As you know, I am a Providentialist. I believe America was put here for a reason. In the scope of all History and its constant glorification of the ruthless exercise of power by the few over the many, it only made sense that the Creator would bring together the essence of the better alternatives, then provide a place with just the right amount of sunshine, water and shade, and allow it to grow.
     All in all, it has been a very good thing. But not just for us lucky enough to call ourselves Americans, but for all mankind, for indeed, even long ago, when there were only whispers of a place called America, a place where men and women could walk free and write their own laws, life changed for those folks too, as it always does when hope suddenly appears where before there had been no hope.
     America brought liberty to us, and hope to the world. America is not just a place, or a people, but an ideal and a shining beacon, just as Ronald Reagan said.

     It's not for me to question the logic, or the justice of Providence. He can be pretty tough, first leading the children out of Egypt, then, after a series of displays of ingratitude, denying them entry into the Promised Land, instead making them squat in the Wilderness for forty years, until a new generation could be raised to see what lay on the other side. He can do that, and He might again, and not a one of us can't say we haven't asked for it.
    Que sera, sera.
    But see this experiment, this grand plan, this great hope, simply fade back into the bowels of history, as it had been before, just a primitive hope in the hearts of men and women with a boot on their neck? I can't know God's logic, but I don't think that is His plan.
    So I am upbeat about what I see. Very upbeat, for I believe we are about to enter a period of true fulfillment of the Constitutional promise.

    As you know, we consider the Constitution to be the finest secular document ever written, and which lays out a blueprint for every man and woman alive to build their own House and make reciprocal arrangements with their neighbors to protect that house and their line in perpetuity. We believe the Constitution holds open doors (life, liberty, property and happiness) for men and women to go through at a time and place of their choosing, and promises to keep them open at all times, without lock or toll.
   All the Constitution asked of ordinary citizens (the masses) is that we be good citizens, to tend to the stability of our House...and to stay vigilant with the people we elect to represent us in the various levels of government, for the Founders always knew anyone elected to public office immediately becomes a potential thief and scoundrel.
   We also believe the Constitution presumed certain natural enemies, who, over the years have gone by different names, but all carry the same suitcase, filled with elitism and a lust for power over other men's lives. The Modern Left fits that bill today just as aristocrats did in 1770.
   In our opinion the Constitution also inferred a small class of Americans who would protect ordinary citizens from the never-ending attempts of the elitists to regain power, while ordinary citizens went about their lives building and growing.
   As you also may know, we have gone on quite a bit here about the failure of those Protectors of that promise, for our streets our filled with poseurs to the true purposes of the Constitution, and pseudo-conservatives, who while pompously beating their chests about their conservatism, defend nothing past the edge of their own front yards. Some of them even used to be my friends.
 
   Our own skills here at SICCM are in understanding the machinery of the Left, something we've been doing for nearly thirty years. But with the imminent election of President Obama a year ago we turned and began to inquire into what needed to be done to replace the so-called Protectors out there, to re-awaken a love of Liberty.
    What I can report now is just how pleased I am to see so many ordinary Americans meet this new challenge head-on, and undertake to do what needs to be done to create a new class of Protectors from the grass roots, outside the traditional framework of political and economic leadership.
    Since the Founding in 1787, through several wars, two civil wars, not one, the American people did their part by building not just the finest economy, but the brightest beacon of freedom imaginable. But even after Pearl Harbor the American people never really picked up the sacred documents of our Founding and studied them as Christians might their Bible at Thursday night Bible Study. They still left it up to their elected officials and non-elected Protectors in business and industry and elsewhere to keep the barn door shut. For most citizens, from 1787 to 2008, the Big Picture never got any bigger.
    That has changed, as in every state, county and city, in dozens of groups, we are raising up a new army of citizens-Protectors with just the right understanding of the Constitution's promise, our potential, and their role in it. From them a new leadership will arise, and sooner not later.
    When this is over, and it will be over, and we will will win, however long it takes, America will find herself on the verge of truly fulfilling the Constitutional promise, for at no time in our history will so many Americans know so much about our history, the Constitutional blueprint, and our potential, as they will then. And they (you) will pass it on, and insist that the schools pass it on...with enthusiasm and esprit...and heaven help the nay-saying bureaucrat who stand in the way.
    Things are looking up, so be of good cheer...but watch your topknot.
