Battle

"Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." --Ephesians 6:11-12

"We are involved in an intense battle. It is a battle between right and wrong, between truth and error, between the design of the Almighty on the one hand and that of Lucifer on the other. For that reason, we desperately need moral men and women who stand on principle, to be involved in the political process. Otherwise, we abdicate power to those whose designs are almost entirely selfish."
--Gordon B. Hinckley in Stand a Little Taller pg.15

This statement echos the quote that is often attributed to Edmund Burke:
"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

We are in a war, and I write more about that elsewhere; but as I frequently say, scores of thousands of the apathetic or disinterested will be the downfall of our country and our way of life unless we can wake them up!

What we are trying to accomplish:
1) Shake people out of a slumber of ignorance.
2) Get more people involved in bringing these important principles to the attention of others.
3) Spark debate with opposing view points and possibly convert some, but if not, strengthen our position by juxtaposing its foolish contrast.

We must all do a little more, not only to protect the remaining liberty we have, but also to begin winning back the liberty we have already lost and continue to lose today.

I will do my part to bring to your attention ideas of simple things we must begin to do to close ranks and to strengthen our position. Let us Stand Tall! Stand on principle! And most importantly Stand together!
