Are We Being Taken over By Modern Day Tories?

I'm at my one month anniversary for setting up my blog. I thought I'd talk a little about my mission. First, how I chose the name for my blog. While I was doing my research, I stumbled across a plan of Barack Obama to start a corps of translators that had as their native language one of 5 or 6 Arab regions of Afghanistan or Iraq. I don't remember off hand what they are, but he didn't mention requiring them to be American citizens or that he cared what their religion was. That scared me. Where would their loyalties lie? He wanted to call this the America's Voice Corps. I guess he would have called it the corpse, but I digress. I later discovered that there is such a "corps," but they're calling it 09 LIMA.

At the time, another patriotic site I was on was considering changing their name. I almost suggested that name for their site, but was unsure if they would risk copy right infringements and taking on the President. I couldn't suggest they do something I wasn't sure I could do. Then, I saw some one's post with their own blogspot address, and I got my own blog. The natural thing to do was name it this. I couldn't find anything named America's Voice Corps on the Internet. I subtitled it Standing on the Ramparts in honor of Glenn Beck. He made a comment on one of his shows that verbalized exactly how I felt, and still feel. I feel that, since I see this coming, I'm responsible, with the penalty being my very soul, to tell as many people as I can. Whether you listen or not is not my responsibility. I'm telling what I discover to be true.

I may make mistakes. There are people posting lies and half truths intentionally to lead others astray. I have to wonder why would someone do that? My parents valued honesty. When I was growing up, if I made a mistake, my punishment was much less if I came clean right away. If I broke something on accident and came and told, I usually didn't get in trouble beyond natural consequences....like having to pay for it. I didn't get a spanking or grounded. If I lied about it or tried to hide it, I got in big trouble. Why tell the truth if the punishment is going to be the same? That's being a tyrant. Does that sound like the liberals? They must have been raised by tyrants.

There are people intentionally trying to make us look like conspiracy theorists so the truth won't be believed. But the truth is out there. This administration didn't study Saul Alynsky to study the enemy. They admire him and have adopted his tactics. They are on the same wave length, to use 70's terminology.

So, my mission is not really to convince any liberals to change their minds. That's never going to happen. They are rabid any way. And the true far left liberals are only 20% of the country. Did you know that fascism is really far left? It's socialism. The far left has been trying to re-define it for years. They're racist so people who are racist pick up on that one fact and ignore all the other socialist policies. The far left consider them useful idiots. They'll get rid of them when they've served their purpose - overthrowing the current form of government. By the way: We have a Republic, not a Democracy. Otherwise, WE THE PEOPLE would have to vote on every single bill that comes up before Congress, and not our elected officials. That's another thing they've been trying to brainwash us with.

I want to wake up those who haven't formed an opinion yet, or don't think we're in danger of falling. You don't hear much about Russia any more, do you? I remember when Russia was a threat to us. I tracked submarines during the cold war. You would be amazed how close they came to our National waters. During the cold war (1984-1988 for me) they played cat and mouse games frequently. We had one time that I remember quite well. The first person to identify a Russian submarine contact ever got a night off. I was stationed in Bermuda, so that meant that this submarine would have to sneak past Keflavik, Iceland, past Brawdy, Wales, past Norfolk, Virginia, down to Bermuda without getting detected by any land units or any of our submarines. (Don't worry about the security of this, I signed a contract that I wouldn't discuss my job for 10 years and it's been 21 years. I guess under the Freedom of Information act, I'm OK as long as I don't divulge actual secret information, which for the sake of my country, I wouldn't do anyway.)

But, one night, my friend picked up a Russian submarine. We not only knew it was a Russian submarine, but WHICH one, because it had a bent prop, giving a very unique signature. For obvious reasons, I won't tell which one. We only picked it up because a U.S. Submarine picked it up and was chasing it out of the area. When we reported it, Washington and Norfolk told us there were NO CONTACTS in our area. That's because the US Submarine was going faster than they tell us it can go. I had a secret clearance, not a top secret. We were so convinced, our supervisors gave her the night off anyway. Remind me some day to tell you the real story of the submarine that sunk off the coast of Bermuda....the one Dan Rather reported on? Yea, right.

That story, to tell you this: Russia used to be a force to be reckoned with 26 years ago, then she fell apart. Are we headed down the same path as Russia? There are those in our government who want to turn us into Europe. We fought 233 years ago to separate from Europe. Do we have to do it again? Have we been taken over from the inside by Tories? (Tory: an American upholding the cause of the British Crown against the supporters of colonial independence during the American Revolution.)

I will continue to fight to separate us from Europe. We are America, not Europe.

Hijacking a Movement?

Well, I knew I would eventually figure it out. I've been pondering the verbal attack I endured that sent me into the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder event. I told you the nature of the beast is to go over and over and over the "conversation," or in this case the written message that she sent me. Even though I deleted it, and haven't been back to that site, it's been running through my mind on a loop, like a video tape.

I considered the poor etiquette of posting her comment into a blog of it's own .... wasn't what did it. It made me mad at first that she diss'd my military service, but that wasn't what threw me into PTSD. She made the comment the first time she reamed me out that "they" always tell every one to demonstrate with a 50 ft "don't tread on me" flag. Who are they to "tell everyone" anyway? Are they setting themselves up as dictators of the Tea Party movement? Did they self-impose a dictatorship upon every one else? Isn't that what we're fighting?

