What should be the real nature of the patriotic movement? It is not a homogeneous group with identical goals. While I cannot speak for the motivations of others, this is my ideal of the proper goals of the true patriot.
The true patriot has a concept of the ideal society properly derived from the Creator God of the universe. While loyalty to the land of one’s fathers is moral in an earthly sense, such loyalty may not necessarily be spiritually based. God granted us free will, the right to choose between good and evil. He bestowed upon us the right to seek Him, to become aware of His Divine Spirit within, and to decide whether to do His will or to follow our own devices. The choices are between light and darkness, God and mammon, worship of God, or worship of self (self-deification). The distinctions between love and hate, truth and falsity, selfishness and altruism, and justice and tyranny must be clear and uncluttered by humanistic obfuscations.
God endowed mankind with the opportunity to establish a solid family group upon which a stable and virtuous society must be based. He intended that men and women should be equal before him and in the courts of justice, but not that male and female must perforce be identical in every way. The children were to be reared with a foundation of God-knowing, God worshipping, and God loving. They must be taught goodness, beauty, and truth the the love of each other as exemplified by the precepts of the parents. They must be led to understand that while man is of animal origin, he has been endowed by the Indwelling Spirit of God, and is the only creature that is endowed with a “soul.” This is the great difference between man and the lower animals. This is what makes man the child of God. The lower animals are merely creatures of God and therefore subject to mankind as long as they are not improperly or cruelly used.
I firmly believe that the Constitution of the United States was the best example of a guide to how men should be governed yet devised at the time. While it was not perfectly in accord with God’s will, it was a huge step in the right direction, one that could have led us to the ideal spiritualized government. But now, as most men know, it is under fierce attack by the forces of the secular humanistic and socialist creed of the New World Order, which threatens to plunge mankind back into slavery and serfdom. If we continue to stand and tolerate the destruction of the right to worship, the right to retain and enjoy the fruits of our labor, the right to own property and the right to raise our children without the intrusion of the State, we are lost.
I believe that it is wrong to stand passively by and watch the deliberate subversion and corruption of the laws and ideals that were intended to permit the careful and gradual evolution of a perfect society. The following reference is cited:
“There are ten steps, or stages, to the evolution of a practical and
efficient form of representative government, and these are:
1. Freedom of the person. Slavery, serfdom, and all forms of
human bondage must disappear.
2. Freedom of the mind. Unless a free people are educated--taught
to think intelligently and plan wisely--freedom usually does more harm
than good.
3. The reign of law. Liberty can be enjoyed only when the will
and whims of human rulers are replaced by legislative enactments in accordance
with accepted fundamental law.
4. Freedom of speech. Representative government is unthinkable
without freedom of all forms of expression for human aspirations and opinions.
5. Security of property. No government can long endure if it
fails to provide for the right to enjoy personal property in some form.
Man craves the right to use, control, bestow, sell, lease, and bequeath
his personal property.
6. The right of petition. Representative government assumes the
right of citizens to be heard. The privilege of petition is inherent in
free citizenship.
7. The right to rule. It is not enough to be heard; the power
of petition must progress to the actual management of the government.
8. Universal suffrage. Representative government presupposes
an intelligent, efficient, and universal electorate. The character of such
a government will ever be determined by the character and caliber of those
who compose it. As civilization progresses, suffrage, while remaining universal
for both sexes, will be effectively modified, regrouped, and otherwise
differentiated.
9. Control of public servants. No civil government will be serviceable
and effective unless the citizenry possess and use wise techniques of guiding
and controlling officeholders and public servants.
10. Intelligent and trained representation. The survival
of democracy is dependent on successful representative government; and
that is conditioned upon the practice of electing to public offices only
those individuals who are technically trained, intellectually competent,
socially loyal, and morally fit. Only by such provisions can government
of the people, by the people, and for the people be preserved.”

Those who feel that a paternalistic government enforced by the
iron fist of tyranny is the only answer to the problems of a chaotic world
will come to judgment as culpable in helping to bring down upon us the
millennium of darkness planned by the Globalists.
