Are You A Person Inimical To The Liberties Of America?

(Previously posted on original "Tracy's Thoughts" in July 2014)

Awhile back I did a little bit of reading about the Loyalist/Tories of the Revolutionary War. These persons were said to be "inimical to the liberties of America" by the Patriots of the day back then. I'm sure the Patriots of today can name those same type persons that presently fall into that same category.

Here is a bit of history that I found very interesting and perhaps with a little rewrite it could apply to a possible 2nd American Revolution. Or should that be called another "Civil War" on American soil? It would be the third one, if you take into consideration that the first Revolutionary War was actually a conflict within the British empire and the Colonies over internal issues of rights and power. And of course then there was the one actually called the "Civil War", by some at least, which was the one between the Northern and Southern states of these United States of America.

Today's Patriots, would you be willing to sign an Oath or "Association" much like this one from Tyron County in North Carolina in 1775?

"The unprecedented, barbarous and bloody actions committed by the British Troops on our American Brethren near Boston on the 19th of April & 20th of May last, together with the Hostile operations & Traiterous Designs now Carrying on by the Tools of Ministerial Vengeance & Despotism for the Subjugating all British America, suggest to us the painful necessity of having recourse to Arms for the preservation of those Rights & Liberties which the principles of our Constitution and the Laws of God, Nature, and Nations have made it our duty to defend.

We therefore, the Subscribers Freeholders & Inhabitants of Tryon County, do hereby faithfully unite ourselves under the most sacred ties of Religion, Honor & Love to Our Country, firmly to Resist force by force in defence of our Natural Freedom & Constitutional Rights against all Invasions, & at the same time do solemnly engage to take up Arms and Risque our lives and fortunes in maintaining the Freedom of our Country, whenever the Wisdom & Council of the Continental Congress or our Provincial Convention shall Declare it necessary, & this Engagement we will continue in and hold sacred 'till a Reconciliation shall take place between Great Britain and America on Constitutional principles which we most ardently desire. And we do firmly agree to hold all such persons Inimical to the liberties of America, who shall refuse to subscribe to this Association."

Just change a few of the words to what is happening today and there you go...

Anyone tending to obstruct or harm, to be unfriendly or hostile towards the liberties of America should not be trusted!

So, are you a person inimical to the liberties Of America?
