Assault on Liberty in America

At the core of the political crisis that has engulfed America in recent years is a swing from economic capitalism to democratic socialism. The price we are asked to pay for this reform is the freedom and liberty of all Americans.

Most Americans are oblivious to this serpentine monster looming over them, and few recognize it as Socialism. Some feel perfectly comfortable in their present condition and simply ignore what is going on. Some are simply apathetic toward anything that doesn't directly and immediately impact their lives and therefore dismiss it. Others feel powerless to do anything about it so they sit on the sidelines wringing their hands in despair. Some just dismiss it all as some so-called "conspiracy theory" held by right-wing whackos. Others are sucked in by the immense propaganda machine and have come to believe it to be a positive step forward.

Probably most Americans are simply lazy for some of the above mentioned reasons and take their freedom for granted and don't have a clue there are those working to take it from them. There are even some who believe they will profit from it and therefore embrace it. Some others truly believe in the philosophies of Marx and promote it.

Then there is a remnant who recognize it for what it is and are fighting to preserve this country from its influence.

We have been told that Socialism is all right, when in fact it is not all right. It is slavery with a beautiful face.

The passage of unconstitutional law and a denial of liberty to men all happen because we permit it. Our leaders seem to forget the Federal Government was created by the States, not the other way around. This nation was established by God and the people, not by any government. Yet, "we the people" have permitted our government to become too big and powerful and now it exerts far more control over us than our founders originally intended.

So long as I have a breath left in me, I will encourage more Americans to embrace the moral superiority of personal liberty and its main ingredient of limited government. This nation is about your freedom to choose, not government control over your life.

I took an oath to this country nearly forty years ago to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic," and I intend to follow to that oath.

What is the Role of Government?

The role of government in America has always been to be that of servant to the people, not the master.

Our Declaration of Independence asserts...
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."

Our rights are NOT granted by the government, they are unalienable rights endowed by our Creator. The role of government is to "secure these rights" on behalf or "consent of the governed." These brave patriots went on to fight a bloody war to secure these rights and consummated their revolution with a document called the Constitution of the United States and Bill of Rights that's sole purpose was to safeguard our God-given rights by limiting government power.

However, most collectivist politicians and others in society have been trying to expand government over the years, and they have succeed to convince many people that the role of government is to grant you certain rights and will take care of you. In other words, the government becomes the master and we the servants.

"Why of course the people don't want war ... But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship ... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger." - Hermann Goering, at the Nuremberg Trials after World War II

What most Americans don't seem to understand is how fleeting and rare freedom actually has been throughout history. Nothing lasts forever in this world. We have become spoiled by 200 years of liberty. Particularly, the post-World War II generations have no concept of sacrifice and the incalculable cost of freedom. This ignorance, born of complacency, is dangerous for all of us. Because too many Americans are ready to trade in their freedom for security - even a false security.

Most Americans simply don't know their own history, much less that of the rest of the world. They seem to go through life believing everything that happens is coincidental and happens by accident. They are totally ignorant of the behind-the-scenes agenda of a ruthless elite bent on controlling the world. As American philosopher and writer George Santayana said, "those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it."

Quite honestly, I believe unless something changes radically in the next few years, we are on the verge of losing this great nation to those who hate all that it stands for.

America and the Constitution is Under Assault Today

Godless collectivists throughout our government and society are working hard to destroy this nation's legacy and replace it with one ruled by Marxist ideologies. The process has been in the making for many years and it would appear we have just about reached the critical mass necessary for its success and have entered the 21st century with a complete new set of values.

It's not too difficult to see that we have precious little time left before a complete deprivation of freedom when you consider what's transpired in recent years with technology, the growth of the federal government and its reach into private lives, and the long-term ramifications of September 11, 2001.

"The tyrant, who in order to hold his power, suppresses every superiority, does away with good men, forbids education and light, controls every movement of the citizens and, keeping them under a perpetual servitude, wants them to grow accustomed to baseness and cowardice, has his spies everywhere to listen to what is said in the meetings, and spreads dissension and calumny among the citizens and impoverishes them, is obliged to make war in order to keep his subjects occupied and impose on them permanent need of a chief." - Aristotle

Americas slide toward Socialism took hold in America in the early 1900's when globalist bankers took control of our financial system and manipulated that system to profit from at least two world wars. Their godless aims leaped forward again in 1929 following the Stock Market Crash, when America suddenly needed a "New Deal" in the form of social welfare. Since Roosevelt established the government as the rescuer of individuals, social engineers have been busy creating new classes of "victims" to be rescued. Whether they are black, handicapped, homosexual, or children... the goal is always the same: for government programs to rescue them from society by restricting the liberties of a targeted oppressor.

The rate of the transformation in more recent years has been dizzying as one collectivist after another has seized the powerseats of government at both the federal and local levels. They have brought with them every imaginable program to loot the U.S. Treasury and individual retirement savings, redistributing wealth from hardworking Americans into the hands of an elite few, all while appropriating power over our lives with oppressive taxation, regulation, and controls.

Economist Milton Friedman recently observed that "in 1950, total government spending, federal, state, and local, amounted to less than 30 percent of national income; in 1992, to nearly 45. In addition, government-mandated expenditures by individuals and businesses have multiplied manifold ... The U.S. is today more than half socialist, compared to perhaps a third in 1950." [Rush Limbaugh, See, I Told You So, pg. 267.]

