Freedom Past Present and Future

Questions Are the Answer

Several well known people are on record predicting the 2016 election cycle will become historically recognized and remembered as the most important election in our nation’s history. They also predict the possibility of  a historical turning point, a possible point of crisis and, perhaps, a point of no return.

If these predictions are accurate, it is you “the people” who must choose to affirm that you cherish what you currently possess. Your failure to vote in the company of wisdom will significantly open wide the door that protects you from those who desire to make our Constitution worth nothing more than the quaint ideas of people long dead. Your nation and your world envied way of life hangs in the balance. Are you up to it? Let’s get started. The following is a short list of questions important to your survival as a free person.

Can you name each branch of the government and define its constitutional responsibilities?

Can you define the phrase “unalienable rights” from the Declaration of Independence? Hint: It means much more than they cannot be taken away.

Which historical document contains the phrase “Separation of Church and State”? (Constitution, Declaration of Independence or Neither)

Which government branch is constitutionally designated to approve Cabinet and Supreme Court appointments?  How many votes are required for approval? Why?

The answers to the next five questions reveal the very heart of what progressives and self identified socialists strongly desire to take away from you.

Can you explain the 1st Amendment as written in the Bill of Rights?

Can you explain the 2nd Amendment as written in the Bill of Rights?

Can you explain the 4th Amendment as written in the Bill of Rights?

Can you explain the 10th Amendment as written in the Bill of Rights?


A Progressive is too Big to Swallow

The “Poor old Lady” by Anonymous: The Poetry Foundation

“Poor old lady, she swallowed a fly.
I don’t know why she swallowed a fly.
Poor old lady, I think she’ll die.”

In an ever increasing frenzy the Poor old lady continues to swallow a menagerie of ever larger insects and animals. Each stanza ends with the same observation. “I think she’ll die”. In the seventh and final stanza, the frenzy ends.

“Poor old lady, she swallowed a horse.
She died, of course.”

Unless you the people turn aside from the incremental step by step progressive rights consuming frenzy, “She died, of course” will predictably and appropriately be written on the tombstone of a nation laid to waste because it foolishly self destroyed its historical beginnings, its strength and,  in due course, itself.

The Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 gave all of us the solid foundation of “equality under the law” and it has nurtured us for 240 years. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Note here that it is your right is to pursue happiness. Happiness, however, is not guaranteed!

The point of the foundation is clear.  Progressives, however, actually disdain the declaration’s premise that all people are equal as people and, therefore, have the right to “equality under the law” as its accepted meaning. Remember, this specific equality did not exist in all of history before this declaration was written. Progressives now challenge the “equality under law” interpretation. They are trying to substitute this impartial definition with the artificial equalities of “results” and “conditions” and postulate that the envied resources and perceived advantages earned and possessed by others actually belong to all by “right of existence”!

Progressivism, Socialism and a Dark Future

It is nearly impossible for me to not laugh outrageously and then convulse in tears of sadness as I view the incredible gullibility of the supporters of both Clinton and Sanders and by extension Obama and all progressives existing in both political parties past and present. For all who choose to follow progressivism and or socialism, their personal freedoms, choice and self determination are soon to be replaced by servitude to the state. Differences of definition, language and anticipated outcomes of progressivism and socialism, as they are currently being presented as rightful replacements for our nation’s constitution, are very slight. And yet, Socialism is clearly the next anointed and preplanned step in the process to captivate and enslave the masses who simply do not understand or appreciate what they already possess. Forgive me here, but the poem shown below popped into my mind and it speaks volumes of practical truth and the truth has never been a consideration of the foes of freedom.

                                                                        Cruel Clever Cat
                                                            Sally, having swallowed cheese,
                                                            Directs down holes the scented breeze,
                                                            Enticing thus, with baited breath
                                                            Nice mice to an untimely death.
                                                                                                            Geoffrey Taylor

With deep regret, I believe our nation’s colleges and universities have become the primary source of applied political correctness and progressive thinking. These institutions have also opened the door to legitimize socialism. Socialism is, by definition, “a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.”

Socialism should be considered a transitional social state between the overthrow of capitalism and the realization of communism.” Make no mistake here! “Community” is, in reality, the State and the State is our elected government and any government, unchecked, is power without freedom!

It is frightening to watch young people turn away from capitalism and history and speak of their support of dual philosophies which are both alien and destructive toward the guaranteed personal freedoms that have been theirs since birth. They seem to be doing the unthinkable with zero comprehension of what is being laid before them as their entitlement.


I urge all Americans to pursue the light of freedom and relish in its warmth. Do so with the realization that you possess the tools necessary to escape a predictably dark future.
