Why it Matters.

ENT TO THE SOLID WASTE INSTEAD...

So  how fun is that? Not at all...but I remembered I had all the old wire I ripped off the old fence to get rid of so I spent what remained of the morning dragging that up and putting on my trailer and hauled to the solid waste facility.  That is a place where we take our trash and recyclables to be dealt with.  So it's was not easy getting that wire into those tall bins!! I had 4 large bundles of wire about 4 ft square to toss in..I managed tho. 

Did the rug first it came out really good fresh and clean and Flossy slept on it...grrr she just won't stay in her bed  she goes back n forth Annie stays in her bed all night...I have tried moving Floss's bed that is not the problem, I think since she has long hair she gets hot. 

SO they flew Trump off to the hospital...I battled Covid alone on my couch he gets a trip to the hospital.  I'm still not fully convinced he is ill we shall see,  my new conspiracy theory he is trying to gain a sympathetic vote...if he reappears in about 2 weeks Pale and thinner then and only then will I believe it or if he goes on life support!!  I have no sympathy for him.  

So my sis and her DAR group  are having a meeting soon, and this time they will share some info about their Patriot.  See a REAL Patriot is someone who fought for the independence of our nation from the British Rule...NOT these red necks running around with Confederate flags...that flag is NOT a US FLAG.  

So our Patriot was Rueben Roberts.  He enlisted in the Continental Army  in April of 1775 in Hillsboro NC.  He fought in 2 grueling and losing battles under the not so wise leadership of Gen George Washington! Brandywine in Sept 11, 1777 and Germantown Oct 4th, 1777 where he was wounded in the arm.  His arm worsened and he lost some use of it, so in June of 1778 he was given a medical release...but he re-enlisted in  1780 in the NC Militia and was involved in the Battle of Kings Mountain here in SC.  I live in a Battleground county...the British under Cornwallis who defeated US and had a camp here on the South end of town...after the Battle of Camden victory Cornwallis marched north and took Cheraw, but were met with a defeat at Kings Mountain where our Patriot was fighting....and so he turned south and went for Charleston...Marched  the road to Charleston (named for the villian King Charles the II) and this road became known as the King's Highway..

Our Patriot Rueben is buried in Warren County TN where he moved his family after the war...and where my family line was begun.  If he had not survived that wound I would not be here today!!  My line went through his son William C, and then his daughter Susanah Roberts, and her dgtr Amanda America W Roberts, then her daughter Dovie E Roberts,  And then my Mother's mother Emma Dee Keener. 
 This is my Mom's line...tomorrow is her birthday she would have been 96. 
The Roberts were of strong physical character, they all lived in the old ways and they passed that strength to my Mom who passed it to me.  I am a Proud American I am not a Conservative, and I will be happy when REAL Patriotisms is restored to the USA.  

George Washington was a surveyor and farmer, he would roll over in his grave to see the likes of what is in our White House now...yes he owned slaves.  That error in our judgment was corrected!! No once can erase our sorted past but we prevailed beyond that...we must continue to prevail beyond what was wrong and continue to spread freedom, liberty, and personal rights not accept the fear and tyranny that Trump represents.  We took up arms to defeat people such as him and  King Charles the II...don't forget his predecessor who I wrote about previously on these pages was beheaded for trying to rule Britain with his singular fist!! 

We must not repeat the past...so many of the people alive today focus on the Civil War and almost made that their beginning...

That occurred during my GGG Grandmother Amanda's life time...most of the Civil War history in my family occurred on my Fathers side of my lineage and I will save that for another day...The Civil War was NOT our beginning, our roots go back to King Charles the First and his iron rule and his forcing of the Church of England down the throats of the Puritans.  The wanted freedom and so they came west...but they helped destroyed a Native population along the way...I know very little of my family's role in that.  I do know one in my family tree was killed and scalped by Indians when she visited a spring to get water, she was not in my direct line but she had 2 sons who carried her genetics into the future. 

I know we had many Hunters in family tree such as The Longhunter, Elisha Wallen (many spellings of the name exist today), who created an outpost Wallen's Station, and the likes of Daniel Boone crossed his path there It is said Wallen opened up these forest paths before Boone, here is one account if you're interested. ....he is on my Father's side of the family tree so much research needs to be done to unravel that part of our history. 

I think it is my family history that makes me despise the likes of Trump.  I do think it's in your blood when your family goes through generations and great lengths to be free and equal to see someone try to rip that down!! 

Sometimes you have to go beyond your recent past to understand WHO you truly are and what the scars left by battles of past leave in your genetics,  We must move away from the old laws of that time and allow our laws to catch up to our present.  Equal rights, Racial Equality, Fair Laws for all...these are our battles of today! We have not had a battle on our Soil in many  years I don't want the likes of Trump to change that...So he should have said "put your guns down and go home"...but he said "stand down and stand by."  

His ignorance and tyranny could destroy the progress we made and the Freedom we gained!! HIS family did not help us get to where we are today he has NO Patriot in his lineage....his German Roots came from  different path than ours...I have nothing against Germans my brother in law is German Im only stating Trump is not one of us, many of the Swedes who are settled in the midwest are NOT  one of us they came much later when the westward expansion happened.  A group of us have roots way beyond that and it is part of who we are.  We already fought for and won independence...we don't need to repeat that!!

Maybe now you can see why I despise the man he is. 
It's time to get this day rolling I think I will get some wood brought into the porch and get a fire ready to light  cause it's getting cold pretty fast, last night was in the upper 40's! Svengoolie has the Island of Terror tonight...can't wait to see that. 1966!!
