Free Republic

Unfortunately too many places of Higher Learning teach a and laws, instead of individual and equal Rights and laws. They do not teach the real meaning of freedom, or the Individualist philosophy from the 18th century Age of Enlightenment and the history of Individualism, that came from of the Reformation, on which this Country was founded. We have too much Political Correctness and not enough Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Religion; such as the Presses non-printing of Demarks Cartoon and non-defense of the Cartoonist in regards to Muslims, instead we are too easily offended, and wanting of redress for it, and the Fear of being offensive to someone or anyone, is taking over our society and our Freedom of Speech. Giving in to that Fear is never good, it’s called giving in to political Repression, and intolerance, whether it is from the Left Wing or Right Wing.

James Madison's [the original writer or author of Bill of Rights, also known as the father of the Constitution], version of the Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press Clause, it provided that ["the people shall not be deprived or abridged of the right to speak, to write, or to publish their sentiments; and the freedom of the press, as one of the great bulwarks of liberty, shall be inviolable."] This version was introduced into the House of Representatives separately on June 8, 1789. It was passed by the House as an amendment to the Constitution with different wording and was later brought together by the Senate with other amendments passed by the House of Representatives, to form the First Amendment to the Constitution,

Nowhere in the United States Constitution or the Bill of Rights does it protect anyone from being offended or offended by speech. Non-offensive speech does not need protection under the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the United States of America. No one would try and stop non-offensive speech. We have to be able to feel, to say, to write, or to create whatever we like to be individual and free. People need to lighten up, and not be offended by everything that people say about them. Words only have the power that we give them. They have no power of their own to hurt, or offend anyone. Only we as individuals can give them that power over us, the power to hurt or offend us. Words have no meaning or purpose, other than what we give them. We have the power to control the effect words have over us, and our lives as human beings. We have the power to control our minds, to control our feelings, to control our lives, to control our destinies, and to control how much power someone else has over us, by the words that they use.

Voltaire said around the time of the Founding of this Country that, "I may disagree with everything that you say, but I shall defend to the death you're right to say it." People should be able to express themselves, any way they so choose as long as they do not harm anyone else's person or property. There are limits to speech; we cannot yell fire in a crowded theater, and we should not be able to insight to riot. That kind of speech can harm other peoples person and property, but being offended does neither. There is some art, or forms of art that I have found offensive, like back in 1988, when Andres Serrano published a photo as art, of a crucifix in a vat of his own urine, and Political Left Wing activists and activist Press got very passionate about defending it, but just because I found it offensive I do not think this art should be outlawed or banned. I find ignorance and racism offensive, but I don't believe that outlawing either will stop either of them from happening. You cannot stop ignorance or racism by passing a law, is not possible. There will still be ignorant people, and they're always be people who will hate other people for their differences, no matter what you do, or what laws you pass.Only individually can we and do we, choose not to hate, or not to be ignorant, or not to be racist, no law or legislation can do that, or choose that, for us. It is too great an infringement on our Liberty, to have to be selective of every word that we choose, just so we do not offend anyone. People do not have to listen to people they find offensive, or read what people have written if they find it offensive, or watch entertainment they find offensive, or look at art they find offensive. They have the power and the right to censor for themselves, but not others or society. We need to get back to the place where we once were in this Country. When people were willing to fight and die to give liberty and freedom to everyone, and not just the people they agreed with.

The laws of nature are survival of the fittest, and of adapting to the surrounding environment, and human beings are better at adapting than any other species on earth. The laws of God and of humankind however have to do with the knowledge of the nature of good and evil. The laws of nature do not recognize good or evil, justice or injustice, moral or immoral, ethical or unethical behavior. Only God and humankind recognize these choices, and God has given us the inalienable right, and free will, to make these choices for ourselves. There are consequences to our choices; through the judgment of God and humanity. We are judged on the actions that we take and the choices that we make. God has never interfered in the actions that we take and the choices that we make, for good or evil. In the end there is only Heavens judgment. There can be no judgment without choice, if everything were predestined there could be no judgment of God, because we would have no choice in what we did. From the very beginning God has given us the freedom and the free-will to choose. There is a saying and a quote, "that evil triumphs when Good Men do nothing." In the same way tyranny triumphs if good people do not know, protect and defend their equal and individual Rights, freedom and Liberty. We must be forever vigilant; to stay forever free, and be forever free, in the Freest Nation on Earth.

Collectivist Socialist propagandized propagated the college campuses of the 1960s, with their ideas that began with economic equality. The Collectivist Socialist only believe in economic equality, and redefine the liberalism, which was before socialist and Communists ideology, a belief in individualism, individual liberty, equal laws and equal justice for all, regardless of their race, color, or creed. The people who believe in Collectivist socialist ideology would not work in the private sector, they do not believe in capitalism, they would not start their own business, or work for corporation. They would populate the government and government run institutions, such as education and higher education. They would work in our schools, colleges and universities, they would also want to take over our communications industry and also become lawyers. They hate the United States and its capitalist system, and want to replace it with their own socialist system of government. They hate that the United States is the most powerful, richest country on earth, and therefore not equal, or on par with the rest of the world economically. They seek to use their position as educators, communicators and lawyers to institute ideological change in United States. With their Collectivist socialist ideology they seek to indoctrinate our children, here in the United States, into their way of thinking. Their history classes teach mainly what they consider the atrocities of the United States of America, such as what happened with the American Indians and the history of slavery. They also teach a hatred of the capitalist system, by teaching that women have been politically repressed, and economically exploited throughout our history.

They no longer teach the historical political and philosophical ideology of individualism and individual freedom, that this country was founded upon in the Age of Enlightenment, which includes individual initiative, individual creativity, individual inventiveness, individual learning and growth to become the best of ourselves we can be. They do not teach that through capitalism, and through inventive and creative individual entrepreneurs we have created positive social and economic change in this country. They no longer teach that inventive and creative entrepreneurs still have a chance in this country to create a better life for themselves, and the community around them, and become successful, and rich in experience and learning, in their own right, as individuals. They no longer teach, as I believe that we as individuals can invent and create our way out of most of our socioeconomic and environmental problems.

Instead the collective socialist seek to undermine and destroy the individualist capitalist system of government by creating dependency and fermenting racial and ethnic differences, therefore keeping the races separate, through multiculturalism. Instead of teaching minority groups up to the level where they can compete intellectually with their peers in colleges, they make it so they don't have to compete at the same level, but can get into higher education at a much lower level of educational teaching, and therefore setup to fail in that intellectual competition. They don't believe in competition, especially in our schools and in our classrooms and they do not teach our children how to compete in business. They do not teach our children how to survive and compete in our capitalist system. Our children have been set up to fail in this capitalist system so they can replace it with their own socialist government. They create dependency on government programs, and do not create independent lives for our children. We must demand that our children, especially our poor and minority children, are taught up to level where they can compete successfully with others to the best of their abilities as individuals. We must demand that our children be taught how to compete in business, and in education, to become everything they can be, and the best they can be, independent, individual and free and that they are taught all political and religious philosophies, not just indoctrinated into one, so we can choose their own way, and make our own choices, in which should be the freest nation on earth.
