I saw a Craigslist political post in Texas - it really hit me between the eyes:
"I don't care if you are Illegally married gay pot-smoking communist with tattoos and an illegitimate child adopted from your lover's wife's lesbian mother... if you are willing to fight for freedom I welcome you as a neighbor and call you a good citizen."
The forces of tyranny want to divide us and call us names - names like fundamentalist or atheist, muslim or jew, mexican or black or white or republican or democrat.
So what? United we stand - united we are - free to have our own lives... but ONLY if we all stand as patriots, fight for liberty and invoke our Bill of Rights.
The American Revolution is not an event or a memory - it is an ongoing experiment in citizen rule and human rights. The founding fathers were quite specific in mentioning often that the threat is from WITHIN, from people who by natural progression and growth of government rise into power as tyrants and oppressors of the common man and interests of freedom and justice.
Oh, don't get me wrong - I have strong beliefs that are in opposition I assume to some of yours. But right NOW I am I definable ONE way, and that means I am going to stand firm for one thing and one thing ONLY. Liberty.
I, John Hubertz, am a human being, I have unalienable rights, and I am a Citizen of the United States of America, and by law as detailed in my bill of rights - call myself and act in faith as an American Patriot.
I also believe this - regardless of who or what you are my friends... I'm not alone. Patriots? I'm one and You are too - as the Declaration of Independence says these issues involve God's gifts, our unalienable rights, and it is our DUTY to stand together to fight tyranny.
