“Lost Glory of Americanism a Republic if you can keep it!”
There is a lost glory of Americanism, that ideal for which many have fought and died for. The departure from England at the beginning of our nation was one to create a new world and lose the old European system. There are many Patriots today in America. They come in all sizes, shapes, and races. The attraction to freedom and the constitutional guarantees is not bitten off because of race or sex. Freedom is innately in the soul. It feeds the appetite for that freedom which began so long ago. My own Grandfather and Great Grandfather knew of this well. As did our many forebears in our own family. The question today is, can we keep it, restore it, and continue to enjoy today with enemies in our congress, government, and law enforcement?

The Lost Glory of Americanism
Polyglot boarding house
But the real America is one I find my Great Grandfather, Charles E Smith had lived in. Charles had been home visiting his wife Clara in Azusa. He had returned the ninth to his Gold mine that was located up Coldwater Canyon. He had Henry Messinger with him who had been working with him for eight months. The Snowstorm that hit was brutal and piled up foot after foot of snow. While sleeping in the cabin, Grandpa and his helper in the mine died; being swept away by an avalanche that hit. The ideal was in owning a gold mine, mining it, and dreaming a dream. Although he died in the process of his dream, he was able to pursue it and live it out, although it cost him his life.
“This is a nation — not a polyglot boarding house. There is not room in the country for any 50-50 American, nor can there be but one loyalty — to the Stars and Stripes.”
Teddy Roosevelt
Americanism in its truest sense is also found in my grandfather who worked as a Game warden for California. Our family was stationed in Catalina. While there he became the city manager for Avalon and the First Fire chief in Catalina. He had been featured in the L.A. Times numerous times and in an article by John Cassidy on August 11th, 1935, the description given of Grandpa was this: Capt. L.G. smith, assistant game warden, Los Angeles County. He oversaw the patrol boat “Cobra”, operating out of Santa Catalina Island. The article was a series of questions and answers for the paper.
The Lost Glory of Americanism: Family Roots and Americanism
He lived large, had a cattle ranch in his later years when I came to know him. It was more of a hobby ranch I think, but it was fabulous and located in Grass Valley, in Northern California. He caught bad guys at sea, operated the boat Cobra up and down the coast of California. Even during the War, from what I understand he was in this capacity. Catching illegal vessels and watching enemy craft, he always had a revolver and a rifle with him.
Now I use this as an illustration for a purpose. Our family came from Germany on the one side as Schmidt and due to so much anti-German hate at the time, our family changed it to Smith. My Grandmother came from Norway. Both families immigrated, legally to this nation. They followed the laws. Both families did not continue the native tongue but instead learned and used English. Today we can trace our roots through these two families who came to previous lines that go back to the founding of our nation. My German Grandfather and my grandmother who was from Norway had lineages as well. My Great Grandfather Charles had married Clara German. It is that line and those who make it up which leads to the early years of our nation. Our family originally had property in New York, which was taken from us; absconded by the government. I still have the papers from the last court settlement on the case in which our family sought to have the land given back.
In truth today, I do not speak Norwegian or German. I am an American whose roots goes back a long way in this nation. I am also a Christian which flows from my Norwegian Grandmother, then to my father who made sure it was found in me. My wife’s roots go back in this state alone to the very beginning of this part of the country. In the time of the Indian wars, stagecoaches, and when there was not much here in the way of people. Her ancestors settled this land of Wyoming and in some parts were the very first White Settlers there. This is Americanism, in the truest sense. This is not my version of what Americanism is, it is Teddy Roosevelt’s definition.
The Lost Glory of Americanism: One flag, One loyalty
“In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here does in good faith become an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man’s becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American.
“We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile. We have room for but one language here and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, and American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding house; and we have room for but one soul [sic] loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people.”
Theodore Roosevelt Quotes
In the above quotes, we find that Lou Dobbs of CNN fame said of the quotes above from President Theodore Roosevelt in a letter to the American Defense Society in 1919, 10 years after his presidency; were his favorites. He has a portion of the above letter on his post regarding it’s truth. Lou Dobbs agreed that any immigrant who comes to America should do so in ‘good faith’, that is they should become an ‘American and assimilate themselves’ and their families as an American; “But this is predicated upon the man’s becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American”.
Further Lou Dobbs agreed with Roosevelt that “We have room for one flag, the American flag”. “We have room for one language here and that is the English language”. We are not in America as “dwellers in a polyglot boarding house”. In addition there is only room in America for “one loyalty and this is loyalty to the American people”.
Too bad our government officials and those who vote for them do not agree with the above statements. We have had presidencies in America where the one in office does not agree with Roosevelts words on America nor becoming an American. For those of this ilk are those who welcome Globalism, Marxism, or other agenda to take over our country. I can name former President Obama, along with the current occupant of the Oval office President Biden who both work to destroy even more the America we have come to know. Besides those two, know that former Presidents, cabinets, and officials in our government have embraced Globalism, unity of nations under one government, one justice, and one union. In spite of our national identities as Americans, the government of the United states sees itself as the World’s policeman leading the charge into the One world order.
“There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide,” and James Madison wrote in Federalist 10 that “Democracies have, in general, been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”
John Adams | The Lost Glory of Americanism: “A Republic if you can keep it”
Now I do not agree with endless wars, foreign policy agreements that this nation has entered with. Firmly that our Forefathers wanted to rid themselves of the European and Britannia influences for the last time. My forebearers did not come to this country from regions in Europe and Scandinavian nations to be involved again in their socialist and leftist policies.
