“Valediction — noun, An act of bidding farewell; a leave-taking; a speech or statement made as a farewell.” — Merriam Webster Dictionary
(Note from Mike: As time gets close, I wanted to get these words out while my mind is still clear. Don’t write my obituary just yet, but these words needed saying.)
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. — Ephesians, Chapter 4, 1-6.
“I love my country, my God and my kind. I have served them all and I want no praise of song or prose.” — C.C. Sheats, Alabama Unionist
Valediction of a Three Percenter
For many years I have introduced myself as a Christian libertarian who believed in God, free men, free markets, the rule of law under the Founders’ Republic, and that the Constitution extended to everyone regardless of race, creed, color or religion. As I take my leave from this existence, I must admit that the Constitution, as the Founders crafted it, is now or soon will be dead — killed by corruption and collectivism and mostly by our own sloth and moral cowardice in opposing its enemies.
