Liberty
Is liberty
dying in the Good Ole USA? If it is,
here’s what to look for for various reasons why it might be:
First of
all, Gimmeites who are numbering close to having monopolistic control of the electorate are falling for the
false promises of phony politicians who are telling them that they want to give
them all kinds of goodies totally free of charge and only because it’s out of
the goodness of their hearts. Where do
the Gimmeites think the government is getting the money to pay for all these
“free” perks? The famous French
historian of the nineteenth century, Alexis de Tocqueville, said, “Republics
endure till people discover that they were being bribed with their own
money.”
How much
better off was this country when it had a President like John Kennedy who
encouraged people to be self-reliant and producers rather than takers. And I’m not talking about his brother Ted
right now. He was more in the camp of the present occupant of the White House
who is doing everything he can to build a cult of dependents. When Congress wanted to require people on
unemployment insurance to show that they were looking for work, President Obama
squelched that. Independent people who
want nothin’ for nothin’ can’t be subjugated – dependency people can
Consider the
breakdown of the family. As the family
goes, so goes the nation. Moral decay
has been part of the formula that brought about the fall of every republic that
ever came into being. The Republic of
the United States is on a path toward not being an exception. Check out the article in the Washington Times
that this link leads to:
Now for the
bunker-buster that would be a major step toward ending law guided by the
Constitution: Globalists led by Hillary
Clinton and strongly supported by our new Secretary of State, John Kerry are
promoting the idea of turning a big portion of the sovereignty of the
U. S. over
to United Nations control by way of forming international treaties such as The
Law of the Sea and gun control treaties.
If they succeed in getting these treaties ratified by the Senate the
laws will supersede United States law and the populace will find itself under
the dictatorial rule of the UN. Who’s to
be thrilled to see that happening?
Certainly not the citizenry of the country. It could
be the dream of someone who envisions him/herself being the head of a one-world
dictatorial government. The
Constitutional Republic that was given to us by the Founding Fathers for the
people and to be ruled by the people may not be perfect but it’s hardly likely
that there’d be many of us willing to give it up for some other ruling process. There’s no consolation in knowing that the Senate
Democrats – or are they Socialists? – don’t have the 66% of the votes needed
for ratification. We don’t know how many
air head RINOs there are in the Senate that might go along with the Democrats
that support the proposed treaty.
The link
below leads to an article regarding the arms treaty:
The Law of
the Sea Treaty: These are some of the provisions that would be
incorporated in the treaty that the United Nations is proposing:
·
Would grant the U. N. the power to levy direct
taxes on American corporations to the tune of billions of dollars.
·
Would
grant them the power to transfer money and technology to Third World nations as
part of a Global Welfare Scheme.
·
Would
prevent our Navy from stopping ships on the high seas that we suspect are
carrying terrorists or weapons of mass destruction without first getting
permission from the U. N.
·
Would
enable the U. N. to create a Court stacked with judges hostile to the U. S. to
enforce its decisions.
The UNaffordable Health Care Law:
Was the
health care law enacted for the good of the people; or was it to get control of
them? Health care administered by the
government is a giant step in that direction.
Eighty five
percent of the populace was perfectly content with its health care plans. And of the fifteen percent that didn’t have
health insurance only a fraction of that portion did not have it because of
their very difficult financial situation.
Part of that fifteen percent were people well enough off not to need
health insurance and could choose whether or not to have it. Does a multi-billionaire need health insurance?
Another part of that fifteen percent were healthy young adults who could
choose not to pay for insurance that they may never need and take the chance
that whatever health care costs arose would still be less than the costs of ten
or twelve years they would pay insurance premiums. It’s called the freedom to make your own
choices.
Why couldn’t
a debit card system have been setup for the indigent funded by the government
and dedicated strictly for the use of having them use it to buy health
insurance and leave the rest of “we the people” alone? Such a program would surely have been less of
a burden on the taxpayer and save them from the suffocating burden of taxes and
penalties that come with Obamacare. The
large majority who were happy with their insurance were not drawing on funds
from the treasury. This would have kept
a very intrusive government out of peoples’ lives and continue to allow them to
keep living the blessings of liberty. But
that gets me back to the question I started this segment of this post with: was
the law for government administered healthcare enacted for the good of the
people or to get control of them? And
how happy are we to be that over seven hundred billion dollars has been taken
out of already troubled Medicare to pay for a health care system that’s like a
monstrous octopus that’s growing bigger by the day? Wait till Obamacare is fully implemented in
2014 and businesses go out of business or choose not to expand because it will put them
into another expense category; how about wage-earners, including those who
voted for President Obama, find themselves cut back to being part-time workers
and find their paychecks to be a little leaner.
With all
that I mentioned about threats to our liberty in this post I can’t help ending
voicing one last thought and that is that I can’t help
thinking
about this Old Testament Psalm:
But
My people would not listen to Me;
Israel would not
submit to Me.
So
I gave them over to their stubborn
hearts to
follow their own devices.
Psalm
81: 11-12
As this
nation sinks deeper and deeper into the quagmire of secularism and more and
more rejecting God, could it be that He has stepped back and left this country to
its own devices as He did with Israel thousands of years ago? President Reagan made a poignant statement
that all thinking people, whether a disciple of his or not, should ponder:
“When we cease to be a nation under God, we’ll be a nation gone under.”
