LadyVal,
While I agree that "they" are still in charge, but at the end of the day GOD still has my sole. Destroy me in the flesh if they want, but I know my eternal destination. BHO and his ilk have no charge over me.  We are asked to say the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. 1. I do not make any allegiance to any flag, any nation or any fleshly being supposedly in charge. 2. My allegiance has been and will always be to the Lord Jesus Christ. In him and thru him is totally freedom and perfection, but the flesh will always war with the spirit. I have determined not to recite the pledge of allegiance ever again. The pledge is an indoctrination tool that has been used against us (the citizens of the sovereign states (especially here in the south)). Nationalism was/is the goal of this reciting instituted by these Godless people. Basically we have "those people" trying to usher in the Millennium without repentance. That is not going to work. Both the left and the right continually denigrate our southern symbols, our heritage, and our history. But as a collective, distinct, and unique people we have to stand to together collectively and individually for GOD, our southern heritage and history. We are commanded to separate ourselves from the sin, but not the sinner. In order for us to comply we must stand for the truth regardless of the consequences and be that beacon for the truth of GOD and our people. By Continually remaining silent we not only separate ourselves from the sin, but the sinner as well.
