Staying independent on Declaration of Independence Day

Posted on by

Tomorrow we celebrate our Declaration of Independence from Great Britain and the British Crown and the tyranny associated with it. Some call it the Fourth of July, some call it America’s Birth Day, still others call it Independence Day. There will be fireworks displays, barbeques and family outings, but few will stop to give thanks to the brave patriots that won our freedom from a tyrant king. The best guess by the best minds suggest that only 3 percent of the colonials actually engaged in the fight to gain independence at the onset, and fewer than 12 percent actually provided financial and material support and only about 20 percent of the total population wanted to be free of the British Throne and the tyranny associated with it. The issue of being free or being subservient remains the same today.

Being Free and Independent comes with a massive amount of responsibility. The Free and Independent citizen must rely on his or her own skills and resources to provide for the family the basic needs of food, clothing and shelter. They must be frugal never wasteful, living by the motto waste not want not. They also are the first to lend a hand when a neighbor is facing great challenges. They also know that they are responsible for the protection and safety of their home and family. They know and accept the fact that they are responsible for their lives including retirement and healthcare. They only want enough government to look after national business and even then as small a government as possible. They also live within their means creating as little debt as possible, if you can not afford it you do not need it. They never blame others for their failures, each failure is an opportunity to be successful the next time, living and learning. They are mindful of what is in their pockets and keep their eyes and hands out of other people’s pockets, while trying to keep the government out of their pockets. These are the people who understand Independence and deserve to celebrate and give thanks.

Being subservient has no responsibility. The subservient citizen relies on the skills and resources of others to provide the basic needs of food, clothing and shelter for themselves and their families. They are wasteful never frugal living by the motto of easy come easy go. They never help a neighbor in times of trouble, unless there is something in it for them. They rely on and call on others to protect their home and family. They expect others to provide for every aspect of their lives including retirement and healthcare. They want a large government to ensure that the big government has enough resources to take from others and give to them, the bigger the better. They live well beyond their means, if they can not afford it they look for yet another government program to provide it. They constantly blame others and call themselves victims. They constantly look in other people’s pockets to make sure they have at least as much, if not then they will expect the government to stick in its greedy hand and take some or all. They spend it even though they never earn it. These are the people who do not understand Independence and have no right to celebrate and will never give thanks. These are the people who celebrate every month when the checks come in and never say a word of thanks to ones who provided it, the government only sent it after they took it from the pockets of others who earned it. Talk about ungrateful, they should at least thank the Patriots for providing the Freedom needed for the productive to support the moochers.

If America was at this point in time fighting to gain independence and throw off the yoke of imperial tyranny, there would be more than 3 percent who would actually engage in the fight, but the support would be much less and the total number of citizens who actually cared one way or another I fear would be much lower.

What will you celebrate tomorrow and who will you thank? I will be celebrating our Declaration of Independence and giving thanks to the Patriots who wrested this great nation from tyranny, being especially thankful that our Independence was won in 1781 at the conclusion of the Revolutionary War and not trying to win it in these times.

The American Revolution had very few participants at the onset, some estimates range from 5% to 12% of the total population even supported the idea of Independence, including the Founding Fathers. Out of that total number only about 3% engaged in fighting the British. Even with that small number America gained Independence from Britain. General G. Washington standing on the bow of a row-boat crossing the cold and in some places frozen Delaware River, leading from the front. Revolutionary War soldiers tying rags around their feet in stead of proper shoes, or just in an attempt to hold worn out shoes together. Never having enough to eat, sleeping in the cold and with little or no pay. They were not fighting for money, they were fighting to throw of the yoke of tyranny, seeking Freedom and Liberty.

The 101st Airborne Division at Bastogne is another example of a few making a difference. They were surrounded by the Germans in December 1944, the German Commander demanded the surrender of the Division. General McAuliffe, acting Division Commander, famously responded “NUTS”. The men of the 101st used what they had and resisted numerous German assaults, they fought, they did not surrender. General Patton is credited with rescuing the 101st, no one in the 101st asked to be rescued. One of those brave soldiers of the 101st even stated “I felt sorry for the Germans, the poor bastards had us surrounded”. The 101st had no history, but had a rendezvous with history. I’ll say they did.

Our history is rich with stories like the 2 above, some are even the “stuff” legends are made of. But I have to wonder, if the circumstances in America now were the same as they were at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, what percentage of the total population would even support Independence. Let alone, what percentage would fight for Independence. Do we have any national leaders today leading from the front? How many Americans today would endure any hardships, let alone the hardships that were endured by others for freedom and liberty? As to the 101st at Bastogne, what percentage would follow the example of the brave men of the 101st, and what percentage would just give up without a fight.

To make or change history a requisite set of circumstances needs to be present, after those circumstances come together it boils down to either time defining the person or the person defining the time.

Some times its just the right person at the right place at the right time. It can also be the wrong person at the wrong place at the wrong time. If you take the events in American history, past and present, the people or person involved and the circumstances this becomes crystal clear if you change the words right and wrong.

People are the answer and ironically they can also be the problem.

People become the problem for the following reasons. They have no set of core values or beliefs in which case they should never be entrusted with any thing, for they have no moral character or morals for that matter or their core values change to fit the circumstances and again they should not be entrusted with anything, again lacking in moral character and morals. These are the types of people who sit on the fence and wait to see which way the wind blows. They seek popularity over moral fiber. They do not believe in anything therefore believe in everything, you can not have it both ways, they end up believing in nothing. They do not stand for anything therefore they stand for nothing, but will fall for anything. This type of person will more than likely say that their position has evolved, in truth they are only seeking popularity from some small fringe group. They seek to be all things to all people.

