Like many Americans, you may fly the flag today, and celebrate the Fourth of July as a day of National Greatness. This modern idea of a celebration of American greatness, or a celebration of superpower is relatively new.
Some however, are aware of what Independence Day represents. It represents the very thing we are fighting against around the World. The Iraqis who are fighting against Americans in Iraq, are doing nothing different than what our Founding Fathers did. The American Rebels who declared Independence from the Crown of England would today be called “insurgents”.
The Boston Tea Party was a terrorist incident. The tactics and methods by which we fought the most powerful superpower of that era, are no different than the tactics and methods which are used today in Iraq. The difference is technology, yet the bloodshed remains the same. We are the Redcoats in Iraq - we are the occupying force.
We have gone away from all of the original principles which have made America great. We have gone away from the idea that we should be on peaceful terms with all other Nations, and engage in entangling alliances with none. We have gone away from idea that the Law should be equal among all people.
We have gone over to the idea of Socialism - where Government does not promote the common good, it takes from certain groups it chooses to, and gives to other groups it chooses to. If anyone else were to act likewise, we would call it theft. This has caused property rights to become meaningless. Government exists to protect your life, liberty, and property. When Government redistributes wealth, it does exactly the opposite by violating the life, liberty, and property of another.
We have become everything that every other Superpower became. The Greek, Roman, and British empires were all superpowers of their time, and ultimately they all failed. America is on course for failure as well.
The Idea of America is not Nation Greatness at all. The Idea of America is that freedom is held to the highest esteem - and that Government is held to the strictest limitations.
McDonalds cannot force you to do anything. Wal-mart cannot force you to do anything. Exxon cannot force you to do anything. Every transaction in the free market is entirely voluntary. Government is the exact opposite. With Government, there is only force. Government is what is to fear.
We might be able to bring America back to where freedom is respected and Government is truly limited. We fought off the scourage of the use of force which plaged Europe for Millenia, yet now we are no better. There is only one man who can make America great again and his name is Ron Paul.
Should Ron Paul not become elected, I am afraid we may have to take the advice of our founders:
“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands, which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
Should peaceful Revolution not be in order - then unpeaceful Revolution may be. We hold the right to Abolish our Government if it does the opposite of what it was instituted to do:
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,
The Founders advised that we not change our Government for light or transient causes. This is good advice, yet the injustices of our present Government is not light nor transient. Should all else fail - We must LOCK and LOAD!
