Communist Rules for Revolution

 

Should you be surprised by this article, published originally in 1970?  Or are you just in denial? 

 

This is exactly the road map that liberal, political, fanatic, elitists are following to seize control and ultimately dictate how everyone else will live.  The Mayor of New York City, yesterday, held a press conference to introduce a new city law that will make New York the most expensive place to purchase a pack of cigarettes, at nearly $15 a pack.  This in the name of "public health!"  OMG, the government has got to protect us from ourselves because they know what is best for us.  Shame on us to think that we could ever again determine our own individual destiny in life.  I am not a cigarette smoker, but, if I want to smoke myself to death; it is none of the Mayor of New York's business!  

 

Lest I digress.  There are those who place a label on every issue before the public, and our great nation.  Someone says that  the current state of our immigration situation needs to be addressed, for example (...and both political parties know this to be the case) however, a finger is pointed and from the rafters the word "racism" is shouted!  And nobody has even suggested anything of a racist sort, except that they could be from a political party that we want everyone else to believe are racists or bigots or any other label that exaggerates and creates a monster out of the other political side. 

 

We have investigation on top of investigation and innuendo about our leaders, what they have done or have not done depending on your perspective, and no evidence of facts exists.  Yet the fingers continue to be pointed and one more accusation is leveled that needs further investigation.  ...and for those leaders where evidence  is found to be true?  Well, that was just a "witch hunt" and it was someone else's fault.  No harm, No penalty for their actions.

 

College campuses are being ripped apart because someone is scheduled to speak, and that person is deemed a FILL IN THE BLANK HERE WITH THE LABEL YOU WANT and thus it is OK to burn, pillage, loot and perform violent actions to their campus.   The college leaders cower in the corner and surrender so as not to screw up anybody's idea of self esteem.  So, they come out against free speech and differing points of view.  Why not, it is only one of the things that has made America Great!  Taking the clipping from above, I believe that colleges and universities have molded themselves into the framework of these Communist Rules for Revolution.

 

Many followers of this doctrine have not figured out yet, the impact to them personally.  Take the efforts to remove the monuments of the Confederacy from the US Civil War.  The very reason they seek removal of the historic relics of the past is racism, the same reason why we fought a Civil War was fought in the first place.  Now to remove, alter or destroy history so we forget about the past to make us feel better about today?   Well, when we forget our history we are then bound to repeat it!

 

Control the media, the message, spend future generation's wealth so deep they will never get out of the hole, divide and concur.  Let us be engrossed in things that are not real or not really important.  Put your head in the sand, your social media and your self absorbed world of me.  But be forewarned!  Evil does exist in this world and has an enormous appetite for anyone who will buy into its deception.   

 

I choose my God & guns; you can have the change! 

Ropes that Bind Us

No matter how much the world tries to hold you back, always continue with the belief that what you want to achieve is possible. Believing you can become successful is the most important step in actually achieving it.  Case in point…

A gentleman was walking through an elephant camp, and he spotted that the elephants weren’t being kept in cages or held by the use of chains. All that was holding them back from escaping the camp, was a small piece of rope tied to one of their legs.

As the man gazed upon the elephants, he was completely confused as to why the elephants didn’t just use their strength to break the rope and escape the camp. They could easily have done so, but instead they didn’t try to at all.

Curious and wanting to know the answer, he asked a trainer nearby why the elephants were just standing there and never tried to escape.

The trainer replied;

"when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

The only reason that the elephants weren’t breaking free and escaping from the camp was because over time they adopted the belief that it just wasn’t possible.

What's holding you back from being set free?
 

Setting the Record Straight

A very "self-important" college freshman was attending a recent football game.  He took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.

"You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one," the student said," loud enough for many of those nearby to hear.  "The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon, our spaceships have visited Mars.  We have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with light-speed processing, and....," pausing to take another drink of beer.

The Senior took advantage of the break in the student's litany and said, "You're right, son.  We didn't have those things when we were young ........ so we invented them!  Now, you arrogant little shithead, what are you doing for the next generation?"

The applause was deafening.

I just love senior citizens!

Who Packed Your Parachute Today?

Captain Charles Plumb, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, was a jet fighter pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent 6 years in a communist Vietnamese POW prison. He survived the ordeal and spent time after the Vietnam War as a motivational speaker talking about lessons learned from his experience.

 

One day, when Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant, a man at another table came up and said, “You’re Plumb! You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. You were shot down!” “How in the world did you know that?” asked Plumb. “Well Sir, I packed your parachute,” the man replied. Plumb gasped in surprise and gratitude, to finally be able to meet in person the man who saved his life from the doomed fighter jet. The man pumped his hand and said, “I guess it worked!” Plumb assured him, “It sure did. If your chute hadn’t worked, I wouldn’t be here today.”

Plumb couldn’t sleep that night, thinking about that man. Plumb says, “I kept wondering what he might have looked like in a Navy uniform: a Dixie Cup white hat, a bib in the back, and bell-bottom trousers. I wonder how many times I might have seen him and not even said ‘Good morning,’ ‘how are you?’ or anything because, as Plumb explained, “You see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a sailor.”  

Plumb thought of the many hours the sailor had spent on a long wooden table in the bowels of the ship, carefully weaving the shrouds and folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time the fate of someone he didn’t know.

“Who’s packing your parachute?”  

Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day. Plumb also points out that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down over enemy territory.   He needed his physical parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these supports before reaching safety.

Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important. We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason what so ever. As you go through this week, this month, this year, pay recognition to people.  You may never know which one could be “packing your parachute!”
