WEEKLY THOUGHTS:

 

"It seems to be difficult if not impossible for human beings to avoid thinking of government as mystical entity with a nature and a history all its own. It constitutes for them a creature somehow interposed between

themselves and the great flow of cosmic events, and they look to it to think for them and to protect them.  In democratic countries it is theoretically their agent, but there seems to be a strong tendency to convert the presumably free citizen into its agent, or at all events, its client.  This exalted view of its scope, character, powers and autonomy is fundamentally false. A government at bottom is nothing more than a group of men, and as a practical matter most of them are inferior men.  Yet these nonentities, by the intellectual laziness of men in general, have come to a degree of puissance in the world that is unchallenged by that of any other group. Their fiats, however preposterous, are generally obeyed as a matter of duty, they are assumed to have a kind of wisdom that is superior to ordinary wisdom, and the lives of multitudes are willingly sacrificed in their interest."

WE'RE THROUGH ASKING

 

Three years of pleading, begging, electing, threatening have not had enough real impact on the usurpers in the United States Congress.  There has been a great amount of lip service and misleading comments as well as outright lies.  America has been through this before with King George and the English Parliament when they told the colonists they could and would maintain control over them.  The pleas of the colonists were all to no avail that time also.  Over and over and over again history has shown that the only effort that succeeds with tyrannical governments is shear force.  Eighty years of pleading and compromising has brought America to the brink of ruin.  Electing a Marxist President has allowed him and Congress to make into law the most socialist programs since FDR.  Freedom began taking a back seat to socialism 80 years ago, with FDR and has been disappearing at an ever accelerating pace ever since.

 

Most Americans do not want to get into a confrontation so there is a great tendency to put up with tyranny.  However there is a point when enough is enough and the force of Freedom seeking people will and must remove the people from government who either do not understand Freedom or want to destroy it.  The school systems have been teaching socialism for these 80 years to reach the point where the average American does not even know what Freedom is and therefore does not understand the great peril that America faces.  They tend to think that they cannot give up the goodies that the government so generously provides.  They don't want to admit that government cannot provide anything that has not been taken from another American.  The taking has to end peacefully or in an American tragedy when there is no longer anything to bleed from the populous.  We, as a nation are on that threshold now, and the bad guys are taking advantage of our complacency and our greed for someone else's stuff

 

The marches and rallies that have taken place have received a lot of attention and have appeared to be doing some good, but the recent vote on the budget makes it very clear that we have again been lied to and our wishes ignored.  The asking and pleading is over, so the force of putting the government people back into the limits of the Constitution must begin.  This massive movement is not trying to take down the Government as many opponents want to say, another lie, but it is to strengthen the government and the backbone of the people against the usurping of its authority by the corrupting people we have elected to government positions.  Being a government of the people it is easy to see why the people in government have become so corrupted.  A large percentage of the people have sold their sovereignty for a pot of porridge, or what ever their price was.  If they want to sell their sovereignty so cheaply that is their legacy, but what is not OK is to frivolously sell the sovereignty of their fellow Americans by the tyranny of the majority over the minority (failure of democracy).

 

It is folly to continue to allow the bad guys to do bad things to the American people, and excuse their actions by saying it's for the children, the older people, the poor or whatever other reason they can use.  Anyone who wants to take Freedom from any individual is a bad guy, or at least their actions are bad, regardless of what he or she states is the motivation.  There are legitimate ways to help those in need.  But when the net result is bad it should be acknowledged as such and reversed.  Thomas Paine said that government was a necessary evil (necessary is arguable).  It proves itself as evil every day it is allowed to take Freedoms from Americans.  And those who enable or support such actions are also tarnished.

 

It is obvious that more meaningful action must be taken to stop this tyranny.  Stop is the operative word.  Every day congress is doing its evil.  It must be stopped, not slowed, not tweaked, not softened, not anything but stopped and reversed.  Reversed means repeal.  It will take force to turn the tyrants in Washington in the right direction.  They will not surrender willingly.  The trick is how to exert the maximum non-violent force that will be strong enough to repeal all of the laws, controlling citizens, that have been enacted during the last three presidencies.  That would be a start toward regaining Freedom.  Anything less is setting the bar too low and failing to attain Freedom.  A revolution is not worthy of the cost if it falls short of Freedom.  The FOCUS ON FREEDOM must become the battle cry of every Tea Party member in order to turn Congress's course to the FOCUS ON FREEDOM.  If the message is not clear Congress will ignore it.  They will still try to ignore it if it does not serve their purposes.  They are very good at manipulating the masses.

 

There has been much talk of the victory in the budget vote.  What manipulation, the vote was a failure to the cause of Freedom, yet they keep saying what is not true.  We cannot let these tyrants buffalo us into thinking we are progressing when is actuality we are losing ground.  If we think Congress is going to do this, we are being fools.  Just listen to Boehner tell us of our success,  HA!  He needs to be replaced.  Obama's Health Care laws must be repealed in its entirety and not replaced with anything.  This is an immediate need before it gets entrenched in peoples minds and wallets.  Since the Senate won't do it, there needs to be the masses of people storming Washington to force it.  Gridlock is glorious when speaking of Washington.

 

The talk should end and the action begin, now while the opportunity is there.  We can't feel bound to do things within the system.  The bad guys ignored the system and put enslaving laws on the books. They have to be removed, both the bad guys and the laws.  By training the Freedom Movements' minds to FOCUS ON FREEDOM, this can be accomplished.
