“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 Word... ’Tis but the sound of fury unleashed in the soul of tyrants, that man with corrupt words destroys 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.
