Renewing the American Spirit
Patriot Week begins on 9/11 and ends on 9/17 (the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution (Constitution Day)) and renews America’s spirit by celebrating the First Principles, Founding Fathers and other Patriots, vital documents and speeches, and flags that make America the greatest nation in world history. Many of current holidays have become overly commercialized or have lost their deeper meaning. We need to invigorate our appreciation and understanding of America’s spirit. This blog is dedicated to keeping the spirit of Patriot Week - and America - alive all year long.....

Revolution! Is it Time? Was the Storming of the US Capitol Justified? Save Our Republic! #26 The Declaration of Independence holds that revolution is right (and a duty), only when there is a long train of abuses and usurpations that reveal a single object of imposing an absolute despotism on the People. The Declaration of Independence lists 27 grievances (not including sub- grievances) from 1761 to 1776. Thomas Jefferson and the Founders believed that revolution is not justified for temporary or transient reasons, or when there are other means to effect change, like elections, legislation, and constitutional amendments. The storming of the US Capitol falls short of a justifiable call to violence. #patriots #patriotweek #americassurvivalguide #constitution #freedom #liberty #americanhistory #DeclarationofIndependence #firstprinciples #history #constitution #revolution #righttorevolution #January6 #USCapitol #riots #thomasjefferson A daily series to arm you with the knowledge to Save Our Republic!

History - Freedom is the #1 Important Reason to Know It! #25 As explained by Thomas Jefferson, Chief Justice Earl Warren, and others, history is essential to protecting our liberty and the Constitution.

Cancel History! History is Dumb and a Waste of Time! We Know Best NOW! Save Our Republic! #23 We don't need history because we are totally smarter than everyone in the past. They didn't have our technology, entertainment, computer games, culture and other obvious indicia of our superior intellect. The books and theories of the past have no application to today's age. Times have changed and we can't learn any lessons from historical figures about the nature of humanity or trends in history. History is obsolete. We should double down and stop teaching it K-12 schools what little is still taught. A sarcastic episode. #patriots #patriotweek #americassurvivalguide #constitution #freedom #liberty #americanhistory #DeclarationofIndependence #firstprinciples #history #americanhistory A daily series to arm you with the knowledge to Save Our Republic!

Unnatural Law - What happens there is no Natural Law and man is unbounded? Save Our Republic #22 If there is no Natural Law, what replaces it? Man made law. When man makes the law, it can be anything. To be able to believe in anything means anything is believable. Man made law eliminates all limits to behavior and subverts the First Principles of the rule of law, unalienable rights, limited government, the Social Compact, equality, and the right to alter or abolish oppressive government. It leads to communism, Nazism, fascism, Japanese Imperialism, the French Revolutionary guillotine, genocide, and other destructive and murderous ideologies. Nature and Nature’s Law is the only guaranty to preserve our freedoms and liberties. #patriots #patriotweek #americassurvivalguide #constitution #freedom #liberty #americanhistory #DeclarationofIndependence #firstprinciples #patriotism #naturallaw #communism #fascism #nazis #frenchrevolution A daily series to arm you with the knowledge to Save Our Republic!

Natural Law - What is it? Does it exist? Why is it Important? Save Our Republic #21 The first sentence of the Declaration of Independence declares: “When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.” The idea is all but forgotten today, but Natural Law is key to the Founding Fathers' understanding of world. They not only believed in truth and self-evident truths, they believed that through reason we could discover the laws of Nature, and as such we should abide and conform to them. Only by following Nature’s Law could we establish a free and just government and find fulfillment and happiness. The First Principles of the rule of law, unalienable rights, limited government, the Social Compact, equality, and the right to alter or abolish oppressive government are all part of natural law.

Patriotism: White Supremacists & the “Far Right” - Are they really Patriots? For some, the word "Patriot" invokes images of White Supremacists, the Far Right, the Alt Right, and such groups others. Because American Patriotism requires valuing and defending the First Principles of the rule of law, unalienable rights, limited government, the Social Compact, equality, and the right to alter or abolish oppressive government, they fall outside of the definition of American Patriotism. We cannot allow the mislabeling and corruption of the word Patriot deter true American Patriots for standing up for what they believe or deter those who should be proclaiming their Patriotism to shy away from declaring themselves as such. #patriots #patriotweek #americassurvivalguide #constitution #freedom #liberty #americanhistory #DeclarationofIndependence #firstprinciples #patriotism #whitesupremacists #farright #altright
