Seven Ways to Maintain the Status Quo and Help Destroy Your Country.
Never Understand that Big $ Money, from big business, literally buys the elections for the status quo candidates, the ones who can spend millions on reelection.
Vote Your Perceptions. Never research a candidate's voting record, just accept what he says, or his party's endorsement.
Never Vote for Principle. This way, your beliefs are never made known, and you send the message that you like open borders, loss of jobs to foreign countries, and runaway federal deficits.
Always Put Your Political Party Above your Country. Did you vote for pro-life, pro-gun, pro-Constitution, conservative Bob Conley who ran against Sen. Lindsay Graham? The SC Republican and Democratic leadership both shunned Conley who polled a stunning 42% against Graham and may have won if the Republicans who had voted against Graham in the primary had voted for Conley in the general election. They held their noses and voted for Graham because Conley ran as a Democrat!
Tolerate Electronic Voting Machines, best friend of status quo politics.
Never Vote for a Third Party Candidate. This way the opposition to the status quo never gains a base of voters. Constitution Party candidates, like you, are fed up with the establishment status quo, and only want better government. More Constitution Party members in Greenville worked for Ron Paul than did Republicans.

Independence Day Tea Party
I’d like to say here today that Americans all over this land should celebrate this 233rd year of independence not by swimming or boating, or making barbecue and ice cream, or even cutting open some red ripe watermelons. What we should all do is gather together to celebrate, and appreciate, that incomparable fiber and indomitable spirit of our ancestors who bought their freedom, and ours, at a dear but necessary price.
And I know, that if you are from around these parts, then you, like me, also have buried in these green hills, ancestors that you owe your very existence too. Men like my own Hugh Reid, resting forever on the banks of the clear Keowee at Old Pickens Presbyterian Church. These hardened men of the old 96 district were Scots-Irish by birth, and toughened by frontier life; and they were already free when the first shots of
Because they were free in conscience, free in mind, free in spirit, and blessed by their creator to be free to roam these beautiful backwoods hills.
So it is no surprise that when an Englishman named Tarleton, or Ferguson, a fellow Scotsman in name only, assured them that they would be visited by “letters of fire and sword” if they refused to submit to their absolutist King who lived across the sea, that these unflinching Calvinists cried that they would have “No King but Jesus,” and did only that which duty, and honor, and courage would allow them to do.
These Rebels hugged their children, and kissed their wives, grabbed their long rifles and Bowie knives, and followed the likes of our own brave Andrew Pickens, shouting as they fought up the slopes of Kings Mountain, or held their militia line in those Cowpens: “By the Sword of the Lord and Gideon!” And the day, and the war, and their new country was theirs.
Yes, they volunteered to freeze at Valley Forge, and Burn at
And let’s not forget their grandsons who did the same. Men like my own Lemuel Reid, who met under a few shady Oaks off Abbeville’s square to declare to themselves and their neighbors, that the blood that coursed through their veins was indeed the same as that of their founding fathers. That they too would not stand for a double-tongued tyrant and mercenary congress bent on subjugating them and their state. And when those defiant Rebels yelled their famed war cry across bloody creek and hallowed field, they also proved their mettle to the world, and to history.
Oh, how they all must be spinning in their cold, red-clay graves today, as they witness what decades of cowardice, ignorance, apathy, and greed have done to their blood-bought Republic!
I say ignorant, because we have failed to remember, or even learn
“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them, will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
Ignorant because we think that voting for the “lesser of two evils” will somehow give us something other than evil.
And cowardice you ask? Awhile ago a certain American was taken to task for calling us a nation of cowards; but the cold hard fact is, except for a small brave few, we are at least acting like cowards.
For what would men like Andrew Pickens call a people who have willingly accepted the control that has been thrust upon us for a century?
And we now finally have a king, surrounded by his many “czars,” who chortles at being called a socialist. And well he should, because let me be clear when I say to you that he is not a socialist. Yes, Bush was a socialist; for how else could you describe a man who gave us the largest, most overbearing government in our history, who gave us that most unpatriotic of Patriot Acts, and a collectivist “No-Child-Left-Behind” mandate.
But no, our present Kenyan Pretender is not a socialist, for he is in fact a 100%...genuine... unadulterated...”pure T” communist. His childhood mentor was a communist; his advocate to Harvard was a communist; his Campaign instigator was a communist; and now you can’t sling a dead cat near the man without hitting a communist.
But let me remind you that it was the capitalists of
So we MUST realize that this movement is not solely about taxes, because this “power to destroy” is only a means to their end. And the end, for our would-be masters, is control: control of our lives, control of our liberty, control of our property, and especially control of our money.
And our ancestors knew that taxes on tea, and stamps, and sugar where not the primary impetus for fighting the most powerful nation on earth, for Benjamin Franklin said as much when he stated:
“The Colonists would gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other matters had it not been that
Yes, my friends, the World Bankers and their blood-sucking creation, the Federal Reserve, which is not Federal, and has no reserves, must be resisted if we Americans are to have any hope for freedom. Our LORD says that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil, and certainly their control of our Money is the root cause of our suffering today.
But ultimately neighbors, we should not blame the International Bankers either. Because there has been, and always will be Neros, and Edwards, Georges and
We shouldn’t blame Presidents, or Congressmen, or even insatiable Banksters, for men such as them have always existed, and always will exist.
No, we have no one to blame but ourselves, for the only variant of history is whether men refuse to be ruled by their oppressors, or willingly submit to them. And it is up to every generation to make the sacrifices necessary to resist the chains of tyranny dangled over them.
Yes, I know that just your being here today is a sign that many of you are willing patriots. But I want to impress upon you that giving speeches, or waving flags will not gain us back our freedoms, any more than men signing a piece of paper in Philadelphia or Mecklenburg County, or dumping Tea in Boston and Charleston Harbors could make a single colonist free.
And yes, I’m aware that many here could complain that it is harder for us today, because we are confronted with a less-visible enemy that is much nearer, but less defined. An enemy that is more advanced, and much more powerful. But let me end by reminding you that Patrick Henry also had to convince his oblivious audience of their predicament by declaring to them: “Let us not deceive ourselves...These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort.”
And it is just as imperative today that we fully understand our present predicament, and resolve ourselves to be men who will “stand in the Gap, and Make up the Hedge.”
Let this day be another day of
Let us today, just as Andrew Pickens and his mighty men once did, pledge our lives, fortunes, and sacred honor, to the cause of Freedom.
Let us cry from the top of Table Rock, and from all the glens surrounding, “Give us liberty, or give us death!”
For by the Sword of the LORD and Gideon, we too shall not be defeated!
W.J.Reid III (2009)
