Hello! My name is Mark Gates. I have spent a considerable part of my adult life observing how our government works and am fascinated by the dynamics in play at all levels, from my family (which I believe to be the smallest form of government) to world government which we have manifested today in the United Nations. I know “freedomwarrior” sounds a little hokey and I didn’t spend a lot of time thinking about it, but I think it’s apropos’, so I went with it.
I have a great love for this country. I have been able to attain a certain degree of success in my own business and have the freedom to do what I want, go where I want to go, and associate with whom I want. That includes worshiping my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I am most thankful for His intrusion into my life twenty plus years ago. My desire is to serve Him in all that I do, although many times I have fallen short. I thank Him for his long suffering with me.
Even though I have the freedoms and liberty we share, I believe we are giving them up. With every new government program and every new military endeavor, we have our pockets picked and our liberty diminished. We must stop this. We have morphed from a constitutional republic to a democracy, which would have our forefathers turning in their graves. A democracy is nothing other than tyranny in disguise. It is the tyranny of the majority. Escape from that is what so many that went before us gave their lives and fortunes for. I do not think it is too late, but we are close. A well organized revolt is needed and I would love to be a part of it. In fact, I believe this is my official foray into the revolution.
Probably the foremost reason I started this blog is to vent my rantings. My wife is tired of hearing them all, so I need another forum in which to do so. I hope you will read and consider my thoughts and ideas and if I change one persons mind for liberty or for the cause of Christ, I will consider myself successful.
Stay tuned, I will try to post regularly enough to keep it somewhat fresh. In fact my next immediate post will be about the State Republican Convention held in Rochester, MN last weekend.
