Literally speaking we need introductions. We require an introduction to each other for a wise and purposeful collection of our talents, whatever they be. If you are anything like me then you have a solid sense of decency. You want to protect your loved ones. You have pride in your nation's accomplishments and are ashamed of our nation's corruptions. You accept that failure is part of life but that we should learn from it and move on to the honest tasks of improvement. If you are anything like me you find that political parties are patronage groups before anything else. Yes, we attach causes and ideals to these groups but we find ourselves having to make excuses for the excessive indulgence in the public coffers of those in positions that should be humble public servants.

On the many pages of Townhall and those of other blog sites we find opinions and sources which will pass between us and we'll either agree or not. We will either praise or insult. We will either learn or consider our counterarguments and not the posted point. Like all things in nature, man can let it grown wild or he can give it order.

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you all. I will express what is on my mind and it is my hope we can work together in moving from discussion to an ordered action. We are engaged in a great Civil War. On one side is mankind dedicated to servitude. We are dedicated to ideas that again must be tested for their endurance. Can freedom, decency, tolerance and ingenuity endure against the enemy that enslaves, debases, hates and subdues the will. We are a people bound to principles that allows the individual to flourish and has since the birth of our nation struggled when common ground must be accepted by Americans.

In our fight with Mexico we had the poets of Walden Pond who abstained from that fight. During the Civil War we obviously had traditional plantation society fighting for their way of life against the modern industrial society. When we fought Spain there were those who argued against Imperialism as some form of European sickness. WWI had communists, pacifists and Western Hemespherists who argued against our involvement. During WWII we again wanted to stay out of Europe's wars. I don't need to rehash the Vietnam Era. It stands on us today to either gather our American spirit and fight the good fight against those who again mean our destruction.

But, this is all preaching to the choir. The question I now pose to those who might read this is, how can we, in practicing traditional American values (democracy, civil liberty, self defense and individual ingenuity) organize an effective assault against our enemies?

We must meet. We must organize. We must work and we must fight. If not, one day Mount Rushmore will be the mountain whose busts are blown to bits.
Redemption costs something, what will we pay?
