When I was growing up, my parents owned a store in the tiny town that shared our zip code. Dad sold guns, ammo, tack, grain, used furniture and whatever else happened to come in to the “Horse Trader”. He also sold hunting and fishing licenses and was the town’s only UPS drop. Although the Horse Trader filled a niche in the local economy, perhaps its greatest contribution was that of a meeting place.
Every small town, especially isolated mountain towns, need a place for people to come together. It is in these meeting places that lives are shared and burdens lifted, and that the woes of the world are passionately discussed. The Horse Trader, with its homemade wood stove, bottomless coffee pot and locally made pastries was the very hub of community influence.
As a child and young adult, I spent many hours in the Horse Trader. I organized and dusted and poured coffee. And I listened. I listened while conservatives ranted about eroding freedoms and liberals decried social injustice. I listened while opposing sides discussed current events, mocking the others’ lack of intellectual capacity. I listened and I thought and I came to my own conclusions about the world around me.
Through the years, I have continued to follow current events. I have continued to listen to opposing sides each trying to convince the people of their particular truth. I have filtered these “truths” through the empirical truth of God’s word, and in the process, I have come to see the true agenda of the political forces at work in our world. And what I see is death.
On the surface, the constant stream of propaganda fed to us by the media appears to promote unity and peace, safety and tolerance, however, beneath the veneer of this great deception lurks the true agenda – death, on a massive scale.
Consider the facts. Our progressively liberal academic and political masters, along with their public relations branch – the entertainment industry, preach a continual sermon of tolerance and safety and understanding. We are supposed to tolerate an invading Muslim population, along with hordes of border-crashing foreign nationals, under the guise of sheltering displaced peoples. The daily barrage of misinformation convinces us that we are treasuring life by sheltering the unfortunates. They tell us that anyone who would choose to close our borders and protect our citizens are cruel and hateful, bigoted and privileged. They tell us that they love their fellow man, implying that we live in hatred. The truth? The very people the liberals require us to shelter have cultures steeped in bloodshed. Muslims, since the time they were called Moors, and before, have terrorized the world with hatred, radical intolerance and a wholesale bloodlust. Every society that has embraced Islam, or has accepted Muslim refugees has been thrust into Islamic compliance or death – there is no middle ground. There is no tolerance. Compliance or death.
And what about the border-crashing foreign nationals? They too, bring death. Severed limbs wash up on our shores and dismembered bodies litter our streets. Rape, murder and terror accompany these lawless predators. And our liberal authorities continue embrace these purveyors of death, welcoming them in and giving them the keys to our cities.
But wait, there’s more. Liberals proclaim their love of life by encouraging mothers to rip their children from their wombs. That is the deception – they speak of life yet promote the death of entire generations.
Blood is running in our streets, yet the progressives are not satisfied. They need – they require more death. After flooding our cities with violence, engendering a generational entitlement mentality and promoting mass addiction, our liberal leaders now seek to relieve us of the ability to protect ourselves. They have unleashed a massive storm and are actively dismantling our only shelter.
The cry for gun control has grown louder and louder as society crumbles and decays. The liberals, the elites, the media and the “useful idiots” all tell us that we need to do away with the Second Amendment – that we need to be “safe”, that guns kill. What they don’t tell us is that guns in the hands of citizens save lives. What they don’t tell us is that freedom will cost something, but tyranny will cost everything.
Yes, with the freedom to keep and bear arms, people will die. That is the cost of freedom. But when the government disarms the people, the result is death – death on a massive scale. Think of Nazi Germany, Syria, Botswana, and the list goes on. And that seems to be the liberal agenda – death. The progressives narrative is that they are trying to save lives by disarming the population. That is deception at its finest. The truth is that our freedom to own guns saves lives. A repeal of the Second Amendment would, in fact, cause blood to run in the streets. Without the right to keep and bear arms, America becomes just another third world country, subject to the whims of corrupt leaders. Our protests will be with rocks and sticks – and their response will be with bullets. Death will come on swift wings.
The liberal agenda isn’t an agenda of life – it is an agenda of death. Liberals love death – in all its forms. Their policies promote the death of families and businesses. They promote the death of economies and societies. But mostly, they promote the death of people.
I choose life.

spot on!
“I approve this message”
Well stated and well-written piece.
The author points out what some see and cannot express, or what some don’t even notice.
Too bad this will never make it on Facebook.
Read this on her blog a while back.
Exactly why Rush calls the Democrats ‘the party of death’.

