Cold Hard Truth
Below is my comment on a friends fb post from the other day regarding how things like school uniforms and other similar requirements are slowly eroding our freedoms and it is forcing us toward a totalitarian Marxist state...
Troy, you are right. It is all steps toward globalisation. The onslaught is woven all throughout our society. News networks, Hollywood, the music industry, the education system, etc are all polluted. They are all in the business of trying to tell us what to think say and do, and its NOT toward a Godly end which brings freedom. For example, in a STATE run system of education, it is easy for them to enforce conformity and erase individuality. It is also easy to enforce acceptance of lifestyle CHOICES that were once thought of as abominations. Yet when a child wants to bring a Bible to school or pray, it is discouraged or worse. They are told to conform to ideas that are for the good of many at the expense of individuality. While I know many educators in Oklahoma are Christian and see what is happening, there are many others the follow along without taking a moment to consider what is happening is inherently wrong. It is a case of the proverbial "not being able to see the forest for the trees".
All of this is a small part of a deeper, darker agenda. If things continue, we will slide into a socialist society where govt will held out to be a deity which we will all be expected to give our allegiances to.
Are all of these things obvious to the masses...NO. Many accept what they see as normal because they allow themselves to be programmed by the media, now a pawn of those who are behind all of this. They follow like sheep...hence the term "sheeple". Let's not forget the first thing God tells us about Satan's character in Genesis 3:1:
"And the Serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field". We are also told that we are not to be ignorant of his devices.
Those of us who are in the know must continue to educate those we come in contact with.
**I would also like to note that many just simply do not want to know. They are comfortable and the thought of anything making them "uncomrtable" is scary, despite its reality. Like I said, we must educate those around us for their sake. I truly believe that things in this country can be turned around. It will begin with a turn to God and continue with a re-embracing of traditional values.

Pic of the Day
Fellow American Patriots, we must strive to educate those around us as to what is going on in our country. If we do, we can successfully thwart attempts to change our nation for the worse. The above picture is what the radical left is bent on doing. Arm yourselves with facts and spread the word.

Obama Adds Military Heroes to 'Enemies List'
What Intel does Mr Revere have for us today, patriots? Looks like our own military has become an enemy of the state. Looks like Obama campaign is in self-destruct mode.

Paul Revere's Ride
MILLER: Armed against tragedy - Washington Times
Interesting how the media went all out to talk about Aurora, CO and other events but they tried to let this slide under the radar.

Thought for the Day
I just wanted to stick a few of my personal feelings out there about current events, politics, etc.
First and foremost we must pray! see 2 Chronicles 7:14; Philippians 4:6-8; James 5:16
We believe our greatest weapon against the far left radical socialist agenda is our intellect. Reason and logic support none of the policies that the "current administration" is trying to implement. We must attempt to educate those we come in contact with, particularly "sheep" (those who easily buy into what they are told without thinking things through). Read and study for yourself and be prepared to answer those who may present ideas contradictory to yours. See 1 Timothy 2:15; 1 Peter 3:15
We agree with being "prepared". Natural disasters are far more common and likely than invasion of some sort. We feel that it is wisdom to be prepared for any number of contingencies. Again, take the time to research these things and implement them. There are so many good resources available. See 1 Corinthians 16:13; Proverbs 6:6-8
While we definitely believe in the duty to protect ourseleves and our loved ones (see Luke 22:36; Proverbs 25:26), we here at the Modern Day Patriot see use of force as the last resort against government tyranny. We hope and pray it never comes to that. We see good days ahead for our country.

Thought of the Day
On Sheep, Wolves and Sheepdogs
This is a really well-written article. To me, it is a must read for all patriots. As men I believe we are called to be sheepdogs. While I know we are to love our neighbors as ourselves, I also realize that part of loving our neighbor is being prepared to defend them from the wolf, or predator when he comes.
Please take a few minutes to read...

Thought of the Day
NOTE FROM THE MODERN DAY PATRIOT: THIS IS A REPOST FROM AN EMAIL I RECEIVE FROM THE ART OF MANLINESS, I HOPE YOU ENJOY. FURTHER CREDITS IN BODY OF TEXT.
Editor’s note: This is guest post from Marcus Brotherton. It originally ran on Men Who Lead Well (www.marcusbrotherton.com).
One harmful mindset that can keep a man from fulfilling his calling and potential is self-coddling. This is when he convinces himself he deserves a break, and runs to something that ultimately harms himself.
The WWII Marines of K/3/5 had been fighting on Guadalcanal for weeks. C-rations had run out, and the men ate twice daily portions of coconuts and wormy rice they’d confiscated from the Japanese.
Sid Phillips, left, with W.O. BrownPFC Sid Phillips (featured in HBO’s The Pacific) grew increasingly concerned for his hometown friend, W.O. Brown, racked with severe dysentery. Everything W.O. tried to eat ran straight through him. There was no medicine. No cots to lie on. The sick were simply stretched out on the ground. W.O. grew so emaciated he was too weak even to sit up. Flies covered him as he lay in his own diarrhea.
“It was bad,” Phillips reported in an interview with me. “I didn’t think W.O. was going to survive.”
Each day, Phillips carried W.O. to the ocean and helped him get clean. I asked Phillips if he remembered any specific conversations he had with W.O. during these times of carrying him. Here, I was expecting a poignant story. I pictured this young battle-hardened Marine carrying his nearly-dead buddy to the water. “Keep holding on,” Phillips would whisper. “Have courage. Just think of mom and apple pie.” Something like that.
But Phillips just chuckled. “Oh yeah, I remember. I told W.O. to stop being such a faker and take a salt tablet.”
The response threw me. I asked Phillips (who eventually became a medical doctor) what his strategy was.
“Well, it didn’t help a man to overly commiserate with him,” Phillips said. “If you did, it just depressed him. But if you kidded him, it made him smile. The ribbing was all good natured. He’d fire back some wisecrack at you, and soon he’d get to fighting again.”
How does this apply to manhood today?
Phillips respected W.O. Brown as someone who had the capacity to get up and go on. So let’s believe the same about ourselves.
Anytime a man is in a downed place—i.e. he’s annoyed, angry, tired, hurt, lonely, stressed, or frustrated—he is tempted to become overly sympathetic with himself. He gets that insidious, creepy, pampering mindset that tells him he deserves a break—just this once.
I’m not talking about kicking back on the couch with a bag of Doritos. Not that kind of a break.
Get tough with yourself. Knock it off, ya faker. Take a salt tablet, and get back to the battle. Sure, frustrations exist. But you don’t need that bottle. You don’t need that porn. You don’t need to give in to that moment of rage on the freeway. You’ve only convinced yourself you do.
By the way, the strategy works. W.O. Brown survived the dysentery—and the war.

I’m talking about blowing it: the lie that it’s okay to run to a favorite vice. We’ve all got them. We run to whatever ultimately harms us, because we’ve convinced ourselves it helps. It’s the worst form of coddling.
What’s the solution?Get tough with yourself. Knock it off, ya faker. Take a salt tablet, and get back to the battle. Sure, frustrations exist. But you don’t need that bottle.
