I'm not advocating against memes. I'm advocating against a childish character, and indifference to Godly morals. Memes can condense profound truths very simply and quickly. Some of them are really great. But if this is serious times, it's time to be serious about the noble cause you potentially give your life to. Frankly, I believe if we were, collectively, as gentlemanly as our Founding Fathers, we'd have won over enough democrats to not even be in this situation. I'm not calling anyone out here, but think of how history looks upon the past. Honor is given to the honorable. So, do not be cynical. Don't be ones who say "the victorious are the authors of history." Such is a faithless statement, because a man receives nothing unless it comes from Heaven.

Ben Franklin was a womanizing perv.
Plus, they all belonged to a secret treehouse club that blew off steam by regularly carousing. On one case, our nation's leaders drunkenly sealed a brit in a barrel and rolled him painfully down a hill.
I see all of man's battles as earning God's salvation. I've studied the liberal ideology quite a bit, and I've also studied wisdom and humanity under God. None of us are special. Long story short, none of our politics are sacred that are not directly attributable to the Word of God. "All things shall pass away, but my [Jesus] words shall not pass away." What can we attribute to God? That the Declaration of Independence speaks of Nature's God. Not good enough. But how did we do so well? We were practicing in good faith as Christians doing what Christians do. Not all not all, but most. Look at the Founders. They praised the moral integrity of Christians as being the very stuff to hold the nation together. God could easily choose to abolish us, and yield patriots yet out of these liberals who hate all things America now. This is why I say it is best to fear God first. Do good to your enemy, and in doing so you are heaping coals upon them. Give yourself every edge possible, even if it means being nice.
Fuck romney that magic underwear wearing faggot. He is the most flamboyant faggot since boy george.
I'm not reading it the way you're reading it then. It's just a bit of rhetoric meant to imply his opponent has no edge whatsoever. He's not manly, but doesn't even make up for it in sensibility. And even if you could be arguably right, language matters. Thinking matters. "A gentle answer turneth away wrath." If you take Proverbs to heart and search them out, I guarantee you, you'll see them come to fruition in real life. When you elevate your language, saying one simple pointed thing with the edges removed, so to speak, you can verily get a different reaction.
There is a time for soldiers and there is a time for poets. Very rarely do the two appear on stage in the same act. Chroniclers and historians have smoothed the coarseness of warriors since the ascendancy of humankind.
Ben Franklin, as I have learned, not only was a great statesman, he was a man-whore. He boned everything he could in England (where he argued for the colonies to be included in parliament) and France when he was trying to pull France in to help us. The revolution was brewed in taverns and pubs my freind. I know I have let a few unpleasantries fly in my day at these types of establishments. I wonder if it was the same? Probably. I say smile, for you got to see boob and some ass. I'll take this over the having stuffed fucking shirts pontificating about how the Repubs should do this, or that. Then when we do get a guy (POTUS) they screech in horror that he's actually doing what (((they))) said to do.
Yeah..... Boobs and Ass are bad I guess.
Puritanical ain’t going to work fren! We’ve already proven that! I’ll be judged by my maker for my sins! Don’t need yours, don’t want yours, and frankly it’s an act of violence that requires a response in kind in this the earthly realm.
I advocate for violence potentially - that's another thing altogether. This is about character and what you see throughout history. Base men (not in the sense of "based" as it's becoming now, but of the ignorant reactionary ignorant commoner) don't even show up in history's retelling, and evil men are outright abolished. Perhaps, they show up and served some purpose for a time, but their memories as victors is abolished. History remembers great men, and women, so strive to be of great character. If it means being noble and even kind to your enemy, wouldn't you do it if it means saving the country? But, again, you'll think or say, it doesn't matter. So, again, I say, look to history. You think the French Revolution perhaps? You think that was a success? That's what we're looking like more than our own Revolution.
Essentially decent, gentlemen, noble?
No, that is not the whole of it nor even half.
They debated, drafted, argued, wrote then signed a constitution.
But regardless the morals, standards or ethics of their time, the critical factor was that they had just experienced a physical war for independence. Many people, including persons close to them, had given their lives to even give them the chance to draft a constitution for an new nation and free population.
While they knew the fight had been just, those founders had lived it. They understood what brought it, and in an effort unprecedented since the Magna Carta, sort to lay the foundation for a system of government that would preclude such a situation requiring such a war in the future. A new nation with government of the people, by the people, for the people. A nation where there was no taxation without representation. A nation where those appointed to govern could only do so via the consent of those they governed.
Firing a musket round through a fellow human being is hardly noble, gentlemenly or honourable. The founders knew this horror. They tried, to the best of their ability, to prevent it ever happening again.
Their tree of Liberty had to be watered with the blood of patriots. But they sought to establish a nation where the tree could be watered by the citizen's votes in fair and free elections.
The installation of Biden by electoral fraud ends the Constitutional Republic of the Founders. If Americans now squander what was won by the blood of Patriots, they cannot win it back at the ballot box. Fradulent votes cannot water the Tree of Liberty
I don't think the future is with the democrat ideology, however it doesn't mean we are guaranteed anything either. And physical power means nothing. How is that? Because God can accomplish his will despite ourselves. Maybe God's will is to even put biden in place for a time so he utterly fails and we abolish their ideology forever through a bloody revolution. I know what you're saying about this being the end of the Republic if biden were to win, but there are absolutes and there are absolutes. Consider me the voice of reason when I say you're in a tunnel when you believe you cannot be wrong about what our politics must yield. We simply fight for our convictions, but if you're smarming around with childish joking all the time it doesn't lend any confidence towards a necessary condition where we are firing upon countrymen. I don't want to give God the reason to determine both our tribes are trash and end-run around the both of us. This is why I'm so often harping on here about being better versions of ourselves. It's out of fear of God. The Founders were most certainly gentlemen with noble characters (and I doubt you disagree), so I'm not even sure what your point is, except you resent the idea that someone is saying decency actually matters and we should act like it. I'm not saying you can't be indecent or whatever you read me as limiting, I'm only offering what I consider the advice that increases our odds, and nothing you wrote contradicts me.
