Donald J. Trump is the enemy of all those who truly love liberty and cherish their God-given rights.

Anyone who bothered to take an honest look at Trump’s record before his election would have known where this would all end. Self-deluded people convinced themselves to vote for the lesser of two evils, who was ultimately revealed to be the evil of two lessers.

Those who continue to support him, in spite of his manifestly anti-liberty and anti-God-given rights agenda have made themselves the enemies of liberty and of God.

I’ve heard some say: “It’s just bump stocks, no one cares about bump stocks.” You are a fool if you don’t see that this is simply the first step in the crushing of your natural rights. Next you will be restricted from selling your own property (so-called “universal background checks”) and prohibited from possessing standard capacity magazines (misnamed “high capacity magazines” by the enemies of liberty). Eventually it will be the banning of so-called “assault weapons,” which will encompass virtually every semi-automatic rifle or pistol that you own. Trump has greased the skids and you should expect the assault upon your rights to grow exponentially.

The defenses and excuses that I frequently hear for Trump are enough to gag a maggot.

1. Well he’s better than Hillary or Obama. Tell me please, exactly what gun restrictions were imposed by Obama or Hillary?

2. He’s playing 4D chess and outsmarting all those Democrats. -- Yeah, I see, he’s outsmarting them by giving them everything they want and could not accomplish on their own.

I really feel sorry for those mindless “conservatives” who continue to follow Trump and are being played like a fiddle. Some actually seem to be suffering from the battered wife syndrome.

“Turn in your bump stocks”
– Yessah, massa’ here please take my high capacity magazines and semi-automatic rifles while you are at it, massa’!

– You are so much better than Hillary would have been; here take my shotguns and revolvers. And how about these nasty sharp knives, please protect us from ourselves, O’ benevolent one?

If my words offend, perhaps you should stop and ask yourself, WHY?

And then, WAKE UP before it’s too late. This liberal New York yankee IS NOT YOUR FRIEND!

Bottom line, Donald Trump is a combination of Barak Obama in white face and Hillary Clinton in a business suit and tie.

The Democratic Party has become a wing of the Communist Party and the Party of Lincoln (the GOP) has always been the enemy of the people.

It’s time to part ways and for Dixie to find her own way -- outside the yankee union. There is no salvation in the political system that is thoroughly corrupt and absolutely corrupting of ALL who participate in it.

2 Corinthians 6:17-18  

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Revelation 18:3-5 
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.  And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

Wearied by the Federal Footmen

At the beginning of this year the Florida legislature passed and the governor signed into law the “Sunshine Protection Act.” This legislation was designed to keep Florida on Daylight Savings Time year around.  However, this past weekend folks across the state once again moved their clocks back one hour and transitioned from Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time.

Why you may ask? Well, supposedly Florida needed the approval of the US Congress to make such a change and that thoroughly corrupt and worse than useless Congress never got around to lending its approval. So we did not have “permission.”

If Florida still had any true statesmen, we would just have maintained Daylight Savings Time WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF THE FEDERAL LEVIATHAN! We just would have said: “Florida is staying on Daylight Saving Time anyway! We care nothing for the approval of the District of Corruption.”

Unfortunately, our state and local politicians are devoid of even the smallest grain of courage. And I ask you, if they cannot stand up to Federal tyranny over such a small matter as a time change, how can we ever expect them to stand up for more important things such as protecting life of the unborn, or our God-given rights to self-defense, etc.?

The spineless cowards in Tallahassee cannot even run with Federal footmen (the infantry), so what will they do when the horses (the cavalry) arrives? I’ll tell you what they will do, they will turn tail and hide or join with our Federal despoilers.

Wearied by the footmen . . .

Jer 12:5  If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?

Why even have state and local governments, if we are to be ruled by the distant government in Washington? I suppose the local governments are farm teams to train men and women to take their part in Washington’s oligarchy against the people of the states.

And that, my friends, is why I will not vote for ANYONE running for office. None of them even understand the simple doctrine of NULLIFICATION, where local governments and states stand up for the rights of the governed and exert their self-determination, in spite of Federal dictates and threatenings. None of them care for their constituents. They serve not the people, but rather the central government.

So long as our supposed “leaders” do not have the gumption to stand up to Federal tyranny, even in the smallest of things, I see no prospect of avoiding our total enslavement. For all intents and purposes, we are already there.

In spite of all, my trust remains in a Sovereign God who works all things for the good of His chosen people!

Our politicians may lack backbone and a sense of duty, but let us not join with them in their faithlessness by encouraging them with a vote of confidence!

I STILL DO NOT CONSENT!

