Fwd: How much would it take?

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
What did our Founding Fathers do?
 
They signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
 
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.

Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.

Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.

Thomas McKean was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
 
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed,
and Nelson died bankrupt.

Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.

John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his
children vanished.
 
So,  would you take the few minutes it would take to send your legislators a message? 
"
Say No to Merging the U.S. & EU Into an 'Atlantic Union" would be a good place to start. 
Have a Happy Independence Day.
 
How much would it take?
 
How much would you do to save our Republic and the America we have been so blessed to be the beneficiaries of?  Ten or 15 minutes every day or so?  When enough people do just that contacting their legislators, it makes a profound difference.  Go to JBS.org, click on,  "Act Now" then "Federal Legislative Action Alerts then scroll down to the subject at hand.   Send your own message or just sign off on the prewritten one.

Judeo-Christian morality

 

Commentary By

Portrait of Walter E. Williams
 
Walter E. Williams is a columnist for The Daily Signal and a professor of economics at George Mason University.
 
Western civilization was founded on a set of philosophies that focus strongly on the sanctity of individuals and their power of logic and reason.
 
This belief led to a desire to trust things that could be proven to be true or legitimate, from government to science.
 
Judeo-Christian morality has formed the basis of most Western notions of ethics and behavioral standards. Thus, the attack on Western civilization must begin with the attack on the church and Christian values, and, just as important, the family unit must be undermined.
 
The reason why the church, Christian values, and family are targets of the left is they want people's loyalty and allegiance to be to the state. The church, Christianity, and the family stand in the way. Let's look at some of the left's agenda.
The liberal Left continue to push their radical agenda against American values. The good news is there is a solution. Find out more >>
Joe Biden, criticizing sexual assault, said, "This is English jurisprudential culture, a white man's culture," adding, "It's got to change."
 
The Western world's culture isn't perfect but women fare better under it than any other culture. Just ask yourself: If you're a feminist, in which countries would you like to live? Would it be Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries, China or countries on the African continent, north or south of the Sahara?
 
In those countries, women encounter all kinds of liberty restrictions, plus, in at least 30 countries on the African continent, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, female genital mutilation is practiced.
 
You might ask Biden what part of the "white man's culture" needs to be changed.
 
The greatest efforts to downplay the achievements of Western civilization start at our colleges and universities.
 
An American Council of Trustees and Alumni 2016 study reported that "the overwhelming majority of
 
America's most prestigious institutions do not require even the students who major in history to take a single course on United States history or government."
 
Because of this ignorance, our young people fall easy prey to charlatans, quacks, and liars who wish to downgrade our Founders and the American achievement.
 
In 2012, 2014, and 2015, an ACTA-commissioned survey of college graduates found that less than 20% could accurately identify the effect of the Emancipation Proclamation. Less than half could identify George Washington as the American general at Yorktown.
 
One-third of college graduates were unaware that FDR introduced the New Deal. Over one-third of the college graduates surveyed could not place the American Civil War in its correct 20-year time frame.
 
Nearly half of the college graduates could not identify correctly the term lengths of U.S. senators and representatives.
 
The left in our country often suggests that people who stand up for Western civilization are supporting a racial hierarchy. The fact is that the history of the world is one of arbitrary tyrannical abuse and control.
 
Poverty has been the standard fare for a vast majority of mankind. America became the exception to what life was like. That exceptionalism inspired imitators, and our vision of freedom and liberty spread to what has become known as the Western world.
 
Many do not appreciate the fact that freedom and competition in both the marketplace and idea arena unleashed a level of entrepreneurism, risk-taking, and creativity heretofore unknown to mankind. Look at the marketplace of ideas.
 
The Nobel Prize has been awarded to 860 people since its inception in 1901. The prizewinner distribution: Americans (375), United Kingdom (131), Germany (108), France (69), and Sweden (32); that's 83% of Nobel Prizes won. The large majority of other Nobel winners are mostly Westerners.
 
I might add that Japan has 27 Nobel Prize winners, but their first winner was awarded in 1949, after World War II led Japan to became more Westernized.
 
There's a reason why the West leads the world in terms of scientific innovation, wealth, and military might and it has little to do with genetics.
 
Instead, it's the environment of freedom, both in the market for goods and in the idea marketplace.
 
Rigorous competition brings out the best in mankind. Leftists and would-be tyrants find Western values offensive.
