CROSSING THE POTAMAC

 

The glorious cause of America and the commitment that it took to face the threating of freedom and independence that brought immigrants to this land now called the United States. Boston and Bunker Hill controlled by the British with the availability of supplies seemed impossible to win a fight and to take control of the city and Bunker Hill. The provincial army was ill fitted, scarcely any artillery, and almost no gunpowder, only enough powder for about nine rounds per man: it looked dim, many were sick and not fit for duty. They faced some 7,000 soldiers in Boston who fired shells over the heads of the provincial army that was infested with deadly scourges of dysentery, typhus, and typhoid fever, headaches and delirium carried by lice and fleas that plagued the army. The provincial army was made up of farmers, and skilled artisans, shoemakers, saddlers, coopers, tailors, and ship builders; not a well-prepared regimented army. Many of the men were drifters, tavern lowlife, some belong to the dregs of society but by and larger were good citizens. This was the makeup of the first American army. People of all color, nationalities would stand and fight together. Later in this war the American army would face fierce cold weather, frozen land and waterways, lack of clothing, shoes, dying while standing their posts and even with those who deserted lessening the force available these men fought on with one cry: FREEDOM, INDEPENDENCE! This ragtag army fought and won our FREEDOM AND INDEPENDECE. They were now free from totalitarianism, from vile and cruel Monarchies, from the government attempting in every way to control their lives: their way.

 

Today We The People of the United States once again face Totalitarianism, Socialism, even Communism, government control of you lives: the very thing why people came to this land and formed a nation whereby the people, not the government had the control. The greatest document ever written for a nation, our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, our Declaration of Independence are being torn apart and revised by those who are in government that despise our great nation. Our nation due to those evil men and women who were able to gain control of our government is divided even though it is easily seen how this new regimen is attempting to take over their lives. Men and women of all races and nationalities fought for this land, and today we must put aside our prejudices and join together to save our nation, our way of life, our Constitution, both Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, all must join to fight this war against our nation. It is good to have differences but not differences that divide our nation or lose our FREEDOM AND INDEPENDECE.

 

Rand Paul said it succinctly: WE MUST FIGHT! If the men who were not trained soldiers were willing to fight are you willing to fight? Are you willing to put aside whatever that is distracting you to join in this fight? What is it going to take to get you into this fight? Loss of your freedom, loss of your independence? It may be too late if you wait! Your children, your grandchildren, great grandchildren are expecting you to fight for them for their freedom and independence. Yes, the Battle of Bunker Hill where American patriots were defeated proved that they could hold their own against superior forces and confirmed that they would not be reconciled again to such Totalitarian government. We may have lost the election and allowed a man who despises the United States and his cronies but that was a battle and now the war is on in full force, that is, if you, good citizens pull up your “skirts” and join the fight. Good citizens won the Revolutionary War, and good citizens can win again: fight for FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE: first and foremost, put aside anything that will hinder you to join and fight.
