Over the past couple years, I’ve begun thinking how all these “celebrities” have stated they would have moved when President Trump became president, but are still living in the Greatest country in the world. When one of these so called celebrities’ (WG) responded to the question asking for follow up to that statement, she brushed it off as just some talking point or joke, or something. At that moment I thought, “Is your word not your Bond, Woman!?”
Since then I’ve made a more conscious effort to only make statements or claims that I’m willing to put my Word, My dignity, My Life behind. I’ve also tried to get people to be sure themselves when they make statements and claims.
Ultimately what I believe it means is that your stand behind your words 100%. You keep your promises, and you speak truthfully and can back up what you say to the n-th degree to the best of your ability, and is something you would be willing to sacrifice your life for.

I have thoroughly annoyed more than one leftist when asked why I didn’t support _____ government program to help _____. My answer tends to be simple and to the point:
I’m not going to demand that money be taken from strangers under the threat of force to support moral and ethical priorities that are solely mine, nobody else’s. I am not a thief, and my integrity is not for sale.
Charity funded at gunpoint isn’t charity, it’s armed robbery.

When you look up the word HYPOCRITE in the dictionary,it should read ;see democrat or
celebrity.
Bond. Word Bond.
Almost the only time I ever say something that’s not true is when I’m joking or making up a story. And when I do, I make it clear that’s what I’m doing, so it’s not lying.
The only other time I’ll say something untrue is when doing so will put me or mine in danger. Like when, as happens to us all sooner or later, the guy in the bloody clothes shows up at the door carrying an axe and asks where the kids are. Odds are I’m not gonna point them out to him. Instead, I’ll direct him to that little S.O.B. down the street who keeps stomping through my flowerbed. As ya do.
There are plenty of ways to avoid giving out information or opinions that you don’t want to share without lying, so that’s no problem. I can’t think of any other justifications than what I’ve given for not being truthful.
(Stupid brat. I should invite him in for candy and feed him Drano…)
RE: the guy with the bloody clothes and the axe.
I’d invite him in and introduce him to my kids.
Of course, my kids are 145gr hollow point, and play tag at 1100fps….
Yeah, I have kids like that too. One of them is a Mossberg 500 that I adopted from a police department. The other is a little but fierce runt named Walther that holds 11 rds of 22LR. Prefers hollow point as well.
The signers of the Declaration of Independence certainly understood what this meant.
A rare thing. A much needed virtue.
