Extremist-Like

Contextually Speaking

I spent a year with a small Mississippi Restore Liberty team focused on researching illegal land sales to foreign nations with potential ties to combatant, non-US-friendly nations. I lost hours of sleep, gave up valuable time with my family and friends, did not get paid a dime, and read and researched until I felt my eyes would be permanently crossed and my hands permanently cramped. I learned more about intellectual property, commodities, agriculture, and global agendas to take over than I ever thought possible. No militant boots on the ground with violent, war-waging tactics are even needed. Still, it is far from over.

We were able to help educate many regarding the battle we faced in our state on illegal foreign land sales through a five-part article series.  Not only were many of our state’s citizens and elected leaders educated, but we were able to educate across the nation through these articles on the tactics and process of how our country was being captured with state legislatures complicit and willing to essentially aid and abet the selling out of our U.S. soil, our very homeland.

I am for freedom. I am for our Bill of Rights. I am for limited government per the Ninth and Tenth Amendments. Yet, I am amazed that United States citizens are so laissez-faire to the point they would sell their homeland right out from under their very feet, never to regain it. I am baffled that people would sell their land and/or rent their land to companies tied to nations entangled with combatant nations who will reap the benefits of what our country has to offer in terms of her natural resources. It would be grossly shameful to be at war, looking at the land you can no longer harvest from for your citizens because it is servicing other countries.

At what point do we realize that even freedom comes with moral responsibility? You can be SO free that it equates to enslavement.

I got labeled by a nauseatingly powerful state legislative official as an “extremist” for my views on loving the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution and wanting to preserve our nation for generations to come. As a result, meeting attendees were “shuffled,” and I essentially felt blacklisted from speaking with representation. I think this elected official was personally chafed because I held his feet to the fire on his treasonous voting record in the House. Do we know what the word, extreme, truly means and how to apply that word to our lives and circumstances properly?  

Webster’s 1828 Dictionary is my favorite, so I will reference it:

EXTRE'ME, adjective [Latin extremus, last.] Outermost; utmost; farthest; at the utmost point, edge or border; as the extreme verge or point of a thing.

1. Greatest; most violent; utmost; as extreme pain, grief, or suffering; extreme joy or pleasure.

2. Last; beyond which there is none; as an extreme remedy.

3. Utmost; worst or best that can exist or be supposed; as an extreme case.

4. Most pressing; as extreme necessity.

Extreme unction, among the Romanists, is the anointing of a sick person with oil, when decrepit with age or affected with some mortal disease, and usually just before death. It is applied to the eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth, hands, feet and reins of penitents, and is supposed to represent the grace of God poured into the soul.

Extreme and mean proportion, in geometry, is when a line is so divided, that the whole line is to the greater segment, as the segment is to the less; or when a line is so divided, that the rectangle under the whole line and the lesser segment is equal to the square of the greater segment.

EXTRE'ME, noun. The utmost point or verge of a thing; that part which terminates a body; extremity.

1. Utmost point; furthest degree; as the extremes of heat and cold; the extremes of virtue and vice. Avoid extremes. Extremes naturally beget each other.

There is a natural progression from the extreme of anarchy to the extreme of tyranny.

2. In logic, the extremes or extreme terms of a syllogism are the predicate and subject. Thus, 'man is an animal: Peter is a man, therefore Peter is an animal; ' the word animal is the greater extreme and man the medium.

3. In mathematics, the extremes are the first and last terms of a proportion; as, when three magnitudes are proportional, the rectangle contained by the extremes is equal contained by the extremes is equal to the square of the mean.

If we reason, we can see the word in and of itself can mean many things. We need to stop assigning an all-or-nothing definition to this word associated with all bad and look at it in the proper context of why it is assigned and how the word has been funneled into one, negative category only. We must be a bit more diligent not to fall into the trap. That word used today can be damaging to good people who love our country and want to see it reach its full potential. It can also properly describe people who behave like barbarians and have a disdain for our country and morality.

I place extreme value on what our nation’s founding intent was and is. I place extreme value on objective truth and morality. I place extreme value on the Biblical model of freedom within morality. I am extremely passionate about calling out treasonous voting records and political ideology that goes against the intent of our founding documents.

Am I “extreme”? That’s debatable depending on context. I place extreme value on moral absolutism and objective truth, and I make no apologies for it.

I place extreme value on upholding Biblical mandates, stewarding the national gifts we have been entrusted with, and seeking to preserve, defend, and protect the Constitution of the United States. We do not have to coerce, abuse, force, injure, or cause chaos in our areas of influence.

I place extreme condemnation on any person who thinks they can disagree so vehemently or be so disturbed by life that they take a life over it. I denounce elected officials using their service capacity to pillage their constituency so they get fat and happy off the backs of those they swore to be a voice and advocate for. I find that extremely deplorable, and I hold extreme disgust for all forms of government that do not start and end with We the People.

We already have powerful weapons that work: The Word of God, the United States Constitution, our reason and logic, and our responsibility to “tend the garden.”

We have an extremely sick country in need of divine healing.

“Extremism”by Peter Tanksley

I am extremist-like

Far as my country goes,

For I am prejudiced

Against her ancient foes.

Base quislings who betray

The land where I was born

Will only get from me

Unmitigated scorn.

Nor will in days to come

One turncoat be exempt

From patriot’s righteous wrath

And well deserved contempt.

Courageous Men-Peter Tanksley

This day demands courageous men

Who dauntless fight each evil trend.

Who dare to stand and speak for truth

Unfearful of harsh foes uncouth.

Men who affirm with bold reply,

“There are some things worse than to die.”

Men who choose death on freedom’s ground

Rather than live enslaved and bound.
