Deo Vindice!
Need I say more?

Great photos, Brock. The jury is still out on whether or not we are related to Jeff Davis, as we have many Davis relatives in Mississippi around the time of the war. A genealogist friend of my sister's and a direct descendant of J. Davis swears we are related through a mutual cousin, or something like that.

May have already as it has been some time since we spoke of the family history. I believe she was having some trouble confirming the exact identity of the person. Many records are just very difficult to find. But I am no expert and leave the family sleuth to uncover what she can. We hope to spend some time in Mississippi and Louisiana searching for more information about the family, but current matters are more pressing at this time.

pledge allegiance to the Constitution www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin644.htmUnder our form of government, the individual states are “free and independent.” (Declaration of Independence) That means, America is NOT ONE NATION, BUT A CONFEDERATION OF 50 NATION-STATES! When the socialist Francis Bellamy (who was also an ordained Baptist minister) penned the Pledge of Allegiance following the War Between the States, he did so to advance the socialistic vision of America (shared by Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson) as ONE NATION, meaning to have ONE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT. It was Bellamy’s way of repudiating the Jeffersonian philosophy of America’s founders that our country was a confederated republic. And, sadly, Bellamy’s scheme worked. Accordingly, if patriotic Americans want to recite a more accurate Pledge of Allegiance, they would quote the one authored by my constitutional attorney son, Timothy Baldwin: “I pledge allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America and to the Republics, which it protects, one federation, under God, composed of States, with Liberty and Justice for all.” Now that is a pledge that truly conforms to America’s legitimate, foundational principles! (Why not try that pledge at your next Boy Scout or civic meeting!) Plus, this pledge is also consistent with the oaths taken by members of the US military, local and State police agencies, judges, attorneys, and, yes, even the President and members of Congress.

pledge allegiance to the Constitution
I read something the other day which stated that the Founders would be appalled that we are pledging allegiance to a flag and not the Constitution.

Precisely, I love our Flag for what it is suppose to represent. The pledge should be to the Constitution.
The Oath which we took when we served is to the Constitution, to protect her at all cost. We are closer now than ever before having to honor our Oaths, but not on "Foreign Soil"!
