"Denial can be seductive, but has an insidious side effect. For the peace-of-mind deniers who think they will get by saying 'it isn't so,' the fall they take when faced with new violence, is all the more unsettling. Denial is a 'save-now-pay-later' scheme, a contract written entirely in 'small print.' For in the long run, the deniers know the truth, on some level." - William J. Bennett
"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing so, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it...the less done for them, the more they do for themselves." -Benjamin Franklin
If you have ever read the Constitution, you will notice that is is very small, in proportion to its significance of how our government was intended to be structured. Did you every think that it is because the Founders intended the federal government to be small, and unintrusive? If you are ready to start taking personal responsibility in taking back our America and restoring the freedom we once knew, stand up and take action.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke
Knowledge is Power! Educate yourself! Know it or not, each and every American has a duty and responsibility, in return for the freedom they have taken for granted over the years. Having freedom doesn't mean that you can simply wake up every day and do whatever you want. Freedom means that "We the People" must keep our elected accountable to our founding principles, through our engagement into their representation of us, so we, and our children may have life, liberty, and the opportunity to pursue happiness.
IT WILL NOT BE EASY TO REMAIN ENGAGED, AND NOT EVERYONE WILL BE ABLE TO STAY ENGAGED. But, if we do not inspect, what we expect, we will be at the mercy of flawed men with limitless power!
"If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary." - James Madison
Here is the problem: We do not have the opportunity of discovering and establishing freedom, as our founders did, in another land across the ocean. America is the last frontier of hope for liberty in this world. Engage, Read, Learn, Discuss, and Share liberty with all you know. Spread the word!
Thanks to Barack Obama and his socialist band of criminals, the "heat has been bumped to high," and we are now awake! Because you cannot "boil a frog" by simply dropping him in a pot of boiling water; he will just jump out. You must place him in a pot of cool water where he is comfortable, and ever so "progressively" turn up the heat without causing him to notice, until it is too late.
The Progressive agenda (adequately named) is not about REVOLUTION (rapid, noticeable, disruptive), but rather EVOLUTION (slow, deliberate, accepted, and undetectable to the average apathetic American who is busy living the American dream.)
"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachment by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpation." - James Madison
The reason the Progressive agenda has succeeded, is because it is an agenda of methodical patience. Wise Socialist, Communist, and Marxist radicals have written the playbook for this agenda long ago, and it has been sucessful, not because it sustainable, but because it has been applied slowly over time, without detection to the masses. Yes, there were a few that recognized it, and even tried to warn others, but it was nearly impossible, because "that was the way it had always been done," and that is what they were "comfortable" with. A lot of times, people don't believe the truth, even when they see it with their own eyes. Try to watch the hour hand on a clock. There will be no visible progression. However, get distracted with something, and obviously you can see that it has moved from where it was originally. The attention span of generations of Americans has been short and distracted. Only adherence to our Founder's principles can make irrelevant, the Progressive Agenda; that is why they would love to destroy (even better "fundamentally transform") the Constitution. It represents the timeless principles of freedom, upon which this country was founded, and the useless application of these documents and principles is the progressives' end goal; Only then, will the road to their limitless power and control be clear.
Thank you to all of you who continue to fight for Freedom, against apathy.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed down for them to do the same, or we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it is was like in America when men were free." - Ronald Reagan
"How fortunate for governments, that the people they govern, don't think." - Adolf Hitler
"The price of Liberty, is eternal vigilance." -Thomas Jefferson
