What are words but the jealous rendition of man’s imagination… laid bare for the world to see. It is with words that we pontificate the ways of men, too establish governments and laws. It is with words that we build up and tear down… it is with the power of the pen that we turn swords into plowshares and redirect the power of mankind to a better purpose.
Hence, let our words speak of liberty and defend the cause of justice… for without liberty and justice, we are but prisoners of tyranny and the lesser angels of mankind. Let us exalt the rhetoric of peace and love… let us embrace the soundness and eloquence of truth… that we may all have peace and prosperity, purchased with the sweat of our own labor and endeavors.
For, the wicked speak words of deceit… looking to confuse and destroy the rational minds of our Nation with folly… foolish dreams of utopian delights… where no man need work or struggle for self, but every man becomes part of the collective, a mere cog in the machinery of the State…
Words have meaning and the words of our President cut sharply across the grains of liberty… denying our heritage and promising the foolish what they can not have… Another’s property, labor, and self-worth. These are innately the rightful dominion of the individual…not the State or the collective.
Let us, therefore, find the words with which to beat back the errant ways of the foolish… the evil machinations of a government that seeks to bind us all, to itself… A collective driven by an evil wind, the voice of disingenuous men. Freedom is not free and for the freemen to remain free they must be prepared to resist the bitter nature of mankind… first with words but never alone… words must be backed by action… or they are but sounding brass and tinkling bells, the stories of children, impetus vessels of little worth.

The pen is mightier than the sword…
The written and spoken word… are the most powerful weapon known to mankind. By them, the world as we know it is framed… Words transcend the present, reaching back in time; while, extending into the future… They travel where armies can not go… Conquering the inner kingdoms of the soul.
Words are magical incantations, in their essence… transforming worlds, creating visions and vistas, that carry men about at their will… With words, the very existence of humanity is defined and the internal compass of our destiny is managed. There are no greater tools by which men may engage their progeny… and form their heritage… than words.
So, let us choose our words wisely and guard them well… that they may become the fount upon which our progeny may build liberty and freedom…Upon which our Nation may flourish as a beacon of light in this dark world. For one good word spoken in season is better than a thousand ill-fated words… harshly given.
"The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom." Prov. 10:21 " The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment." Prov. 12:19
And there are so many more to read and ponder. " A Word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." Prov. 25:11
I would not know anything at all worth knowing, but God's Word drives foolishness from our hearts. Without God's Word man would not know how to live, and this is proven by those who are not instructed by it.
Amen Dale... well said.
And the Word went out to all the world and the world knew it not...
