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.

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

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 a few who believe they will profit from it and embrace it. Some truly believe in Marxism 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.

The passage of unconstitutional law and a denial of liberty to men all happen because they permit it. We are becoming slaves of our own free will. This nation was established by God and the people, not by any government. Yet we have permitted our government to become too powerful and now it controls us.

More Americans need 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.

The role of government has always been to be that of servant to the people, not the master. However, most politicians and other liberals have been trying over the years, and they have succeed to convince many people that the government will take care of you. The government becomes the master and we the servants.

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.

If that choice is made, it will be made out of ignorance. Because Americans simply don't know their own history, much less that of the rest of the world. And, as American philosopher and writer George Santayana said, those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. Americans today seem ready and eager to trade in everything for which their forefathers fought and died for an autocracy that far surpasses anything King George III ever dreamed of. [Rush Limbaugh, See, I Told You So, pg. 74.]

Godless socialists throughout our government and society are working hard to destroy this nation's legacy and replace it with one ruled by Marxist ideologies. 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. The process has been in the making for at least 30 years and it would appear we have just about reached that critical mass and have entered the 21st century with a complete new set of values. It's hard to imagine an event that might bring this sort of thing about until you look at what has been happening in recent years with technology, the growth of the federal government and its reach into private lives, and the ramifications of September 11, 2001.

The Constitution Today is Under Assault

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 called “radicals” and ridiculed.

Congress, the courts, and lawyers today use the law to "bend" or find loopholes in our legal system as morals, ethics, and mens 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 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 socialist 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 "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.

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, the likelihood of that happening is pretty remote.

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.

What is important, though, is the allegations have been officially read into the record. Following are the 35 articles of impeachment introduced by Rep. Dennis Kucinich:

Americas decline toward Socialism can be seen as early as 1929 following the Stock Market Crash, when America suddenly needed a "New Deal" in the form of social welfare. The rate of the transformation has been increased in recent years by the United Nations, whose entire purpose is to implement a Socialist World Order.

America's gravitation toward socialism has been long-term and precedes even the arrival of Bill and Hillary Clinton in the White House. 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.]

Ever since Roosevelt's "New Deal," when the federal government became the rescuer of individuals, social propagandists have been busy creating new classes of "victims" to be rescued. Whether the victims 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 the targeted oppressor.

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.

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.


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.
