Excellent, concise and clearly truthful article. Believing in the principles that made us a great nation and not the ever changing wind from DC’s behind can make a difference. Thank you for stating why Hope always lives and is capable of growing from the darkest of places.
One big problem I see is our two party system. You could be voting republican and still be voting left nowadays.
It still baffles me that we continue to vote for and elect people who never represent our interests.
Here in New Mexico, the ratio of smear campaign ads to positive ones is about 20 to 1. It seems tearing each other down has become the status quo.
My brother and I used to get into some pretty rough scraps with each other. Arguments would escalate to fisticuffs most of the time. The only time i remember us quitting our fights was when we got too tired to swing at and grapple with each other any more. I think our country is heading for fisticuffs soon.
Well said.
Excellent article; I forwarded it to many of my family and friends.
The concept of Free Will is a contentious one indeed. People do not have free will in the truest sense of the word.
We cannot choose to jump 100 feet into the air or choose who our parents are etc etc.
God alone has free will.
God has however given us free choice inasmuch as we are able to make decisions in our day to day lives.
Decisions to follow Him or to deny Him to prep and be ready to help ourselves and others or to choose to be lazy.
And to the authors point, decisions to actually get out and participate in the democratic process.
Pray for our country!
Our children’s lives and grand children’s lives depend on it.
This past week while reading the comments on a well known conservative website it was mentioned that the posting of the name of a very prominent left-wing adversary was not allowed. What is this? Are they making things up, or did they hit the wrong key? So I made a similar post and was told because I had written that name my comment would not be allowed. The comment section is not operated by that conservative website but by a left wing operation. Since the comments are filtered and restricted, I no longer read them.
My brother writes: “When the communists took over Russia, all they did was take over the capital, the train station, and communication center – then they declared victory, and the country fell apart and into their lap.”
The problem is more that people are in their own little prisons watching twitter and facebook, eating the processed addictive food, and generally living a pampered living death. There are no cell doors, much less any locks and they could leave at any time.
They have free will. But they refuse to use it.
Worse, when someone like those here comes in and tries to free them from their stupor, they attack us, call us names like racist or bigot or white supremacist and insist we leave them in the prison.
The economic migrants in the caravan are seeking welfare, not freedom. They don’t care about our values. And need I discuss college campuses? We are bringing in Muslim refugees that are chanting “Death to Israel, Death to Jews”.
Our liberty and the Declaration and Constitution are products of our Christianity and seeking the truth in the Bible and Natural Law (nature and reason).
What is being removed from culture is Christianity itself.
The question is not if a strong man will arise, but which or whom. Will it be a Ron or Rand Paul that wants to return to Liberty and Justice for all, or someone who wishes to provide order without law, and welfare? We are deciding that in a small way each election. For now the sides cannot coexist, and either we will return to Liberty (even if the socialists don’t want it), or we will become another secular, socialist irrelevant country.
Free Will, ah its a b*&ch ain’t it. I choose for the most part to ignore government, stay away from crowds, do what I want either on my own property or out in the country after the overseers have gone home for the day. Because of county budget cuts there aren’t enough “watchers” so I collect rainwater, add woodstove without permit or telling insurance co, stack rice, pasta, tp etc, target practice on my own property, plant unpermitted things, if detected, I simply agree with the detector and promise to do better, then as soon as they depart it’s back to whatever because they only want validation that they have perceived power over you. When watching TV, I listen to what they are not telling me, or I turn the sound off and watch the body language. I want steak but am given skittles. However I don’t have to accept skittles. I utilize reading books (before they were rewritten or banned), watch dvd’s, think for myself, take the contrarian view of things. Wave to the beggars but it’s their choice. We all get to make decisions every hour of every day on how we live our lives and we can all turn around, walk down a different street at any time, it just takes will power, good luck with that begging, and write when you find work. But they are “disinclined to labor”.
Voting is a fraud. The fraud starts with the controlled choices we are given: communists or corporatists, a fancy name for fascists. Different cafeterias, same food. Both destroy liberty. We never get a choice to change the system to zero theft and zero initiated aggression.
Take war for example. Americans have been conditioned to accept perpetual state as normal. Soon two generations will know of anything different.
