“Sacred Honor”

Article by John Liberty, July 4, 2012, RedState

"I've always been a fan of the Declaration of Independence as a written work. Though some find the language of the time difficult to decipher and a bit wordy, to me it is a classic piece of journalism that answers the who, what, where, when, why and how of the conditions that led to a Revolution. The Declaration was a long time coming, having been the product of decades of abusive policies and foreign rule. The document simply recited those conditions and offered a remedy.

The most intriguing concept of all can be found in the final section of the final sentence, '... we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.' The word honor is singled out here.

To the signers, their lives were not sacred. Their fortunes were not sacred. They appear to have fully realized that the only thing likely to endure an armed rebellion, if it came to that, would be the ideas, beliefs and faith that formed the philosophical heart of what we today call liberty.

Like the Biblical character Job, the men who signed the Declaration went through some tough times before and during the Revolution. Once the Declaration was delivered to the British, the signers were branded criminals and could not return to their homes out of fear of arrest and imprisonment. As it became evident that peaceful resolution was not possible and armed conflict began, many lost their homes, businesses and farms.

Yet they stood their ground, having dedicated their lives to the principles of liberty, equality, and justice. The stories of how some lost everything and died in poverty are as inspiring as the tales of those who lived past the Revolution to take part in the framing of the Constitution and the founding of a nation."

So What Happened To All Those Who Signed The Declaration With Their Sacred Honor?

1. Do public school teachers across our nation teach our youth about their lives?

2. Obama doesn't care, to him all whites are "typical white people, ( his words), a caustic-divisive leader educated by Davis, Ayers, Alinsky, Soros and Ginsburg.

 

Listen now to this short history lesson, remembering others whose sacrifices have kept us safe vs. those who have tried to divide and conquer us. Then go and seek out those who want to bring us together again.
