much more
interested in security and the "free stuff" they will acquire from
their "Chosen One" than in holding tightly to every aspect and
segment of their own Liberty.
Teenagers today would benefit a great deal from Christian
teachings and the Word of God from the Bible above many other works deemed to
be more important by all the "experts" and learning to simply love
one another as they would love themselves, to do unto others as they would have
done unto them -- yes, to follow the Golden Rule. And when they find that special
someone, to cleave unto them and let no man put asunder what God has joined;
let no man of God consider joining a man with a man or a woman with a woman as
anything other than the abomination in God's eyes and the evil that it
represents here on earth.
A man should try to always bring as much happiness as he
can, into the life and the heart of the woman he loves. To marry or enter any
relationship for one's own happiness is a mistake at the start. And this same
maxim should be followed by women too, since very often, each of us find great
happiness of our own in helping others find happiness too.
The person we love never really grows old to us, through the
wrinkles of time and the mask of years. A man always remembers his loved one as
the exquisite, sophisticated, elegant and Beautiful Lady he fell in love with.
A woman always sees the same gallant gentleman who first won her heart, even
though the mirror may show a man who has become a mere shadow of the man he
once was. Call me a dreamer, a romantic, an idealist, I like to think that love
is eternal, when it is true and pure, it helps us all in our later years in
life, as we enjoy our children's laughter, whether sons and daughters or nieces
and nephews, and the cheery chirping of the morning songbirds, as we reopen new
pages in our last days and close other chapters.
And far from being a socialist, I do have a social
conscience that compels me to help others of my own free will where and how I
can. There's nothing wrong with giving charity to one or more or many, in order
to help lift them up out of squalor and a miserable dire situation, but it is
wrong for government to mandate it and to essentially steal the product of our
own initiatives and hard work and creative endeavors to do so.
With that said, I find it damning and a gross thing for any
man of wealth in the millions, fifty or even ten million dollars, to die
without leaving at least ten percent of such a treasure to a community full of
want and real need. We've all borne witness during our own lifetime to the hand
of beggary and the white lips of starvation, right here in America; at least I
have, during my numerous travels as a young man across Appalachia and many
other parts of America, such as Warren, Arkansas, where I thought I had entered
a Third World country and the people were desperate just to receive a single
dollar bill. How any man of good conscience and a pure heart hold that much
money in the clutch of his own greed, is past comprehension; even if he has
heirs, if they begrudge ten percent to those truly less fortunate, well then
... they are the ones who will answer one day as they stand before God.
I'm nowhere close to being prepared for certain [the] crises
I see coming in the future, not in my estimation or not as good as I'd like to
be, but I'm still not going to fret day in and day out about what may come.
I'll just meet each day with a new plan and a job to get done, and I'll find
one small thing to enjoy that one day, even if its letting Punxsutawney Phil bite me on the
ear ... now that Mayor made one fun memory for himself and many others
too.
So, illegal aliens and refugees continue to come, the Bill
of Rights are at risk and imperiled, the globalists of both parties and this President
are selling America down the river, both parties are spending the nation into
oblivion and plotting against the Constitution each and everyday and the
propaganda machines of both parties are working overtime. And in the meantime,
the Federal Reserve Bank continues to borrow and print money as though there's
no tomorrow, while propping up the Repurchasing Markets to the tune of $100
billion a day from October to the present, and all the dumbass Americans,
Leftists and conservatives alike just keep nodding their heads and saying,
"Yep ... It's a 'Great Economy'." Good Lord, I feel as though I fell
down the Rabbit Hole and Alice is screaming for "more Free Stuff".
So, I just imagine You will see this Old Guy heading to the
hills, more and more in the coming months. We vote, but even then, we are
voting in a system that has essentially been re-designed since 1913 to
make each of Us economic slaves to the government;
and "We' --- the bulk of Americans --- still somehow can call this
"freedom" with a straight face, when the Federal Reserve has been
creating bubbles and economic collapses, ever since the 1929 Stock Market Crash
to 2008, that enriches the few insiders at the expense of the American people
--- Outright THEFT by way of the Backdoor.
But I digress and have once again entered the realm of the
political I sought to flee for a moment by touching base with You, My Fellow
American Patriots, with Your own keen insights and interesting ways, Your
hopes, desires and dreams of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of True happiness.
Many of You are Wonderful, Good-Hearted Americans. I do so wish and pray that
nothing but God's Good Graces and many earthly rewards come to You throughout
all the remainder of Your days that I pray number to be at least three more
decades of nothing but happiness.
As far as I'm concerned, I wish to be in a mountain cabin or
out on the high seas, taking my chances with wind, waves, blizzards, the
elements and the sun and the moon and stars above. I'd rather die truly living
life as the Good Lord intended, than to rot sitting in my easy chair before a
computer terminal. And no matter how horrible or Good a death comes my way, I
will greet it with a twinkle in my own blue eyes and a smile on my face with a
whispered "Finally ... Lord, I'm Coming Home".
