So many things I truly love: ~ My horse Onassis, little Bea that is right by my side every moment, total and true happyness when I'm riding, everything is gone and I am in a moment of real peace, nothing quite like being in a full canter through a open field with wild flowers surrounding you, or on top of a mountain on a horse looking down, all animals, to me they are perfection, love to be in the wilderness to me that is where i feel at home...hanging out with my friends..nothing better in the morning than hot chocolatet and pop tarts with sprinkles, that perfect time of the day when the sun is going down, love my car at night with the top down heater & music on level nine, wide open spaces, the smell of a nice fire, the smell of dirt at night, the smell of horse sweat, Ralph Lauren perfume, running, skiing, jousting, ring spearing, cattle sorting, polo, swords, tapestries, antiques, art, Earl Grey tea, sushi, good books, history, passion, "quotes", Latin is the most beautiful language, poems, patriots, politics, beautiful vampires, driving fast, dancing in the barn, cowboy hats, good music, nobility, honor, loyalty, chilvalry~


~In Praise Of The Horse~ Ronald Duncan: "Where in this wide world can man find nobility without pride, friendship without envy, or beauty without vanity? Here where grace is laced with muscle and strength by gentleness confined. He serves without servility; he has fought without enmity. There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent; there is nothing so quick, nothing more patient.

Rebels and Radicals: The New American Revolution
Category: News and Politics
Don’t Tread On Me

For those of us that do, those of us who know a new revolutionary war is upon us, what do we do? How do we fight? What can we do? The answer is quite simple. The myth of the vampire stands as an effective model for what we are up against, a demonic creature that feeds upon the living, stalking about in darkness, relying upon misdirection, disguise, and seduction. Of the weapons used to defeat the creature, none are more effective and final than the light of day. Once illuminated, the creature bursts into a harmless pile of dust. What we need is to shine the light of day on those radicals who would destroy us. Take Van Jones as a recent example. Glenn Beck was his Van Helsing, casting the light of scrutiny on his person and history. That light destroyed him. It will destroy them all. But it is up to us to shed it, to be bearers of light in dark times. We do that by finding diverse and trustworthy sources of real news, becoming our own private news desk, reading history, strengthening ourselves spiritually in whatever way we know how, sharing what we learn with our friends and family, demanding answers and accountability from our public officials, and sticking by our guns in the face of ridicule, ad hominem attack, and attempts at character assassination. We need not answer charges of Nazism, racism, fear-mongering and the like. Those who believe such nonsense about conservatives and conservatism will believe it regardless. As Thomas Jefferson once said, “An enemy generally says and believes what he wishes.” We need not convince the whole world. The people we have to reach are those who remain asleep, like we once were, going about their lives as though they live in peaceful times with their liberties secure. Lethargic and complacent we may tend to be; but, once stirred, there is no greater force for good in this world than an American fighting for liberty.

I leave you with an oft cited quote whose author remains unverified, but whose truth seems self-evident:

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years.

Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage.

We hit apathy a long time ago. Let’s see if we can’t skip a step, shall we? Let us follow this Jeffersonian charge: “As our enemies have found, we can reason like men. So now let us show them we can fight like men also.”

- Walter Scott Hudson

"SOLA VIRTUS INVICTA" “ The emblem of the Order is a white eight-pointed cross embellished in the four principal angles alternately with a lion passant guardant and a unicorn passant. The four arms of the cross signify the cardinal virtues: Prudence, Temperance, Justice and Fortitude. The eight points signify the beatitudes: Humility, Compassion, Courtesy, Devotion, Mercy, Purity, Peace and Endurance. From Chivalry by Leon Gautier: Thou shalt defend the Church. Thou shalt repect all weaknesses, and shalt constitute thyself the defender of them. Thou shalt love the country in the which thou wast born. Thou shalt not recoil before thine enemy. Thou shalt make war against the Infidel without cessation, and without mercy. Thou shalt perform scrupulously thy feudal duties, if they be not contrary to the laws of God. Thou shalt never lie, and shall remain faithful to thy pledged word. Thou shalt be generous, and give largess to everyone. Thou shalt be everywhere and always the champion of the Right and the Good against Injustice and Evil.
