Yesterday victims of the IRS targeting of conservative groups spoke before the House committee investigating this attempt to use the IRS as a political weapon. The most riveting testimony was by Becky Gerritson of Wetumpka, Alabama:
People like Mrs. Gerritson are held in complete contempt by the powers that be in Washington. From a town with a name like Wetumpka deep in the heart of fly over country she is naive enough to believe that what the Founding Fathers believed in when they set up this country still has meaning. She fails to understand that powerful forces in this administration want to make certain that people like her are converted into subjects, who will be politically powerless, destined only to provide taxes for her betters to spend. She must be crazy to think she and those who think like her can prevent this, no doubt as crazy as this gentleman:
What exactly has changed since 167 BC?
Then the king’s officers who were enforcing the apostasy came to the city of Modein to make them offer sacrifice. Many from Israel came to them; and Mattathias and his sons were assembled. Then the king’s officers spoke to Mattathias as follows:
“You are a leader, honored and great in this city, and supported by sons and brothers. Now be the first to come and do what the king commands, as all the Gentiles and the men of Judah and those that are left in Jerusalem have done. Then you and your sons will be numbered among the friends of the king, and you and your sons will be honored with silver and gold and many gifts.”
But Mattathias answered and said in a loud voice:
“Even if all the nations that live under the rule of the king obey him, and have chosen to do his commandments, departing each one from the religion of his fathers, yet I and my sons and my brothers will live by the covenant of our fathers. Far be it from us to desert the law and the ordinances. We will not obey the king’s words by turning aside from our religion to the right hand or to the left.”
When he had finished speaking these words, a Jew came forward in the sight of all to offer sacrifice upon the altar in Modein, according to the king’s command. When Mattathias saw it, be burned with zeal and his heart was stirred. He gave vent to righteous anger; he ran and killed him upon the altar. At the same time he killed the king’s officer who was forcing them to sacrifice, and he tore down the altar. Thus he burned with zeal for the law, as Phinehas did against Zimri the son of Salu. Then Mattathias cried out in the city with a loud voice, saying:
“Let every one who is zealous for the law and supports the covenant come out with me!”
(1st Maccabees 2:15-27)

Hi Becky Gerritson of Wetumka! I am proud to say that I agree with everything you stated in your emotional speech…God bless you for having the courage to stand up to obama and his kind…we need more like you in this great country, possibly to save it from the clutches of those who really don’t care about it, just what this country can DO for THEM. I hope and pray that those of us who really love the good ol’ USA vastly outnumber those who don’t, and that some day in the near future, we will see the country that so many of our brave young men and women died for become what it used to be…what it was founded on, and for which it is loved and respected throughout the world.
God bless you Becky Gerritson of Wetumka!!!
The Black Robe Brigade (Churchmen) led from the pulpit and also in battle
at the time of the American Revolution.
Today there is silence from both Protestant and Catholic Pastors and
Bishops regarding the tyranny of this administration. Why? They promote
socialism labeled as “social justice.” How deceptive!!!