“We want to take your gunz.”
“No. Your move.”
Awesome article! Thanks.
Women of The Redoubt are a blessing. My advice: Don’t mess with them!
It’s difficult to mess with the women of the redoubt when they are nestled in with so many great men in the role of husbands. Just the opposite is true with the LEFT’s women–the more they liberate them from families it causes their victim count to skyrocket… The LEFT has painted women victims because they weren’t born male, and even painted Blacks victims due to them not being born white, and yes gave Gays a victim status because they’re not heterosexual. Ever notice their Campaign promises from the LEFT… HINT: It correlates to them rescuing the victims they’ve just painted into society. America is not great because of its single women–it is great because of its strong families which include both men and women.
Amen! I’ve followed Enola’s blog for years. Her husband and family and neighboring families are just like you described. And Christ is still Lord of their valleys.
Good article, and very accurate…..history repeats itself.
Could not have said it better myself!!! The truth shall make us free, and the gun shall keep it that way!!!!
And we’ll all just hand our guns over… Yeah… Right…
Excellent! Can the author of this article post it in other places? I would gladly assist in any way possible that this post gets the widest exposure.
They seek death. They may be surprised when it isn’t who they want dying.
Abortion, the blood sacrament of the false religion called Liberalism. All religions require some type of sacrifice, this is theirs.
If these evil practitioners of liberalism wish to sacrifice blood, surely they could step up to the alter and shed their own, and leave these poor, innocent, defenseless babies to live as God intended. Liberals are at their best when sharing, but not necessarily their own. We are soon going to experience God’s wrath, this cannot continue, and the blame is clearly at the feet of all participating in this decay.
How many men, women and children in America and around the world will have to die at the hands of Islamic Jihadists before the people of the United States and the West face reality? At some point will a civil war be inevitable? Will Americans stand around in denial until the number of Muslims reaches the flash point? Can you defend yourself – now and then?
What she said!
Thank you, Sister!
Lets not forget assisted suicide depriving us of the wisdom, experience and conservative nature of our typically older generations. While on the subject of suicide, does it seem to anybody else that it is becoming accepted among young people as the solution to negative peer pressure? This article is right on – liberals promote death in every sense.
I have said many times before, that before any one in this country really understands what is happening, there must be a horrific tragedy happen. Then people will finally understand.
That was very well written article!! I sure hope it gets posted to other medias. Sadly I think we have some trying times on the way.
This Is an OUTSTANDING artilce!!!!
These are many things that I and many other people have been banging THE drum about for so long.
Keep banging that drum, do not stop, not now, not ever!!!!
‘A Republic If We Can Keep It’, I Say We Keep It!!!!
Semper Fi!
Enola Gay:
No-one who knows me would ever call me a liberal, but I must disagree with you on one point…
My father was in his late sixties when it was discovered he had inoperable prostate cancer. It had spread to his liver, bladder and kidneys
The last months of his life were something I hope I never have to go through again.
The pain was constant, the pain medication did not work for long, but the doctor said that more could shorten his life.
I HATED that doctor for his cowardice…
Nothing could save my father and nothing reduced his suffering.
Would you leave a dog in pain like this?
My family are faithful Catholics of Irish decent, so suicide is considered a mortal sin.
It is one of the reasons why I lost my faith.
It is important to remember that preventing death is NOT the same as preserving life.
There are times it is kinder to let someone go..
Mr. CeeJay 0714:
Both of my Grandmothers went through similar circumstances prior to there deaths, so I sympathise.
I am not Catholic but I am a Baptised Christian and I to have had my faith shaken.
I also hated the doctors for not giving enough pain meds to let my loved ones die without pain and with dignity.
“It is important to remember that preventing death is NOT the same as preserving life.”, truer words were never spoken, it is not right to let a human live in constant pain with a terminal illness, I believe it is against gods laws!
Even cowboys know it is better to put a wounded horse down than to let the animal suffer, as a cowboy I believe this to be wise and merciful.
If any of my words seem …. harsh or without remorse I apologize.
You are not alone.
As humans we should do better, as American Conservative Christians we can do better.
You are not alone.
Some say there may be no words to assuage the anguish one feels when losing a loved one.
You are not alone.
Peace.
Fieldmarshelattilathehun:
Thank you for your kind words.
I had to think long and hard before sending that post. I know that many attending this site have strong religious views and might feel that I was advocating euthanasia.
My father’s beliefs were very important to him, so I accepted his right to choose.
I think I turned my pain and anger onto the religion that tried to tell me that God WANTED him to die in agony.
My faith may return, but the scars run deep…
God bless.
CeeJay 0714:
Your very welcome, sir.
I live in Oregon and we have that law that allows euthanasia and I tend to lean more towards life than than death but I also know there’s a VERY fine line!
I believe that God gave us brains to learn and figure things out for ourselves in order to become more self sufficient and to help our fellow man.
I do not believe that God would want his children to unnecessarily suffer, with that said, I wish the doc’s would have given just enough med’s to take the edge off so that my Grandmothers would have not suffered. I believe it was very possible!
I try not to blame God or Christianity, but I do blame the doc’s.
I, like you may find my faith returning, but scars will remain.
Thanx for getting back to me.
God Bless.
Which is why the liberals should receive death..
jim:
Why lower ourselves to their level?
These people do a lot of name-calling and labeling to get their “point” across. Reminds me of the “sticks and stones” so called arguments of children. These folks have not grown up and learned how to argue or reason effectively, so all they have are sticks and stones. The Adversary is hard at work, don’t be deceived.
Maybe some good news:

“Blood is running in our streets,”
I spent a lot of time in the streets today. It was a beautiful day, and I saw no blood.
Outstanding article.
The Globalists are the enemies of freedom. Globalists, communist, liberals, progressives, socialists, etc…. they are the enemy of our Republic, and openly state so. They wish to abolish borders, remove eighty percent of the worlds population from life, and enslave the rest. It’s been stated so often, outside of the media of course. As the media is their sanctioned propaganda wing, something our Senators voted for. They made lying to the people legal. What kind of government does that, the same kind that taxes you for everything you do…….I could go on, but most here know the foundational reasons to keep your guns. It is coming soon, but so is Christ Jesus. Soon to go way south, Hell on earth.
Mr. mark:
Amen, I got your back!