Isn't that exactly what Glenn Beck warned us about? Someone would try to take the horns of this movement and steer it for their own purposes. Well, I think I got a taste of that. I just got told to sit down and shut up, by someone on my side. Excuse me, I'm an American. I don't take kindly to that.

You see, there stems my Post Traumatic Stress. It's not military related. About now, if she reads this, she'll lay into an attack and say I'm trivializing PTSD. I had a very good friend about 16 years ago during my first attack of PTSD, when all my repressed memories first started coming forward, who taught me about this. He was from Viet Nam. I was the only person besides a fellow friend who was a police officer who could talk him down from his episodes. We were very close, I'd say as close as 2 people could be and not be lovers. If it weren't for him, I'd have thought I was having a bad acid trip. He never once told me I wasn't a real veteran because I didn't serve in Viet Nam. I'm sorry I wasn't born until 1963. I got into the Navy as soon as I could. The cold war was on when I got in, not an armed conflict. What was I supposed to do? Start one? I had the privilege of serving during the presidency of Ronald Reagan.

My PTSD comes from childhood abuse; from a manipulative, user and control freak. My warning to everyone else is to watch for people who would try to take this movement and use it for their own selfish gain. It's like Glenn said, this is not really a "movement." We as the American People are upset with the government and want to be heard. Anyone who wants to really turn it into a movement, and want to lead it, are really turning it into something because they want something. We want to change it BACK into what it used to be. They want fame. Remember what she said...."we always tell people to do it this way...." And who are you to tell people to do anything? I'm a veteran, I know how to treat my flag. I'm an American citizen, I know how to act, I don't need a parent to tell me what to do, even in a "movement," such as the tea party movement. If you think you need to tell me what to do, that makes you no better than big brother Obama and the socialist government who wanted to take our guns for our own good, take our booze, for our own good. If someone has a problem with my free speech, he can move to Europe.

Dreams of Guardian Angels

I guess it was almost a year ago now. It's so hard when it's been so long to determine the exact date. I don't remember the date, but the dream is etched in my brain as if it were yesterday. I can narrow the date down. I drew the picture in November, because I told the dream to someone on asamom.org, and they said that was just the artwork that Glenn Beck was looking for. Of course, it never went anywhere. I'm not destined for fame. I'm destined for mediocrity, for no one knowing my name, and that's fine with me. I don't care if history knows my name. I care if history remembers America, if my children have the same sort of America that I grew up knowing. We moved into this house in April, so it was after that. I think it was around July or August, 2009. So that makes it 6 months ago. It seems like a life time ago.

This battle has gone on forever. And it is a battle for our freedom. No time in history has any president every attacked our own country so viciously. No President has ever stomped on the constitution so thoroughly. No president has ever called down the Supreme Court during his State of the Union Address. So, a battle it is, and I feel battle torn and weary from the fight. Some days I have the strength for the fight, and some days I feel as if I fight alone. Some days I feel as if no one wants me to fight for them, so what's the use? Some days I'm ready to give all, and some days I'm ready to throw in the towel and just give in to a socialist Amerika if that's what everyone seems to want.

But, the dream is so fresh in my memory. I wanted to tell you about it. First, I didn't even know who Glenn Beck was. I thought he was a minor player. I thought he sometimes guest hosted other people's shows. I had no idea he had his own show. I heard he had a radio show, but had never listened to it. I didn't know he had a TV show, so had never seen it. This was before the mom show that aired, and before he called for everyone to meet him on the steps of the capitol on 9-12-09.

In my dream, there was an angel and she was bending over America. She had a broken wing so she couldn't fly. She couldn't defend America from her enemies. She was kneeling and crying with her head bowed. I felt helpless and didn't know what to do. I knew that America was in trouble if her Guardian Angel could no longer help her. The only thing I knew to do was to get every one together that I knew to pray for her. I called all my friends, every one I came into contact with, emailed, put the word out, that we needed to pray for America, and her Guardian Angel.

As we prayed for her, our prayers went up and transformed into bandaids and healed her wing that had been broken. She was strengthened through our prayers and was abled to fight for America once again. She rose up, and spread her wings to accept the bandaids, and that's when I awoke from my dream.

When I drew the picture, I placed 7 people praying for her because 7 is God's number. It was after I drew this picture that my son came to me and asked me to ask for prayer bells across America. I don't know how to do that. But the sentiment is the same. My son is 19 and Down Syndrome and autistic. I wish I could give him prayer bells across America, but I know we need to pray for America. Our prayers are the only thing that will heal the damage that this administration has done. There is a darkness that has taken hold of the White House. Obama can talk until he's blue in the face about his faith, but I will never believe it. His faith is not in my God. If it were, he would not be talking of the Muslims as "misbehaving." He would be calling terrorists what they are....terrorists. He would not be denying that this country is a God-based country. He would not be pushing a gay agenda. His lifestyle belies his true faith.

I emailed this dream to a clown friend of mine, because I thought it would make a great skit, and because it felt prophetic. I didn't want to tell anyone it felt prophetic....I don't want to feel like a nut... They didn't acknowledge me. But it's out there that I did it. They have been emailing me conservative stuff, when they're Democrats. Maybe it woke them up. I don't know. I know that the people in office aren't Democrats, but socialists and it scares me. I know Democrats that died for their country. This is not about party. This is about America. Bill Clinton didn't try to destroy America, or at least not this fast.

Please, anyone who reads this, or stumbles upon this site, Pray for America and her Guardian Angel.
