How is it that every time “we the people” turn around we see one more freedom being taken down. People demonstrate and protest all day long for the craziest causes but where are the protests designed to stop the encroachment and the takings of our freedoms which at one time were sacred to where America was the freest country in the world? The cause of freedom was so great that history records that event when Patrick Henry was compelled to speak these famous words before the great America Revolution in 1776. “Give me liberty or give me death.”
This longing for freedom brings us forward to the present which does not ring with the essential oils and values that go along with our cornerstone of unalienable rights, namely, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson who was desperate to fashion a country that needed those essential values that are listed in this paragraph. Without those essentials, tyranny will be lorded over the masses even when it is not necessary. History reveals the many rogue governments that have massacred millions of their own people building totalitarian governments. China, the Soviet Union, and Hitler’s Germany are but a few of the most recent tyrannical regimes. So how will America’s future unfold? Will freedom be lost to a freight car full of thousands of state and federal laws barreling down the track to its sorrowful end? Will its prison population increase dramatically? And will rising taxation be placed upon the backs of the people to fund the Demi-god of the State? It is already here if people haven’t noticed. There is tyranny around every corner, while at the same time, America’s moral compass remains broken. More
