A Restoration of Piety, Part II

“Michelle Obama is back on the campaign trail….. The other day, she thundered, ‘Will we be a country that tells folks who’ve done everything right but are struggling to get by, "Tough luck, you’re on your own”? Is that who we are?’“
(–as quoted in a recent article by historian Victor Davis Hanson)

Thundering your opinion or belittling your neighbor never makes one’s opinion true, but it can hide the inherent insecurity of placing your faith in the wrong object.

Mr. and Mrs. Obama, you have pledged to fundamentally transform America. So we must answer your question, "Who are we?”

We are:

  • Children of light … not offspring of evil
  • Sons of liberty … not slaves of despotism
  • Productive citizens … not chronically dependent
  • Good and Wise … not passionately ignorant
  • Self-Educated in the essentials of liberty … not mastered by charlatans
  • Ruled by Law … not coerced by political whim
  • Those who leave our place better than we find it … not those who defile & corrupt
  • Peacemakers … not agitators
  • Those who stand against evil … not the uncivil and barbaric
  • Those who love life … not those who promote death
  • Believers in Truth and Right … not falsely pious
  • Those Who Get it right … not keep doing it wrong
  • Those who live in their means … not the pretentious or self-flattering
  • Principled people … not amoral power brokers
  • Independent and self-reliant … not victims looking for bailouts
  • Property owners … not subsidized servants
  • Those who love and give from the heart … not those who need an agency to care
  • Those who applaud & appreciate achievement … not the covetous and envious
  • The Children of Obedience … not those who will not trust in God

That’s who we are Mr. and Mrs. Obama. We are Americans. You, like everyone else who wants to abide by the rule of law and be bound by our constitution, are welcome to come join us at the table of liberty. We will not come to you.
