DANIEL NEW and THE SECOND AMENDMENT!

DANIEL NEW AND THE 

SECOND AMENDMENT

We like to feature some really outstanding comments made by other writers. Daniel New is such a man. He writes for his own account (you can get his email stories by requesting it), and he writes for THE LEAGUE OF THE SOUTH, which is an organization working for the rights of Southerners as seen from their perspective. Their publication THE FREE MAGNOLIA is published quarterly. The league has a Facebook Page as well.

Here is a recent story he wrote about stupid youngsters being used by the establishment to help disarm Americans for no other reason than as Titus in the Bible says, "for filthy lucres sake." His view of what is taught (and not taught) in American History classes is an eye-opener. Please enjoy his comments!

April 19th – This Day in History

Posted: 19 Apr 2018 10:50 AM PDT

Ask the average American what happened on April 19.  He doesn’t know.  And why does he not know?He does not know because history is no longer taught in public schools in this country.
Every schoolboy should know that it was on this day, 243 years ago now, that local militia Captain John Parker ordered the residents of Lexington, Massachusetts, to not fire upon British soldiers unless fired upon.
Given that much info, I seriously wonder how many Americans today could tell us what happened next.  It would be an interesting item for research, but it also might be quite depressing in the results.
History records five major events that day, although some will argue that they were all one event:

1. Paul Revere made a hazardous ride to warn the colonists that, “The Redcoats are coming!”¹
2. The Minutemen of Lexington stood up to the government demand for gun control, resulting in the death of eight men, all colonists;
3. The Minutemen of Concord stood up to the same British soldiers who had come to confiscate their guns and powder, stopping them on that famous little bridge, resulting in the wounding and death of men on both sides;
4. The Retreat to Boston by the British Army, a running engagement in which they were under fire the entire time.
5. The Siege of Boston was begun, by converging militia members, all local colonists.  General Gage was bottled up in the city, which he eventually abandoned eleven months later.

At the end of this day, 1775, British forces had 269 men killed or wounded, 19 of them being officers.  The Colonials suffered fewer than 90 killed and wounded.
More importantly, the British Crown was served notice that the American colonists, unlike any other colony in the world, had it in their heads that THEY were responsible for their own safety and survival, not the Crown, and that an armed citizenry was essential to that public safety. 
It was from this mindset of self-reliance, (plus some outstanding lawyers who insisted that Great Britain and the Crown was just as subject to the Law as the colonists were), (plus a much stronger faith in God and insistence upon the notion that the Crown had NO authority in restricting religion, or press, or assembly, or the right to petition, etc.) – that mindset resulted in our first War of Independence, and eventual victory.
And that War of Independence resulted in the Colonies becoming 13 free and independent nations, for a period of 82 years.  (Another subject, another essay.)
If your children don’t know these facts, by the Sixth Grade, then the schools they attended have failed them, and you as a parent have failed them.  Furthermore, your grandchildren will have less freedom than you have enjoyed, just as you have less freedom than your grandparents enjoyed – a fact directly attributable to the general ignorance of our own history.
There is a reason that the NEA and the brainwashing industry known as “public education” are intent upon rewriting and/or abolishing history.  It gives children “ideas” – and that is not healthy for the Deep State that runs this country.
Go forth, and teach.  Believe it or not, History is fun!  More importantly, it’s essential to knowing who we are, where we came from, and where we are going.

Movie:

Books and movies on Paul Revere’s Ride
Poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson, “The Shot Heard Round the World”

Endnote:1 “Please teach your children that he did NOT say, “The BRITISH are coming!”  That would have made no sense, since they were ALL British at the time, including him. 

The post April 19th – This Day in History appeared first on Wit and Wisdom from Daniel New.

A young Paul Revere and his fellows story-telling on the docks of Boston Harbor in the late 1700's. In the summer, boys would dive from the docks and learn to swim. There were no swim suits available in those days, hence the birthday suits

Sometimes it is a good idea to get ones head wrapped around history. Those who are ignorant of it, will suffer to repeat it..

THE BEST PHOTOS OF WINTER!

THE BEST PHOTOS OF WINTER!

There has been much talk about "global warming." It's mostly hype and nonsense. But this winter (and the last one, too, for that matter) was anything but warm where I call home. As a matter of fact, we had loads of snow, several very cold periods, and an extended period of winter. It began prematurely in late October. There was a false warm-up in January, but that was followed by more intensive cold in Feb and March. April certainly has started out with a bang!

Here we post some of our best scenes of this winter past. We hope you enjoy the photographs. We have tried our best to bring out the best in Mother Nature! Enjoy!

Here is an example of what wet snow does to branches. They are erect one minute, and bent like ancients the next moment. A day later the lace is gone and things go back to "normal!

"

Lighting in the Early Morning brings drama to Winter. Nothing like Morning Sun on leaf-less branches to bring out the stark contrasts....

Blizzards leave their own marks in the snow. The patterns are caused by swirling winds and micro areas of calm. The scenes speak for themselves!

Here on the mountain, the wind blows the powder snow around like smoke...

....and in the Valley, the afternoon shadows 

play their games!

As the Winter wanes and the Valley fogs up, many layers of moisture combine to create some spectacular scenes.

An Old Farm Pond is covered with ice.....

...which eventually begins to melt in the warm afternoons....

The mules get fed beneath the fading light.....

The Setting Sun burns the snow-covered mountain....

...and so, the winters day is done!
