Perry mixed with So many other branches: Spriggs, Rimm, Lewis, King, Noble, Scott, Bland, Gentry, Adams, Lott... They all make me, ME!

The way of Great Nations, Kingdoms, Empires???

Egypt with her great African Glory approx. 3100-150 BCE

Assyria approx. 2371-612 BCE, Babylon approx. 1763-539 and Persia approx. 559-327 BCE with their Mesopotamian/Middle Eastern Glory

Greece approx. 338-148 BCE, Rome approx. 44BCE-476 CE, and Great Britain approx. 1600's to late 1800s/early 1900s CE with their European Glory

So many others with their Rise and Fall due to some common factors:

Inflation and Economic Faltering
Nationalist Arrogance and Intolerance for Diversity
Hoarding of Wealth and Resources by a select few
Elitist, Corrupted and Self Absorbed Leadership
along with other problems saw the end of these great institutions

America approx. 1776 -

Let's keep the dash going and truly carry out the spirit of our declaration that all men(mankind) are created equal, have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and our pledge that we are one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all!

Republican, Democrat, or Independent, all have the same mandate. You were elected to public office/service by the people to serve the people, so SERVE!

God continue to bless America as America truly learns to bless You by loving one another...Matthew 22:37-40; I Corinthians 13: 4-6; I John 4:8

We Have Come to Take Our Country Back????

Excuse my ignorance, but What does that mean??? Who exacty is WE??? Who are WE taking it back from???

Forgive me, but I have a problem with just how exclusive that WE has been for centuries in this great country of "ours".

I also find it quite interesting that NOW, WE want to take "our" country back.

WE need less government now that government may not be issuing additional tax breaks for the rich. WE need less government now that WE have spent Trillions of dollars in Iraq. WE need less government now that government has decided that all Americans should have access to adequate healthcare...Hmmm.

That's all I have to say about WE for now.
