"I must study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. Our sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry and porcelain.” ~ John Adams "Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself." ~ George Washington "The power under the Constitution will always be in the people." ~ George Washington "When the people are afraid of the government, that's tyranny. But when the government is afraid of the people, that's liberty." ~ Thomas Jefferson "When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil." ~ Thomas Jefferson "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." ~ Thomas Jefferson
"When the representative body have lost the confidence of their constituents, when they have notoriously made sale of their most valuable rights, when they have assumed to themselves powers which the people never put into their hands, then indeed their continuing in office becomes dangerous to the state" ~ Thomas Jefferson "Rebellion to tyranny is obedience to God." ~ Thomas Jefferson "When a government betrays the people by amassing too much power and becoming tyrannical, the people have no choice but to exercise their original right of self-defense — to fight the government." ~ Alexander Hamilton "Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace." ~ James Madison "Disarm the people- that is the best and most effective way to enslave them." ~ James Madison "The ultimate authority resides in the people, and that if the federal government got too powerful and overstepped its authority, then the people would develop plans of resistance and resort to arms." ~ James Madison

"The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the state shall not be questioned." ~ James Madison "A people armed and free, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition and is a bulwark for the nation against foreign invasion and domestic oppression." ~ James Madison "Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms." ~ James Madison "A President is impeachable if he attempts to subvert the Constitution." ~ James Madison "The very definition of tyranny is when all powers are gathered under one place." ~ James Madison "Americans need not fear the federal government because they enjoy the advantage of being armed, which you possess over the people of almost every other nation." ~ James Madison "If there be a principle that ought not to be questioned within the United States, it is that every man has a right to abolish an old government and establish a new one. This principle is not only recorded in every public archive, written in every American heart, and sealed with the blood of American martyrs, but is the only lawful tenure by which the United States hold their existence as a nation." ~ James Madison
"Resistance to tyranny becomes the Christian and social duty of each individual… Continue steadfast and, with a proper sense of your dependence on God, nobly defend those rights which heaven gave, and no man ought to take from us." ~ James Madison "The eternal difference between right and wrong does not fluctuate, it is immutable." ~ Patrick Henry "I know not what others may choose but, as for me, give me liberty or give me death." ~ Patrick Henry "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." ~ Thomas JeffersonAs I stated in the beginning, the Founding Fathers understood human nature, and human nature has not changed one iota since the writing of the Declaration of Independence. Unfortunately, “we the people” got fat and too comfortable, figuratively speaking, and we quit paying attention as evil people gained control of our government. Were it not for Donald Trump, we might still be asleep. President Trump was our wake-up call. We still have a brief window in time to begin taking back our government from the power hungry Marxists now in control. It will be a difficult task, but with God’s help we can restore virtuous people back into government. We must also re-establish virtue and restore godly principles back in a majority of our citizens. This will be an even bigger job as the evil ones, human and spiritual, have planted seeds of deception in too many of our young people. I pray we demonstrate wisdom equal to our Forefathers and stop the current absurdities before America self-destructs and takes the rest of the free world with it.

After a 55 year career as a professional pilot in the military, in law enforcement, in the private sector, and in federal civil service, I am now retired.
In many of these positions I repeatedly took an oath to defend the United States Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
