“How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!” quote, Samuel Adams.
Words have meaning… but never so clear that a tyrant can not subvert and convert them to his purpose. Hence, for justice to prevail, a MORAL people must hold the heads of justice accountable for their words.
A harsh Word... ’Tis but the sound of fury unleashed in the soul of tyrants, that men with corrupt minds destroy the community of mankind; and with the tongue sets afire, civilization, bringing captive millions." quote, Nelson
Words, steeped with ill will... sooner beget terror in the hearts of men than a sword. For with steel, men are dispatched and soon forgotten, but with words, history is written and rewritten, defining the very soul of men and nations.
Our judicial system has become the harbinger of illiteracy… spurning common sense and the direct meaning of WORDS. At will, the judicial tyrant rages, his words to twist the souls of men; bantering about the meaning of words, these despots spin a web of deceit, trapping the common good with gobbledygook.
The wicked restrain justice and impale the righteous with words. It is time to restore common sense to the rhetoric of men. Justice is best served when the lexicon of man is firmly established and honored by all. Justices and men of high rank need to be clear in their language so that one will not misunderstand their point. However, the despot thinks to deceive with words and his entendre, keeping the very root of his purpose and meaning hidden from the public and common speech.
Let the lawyers be chastened and the twisted metaphor be made clear… words have meaning and they dare not change, that history may remain true to the facts and the laws of men stable in their application. Words have in them the eternal power of creation; they are the window of the soul. If only the powerful would listen, they may discover that they are naked and bereft of their mantle of moral authority and the nobility of their Creator.
The poltical class has become so estranged from the common man... that they rarely interpret his needs and desires properly… they now dangerously toy with the essence of our nation's soul and wonder why the masses appear in open revolt… against the old guard.
Propaganda works… for a while and only a while—but once it is exposed, like Humpty Dumpty, it can never be put back together again, no matter how hard all the King's men and all the King's Horses try.
America, the dream … is so fragile I fear it won’t see another winter. So tenuous is our Republic that it can barely be whispered for fear that it may shatter. Yet, our leaders feed themselves with great regalia, clothe themselves with all the pomp and power that once held hope for a better world, and spoke peace to the nations.
No more… Nay… no more! The wicked have toppled the righteous, and up is now down and down… up. Our leaders are more interested in securing their power than lifting the hopeless from their burden or leading the lost to newfound enterprise. No, the American dream is fading fast, and in its twilight, we can yet hear our forefathers calling us to stay the course, hold fast to our past, and live righteously under the hand of God.

I don't need to see their answer before grading their exam.
But, Ask the Plumber. He knows.
Ask the Farmer. He knows.
Ask the mechanic. He knows.
Exactly... remember how Satan tempted Eve with the twisting of God's words... He hasn't changed... He's sticking to what he knows works.
It IS the same. Wish the church would wake up.
And the world heard the call to love their neighbor, only to respond with a bitter wind, harsh words, and troubled waters. Ripping apart the body of mankind....
With harsh words and troubled seas, man sows the seeds of his destruction with irrational abandon. The tongue is an unruly member of the body. With it, man builds up and tears down. The man who controls his tongue commands his environment.
Bump... a word in time is better than mountains of books late to the debate...
With words, man builds his house and furnishes the temples of his power... With words, he creates governments and builds cities of great wealth... only to tear them down with a bitter tongue, and a perverse mouth.
Therefore, let the rhetoric of our conversation be ordered aright... Let our words glorify God and lift the soul of mankind ... Let us embrace the better angels of our divine nature with patience and charity that all men may live in peace.
Too, forgive is better than to condemn ... Where repentance is sincere, mercy is near... Where love and grace abound, righteousness is found...
Therefore, be merciful and ye shall receive mercy... Let Grace have her perfect work that ye may be perfect.
The winds of adversity continue their course of calamity and harsh judgment... In the halls of mankind's government, the wicked divide the people and raid their storehouses... leaving them naked in the coming storm. Those promising reforms need reforming.
Who will stand with the poor, the newly indigent, the candlestick maker, and the baker, with our neighbor and children? Who will guarantee their future and their security... Will it be those who forged the chains of a new Feudal Order... or will the People finally recognize the true enemy of their posterity and liberty?
