"I Bow Down To No Man"

On this Memorial Day that honors those that have fallen in battle to defend our freedom, their sacrifice has allowed all Americans to be free men and women  I am a free man in body and in spirit and I bow down to no one.  Nor will I bow down to this illegitimate government that tries to wrap us in chains against our will.  I shall resist with every fiber of my being, any attempts by government to break my free spirit and the spirit of that of other free Americans as well. 
 
I shall not bow down to the socialists who use the government to reward those that are undeserving, with the sweat of my brow, my blood and my tears.  I shall not bow down to the environmentalists who use the government to pass laws to rob me of my constitutional rights and cry "the-sky-is-falling" with their global warming fraud.  I shall not bow down to a government that gives amnesty to illegal aliens, with the sole purpose of using my taxes to buy the votes of lawbreakers, in order to entrench their political power.  I shall not bow down to laws, rules, regulations and ordinances that repeal my God-given rights of freedom and liberty.
 
As a free man, I reject any laws that violate the sacred rights granted to all Americans by our God and our Constitution.  I refuse to abide by federal and state supreme court rulings that fly in the face of common law, common sense and that repeal constitutional safeguards.  Alexander Hamilton was right when he said:  "No legislative act contrary to the Constitution can be valid.  To deny this would be to affirm that the deputy (agent) is greater than his principal; that the servant is above the master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people; that men, acting by virtue of powers may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid.  It is not to be supposed that the Constitution could intend to enable the representatives of the people to substitute their will to that of their constituents.  A Constitution is, in fact, and must be regarded by judges as fundamental law.  If there should happen to be a irreconcilable variance between the two, the Constitution is to be preferred to the statute."
 

As a free man, hear my cry against all the laws and acts by every level of government every day of the year, that moves us ever deeper into absolute bondage.  It strips us of our individuality and attempts to meld us into a mindless collective.  It binds our hands and feet so that we cannot move in the "light" of our cherished freedom.
 
I shall fight with all of my heart and soul to stop attempts by this and future governments to merge America, the one remaining shining beacon in a troubled and unstable world, into a North American Union, or the dreaded one-world-order.   For without a free, prosperous and powerful America, the world has no chance and will descend into Armageddon in short order.  Should our power and our prosperity evaporate, or become irrelevant, or sink into third-world depravity, evil will fill the vacuum and evil will rule the world.  Just imagine for one minute that China became more powerful than the United States.  Who or what would save us then?
 
The ship of America, riding on a bountiful sea of freedom and liberty, has freed over a billion people.  Our military might makes other governments with empirical designs, think twice before adventuring into war with us, or others we protect.  We dare not let down our guard for one second.  We dare not reduce our military power to the point that other nations might be tempted to challenge us.  We dare not be detoured down the path of socialism and remove the one ingredient that makes us the most prosperous, industrious, creative, powerful and generous nation on Earth, our freedom.
 
If Americans bow down to government tyranny today, tomorrow or ever, all that was won by the sacrifices of our Founding Fathers and the colonials that gave everything to establish our freedom and all the brave men and women who gave their lives, their limbs and their minds thereafter to defend our freedom, will have been for naught.  Veterans Day and Memorial Day will eventually have no meaning.  Because to honor those that have returned from battle and those that have fallen, but then stand by and let the reason for their sacrifices be swept away in an apathetic stupor, dishonors their memory and that sacrifice.
 
As a free man, I bow down to no man or no government who would tear down the very fabric of our liberty and render us nothing more than serfs to a government fiefdom, which will eventually lead us into tyranny and chaos.  America is the world's last remaining hope and if we do not defend the promise of its freedom and liberty, we will be complicit in its demise, to the detriment of every man, woman and child who walks this Earth and looks to America for guidance and a step closer to freedom.
 
If you consider yourself a free man (or woman) and refuse to bow down to any other man, or an out-of-control government, then join with those of us that are on the front lines of freedom, because just as sure as the Sun comes up in the morning, the few of us will not be able to hold the flag of freedom much longer without the help of millions of Americans that believe that freedom, not slavery, is our destiny.   We either vehemently resist enslavement, or be wrapped forever in demeaning servitude to a headless government that has broken free from its constitutional bounds.
 
As a free man, I pray to all that is holy to wake up my American brethren and help them on the path to a free and sovereign America, before it is too late. 
 
On this Memorial day and every day, every living American owes a huge debt to all those brave men and women who gave the final sacrifice for their country and laid down their lives so that we could remain free.  As they fought and died for us on distant shores, so it is our duty to fight on our own shores in their memory, to preserve, protect and defend freedom here at home.   Otherwise their sacrifice will have stood for absolutely nothing.

"THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF RURAL LANDOWNERS"
 
The National Association of Rural Landowners (NARLO) is a non-profit corporation, duly licensed in the State of Washington.  It was formed in response to draconian land use ordinances that were passed by King County in Washington State (Seattle) in the late Fall of 2004, after vociferous opposition from rural landowners.  NARLO's mission is to begin the long process of restoring, preserving and protecting Constitutional property rights and returning this country to a Constitutional Republic.  Government has done a great job of dividing us up into little battle groups where we are essentially impotent at a national level.  We will change all that with the noisy voices and the vast wealth tied up in the land of the American rural landowner.  The land is our power, if we will just use that power, before we lose it.  We welcome donations and volunteers who believe as we do, that government abuses against rural landowners have gone on for far too long and a day of reckoning is at hand.  To learn more, visit our website at www.narlo.org.
 

President Roosevelt, in his 1933 inaugural address said, ".. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself".  I maintain that the only thing we have to fear is unbridled government.  The only way unbridled government can exist is if WE THE PEOPLE allow it.  Unfortunately, we have
