Tuscon Trouble

Saturday J. Eric Fuller came to be the spot light of the Tuscon shooting after he threatened a Tea Party leader at a televised forum.

Trent Humphries, founder of the Tuscon Tea Party, had just got up and suggested that all discussion about gun legislation be postponed till after the funerals of the dead victims of last week's shooting. he the started to comment that he to was effected by this tragedy because his neighbor was among those who were shot. At that point Mr. Fuller yelled "Your dead."

Mr. Fuller has stated that Republicans "appeal to simple-minded rednecks." And that Sarah Palin, and other  Republican leaders, were partially at fault for the shooting. because they had created a toxic environment. He described the Tea Party as  "crime syndicate." 

He has been charged with two misdemeanors in connection of his statements on Saturday.

It is people like Mr. Fuller who have kept this wound opened longer then it should have been. Mr. Loughner  should be executed for what he did. However, innocent men like Mr. Hunphries should not have to be threatened. And national leaders of the Republicans should not even come up.

But in the wake of the aftermath what should be done?

Mr. Humphries should publicly forgive Mr. Fuller of his comments. He then should offer his help to prevent this from happening again. He should not take offence and he should show that the Tea Party is about love and not hate. This way he would deflect Mr. Fullers passion.

Mr. Fuller is just a product of passion. Passion is a good thing as long as it can be controlled. Mr. Loughner was passionate too. And so was Timothy McVeigh the man who caused the Oklahoma City bombing. Passion is a dangerous tool and we should make sure it never gets out of hand.

True Freedom

Here at Freedom's Fight I try to promote freedom. I  thought it high time that I defined freedom for you, and told you (again) how to get it. First things first, what is freedom? Pure freedom is the ability to do what you want when you and where you want. But if you think about it pure freedom is not obtainable for every one, since doing something that I want like stealing for example would take the freedoms of other people away. 


This is foundational to the philosophy of government. Governments are a group of people who said that they would give up certain rights in order to protect more important ones. for instance giving up the right to drive recklessly on the road in order to make sure other people do not do the same. 
But there are freedoms that Americans want. Those freedoms fall into three category, life, that is the right of protection against bodily harm,  liberty, that is the rights of travel, free speech, religion, and owning property, and the pursuit of happiness, that is the right to use your stuff in a manner that you want to use it, the acquisition of wealth and the right to be happy.
Governments are the defenders of those freedoms. How oppressive is it then when the government turns from defending those liberties to taking them?
However, true freedom is not found in government or people or things. True freedom is freedom from self, that is the freedom from doing wrong, from the lust that easily grab us. There is only one place you can find that kind of freedom and that is in Jesus Christ and what he did on the cross. When you find this freedom you find true happiness. Moreover it is easy to get.The Bible in the book of Romans in chapter 10 verse 9-11 says if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."


Today we protect tomorrow

The Power of the Mind

Ideas are more powerful than people. I wish that I could claim that statement for my own but really, it is the truly honorable Jim DeMint's. However, the thought is something I have come up with. Think about it, what won the American Revolution? Ideas. World War II? Ideas. November 2010? Ideas. Namely the idea "that all men are created equal and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these rights are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

That idea won a war that was against it from the onslaught and it can win another one today. Today's war is not being fought with bullets and knives, nor are men dying because of it. This war is being fought with words, pens, blogs and paper. It is, in short, a war of ideas. However, the result of this war is critical because if we lose we lost America and freedom. Stamp freedom out of America and it will never come back.

Here is the real thing though. This war can be won easily if people would start thinking. A thinking person is more deadly than a thousand enemies, and a unity mind to be feared more than your greatest foe, because by thinking you can win. Nevertheless, what counts is not the mental exercise of the head. No, it is the thoughts that are within.

What thoughts are you thinking today? What are your ideas? Only allow those ideas in your head that support freedom for all. You must not let any thought into your head that would hurt someone else's liberty, by doing so you will let freedom win. Any other thought would mean the end of freedoms.

