Freedom is hard. You have to get up every day and decide what it is you are going to do. You can choose to do nothing. You can choose to do something to entertain yourself. You can choose to go and work at something. You can choose to save your money, fix your car, paint your house, smoke a joint or a cigarette. In short, you can either choose to build yourself up or tear yourself down. The problem with tearing yourself down is that, sooner or later, you will become dependent upon other people for your livelihood and then they will tell you what to do and you won't be free any more.
The only definition of freedom that has any meaning is simply that wherever you are is where you want to be (or at least is heading in that direction). So you have to decide on your own to do things now that you might not like so that in the future you can get to where you want to be.
So what was there about such a simple process that motivated our founding fathers and subsequent generations to sacrifice everything they had (including their lives) to secure freedoms for themselves and their children?
The answer lies in the true nature of man. From the dawn of history, men have been subjugated and enslaved by powerful men who were not accountable to anyone. These men simply took other men's property including their time and spent in upon themselves. Whole populations were enslaved to build monuments to rulers. The men who built the great pyramids had no ownership stake in the finished tomb. We stand in awe today at the things that were accomplished by the pharoahs of Egypt, the Mayan rulers, the Chinese, Alexander the Great, and many others.
These accomplishments pale, however, when compared to the great juggernaut of history known as the United States Of America. For the very first time in human history, a nation was founded upon the freedoms of indivuals to build and keep the works of their own hands. Never in human history has so much wealth been created with so much benefit to so many people throughout the world.
The United States is standing at a crossroads. One way will take us on into a more glorious and secure future as the power of our people is unleashed. The other way will lead our country into the tyranny of dependence upon some powerful men who will strip us of our freedoms and plunder our wealth for their own pleasures.
A large segment of our population has been convinced that they should give permission to these men to do just that. For a few dollars, a free cell phone, wages without work, and promises that these men will seize the wealth of the "rich" and give it to them, they have enthusiastically supported the very people who will clamp them in chains and get them started building a pyramid to show to history. These are the old worn-out ideas from our primitive past now advocated by "progressive" politicians.
It seems easy now because the plundering has only now just begun. There is still untold wealth that is in the hands of the free people in the country. Efforts are now well underway to coerce people to give up that wealth to a rogue and perverse federal government.
How about it, seekers? Do we have the guts to shut these people down and re-establish our God-given rights to freedom?
