And then one day everyone woke as from a nightmare. We hugged. We cried. We reconciled. We shunned those who would divide us. And we rose as one, as brothers and sisters, and set out to face our future. SC

UPHOLD THE CAUSE OF FREEDOM

Shades of passion, dimly cast,

Crimson shades in purple glass,

Seen through bubbled windowpanes,

Hazy shades of what remains.

Shadows of what used to be,

Softly cast in memory.

Misty thoughts of days gone by,

Reflected in a glistening eye.

Days when valor flowed with ease,

From long forgotten gallantries,

When unrestrained, we sought the truth,

Reinforced by faith and youth.

When patriotic hearts prevailed,

While selfish cravings dimmed and paled,

When reverence soared for those who serve,

And we raised our flag with steely nerve.

Shirk not responsibility.

Rest not till all who thirst are free.

Dare not give credence to the lies,

And insurrection’s alibis.

Raise up as one and join our cause.

Lift up God’s truth; uphold God’s laws.

Heed not the despot’s wretched cries,

His insurgency, and wicked lies.

Denounce the mobs who sew mistrust.

Oppose their slander with disgust.

And do not let their falsehoods be

The death knell of democracy.

Lift our banner to the sky.

Bow your backs and raise it high.

Honor those who risked it all.

Boldly answer duty’s call.

Give no credence to the lies.

Don’t dignify, don’t heed them.

Salute with pride our flag-filled skies.

Uphold the cause of freedom.

When my family faces difficult decisions affecting the wellbeing of my wife or daughter, its our choice. My family makes the decision, and God have mercy on anyone who interferes. SC

Bend over ladies. Your butt belongs to the government and Trump’s fanatical base.

Heads up!

As some of you are aware, I’ve written three historical novels, loosely based on the lives of my ancestors. I post them to my Facebook groups in serial form, one episode each day. My groups are LIFEFORMS UNITED, and Old Dry Diggin’s aka Hangtown. New members are welcome.  The photo is my great great grandpa Asa Camp, and his family. Asa was a genuine 49er, having set out for Hangtown and the goldfields in 1849.

Honest and verifiable facts are the validation of the patriot; the alternative is deception and conspiracy. SC

A government of by and for the people is not here to limit people’s choices. When people and families face personal choices, the roll of the government is to support their choices, not limit them. SC