NOT ONCE IN 63 YEARS since this song was written have We-the-People been given the choice of voting to ‘Stop the War’. November 6 will be no different.
Where have all the soldiers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the soldiers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards, everyone.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Good questions. Meanwhile soldiers just keep dying for bankers and the industrial/military complex.
Thank you for voting. Here is your little ‘I Voted!’ flag sticker. Come back y’all in 2 years.
MAGA! Bombs Away!
These mid-term elections will shine a light on where things are heading.
The US is about to receive 7,000 “refugees” from the South. The laws are written so you cannot refuse them, they must be heard out whether they are claiming refugee or asylum status.
In Canada since 2015, over 35,000 “gimmegrants” or welfare shoppers have illegally entered seeking refuge. They are charged, then released, most never to be seen again. These are Haitians and Nigerians with failed US visas.
You are going to get them back at some point.
The fact is, most people like their own private fur lined rut, and if you threaten that, by ideas that are new or at odds with their view of the world, they will lash out. It doesn’t matter if you are friend or family. It doesn’t matter if you are right, they won’t forgive or forget that you caused them the pain of thinking. Best summed up by “Don’t confuse the issue with facts, my mind is made up.”
The last of human freedom’s – the ability to choose one’s attitude in a given set of circumstances.
Viktor Frankl
Well said, friend. Seems to me there is a verse from Paul’s epistles that echoes that attitude.
Carry on.
I hope people here do not get their information from the alphabet news agencies or any social media. What a stupid and lazy thing to do.
And why anyone is on Facebook or other leftist sites is beyond me.
I disagree with the author since I do have free will. No one tells me where to live, what to eat or what not to buy. That idea is absolutely foreign to me.
As to the upcoming elections, I pray first and pray often. However, if the results are like when Obama was elected, I still maintained free will and freedom. One just had to be wise in daily living.
But the most important thing to me is ask God for his mercy and grace on an individual basis and all other things will work out according to His Will.
Free Will has to major resources which cannot be taken away.
God.
Knowing history.
When the Bolsheviks took over Russia creating the Soviet Union, they tried very hard to eliminate all dissidents and/or refuse-niks. No matter how hard they tried they could not eliminate them all.
The same in China, and even in North Korea.
When you know better Free Will always exists…
Please take time to read the link to Tyler Durden’s article in the post as I did.
The information that it contains will open your eyes to the many events that we are currently seeing in our country to destroy what so many have died to protect. Our United States is and has been under assault for many years. Hopefully, we will survive if more people actually become informed as to the true nature of this attack on our sovereignty.
Please read Tyler Durden’s article…..Tyranny may be in our future if we don’t survive the crisis stage.
We do have free will. As understood by most people, the term ‘free will’ means the ability to choose one’s own destiny. Even when the news is filtered, censored, and one-sided, we are still free to believe the propaganda or not to when it goes against our natural instincts to be free, to act in our own interests, and to protect our the lives and property of ourselves, our families, and our fellow honorable citizens. By ‘honorable citizens’, I mean those who prosper by means of their own work and not the money taken by force from others against their will or consent.
Aside from one-sided ‘news’, the left has been steadily dumbing down students since at least the 1960s, with great success. What percent of high school and college students understand the principles on which our nation was founded- the principles of rugged individualism, self-reliance, and the idea of free markets and free commerce between consenting citizens. That percentage has been declining since the 1930s or 1940s when socialists began infiltrating our government, news media, and the entertainment industry. Don’t believe it ? Try listening to the NBC radio program Words At War, a program dramatizing popular and some unknown books written during World War II, and broadcast for audiences during the war. Words At War is available on the Internet Archive.
After the election of Franklin Roosevelt, leftists began telling Americans that our country was a “democracy”, rather than the Constitutional Republic that it was founded as. Left-wing ‘truths’ were inserted into nearly all entertainment continuing up to this day.
During the 1950s or early 1960s, my parents, who were as patriotic as anyone, brought home a record album entitled “Our Living Constitution”. I don’t know what they thought of this album, but they probably did not appreciate the subtle propaganda that it contained- I certainly did not-, as they bought it for me, to inspire learning in me because I hated school. In school, I felt like a prisoner.