This man knows very little about the Founders.
I never said to apologize.
The amount of free time we have now compared with the life people in the 1800's would suggest the difference in our temperaments and demeanors to be night and day. I'm sure they had their time of horseplay, but you can see the evidence of how well trained the minds of the Founders were in their words. And I imagine even the lowliest among them would probably count us as a bunch of foolish unserious jerks. Like I say, I'm sure they joked and clowned at times, but not to the extent that we are constantly at it. We are at it so much it's a business.
I did read that the founders all wrote the constitution and everything completely drunk and wasted. Yet they wrote it beautifully. I think it’s okay to have a bit of fun sometimes.
Does god really tell you to act a certain way?
Does the bible tell you how to be a man?
No.
Simply put. If you are being a pussy I'm going to call a spade a spade. I love God and Jesus but I'm not a church monger. Everyone has their own relationship with God and no one can tell you what that relationship should be. Your soul follows his wisdom and your soul is guided on the path if you know it or not.
Don't be a Beta.
The Golden Rule matters.
Not making eye contact when you and your friend are sharing a woman?
The founding fathers were far more principaled in the use of "force" than we are today. My meaning is that it took far less to be killed then than it does now. Hell Andrew Jackson killed a man before taking office and it was because he lost a court case to him.....
I didn't make this post because of suggestions of violence. I'm actually of the persuasion that violence should have come well before the election even. So long as I believe this is as serious as I believe it is, I personally take on the role of moral harpy. I guess I have to say I believe, in action, character matters more than belief, so if we have the same character as liberals in a world where God is no respecter of men, then a clear winner seems impossible.
Really not following you on this. Different tactics and expression of free speech don't have a place in this fight? Im not about to tell people here they have to like the memes and you're free to carry yourself any way you'd like on this task of yours. There are a lot of ages and different kind of people that use tdw to create and share memes with us like-minded brethren. It's been a foundation of what this site and movement are since nearly day one. The memes are a powerful way we communicate and create a sense of unity and culture in such a large movement. It just sounds judgey and almost censor like to suggest most of your fellow pedes aren't gentlemanly in their creative humor and that then means they aren't taking things seriously. God gave me my brain and sense of humor and I don't try to suppress that just because it might bring Dems to our side. I'd rather be myself.
My goal is to win. If I'm among friendlies and I say you should wear a belt and tuck in your shirt, it's not an order, it's a recommendation. I'm trying to affect the outcome. In a nutshell, I think that stuff matters. Honors is given to the honorable. When someone is trying to control you, I get it, throw it back in their face that they have no control. But there's a way to do that, and there's a way that only maintains the opponents resolve. I'm not perfect in this, but I honestly believe if we were all cunningly nice to liberals, this would be a different situation. I'm not saying liberals are all over this site and would be converted by us on here, but it's advice for the real world. And I suspect most of you in here probably are decent to everyone in the real. I would have it that Honor is our battle cry, and I see nothing wrong in that. One thing I've noticed about the liberal ideology is it is a subversion of the Golden Rule. That should be why we make it our banner. That's what will win. When I break this rule, myself, I feel like the outcome is a fog.
This is a Trump rally, not a tent revival.
So start firing on people from behind trees.
Got it.
I'm okay with this.
True but won't happen. Communists infiltration and degradation over generations has left society in general far too crude and vulgar, to the point that such noble qualities are mocked as weakness.
Nothing new.
Excellent , thought-provoking post . Take it to heart .
Thank you.
KGB82 Not sure why I came back in here, but I've re-read this thread and I'll just say it's a catalyst for reflection. I believe I comprehend your thesis better now then I did a few hours ago. Passion is the likely cause of my earlier sharp engagement. It is not often that a "post" leaves me with enduring thought provoking questions, but this one has. I do not subscribe to all of your assertions as they are written. However, I do believe you have a valid viewpoint. I'll leave you with this thought. It is my own thought.
I care not how history, or any man judges me. I care only that my children and grand children have the "opportunity" to live free and die free. I will do whatever I must to advance that vision. My "moral character" is not a reflection of my "fleeting behavior", but of my "core values". Which is why I believe they say, do not judge a book by it's cover.
I'm glad to hear that. It's not a call to be passive, like some seem to take it, and it's not an order to be righteous. It's a recommendation. I understand the Founders weren't perfect angels, but I do think they were decent and honorable, even unto death. I really think this stuff matters, and we do better to be less reactionary and really look at the meaning of our convictions - what tells us the other side is wrong, and why we are right. And frankly, this is the thing that locks people into the fight. A person with a joking demeanor is giving themselves an "out" to walk away when things get actually difficult. I kind of look at morality like it's a science, and I think it's a mistake for us now on the right to think we are head and shoulders better than liberals. Now, don't get me wrong, the liberal ideology has no future, but that alone doesn't make us right or our politics the default path of least resistance to a Fate that will yield liberty and equality. We have to govern our minds. All this puerile stuff, raunchy mockery, making pinups of wives, etc, has no place with winners. I don't care if the Founders were drinkers and had the occasional romp, they treated women with utmost integrity, especially wives, and they held and maintained a high sense of honor, even in the heat of whatever contest. It's all about the Golden rule, I think. It doesn't mean you have to agree with your opponent, but to put yourself in their shoes. There's a time we all were very wrong about something, and we all know crass mockery served nothing but the pride of those who did it.
