One night I had a dream. I dreamt that I was standing in a room in
Philadelphia. It was a hot, steamy day
and a group of men were standing around a table listening to the arguments that
were flowing back and forth throughout the room as to whether or not to declare
Independence from the Mother Country, England, and her King and
Parliament. The debate was loud and
boisterous with the chairman working very hard to keep order. But in the end, on July 4th, 1776,
John Hancock and Charles Thomson, the Secretary of the Continental Congress,
signed the Declaration of Independence and, on August 2d, the remainder of the
Congress signed, knowing that their lives and property would be forfeit if captured.
Some of the men in that room lost their lives and fortunes and some were more fortunate, but the greatest Nation on Earth came into being and has been an evolving experiment ever since.
This was a dream about a
powerful nation that had been conceived in Liberty and built on the ideal that,
if a person worked hard enough, you could succeed. Then I woke up.
Today, that dream, fed by
the blood and treasure of Patriots is on the verge of being broken. It is being broken by the greed of Big Politics,
Big Unions, and Big Business, but mainly by the indifference of the majority of
the People.
Today, we have a President,
Congress, and Judiciary that is attempting to destroy our Constitution and to
remake the Nation into a shadow of the failed European Social System which is
slowly being made over into a model similar to that of the United States, based
on a Free Market system that allows the citizen choices that were not permitted
under the “State is All” system.
There is a whole generation
of people living in the United States today who have decided that THEIR Rights
to whine and receive “freebies” are more important that YOUR Rights to work,
earn money, pay your bills and succeed in life. These whiners are demanding increased
participation in their lives by the Government even as many of us want a
smaller government to stays out of our lives.
They want Free College Education, a living wage even if unemployed, and
complete medical coverage. The
interesting part of this is they want all taxpayers to pay for these benefits
although some feel that Entrepreneurs (Wealthy) should be sent to “re-education
camps” or executed if they don’t pay their “Fair Share”. The question is actually three-fold. Part One: where did these people come from
who are demanding all the “freebies”, and Part Two: who do they think actually
pays the tab? Which brings us to the
Third Part of the question, do they really even care? I dare say that they don’t. The majority of these “protesters” don’t even
know why they are protesting.
The ghosts of dictators past
are today camped in the halls of the educational system across the U.S. Each one of these men (Napoleon, Hitler,
Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and others) is sitting in the Halls of Congress, the
Supreme Court and the White House. They
are looking at the destruction caused by today’s demagogues and are laughing as
the People across the land do nothing to stop the mass subversion of the ideals
that were placed on the table on a hot day in Philadelphia 237 years ago.
Now, more than ever, YOUR
NATION NEEDS YOU!! Participate in your
children’s schools! Register to Vote,
AND actually VOTE! Talk with your friends
and neighbors about local and national issues because everything that happens
within the Country will eventually affect you and your family.
Now, more than ever, YOUR
Representatives need to know you how YOU stand on the issues facing this
Nation. When the demagogues realize that
the majority of the People of the United States DO NOT support their actions,
they will retreat back into the shadows and cellars along with the political losers
of the past. The systems that were
Socialism and Communism have already been proven failures wherever installed
and tried, but there are those who believe the only path to a “One World
Government” is equal poverty for all throughout bankrupting the financial
systems of all nations.
One night I had a dream. I dreamt that I was standing in a room in
Philadelphia. It was a hot, steamy day
and a group of men were standing around a table listening to the arguments that
were flowing back and forth throughout the room as to whether or not to declare
Independence from the Mother Country, England, and her King and
Parliament.
This is our Nation, and it is
up to us (YOU and ME) to maintain its viability in the face of political
anarchy. This does not mean you have to
be cruel, or arrogant, or be stingy toward others. Like a marriage we have to work out
differences and move forward as a People and as a Nation, These United States
of America.
Happy Birthday to the United
States of America!
This is Independence Day, the
Fourth of July, 2013.
I hope it’s not our last!
