High Noon.

Legend has it that, as a boy, the first POTUS said “I cannot tell a lie.” By all accounts he carried that faithfulness through a life driven by supreme accomplishment — a transparent life documented in the most intimate detail. Fast forward 225 years and reflect on the reigning POTUS who cannot tell the truth. By all accounts, the current POTUS vaulted through life with little or no resume of accomplishment — a life for the most part undocumented, as murky as the black rivers of low country South Carolina. The first POTUS surrounded himself with men of renown based on character, integrity, intellect and service — Thomas Jefferson (Secretary of State), Alexander Hamilton(Secretary of the Treasury), Henry Knox (Secretary of War) and Edmund Randolph (Attorney General). Logically, he chose leaders who respected his values. The current POTUS also selects people who embrace his values, primary among them his unerring devotion to deceit. Clinton and Kerry are established liars; Holder is a virtuoso liar; Jay Carney is a liar; Lois Lerner is a liar; Susan Rice is a liar; Timothy Geithner is a liar. But you must give them a break. You have to lie to shield the Liar-In-Chief. Duplicity — this is the state of leadership in America. And you can’t do anything about it. You can’t change it. You’re one person. One vote. You have no power. You look to media, with its powerful influence, to uphold the most basic principles of ethics and honesty. But a polluted media instead collaborates with corruption, and worse, encourages it. Now you understand how gangs intimidate a neighborhood. How dirty cops pervert law enforcement. How Governors engage in graft. How a paper hanger becomes a dictator. This is how — by good people doing nothing. Today, the majority of Americans weep for America. They grieve for the loss of virtue, decency and fidelity. They complain. For the most part, they complain individually — whispers in a hurricane. But you suggest good people can do something — if they do it together. At exactly High Noon on July 4, 2014, 100 million individuals can leave their houses, apartments, restaurants, offices, retail stores, beach chairs, cars — wherever they may be — and simply walk to the side of the nearest street carrying a one-word sign — “RESIGN” — and display it quietly for one hour. Since you may have trouble personally contacting 100 million people, you imagine it might be more productive if some organization like The Tea Party would take ownership. It’s a simple idea, really. Take to the street where you live or happen to be at 1200 hours. No marches. No speeches. No music. No demonstration. Send a message on America’s birthday. Send it to the man who dishonors the giants who lived and died for their country. Send it to the House which has the power of the purse but cowardly refuses to wield it. Send it to a media that long since dishonored its historic devotion to any Code of Ethics. Send it to the cronies, the sycophants, puppets and other bootlickers who conspire with the Liar-In-Chief. Send it to Americans who ask what their country can do for them rather than what they can do for their country. Send it to aliens who weaken your country and disrespect their own. Send it to State Governors who, united, have the power to restore America’s values. Send it to Congress because, truly, there is no Mr. Smith in Washington. Jimmy Stewart is dead, along with other Hollywood icons who did their duty as part of America’s greatest generation. It’s not a lot to ask in defense of your country, is it? One sign. One day. One hour. 100 million whispers. Pass it on. High Noon.
