No matter how high they may be in the political arena, pay no attention to the apologists. Pay no attention to the appeasers of our enemies. Pay no attention to those who utter doomsday prophecies. Pay no attention to the fear mongers who would fill us with dread from manufactured crises, designed for evil purposes. Pay no attention to those who say we are weak and decadent. Pay no attention to the nay-sayers. Pay no attention to those who would run down America. Pay no attention to the socialists who would willingly tear down the fabric of our freedom and give away our sovereignty to a faceless one world order.
They, each and every one of them, is wrong. They are wrong because in the hearts and minds of most free Americans, no matter how many generations have been brainwashed by the collectivist’s philosophy, no matter how many have been bought off by the offer of government largess and handouts, no matter how all-powerful the federal government has become in its incessant march to total control, lies a subconscious belief that America is unique, different and one-of-a-kind and that uniqueness, that difference and that generous one-of-a-kind character is the insurance to the long-term survival of America and American liberty.
It has never happened before to any other people on Earth, in any other country, in any other time. Something happened on the fateful, historic April day in 1775 when a shot rang out ..... a shot that was heard around the world. As the first shot’s sound faded into the pages of history and the following fusillade of muskets and pistols shattered the intervening silence, that sent individual American and British lives to their final reward, an idea was born. An idea so powerful that it has not been replaced by any other idea in 233 years, although many have tried. An idea that ”..... all men 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,”
This idea of freedom had been hatching for a very long time, even all the way back to the early Greeks in the fifth century, BC, during the age of the Athenian Empire, Aristotle, Plato and Pericles. Their freedom lasted for a mere half century, but the seeds of freedom planted during those fifty years, influenced the rest of history.
Throughout the last 2 and half millennium, several cultures have toyed with freedom, but in the end were doomed by their failure to follow its principles. Those in power succumbed to the evils of ego, lust and greed. Those who would be free, (the governed) abrogated their responsibility to defend that freedom, and left it in the hands of those in power, with predictable results.
Starting even before the Magna Carta of 1215, thoughts were moving towards the rights of individuals and the lessening of rights of the state. Some English Kings, acquiesced to the ideas of individual rights and justice, but still held on to virtually dictatorial power. As the second millennium progressed, more ideas on freedom surfaced through the writings of Voltaire and Locke, each having a profound affect on the evolution of common law and then eventually on the Articles of Confederation, ending in the most profound of all historical documents, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.
But what was born on that day of the “shot heard round the world”, germinated a seed in the minds of men that is alive and well, in spite of what your eyes and your ears tell you. That seed of freedom has been nourished, cultivated, dug up and re-buried by over 230 years of wars, tumult, pestilence, poverty, pain and plenty. It is that seed that is the power, the energy, the drive, the ambition, the courage and even the unprecedented and unfettered generosity that has set Americans apart from every other culture on Earth. It is that same seed of freedom that will lift this great nation up once again and turn on the power to its bright beacon of hope and promise, not only to all Americans, but to all humans who call this planet home.
America needs to be the leader and the shining light to the World, not try to compete with the different forms of government and merge our “ways” with their “ways”. We are the most powerful country on Earth because we are free. America is and has been a beacon to the world and will continue to be that beacon unless we let others try to dim that light with failed policies, negativism, despondency, the trashing of our Constitution and embarrassment for our achievements, instead of being proud of them. We are great as a country and great as a people because of those achievements. Have we made some mistakes along the way ..... of course. Have we tried to correct those mistakes ..... without a doubt.
If you are discouraged, don’t be. Look around you. The Minutemen of old and the Vanguards of Freedom are ever vigilant and will not be silenced. They are ringing the bell in the Old North Church. They are sounding the alarm throughout the land. They are coming out in the streets in the famous tradition of the Boston Tea Party. They are hoisting that great symbol of freedom, our American Flag, wherever they go. Join them in their quest, applaud their courage and stand behind them as they confront those who would strip us of our liberty and render us as serfs to the “King”, the “one” or the false Messiah.
Do not despair. The signs of a rebirth of American freedom are everywhere, albeit about a century late. Nevertheless, it is those Americans, containing that seed of freedom, that will save America from itself, not the government. It is WE THE PEOPLE, the CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED, made up of free individuals with certain unalienable rights, a gift from our Creator, that hold the power of liberty in our hard-working, self-reliant, industrious, courageous and generous hands, not the government. The government, at any level, can now not be trusted and must be purged. If anyone tells you different, tell them they are wrong and tell them in no uncertain terms. Your freedom, your children’s freedom and your grandchildren’s freedom, depend on it.
