Today is the anniversary of Robert E. Lee's birthday, the 201st anniversary to be exact. Despite the things this great man did and said, he remains largely forgotten now by most Americans, including Southerners. The few who do, have no idea what they are talking about, because they refer to him as being some traitorous Confederate who fought for slavery. Disabuse yourself of those silly notions, and read last year's tribute to General Lee. (Click Here.)
This year in honor of General Lee, I am reproducing in full his famous letter written to his son, Custis, on the importance of doing one's Duty. Enjoy.

Robert E. Lee, A Letter to His Son
You must study to be frank with the world. Frankness is the child of honesty and courage. Say just what you mean to do, on every occasion, and take it for granted that you mean to do right. If a friend asks a favor, you should grant it, if it is reasonable; if not, tell him plainly why you cannot; you would wrong him and wrong yourself by equivocation of any kind.
Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or keep one; the man who requires you to do so is dearly purchased at the sacrifice. Deal kindly but firmly with all your classmates; you will find it the policy which wears best. Above all, do not appear to others what you are not.
If you have any fault to find with any one, tell him, not others, of what you complain; there is no more dangerous experiment than that of undertaking to be one thing before a man's face and another behind his back.
We should live, act, and say nothing to the injury of any one. It is not only for the best as a matter of principle, but it is the path of peace and honor.
In regard to duty, let me, in conclusion of this hasty letter, inform you that nearly a hundred years ago there was a day of remarkable gloom and darkness - still known as "the dark day" - a day when the light of the sun was slowly extinguished, as if by an eclipse.
The Legislature of Connecticut was in session, and as its members saw the unexpected and unaccountable darkness coming on, they shared in general awe and terror. It was supposed by many that the last day - the day of judgment - had come. Some one, in the consternation of the hour, moved an adjournment.
Then there arose an old Puritan legislator, Davenport, of Stamford, and said that, if the last day had come, he desired to be found at his place doing his duty, and therefore moved that candles be brought in, so that the House could proceed with its duty.
There was quietness in that man's mind, the quietness of heavenly wisdom and inflexible willingness to obey present duty. Duty, then, is the sublimest word in our language. Do your duty in all things like the old Puritan. You cannot do more; you should never wish to do less. Never let your mother or me wear one gray hair for any lack of duty on your part.

IKE'S FAREWELL
AND AN UNHEEDED WARNING
47 years ago today, on January 17, 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower addressed the American People for the final time. Eisenhower, who was one of the few decent presidents of the 20th century, delivered one of the better farewell addresses given in our history. Eisenhower's speech has gone down in history as his farewell address. In it he gave a stern warning to the American People, which was largely ignored and is now all but forgotten.
Eisenhower warned against what he called the "Military Industrial Complex". He feared that this complex could one day threaten the Liberty of the American People. But, what exactly was Eisenhower warning us about? Simple - the business of war.
War always has been, and always will be, a big business. There have been men since the dawn of time, who have made their fortunes off war. Every war that has ever been fought had its ties in money, or something just as valuable. Even our own War for Independence had money, rather taxes, as its root cause. And the direct cause of the War Between the States was money and resources, despite what you were taught.
Eisenhower knew that the war business was set to take over the nation. Men would rise and fall from power all thanks to war. Thousands, if not millions, of Americans would pay the price to keep that war machine going, and keep those war-makers back pockets filled.
Take the time for a little bit of history, and click here to read Eisenhower's Farewell Address. You can also listen to the speech in MP3 format. Or, if you'd prefer, I have managed to find a complete video version that you can view below. The video quality is not that great, but it fulfills its purpose.

Even the little bit of truth that trickles down through the corrupted Main Stream Media, it is evident that our sovereignty is being sold out from underneath us.

Bush Delivers Arms Sale to Saudi Arabia
Associated Press
Coinciding with Bush's trip, the Bush administration in Washington notified Congress on Monday that it will offer Saudi Arabia the chance to buy sophisticated Joint Direct Attack Munitions - or "smart bomb" - technology and related equipment, the State Department said. The administration envisions the transfer of 900 of the precision-guided bomb kits, worth $123 million, that would give the kingdom's armed forces highly accurate targeting abilities. The sale is part of an overall $20 billion weapons package for Saudi Arabia, administration officials say.

7-year plan aligns U.S. with Europe's economy
Rules, regs to be integrated without congressional review
By Jerome R. Corsi/© 2008 WorldNetDaily.com
The Transatlantic Policy Network – a non-governmental organization headquartered in Washington and Brussels – is advised by the bi-partisan congressional TPN policy group, chaired by Sen. Robert Bennett, R-Utah. The plan – currently being implemented by the Bush administration with the formation of the Transatlantic Economic Council in April 2007 – appears to be following a plan written in 1939 by a world-government advocate who sought to create a Transatlantic Union as an international governing body. An economist from the World Bank has argued in print that the formation of the Transatlantic Common Market is designed to follow the blueprint of Jean Monnet, a key intellectual architect of the European Union, recognizing that economic integration must inevitably lead to political integration.

FREEDOM QUOTES VOL. XXXIX
"The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed and that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of press."
- Thomas Jefferson
"Under every government the dernier [Fr. last, or final]resort of the people, is an appeal to the sword; whether to defend themselves against the open attacks of a foreign enemy, or to check the insidious encroachments of domestic foes. Whenever a people...entrust the defence of their country to a regular, standing army, composed of mercenaries, the power of that country will remain under the direction of the most wealthy citizens."
- Anonymous 'framer' of the US Constitution; Independent Gazetteer, January 29, 1791
"After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people
who didn't do it. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military."
- William S. Burroughs (1914-1997), American novelist, essayist, social critic
"The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers delegated directly to the citizen, and is excepted out of the general powers of government. A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power."
- Cockrum v. State; 24 Tex.394, at 401-402 (1859)
"While the people have property, arms in their hands, and only a spark of noble spirit, the most corrupt Congress must be mad to form any project of tyranny."
- Rev. Nicholas Collin (1746-1831) Episcopal pastor, friend of Benjamin Franklin
"Are we at last brought to such an humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our own defense? Where is the difference between having our arms under our own possession and under our own direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?"
- Patrick Henry
"The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able may have a gun."