Don’t vote for anyone who does not recognize your rights – so basically, don’t vote for ANYONE!

This week I received an interesting email from Dudley Brown, the Director of the National Association for Gun Rights. He expressed his disappointed in Rick Scott, Florida’s current Republican Governor, who is running for the US Senate seat currently held by long-time Democratic incumbent, Bill Nelson. 

Scott sold out our gun rights earlier this year in signing the most anti-gun-rights legislation to have seen the light of day in Florida for many years. Now, in his race against Nelson, he is bragging about his ability to impose gun control on Floridians. Scott has actually done more damage to the natural rights of Floridians than Nelson was able to do in his almost three decades in Washington as either a Congressman or Senator.

Dudley points out some of Scott’s depredations:

- Signed a bill disarming law-abiding adults under the age of 21, leaving roughly one million citizens defenseless. 

- Signed a bill imposing mandatory government waiting periods on ALL firearms purchases.

- Signed a bill BANNING certain firearm accessories and makes it a felony to own a piece of plastic.

- Signed a bill STRIPPING up to 3.5 million law-abiding Floridians of their rights WITHOUT any due process.

I’m not a big fan of the compromising NRA, my favorite blogger calls them: “The largest, most powerful gun control organization on earth.” Nevertheless, the grades they assign to politicians does give some indication of how opposed to citizens’ God-given rights a politician may be. The most recently assigned grades gives Scott a “C” (which the NRA cautions is “not necessarily a passing grade.”). Nelson was assigned an “F^x”, indicating “a true enemy of gun owners’ rights . . . who requested and received the endorsement of Bloomberg’s anti-gun groups.”

Not much of a choice – so just don’t play their stupid game. Don’t vote for either.

In his email, Dudley notes: “The damage Rick Scott did to the Second Amendment in Florida far surpasses anything Bill Nelson was able to pull off, even while Barack Obama was President. . . . But as hostile as Bill Nelson’s intentions are to your Second Amendment rights, all of his efforts failed. Rick Scott actually championed and signed gun control into law in Florida. And Rick Scott wants to go to Washington and drag other Republicans into nationalizing his gun control law. . . .

hell-bent on getting President Trump and other Republicans to compromise for gun control . . . Mark my words, a vote for Rick Scott is a vote to give Chuck Schumer not just ONE vote for gun control, but several. . . . Because the next time the radical left and anti-gun media zealots bang the gong for gun control, Rick Scott will be there to deliver two, three, or four other Republican Senators to the table. . . . the only option for voters who support the Second Amendment is to sit this one out.”

Dudley goes on to encourage folks to vote for supposedly pro-gun candidates in other contests. I, however, encourage you NOT TO VOTE AT ALL. NONE OF THEM, THAT I KNOW OF, ARE WORTHY OF MY VOTE. Remember, Rick Scott was once a “pro-gun” candidate!

I do not expect to ever participate in elections again. I suspect that the next meaningful votes will take place from the roof tops.

The only time that I will even consider casting a vote again is if it is for a candidate who actually understands what “shall not be infringed” means and who OPENLY advocates for the removals of ALL GUN LAWS. [They are ALREADY unconstitutional and WITHOUT lawful standing.]

Additionally, I would only vote for a candidate who understands what interposition, nullification, and secession are and who will stand for those measures whenever appropriate.  Additionally anyone I would vote for must understand that taxation is theft and promise to work for the repeal of all taxes. I don’t see anyone like that on the horizon, and lacking that, I WILL NOT VOTE.  I will not vote for these spineless, compromising, liberty-hating, supposedly lesser of two evils. Instead I will spend whatever time I would waste in voting at the range and maintaining my firearms. You might consider doing the same.

All I ask for is that a candidate supports and understands God-given rights; and that they acknowledge that those rights are recognized and protected in the U.S. Constitution. Don't they all take an oath to support and defend the Constitution? Really, is that asking too much? They are ALL manifestly liars. Show me one that is not, and I'll consider voting for them.

https://www.facebook.com/events/386218588516754/

We believe that it is important for us to show our devotion to the principles that undergirded the Confederate States of America by making our presence known in our local community. Free Florida First advocates for a Free, Independent, Godly, Prosperous, and Traditionally Southern Florida. In essence, we just want to be free from the tyrannical government in DC (the District of Corruption) and be left alone to live our lives as we see fit.

We strongly advocate for individual liberty and a minuscule government that is truly by the consent of the governed. 

Come out to the Peanut Festival and visit with us. Buy some flags to help support our efforts, and then go home and fly them, to show your commitment to liberty and truth.

Here’s a sample of the 3’ X 5’ flags we offer for sale at the festival for $10 each or three (3) for $25.