Getting back to free will, the full court press by the left started under Obama, when the mainstream news media did not allow a single word of criticism of Obama and the left, and Obama’s Department of Justice heads, Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch both knew that their jobs started and ended with protecting Obama’s whole administration from harm and from the rule of law. Political correctness ruled the day, and any incorrect talk or behavior was disallowed or penalized by teachers, professors, reporters, and government spokesmen. Er spokeswomen…Er spokespersons.
After dumbing down our whole country, and disallowing opposing opinions for so many years, Hillary was supposed to finish off the opposition- the right, the middle, and the slightly left of center.
BUT HILLARY LOST.
Proof of free will !
I agree with you, Nathan.
“We do have free will. As understood by most people, the term ‘free will’ means the ability to choose one’s own destiny. Even when the news is filtered, censored, and one-sided, we are still free to believe the propaganda or not to when it goes against our natural instincts to be free, to act in our own interests, and to protect our the lives and property of ourselves, our families, and our fellow honorable citizens. By ‘honorable citizens’, I mean those who prosper by means of their own work and not the money taken by force from others against their will or consent.”
Well reasoned.
Carry on.
Free will? I suppose we do but it seems many are making the wrong choice. In the scriptures people were given a choice and in all reality we are to.
Deut. 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Now if the prophets in the OT were promoting free will I’d sure like for someone to point it out to me. As I recall what brought God’s judgment was every man doing what was right in his own eyes. Kinda reminds me of what the famous satanist Aleister Crowley said…..Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
This country was founded on biblical law. Check out the constitutions of most of the early colonies. They took their laws straight from scripture. And the crime rate was negligible. So when did that change? It was when the men that wrote the law we now go by wrote the Constitution. Very, very, little of what they wrote was based on the scripture, regardless of what we have been taught. They were enlightened Masons and evidently must have thought they were more benevolent that the God of the Bible. How can I say that? Let me give you one example. If we had the first commandment as law rather than the first amendment we wouldn’t have a Muslim problem at present.
Exodus 20: 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Hey, what if we had Leviticus 18:22 as a law?
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
How many bakers do you suppose there would be being harassed and sued by sodomites?
Abortion? What if we had this as law instead of Roe vs Wade?
Exodus 21:22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
Know what? If that was the law almost 60 million babies wouldn’t have been murdered in their mothers wombs.
I could go on but I hope people reading this get the point. If we are going to solve the problems of this country we have to get to the root of them. I know I’m stepping on toes here and blaspheming many peoples sacred cow but things are only going to get worse instead of better when we continue to put a man made, humanistic, document above the scriptures. The Constitution worked when it was first written only because the majority in this country were not Laodicean Christians. Sure can’t say that now.
Here’a a quote by John Adams.
But should the People of America, once become capable of that deep simulation towards one another and towards foreign nations, which assumes the Language of Justice and moderation while it is practicing Iniquity and Extravagance; and displays in the most captivating manner the charming Pictures of Candour frankness & sincerity while it is rioting in rapine and Insolence: this Country will be the most miserable Habitation in the World. Because We have no Government armed with Power capable of contending with human Passions unbridled by morality and Religion. Avarice, Ambition Revenge or Galantry, would break the strongest Cords of our Constitution as a Whale goes through a Net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other

Things aren’t going so well in this country but I have my doubts that it’s because free will is being stifled. Quite the contrary.
This is a disturbing article, but it confirms many of my thoughts and suspicions, I am not alone in my thinking. And, I appreciate the comments made here. Many points to be made, but bottom line is the media is being used as a tool to deceive the masses. And the masses eagerly consume whatever is presented to them via their “smart” devices, never a thought for what is really happening. I believe there is something in the Bible regarding information during the end times, perhaps this “information” is now being used to manipulate the thoughtless? What will be the consequences? I sleep well, but remain aware of the incredibly perilous times we live in. My future is secure.
I always thought *free will” was the ability to choose whether or not to obey God. Most other choices we make have nothing to do with that.
HAVING read most all the articles on SB for many many years, this article ranks near the top in my opinion. Not only is it timely, it’s accurate and quite complete.
Spread it deep and wide folks. It nails it.
