Hello there, stranger! My name is Jay. I'm a Christian, I love talking about the Bible and theology, and I like history, especially WWII history, and of course chess.

If you disagree with anything I say or have said, remember that you are wrong because I am always right. If you disagree with that, then we can have a civil discussion where I will prove to you how right I am

The American's Creed
Written 1917 by William Tyler Page, Accepted by the U.S. House of Representatives 1918

"I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies."

“Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not." - Unknown

"If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking." - George S. Patton

 “It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt.” - John Philpot Curran

"You're never beaten until you admit it." - George S. Patton

"Our best protection against bigger government in Washington is better government in the states." - Dwight D. Eisenhower

"The middle of the road is all of the usable surface. The extremes, right and left, are in the gutters." - Dwight D. Eisenhower

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron." - Dwight D. Eisenhower

"[A] black belt does not do you any good if you're wearing it for a blindfold." - Paul Harrell

"I heartily accept the motto,—'That government is best which governs least;' and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe,—'That government is best which governs not at all;' and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. ... But, to speak practically and as a cit­i­zen, unlike those who call themselves no-gov­ernment men, I ask for, not at once no gov­ernment, but at once a better government." - Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience
