I thought we already replaced Freedom and Independence with Security, Convenience, and Social Generosity.
Or is this some celebration of ancient historical dates, like recognizing the Battle of Hastings, or the Diet of Worms?
Prediction:
By 2040, July 4th won’t be called “Independence Day” any more.
It will be renamed to “Equality Day”.
For those who think this is impossible, what day is “Armistice day” again?
Well then vote for Romney, and keep pressure on him to nominate a good VP.
Period.
Those are our options. Until 2016, at which time we had better do a (much) better job than this go around.
Today, I honor our Founding Fathers, our Revolutionaries, who gave us the second most important document in Our Nation’s history. (I consider the Constitution #1)
I honor the Patriots who fought, many to their death, for our Freedom and Liberty.
Personally, however, I cannot declare Our Nation “Free and Independent” on 7/4/2012.
Our Founding Document, the Constitution, has had its heart torn out of it. Our Executive Branch has been allowed to rule over the other two branches, and US.
Until the balance of governmental power is reestablished, I will not consider the United States of America to be Free and Independent, nor will I celebrate it as such.
To reiterate, I will continue to honor and celebrate the Great Men who gave us the Founding Documents that we seem to have allowed to be misused and corrupted.
“Ensure it? We have to win it back first!
Yep. But before we win it back, we first have to convince Americans that they want freedom...and the responsibility that accompanies it. You can’t have one without the other.”
THIS is the key. Patience and hard prep work. I’m afraid it’s gonna have to get quite a bit worse before we can convince the majority, but we need to keep on trying to reason our neighbors and predicting what our tyrants will do before they do it.
Today is take America back day!
Isn’t there anyone who understands my epiphany?
She already ran out. We are no longer free men.
1. INCOME: The federal government has claimed the right to take 100% of our incomes through the income tax.
2. PROPERTY: The federal government has claimed it can take our properties through eminent domain to sell for government profit. (Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005)
3. MONEY/WEALTH: The federal government has claimed it can take whatever we have left in our pockets as a tax with this latest decision.
Therefore: You can earn nothing, possess nothing, and have nothing if the federal government calls it a tax.
What’s left to do but dissolve the federal government?