The Lost Glory of Americanism: Two Struggles
I am a citizen of the United States. However, know that primarily that I am an American born and bred, then raised up here. I have roots of an immigrant, but roots that go back to the founding of this great nation. I do not want to be Arab, European, or any other persuasion. I am Christian and do not want to be anything else. I will not live under Islamic sharia rule, European rule, one world order rule, or with a government that has given up the very foundations that we were founded upon. The political arm in Washington DC has been thwarting the very constitution that we have. The forces that want to bring the world of America down have succeeded in doing so. We do not live in America, per-se; we live in another United Kingdom, another state of the European Union, another member of the United Nations, and another participant in NATO.
In my being are two struggles. The first one is to warn, teach, preach, and exhort with all my being the Lord Jesus Christ. To fulfill my calling as a Watchman and a Preacher for the Lord in heralding his gospel and his kingdom. I will not recant, change, or move away from this. As the United States continues to push away from its Judeo-Christian roots, the very faith I grew up with as a boy is now becoming anathema. It is viewed as an enemy in many nations of the world and by many people. Yet, as we go through this struggle, there is only One Lord and one redeemer; the one to whom I am committed.
The second struggle is to my American ideals. To what my forebears, forefathers of this nation, and to my own blood who proceeded me. My grandfather and great grandfather would not understand the America I live in today. In fact, I am sure both of them as with all my heritage that has preceded me; yes, every one of them would fight this today. To all those who today work to destroy the America I knew and grew up with as a boy, know this you can never replace America as it was. Yours is a cursed road to travel. You work as though the idea and the lineage that I and others have in this nation is the enemy. There are those in this nation that may be US citizens, but at heart they are an enemy to everything the founding fathers believed in. For decades, our politicians have been slowly diluting the foundations of America with people who view America I know and live in with those who want to change it. Today, these people are working harder than ever to finish the destruction of Old Glory as we know it. They hate America, the constitution and all it stands for. They also hate Patriots, Christians, and others who stand by this nation.
The Lost Glory of Americanism: “A Republic if you can keep it”
Teddy Roosevelt said we are not a ‘polyglot boarding house’, that is a mixture or a multitude of people with a multitude of nationalities who all have obedience to another nation. This is what Europe and the UK have become. Today we have many nationalities, from many nations, with many faiths, with all different loyalties. Gone is the day as Roosevelt would say of Immigrants that would have “One sole loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people”. America is supposed to be of the people, by the people, and for the people. If we replace traditional America with those from other nations who view our way of life as anathema, then those people will want change and a new country. A new nation which will not be American, nor free, nor a republic, and certainly not one that will rise to any length of greatness. Today, simply put; our nation and its ideals have been replaced by governmentalism and Globalism in order to destroy the last vestiges of independent thought and faith to that idea.
I have but room for one allegiance only that is to Jesus Christ. But I also have a duty but one nation to which I was born, that is America. If America as I know is gone, so be it. Yet the idea and ideal of that is not dead but burns bright in the hearts of the patriot American. The Patriot American is not white, nor black; Christian or Atheist, Muslim nor Christian; the Patriot American is one who forms the battle line to protect freedoms so that all of us can live under the true banner of freedom without hate but based on the Constitution.
At the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, Franklin was queried as he left Independence Hall on the final day of deliberation. In the notes of Dr. James McHenry, one of Maryland’s delegates to the Convention, a lady asked Dr. Franklin “Well Doctor what have we got, a republic or a monarchy.”
Benjamin Franklin | The Lost Glory of Americanism: “A Republic if you can keep it”
Finally, in all this, I direct your attention to the fact that the downfall of America has been morally. These people, who were free, living in a republic and had leaders like Teddy Roosevelt have given themselves over to abominations. It is also in this same vein, that our Churches have been diluted and deluded. They are far from the truth of the Apostolic doctrines and now stand next to the traditions of men.
Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
Isaiah 50: 1, 10 | The Lost Glory of Americanism: “A Republic if you can keep it”
Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
Both Christianity and America have been replaced by modernity. In short, if we could keep the America I knew and grew up with and still be corrupt and full of abominations; it still would not be a nation I would want. We need to walk in the old ways of the bible, the truth of God, and get rid of lawlessness. This lawlessness is against the bible and its truth. We have forsaken truth and replace it on a whim and no prayer that will change anything
John Adams on ‘a moral and religious people’
But should the people of America once become capable of that deep simulation towards one another, and towards foreign nations, which assumes the language of justice and moderation while it is practicing iniquity and extravagance and displays in the most captivating manner the charming pictures of candor, frankness, and sincerity, while it is rioting in rapine and insolence, this country will be the most miserable habitation in the world; because we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion.

Thanks Watchman…yes, sad to see that our America has faded, and it is all by design. The corrupt evil/one world gloablists have been instramental in corrupting the school children, for many generations. Each generation is more selfish/self absorbed/self centered and awless than the previous generation. One author has written that all of the teachers in America, have been bathed/marinated in anti American marxist doegma. So called white privelege/white patriarchy/white rascism etc etc ad nauseum has been drilled into the mushy “brains” of these academics. But we will stay true to the teachings of our Lord. No matter what comes of this lawlessness, we will not deviate from our faith!!! Our Lord’s peace to you and Tower…Amen.