The proceeds help us to continue our work for liberty and truth.

Stand and show your colors! I know that we intend to continue doing so, by the Grace of God!

Confederate Saint Augustine, Florida – See It While You Can . . .

My wife and I took a day trip to St. Augustine to mark our 46^th wedding anniversary, and we were also privileged to visit the Confederate monuments there before they are “contextualized” or worse.

One of our first stops was the old public burying grounds. Work is being done in the cemetery, so we could not actually enter, but many of the markers and monuments could be seen from outside the fence.

There are several Confederate soldiers buried in the cemetery, including Captain George C. Powers, commanding officer of Company I of the 10^th Florida Infantry. 

Next we proceeded to the Memorial to Saint Augustine’s Confederate Dead, located in La Plaza de la Constitution.

The monument was erected by the Ladies' Memorial Association and the funds for the memorial were raised from the impoverished local populace following the War of Northern Aggression.

Inscribed on the monument are the names of 44 of Saint Augustine’s sons who lost their lives in defense of their homes, and families, and way of life. Amongst them are several members of the “St. Augustine Blues” (Co. B, 3^rd Florida Infantry), whose distinctive Battle Flag carried the motto: “ANY FATE BUT SUBMISSION”.

These simple and moving words are found on the monument:

OUR DEAD. IN MEMORIAM. OUR LOVED ONES WHO GAVE UP THEIR LIVES IN THE SERVICE OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES.

THEY HAVE CROSSED THE RIVER AND REST UNDER THE SHADE OF THE TREES.

THEY DIED FAR FROM THE HOME THAT GAVE THEM BIRTH BY COMRADES HONORED AND BY COMRADES MOURNED.

This is a touching remembrance to young lives lost -- and yet, low-life, despicable scum begrudge us this memorial to our ancestors and faithful defenders. One particular organization, “Take em’ down, St. Augustine”, is demanding the removal of this monument, and of any and all reminders of St. Augustine’s Confederate past.

Thus far the city has resisted the removal of the monument, but has indicated a willingness to place markers to “contextualize” it. What that means is explaining to visitors how the 19^th Century residents of St. Augustine were evil, racist and white supremacists, and how the Confederate soldiers who are remembered were wicked defenders of slavery --  or something like that.

And while the “contextualization” is not yet complete, there is a marker assuring us that a correction to history is on its way.

Next we visited the monument and burial place of Confederate General William Wins Loring. Loring grew up in St. Augustine, having moved there with his family from North Carolina when he was four years old. Loring began his military career in Saint Augustine as a fourteen year old, participating in numerous engagements with the Seminole Indians. Throughout his long and illustrious military career, he served in the US Army, the Confederate Army, and then after the war in the Egyptian army.

The University of Florida manages the property where Loring’s monument is located. Thus far, they have rejected efforts to have it removed or “contextualized”, but as we all know, nothing is settled or secure when we struggle with the enemies of the truth, and those who hate our Southern history and culture.

One thing I’ve always found terribly ironic is that no one seems to be offended by the statues of a genuine tyrant and murderer, General Pedro Menéndez de Aviles. In addition to multiple statues, parks and streets are named for him throughout the city. Menéndez was the founder of Spanish St. Augustine and personally responsible for the murder of hundreds of captured French Huguenots. In some instances the Huguenots were promised to be spared if they would surrender, but were subsequently slaughtered when they refused to renounce their faith and become Catholics. An inlet in Saint Augustine, near where one of these massacres occurred, is named “Matanzas” (slaughters) in remembrance of Menéndez’s depredations.

So evidently fondly remembering a murderous, Catholic bigot is all right, but memorializing the brave young defenders of St. Augustine, who gave their lives in the struggle against the immoral and unconstitutional onslaught of northern scum, is not to be permitted.

On a more positive note, a resistance to historical revisionism remains. At least two of the local businesses that I visited unashamedly displayed Confederate Battle Flags and offered them for sale. I had very encouraging discussions with the proprietors of both establishments. I would encourage you to visit these folks if you are ever in St. Augustine, offer them your support, and send them some of your business. While I am, of course, well stocked in Battle Flags, I was able to purchase a MOLON LABE flag, which I did not recall having seen before.

VISIT THESE FOLKS IF YOU GET THE OPPORTUNITY:

And finally, one of the street musicians struck up a rousing rendition of “Dixie” when he saw us pass. Of course, you have to dress appropriately to get such a reaction, but I always dress “appropriately”, as I am always looking for an opportunity to meet fellow Confederates and to encourage them. And yes, I dropped a “tip” (and a Free Florida First business card) in the musician’s box.

Stay Southern, my friends!