Dismantling the Constitution

The trouble with reading more rights into the Constitution is that jurists deprive the people of public debate. In addition, Justice Scalia says, if you can read in rights, you can read them out as well. This, of course, is what we see happening today.

The influence of wealthy and powerful corporate interests and lobbies, legislation “created” via Executive Orders and court rulings, and the corrupt schemes of increasingly bloated and centralized bureaucracies have allowed a culture in Washington to take root in which the Constitution is either selectively followed or ignored outright.

In fact, many of those in power have become so twisted in their collective thinking that those who insist on Constitutional compliance are ridiculed as “radicals” and prosecuted as "terrorists".

Congress, the courts, and lawyers today use the law to "bend" or find loopholes in our legal system as morals, ethics, and our freedoms are challenged in courts everyday. Slowly but surely our freedom is slipping away from us.

"Such matters need not concern you," we are told. So, many Americans faithfully and ignorantly believe our appointed and elected officials that run the government. "They would not pass any law that takes something away from us," so many think. "All the laws that we pass are for your protection," those in office say. Or are they?

A careful analysis will show that these unconstitutional laws are not passed for "our protection" from business or government, but to increase those seeking power and governmental powers. Many laws for "protection," "public interest," and so forth, are denials of our Constitutional rights and are unconstitutional ex post facto laws.

Critical to the establishment of a Collectivist State is the dismantling of the United States Constitution.

To what degree have they already achieved their goal? Consider the liberties granted in the Bill of Rights we have already lost or are losing:

First Amendment
Second Amendment
Fourth Amendment
Fifth Amendment
Ninth Amendment
Tenth Amendment

Because the violation of our constitutional rights has become so commonplace and has been made secure through ignorance on the part of the American people, the way is now being paved for continuing violations of our liberty for "safety," "national interests," "homeland security," "for the children," and so forth. Obvious examples include the war on drugs, hate crime legislation, "gun control," "eminent domain" legislation, and the U.S. Patriot Act. The only result and desire of those violators is to increase government power over us.

Perhaps the largest grab for power in recent years is the War on Terrorism which has proved an even better excuse for infringing civil rights. Thanks to the events of September 11, 2001, the U.S. government was handed on a silver platter it’s best hope for creating a police state, without having a foreign adversary as frightening as the Nazis or the Communists to justify its actions.

Holding Our Leaders Accountable

As all Federal officeholders and government employees are required to take an oath of office that states that they will “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” it can be reasonably concluded that in allowing these assaults on the Constitution to occur, these “representatives” have violated their oath of office. They should be removed from their position of authority as soon as possible and if appropriate, prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

On June 9, 2008, on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) introduced 35 articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush. From torture to rendition to spying on Americans to abusing signing statements, Rep. Kucinich detailed all of the reasons why George W. Bush should be impeached. Of course, even though George W. Bush will never be held accountable, the allegations have at least been read into the official record.

The bar for impeachment has been raised so high that it might as well no longer exist. Future presidents will know that they can violate the Constitution at will, confident in the fact that Congress does not have the courage as an institution to do anything about it.

Returning once again to the words of the founders penned in the Declaration of Independence...

"That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."

I believe our current government has become a clear and present danger to our God-given rights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, and it is not only our right but our duty to throw off such government and alter it. I'm not suggesting we abolish it and institute new government, only that we need to alter the present government and return it to its Constitutional foundations.

Armed rebellion in today's technologically advanced world would almost certainly spell disaster. We the people do not possess the high tech laser guided weaponry the military industrial complex has at its disposal, and any armed insurrection would surely be put down with savage efficiency.

What we the people do possess is truth.

The Bible tells us, "...the truth will set you free." [John 8:32]

Knowing the truth about the people, powers, and institutions involved in pulling the strings of the world’s events, you can better protect yourself and others from the pitfalls that have been purposely created to ensnare us.

Sons and daughters of Liberty across America, resist your oppressors by knowing the truth (become educated and know your rights), demand and exercise your rights as an American, expose and hold accountable the enemies of liberty, and proclaim the message of freedom in every corner of your lives.

When faced with corruption, exercise civil disobedience and peaceably resist the pressures to conform.

We should all demand a return to sound money and reject the worthless fiat currency now distributed by the unconstitutional Federal Reserve. Finally, throw off the shackles of debt, servitude, and misinformation that currently enslave you and begin to now live lives of free men and women.

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God. [John 3:19-21]

Freedom Patriots, stand firm and resist and once again we can see the star-spangled banner wave in triumph O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

American politics is no longer about Democrats, Republicans, or Independents ...
It's not a fight between the Liberal Left and the Christian Right ...
It is about WHAT America is.

It's a war of competing ideas and worldviews. It's a conflict over beliefs and values, over the ideas that will rule society. It's about whether certain individuals are above the law or are all Americans equal under the law. It's about truth... or is truth even important? It's about the direction we want this country to go in the future. It's about the world we leave for our children. It's about what god we acknowledge or whether we acknowledge any god at all. It's about the same struggle man has gone through since the beginning of time, the struggle between good and evil.