Today we protect tomorrow.

Tuscon, a Place to Remember

What happened to Gabrielle Giffords on Saturday was horrible. Kids fight among each other when they don't get their way. Adults should not do so. We as American people must act our age. Doubtless the things this man did in his free time and the music he listened to helped make him that way. However, his real problem was he didn't give life value. Life has the highest value. Now, lest I be misunderstood, I do not mean that we should not hunt but rather that we should hold the life of another human higher than even our own.

There is no justification for what this man did. Now, however, the only honorable thing we can do is to give this man a death sentence. He devalued life and by man his life now needs to be taken. How can we truly honor those who died when we let their murderer get a mere slap on the wrist? Nothing short of his life should be required for what he did.

Now there are a few things worthy of man’s life. Some of them are when a man gives his life for God, when he gives it for someone else, when he gives his life for his country, and when he gives his life for his rights and the rights of others. War is not a dishonorable thing, when the war is a just war. War was the act that brought our nation and our rights into existence. Therefore, fighting a war for your rights and your country is a good and admirable act.

But, in order to prevent Tuscon from happening again we must grow up. Moreover, one of the ways that we must grow up is by not playing the game of politics. It struck me as odd that when a shooting happened and the man was Muslim, the news media stated that we must not jump to conclusions. But when it's a supposed conservative we hear "Those crazy mad tea partiers! See what they did!" I would ask the media to stop jumping to conclusions and grow up. And I ask you not to let them continue their immaturity but to keep them in check.  

Freedom's Fight

At the inauguration of last year, America was sleeping. The people did not care about political affairs. This put the liberty at risk of annihilation. However, they awoke in time to save their freedoms that were on the brink of extinction. They were not able, however, to stop the Obama agenda.

 Currently it is not the same story. America voted in November removing some politicians, admonition of others and telling all that they would not overlooked. What Americans did, they did well. They got involved.

Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction.” The fight for freedom must always be fought. If the people sleep then it will be gone. This almost happened to America, put the people woke up.

That fact, that freedom was almost extinct, should be an alarm to America, and a warning. If the people fall asleep again, I do not know if they will ever wake up. Moreover, if they do wake up, it most certainly will be too late for the saving of freedom. It is, therefore, the high task of every American, from the age of thirteen on up, that they should keep America awake lest it fall asleep again.  

 This being said I purpose that everyone become a protector of liberty, every man a defender of freedom, every heart warm with the fire of patriotism, every table used to spread  independence. A person who is burning with freedom’s fire is more dangerous, to an oppressive government, the all the nuclear arms the world has ever seen, a house full is enough to change the world, a country, infinite power. Therefore, let every single person in the world today act to protect tomorrow.

Who's in Charge Here?

If you follow the news, much you may wonder who is in charge. Some may say Republicans, some Obama; others suggest that it is the Democrats. However, they are wrong. We are in charge. Our government was set up so that a majority of the people could change it. The first three words of the Constitution read "We the people..." We-the -People created the government; We-the-People pay taxes to it; We-the-People elect its leaders; and We-the-People live in it. We-the-People are the government. All of this means that We-the-People must act as part of the government. Herein lays the danger: that those who serve, that is those in government, will take over and we will be the servants.

However, how do we act as part of the government? Well for starters, we must stay informed. If we do not stay informed we will be ruled and not rule. The man who you voted for in November may become your new master if you do not watch out. We must prevent that from happening by speaking up. Do not step down—you employ the people in the government. It is to your advantage that you make sure that they are good men.

Secondly, we must speak out. If we raise a din of outcry, then those in government will take notice. They will be scared since we are threating their jobs. They will obey if there are enough of us yelling at them. Finally, we must vote for people who represent us. If we do this they will be less likely to threaten us again.

If you do not do this, what will happen will be disastrous. We cannot risk it. Therefore, we must fight. Use your voice, your pen, your blog, and your Facebook. Otherwise, suppression, slavery and darkness are all that can be expected.
