Ideas of Full Liberty Getting Rare Today

Get Stoked Notes: the United States inherits everything we believe about liberty from our British roots. Unfortunately, our British forefathers had a high view of their own liberty but they had a pretty low view of the way it should be applied to thier neighbors.


The British Isles never offered full liberty to all those islands creating some confusing consequences.

As we began to apply those ideas of liberty we unfortunately had some early problems similar to the Brits we broke away from.


The northern states claimed to be fully free but if you moved there many were buying their freedom from their bosses if they could afford it.
The southern states claimed a better form of liberty but only allowed it to exist for wealthy property and slave owners.
Neither dared to consider women being free after seeing the way sisters in France rose to power by killing half of their neighbors in their new found liberty.

Martin Luther King was a call for all to extend full liberty to all not based on race or economics but by the content of the human heart. Today many rasing into power in his energy are now refusing full librtty for all regardless of sex, race or economics.

Iran’s Revolution: passing Obama by

Source: http://blatheringsblog.com/

barack obama says he’s ‘troubled’ by what’s going on in iran. troubled?? jeez. he really needs to get his balls back from michelle - if he ever had any.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says he believes supreme leader Ayatollah ali Khamenei has deep concerns about the civil unrest that has followed the hotly contested presidential election there.

Obama repeated Tuesday at a news conference his “deep concerns” about the disputed balloting. He said he believes the ayatollah’s decision to order an investigation “indicates he understands the Iranian people have deep concerns.”

But at the same time, Obama said it would not be helpful if the United States was seen by the world as “meddling” in the issue.

nk. now, iran.

why are liberals in general and The One specifically such cowards? the regime he refers to and says he’s ‘troubled’ by is shooting their own people from rooftops! it’s that very regime that rigged the election in the first place.

obama’s hair should be on fire. he should take this as a critical moment in history to speak directly to the people of iran. to say ‘we stand with you and we stand for democracy; have hope, have courage!’

nothing.

president bush said this on 1/20/05:

“All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: the United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors. When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you.”

and guess what? oppressed people believed him and took him (and us) at our word. there was the orange revolution in ukraine, the tulip revolution in kyrgyzstan, and a cedar revolution in lebanon that very spring. and then there were the democratic elections in afghanistan, the UAE, and iraq. remember the purple fingers? of course you do!

but sadly those days are over. obama is no liberator and seems to have little to no understanding of what real evil in the world is. his priorities? standing with our enemies, sending terrorists to bermuda, and being incredibly silent on pro-democracy protests happening even now in iran.

History & Development of the Great Seal

"Motto, Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God."

[Note 1: 1 A copy of this report, in the writing of James Lovell, is in the Papers of the Continental Congress, No. 23, folio 143. The original idea was formed by Du Simitière, and his own account of it is in the Jefferson Papers, Fifth Series, VIII, No. 3. It differs from the report printed above in some particulars:

In the Jefferson Manuscripts in the Library of Congress are two notes of suggestion on this seal. One in the writing of Franklin, and the other in that of Jefferson. Franklin's note reads:
"Moses [in the Dress of High Priest] standing on the Shore, and extending his Hand over the Sea, thereby causing the same to overwhelm Pharoah who is sitting in an open Chariot, a Crown on his Head and a Sword in his Hand. Rays from a Pillar of Fire in the Clouds reaching to Moses, [expressing] to express that he acts by [the] Command of the Deity.

"Motto, Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God."

History & Development of Idea

History & Development of Idea

Q: Who said "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God"?

A: "Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin." They proposed placing the motto on the Great Seal of the United States.

History & Development: the phrase was created by John Bradshaw (1602–1659), the lawyer who served as president of the parliamentary commission which sentenced British King Charles I to death. But who thought up the idea?

"[I]f the king ceases to govern the kingdom, and begins to act as a tyrant, to destroy justice, to overthrow peace, and to break his faith, the man who has taken the oath is free from it, and the people are entitled to depose the king and to set up another, inasmuch as he has broken the principle upon which their mutual obligation depended."

Q: what is a Tyrant our founding fathers opposed?

A: Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness [which] they have prescribed; To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and [that] they may rob the fatherless! And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation [which] shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory? Without ME they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand [is] stretched out still.

- Isaiah 10:1-4

(You blind leaders of the blind! Do you think that you shall escape HIS WRATH?).
