108 Years Apart

An American flag was raised on Iwo Jima in 1944. 108 years earlier another flag was raised over the Alamo.

Both incidents have of course been exploited by those who seek whatever aggrandizement they can muster.

But they are remembered for the sacrifices made in two stands against tyranny.

I'm not gonna get into all the fault finding. All you have to do is study history and see where failure lies.

Yet, inspite of the downs, the striving for Freedom remains and rises above all else.

What these two events indicate is simply that the fight for Freedom does not stop, warts and all.

Even with the Republic in danger of collapse now, and our efforts at Restoration, we Americans need to work on ourselves, admitting mistakes and learning from them as well as the great triumphs we have achieved.

We must learn from that past if we are to have that future we strive for.

Now, if I left my thoughts at this, they could be used by collectivists everywhere.

THEY like to learn from a revised past where all is wrong and they 'struggle' for that future, a new dawn, rewriting the matrix of Freedom into a place unrecognizable to those who are working to bring back a Constitutional Republic.

I'm not gonna over define these mokes, because there is plenty online and off that can tell you about them and what they are about.

They try to use charm to add a drop of sweetness to the poison. Charm also reminds me of the efforts by boys to get in a girl's pants. After they have their way, they drop the victim like a used tissue. So it is with those who try to take Freedom and replace it with 'security' aka tyranny.

These people are way slicker than Santa Anna and Hirohito etal.

Too many who do not think are beguiled by empty promises.

That is the key.

Think.

Critically with inductive and deductive reasoning, think.

Be inspired by the flag raisings.

But don't walk away from them.

Be ready to raise your own flag against tyranny.
