Declare Your Independence!
Freedom isn't free! It is a gift! Our forefathers believed that we are given certain rights by God; Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. American's of the past, the political and religious culture, accepted that there is a connection between personal freedom and personal responsibility. They understood that, for every question not answered by government, individuals, families, and neighborhoods must work out answers for themselves. So their Constitution was based on an implicit bargain -- the less government does for you, the less government can do to you.
The Obama administration has abandoned that truth. They want to be everything to the people. Though they operate under good intentions, everything that they touch has began to fall apart. Under the guise of being the savior, Obama has appealed to the people who are desperate for change and because of that desperation, have followed blindly, like sheep. People have been unaware that the path that they are taking, following the government of deceit, will erode the foundation that our country was founded on. As the people slowly begin to recognize the folly of this path, the government decides to take on further efforts because this American Regime believes that the solution to every problem is more government. To solve problems created by government's role in our schools or health care, Congress now proposes a complete federal takeover of these systems!
Senator Jim Demint has written a book called, "Saving Freedom" and he said, "What government doesn't understand is that they will always fail because they are not free. Private schools perform better than public schools. Private health insurance provides better care than government programs, and controls its own costs. And on and on. Without the competitive pressures and transparency of a free market, government agencies have no motivation to improve their services. In some recent cases, including the automobile bankruptcies and the Wall Street bailouts, even the rule of law itself has been subordinated to the good intentions of politicians and bureaucrats. "
Freedom requires, nay I say, demands responsibility. It is human nature to "pass the buck" and just allow "the experts" to handle things so that we can get on with the business of making ends meet. Most people don't want to have the responsibility. No way, no how! As Bill Cosby said, "I've seen the job of the boss and I don't want it." Most people just want to trust that their elected leaders are actually representing their choices because after all, that is why they were elected. Let them take care of the bigger issues while regular folk struggle to pay the bills and raise their young. What we are seeing is that while we reject responsibility for our own freedom in the midst of the struggle to survive, our elected officials are selling off our birth-right.
Behind the scenes of sex scandals and funerals for dead pop stars, they (the regime) are giving away our precious freedoms, dripping with the blood of our forefathers. As anyone who watches CSI knows, no amount of bleach will hide blood! Our freedoms will always glow with the splattered blood of soldiers who fought to keep us free. Sorry for the gruesome image but sometimes you have to really paint a shocking picture to wake people up. If people don't step out of their comfort zones and pay attention, freedom will be just a nice memory the old folks talk about. Young people will chuckle at the stories of their elderly and dismiss the tales as fiction. They won't know the real truth of our history because the schools have fed them lies. Yes, I am quite serious when I say that. History books have steadily removed the truth in order to "be sensitive" and not upset anyone. If you want to completely change a government, start with the young. (but that is another story, I will try to stay focused)
Focus on freedom! Both parties have failed in the most basic principle of man-kind! They fail to see that freedom works, government doesn't! It has always been that way and always will be; no matter who tries to convince us otherwise with their bold new plan. Flowery words that soothe the troubled masses have always enslaved the people. When people are desperate for someone to take control, the easiest thing for a power-hungry person to do, is sing the words that they want to hear. And like the pipe piper, they will follow. Again, I repeat this, most don't want the responsibility to set things right and the song of the piper is soooooo sweet.
I am no scholar with an impressive degree and I haven't studied economics either. I don't claim to have the answers to all of Life's questions. However, I can read and I can discern using the mind that God gave me. I can think about things and write (type) it in order to share it with others. This is what I think: We must reclaim our birth-right. We must do it in two ways.
First, individually, we must be willing to take responsibility for our own decisions. As the song goes...Get back to the basics of life. We know within our very souls that given the responsibility to make our own decisions, we will thrive. We must stop relying on others to solve our problems. If we are in debt, make a plan! Put the credit cards away or cut them up, saving just one for emergencies. Make a list of what you owe and attack it! Don't give in to the sheep-in-wool ideas that you are measured by how much you own, how big your toys are. This may take time but get out of debt! Start a Debt-Free Revolution! Declare your independence and become self-sufficient. Then we must prepare and gather others of like-mind to spread the news! We want our freedom back! We must take back the power we so wrongly squandered. We must have independent people to teach the nation how to be independent!
Secondly, we must take back our political platform. Elected officials will go willy-nilly serving their own agenda until the people stop them. Any politician knows that for every letter, phone call and email that they receive there are thousands more people who feel the same. Big government knows that they are safe and powerful enough to do what they want if their constituents are unaware or indifferent or lead astray by false media. We are their worst enemy! If we stand tall and tell others that we are taking responsibility back, the core of Washington will tremble in fear. The threat of other nations will pale in comparison to the terror of a united people. Can you grasp the enormity of your potential?
