Campfire2 Although I agreed with him on very little, I have to give credence to a term used by John McCain to describe the financial behavior of our government: "Generational theft." With every "bailout" or "stimulous" package of bullets Washington sees fit to shoot into the corpse of our murder-victim economy, we are living off the prosperity of those to follow. We are not only eating our own seed wheat, but that of our children and grand children.

"What was it like, grandpa, when America was free?"

"You mean you guys actually voted for people who thought that way?"

"Didn't they know that what they were doing had never worked, anywhere, in any country, ever?"

"You mean you didn't do anything to prevent it?"

    Great post Chris! I can hear the grandchildren of MV Team people saying, “Gee grandpa, I’m sure glad you didn’t follow what everyone else did, you told me the TRUTH & gave me HOPE. Thanks Grandpa!!
    The system rocks!!!

    I would like to say that we should use Abraham Lincolns old saying,”this to shall pass,” but I am not that silly. I think everyone on the TEAM should be commenting on this blog and Orrin’s.
    Not just 3 people.
    I believe that we were made for times such as these. As we look into the desolate future the battle that we face is the same battle the founding fathers faced. Freedom isn’t free!!!!! It has never been this important for good people to stand up and fight for freedom. As for me and my family we are going to do the uncommon thing. I was sitting up last night and thinking of what new things I could put in my dream book and all I could think of was my childrens freedom preserved. Not some big home and fancy car, but a country that has a voice again. I sat there and thought of those who walked before me here in this country and what they went through so I could be lazy and uneducated, and it made me sad. We have an obligation to our country and our GOD, not to have more time to relax but more fight in our heart for whats right. Chris I want to personally thank you for being the inspiration for what a patriot is in this country. You and Orrin are going to restore this country one home at a time. Please don’t get weary in well doing we are all praying for you guys and your families.
    When you look back as you are charging the hill of freedom that others are raveging you will see me and countless others that have your back brother, and the back of the other freedom fighters of the country.
    To all those reading… WELCOME TO THE CAUSE… stp,stp,stp,stp.
    We will change this country one person at a time.

    Ditto Holger! All we need to do is just keep sowing seeds, and hope will be achieved.

    We are the seeds of the next “Greatest Generation”, whose character is being influenced by the voice and pen of The Team leaders. It’s up to us to bring as many people into our sphere of influence as possible, as quickly as we can. Only then can we find the tipping point where America is truly the country envisioned by John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and the other founding fathers.

    Chris;
    So eloquently said by all the readers here.
    I believe what Holger said is true as well. That CD, seminar, open or major can change people.
    As Orrin says, we are leaders in hope.
    God Bless the TEAM.

    Chris,
    The U.S. had its Founding Fathers )and Mothers, too!), and they did a magnificent job for their time. They won freedom for their children and their children’s children.
    Over the years, each successive generation has had their opportunity to rise up and stand with them, or slide that much further down away from them. The society we live in now is the product of about 60 years of governmental downward sliding, and at least 40 years of cultural downsliding.
    And yet again, we each face the choice, to rise or fall. Our culture falls, and the Team choses to rise.
    If any of us have a dream of leaving a legacy, consider this: If we are successful as a Team in our rise, the generations to follow us may very well look to us as we look to our Founding Fathers and Mothers. For we will have won the 2nd American Revolution when we succeed in our goals and turn our country, our government and our culture back to the place where our Founders intended us to go.