People become the answer(solution)when they have a strong set of core values and beliefs that never change even for popularity, security or safety.

The answer to the question of how much longer do we have left is that it is up to the people with a strong set of core values and beliefs. As usual throughout American history it will be a small number with clear determination and a goal.

How much longer do we have? Part 6

The answer to the question may come down to simple mathematics, 53% can only support 100% for a short while, immigration reform will only add numbers to the 100% and will do nothing to increase the numbers in the 53%. The ratio of productive to non-productive only goes to illustrate and support my opinion that the politicians do not have the continued existence of America in their plans. A boat full of water can still remain at the surface, but it can not move or be moved, and will go completely under water and sink to the bottom when attacked by even the smallest of waves. To save our country we need to start pumping out the “water” now, we can not wait until we are level with the water’s surface. We should have starting “pumping” long ago. Even better we should have prevented any “water” from entering above what was needed for “ballast”, excess “water” is only “deadweight”. Riding high in a storm will capsize even the mightiest of vessels. We will go under at a 50/50 ratio, and no government plan will stop that. I may have spoken to soon about no government plan could stop that, the government could do as many families are doing now, just to manage to get through, during this magnificent economic recovery, have a yard sale. What could they possibly sell? The government could offer for sale the fleet of Presidential aircraft, no that wouldn’t work, if they were sold BHO and family couldn’t go on any more vacations, attend fund-raising events or just go golfing, and they could never let the elite do with-out. The Military is being cut to pre-WW2 levels, the government could sell the surplus equipment. We could offer small arms, ammunition, tanks, helicopters, jets, artillery pieces, uniforms, ships and all other un-needed weapons of destruction. But who or what countries could by the stuff? We could not invite Iran, they have no money, the economic sanctions imposed on them after the seizure of the U.S. embassy in Teheran have left them so economically devastated they couldn’t even continue their nuclear program. The Palestinian authority would be a good choice, at least we could get some of the money back we have given that terrorist basket case in the name of humanity. We could sell some to the Muslim Brotherhood they still have to beat Christians to death. I’m sure that North Korea, Syria, China, Russia and countless other small nations would “pony” up some cash for a few good pieces of surplus equipment, though most of the cash would be only the return the gifts of humanitarian aid. But the government must get in writing a stipulation that the weaponry will not be used against us or our friends(if there are any left). Everybody knows that government can be trusted and would never lie. Right! With all of that cash on hand the government could pay off the national debt, no that would never work. The government could further expand their social plans and give the “moochers and social parasites” a well deserved raise, this would work, the government could continue making loyalty payments. This cash would soon be exhausted, but not to worry the government could have another yard sale. The national archives, museums and our heritage could be sold to some foreign benefactor they alone should bring enough cash to pay-off the moochers, no they will never get enough. BHO and Congress have to feed the monster created out of fairness and equality, an again the money would squandered. The states that are resisting BHO and his minions could be offered up for sale, surly some foreign nation would love to get some prime real estate. Again the government would have cash, but it too would be squandered, forcing yet another yard sale and the cycle could continue until America was sold-out by a man with a vision of “hope and change”. Think about it, no nation on earth can beat us with force, but why should they, no need in wrecking the house you plan to buy.8660

If you don’t think the yard sale is possible consider the following.
The U.S.A. is 17 trillion dollars in debt and the corrupt politicians in Washington D.C. are still spending. The nations of the world will soon stop lending the U.S. money. The nations that the government has borrowed from will demand payment and they all know that it can not be repaid. The rest of the world will “dump” the dollar for some other currency. When, not if, this happens the government will have 2 options, both of which will end life in America as we know it.

The first option is this. There is an estimated 21 trillion dollars in retirement accounts across our land. I think that is a “little” high, but that’s what the “experts” say. I guess if you were to add the IRA’s(both paper and metals), employer funded retirement accounts, employer/employee funded retirement accounts, personal savings accounts and what is left in the social security trust fund you might arrive at a number that would be close to 21 trillion dollars. The government could simply seize all the personal wealth and use it to pay-off the national debt, leaving approximately 4 trillion in surplus(but as pointed out above, government would never do that, 21 trillion dollars would go along way in social reform). Enter the Government Retirement Accounts. The people(with common sense)would never stand for that, our streets would look like The Ukraine and Venezuela, but Americans won’t need to throw rocks. BHO will need a disaster natural or man-made to destroy the rest of the Constitution, and even then he would come-up short and he knows it. But, lets not forget what BHO said, We need a civilian force just as well-trained and as well armed as our military.

The second option is this. America could go to a cash-less society, after all almost everyone has a debit card, and almost all that still have a job are required to have direct deposit. BHO could just issue an executive order requiring that every American have a bank account with a debit card and must have direct deposit. No matter which bank you use they all would be government-owned and controlled, government would have all of the money. Possession of cash would be a crime, all transactions would be electronic. With the exception of a banking crisis the economic environment is the same now as it was just before the “great depression”, remove the cash and there can be no banking crisis. One more thing would be needed, government imposed spending limits(that would sound “goofy” coming from a government that knows no limits when it comes to spending)so the balance sheets stay in the black. Special government approval would be needed to determine the necessity of large dollar amount purchases. This would require yet another government agency to over see purchases above what the government deemed needed to support everyday life. The government would finally have ultimate control over our lives, simply by allowing or disallowing commerce at every level no more freedom of choice. You could no longer purchase an item that could possibly harm a child, be misused or in any way cause mental anguish. Everything must be government approved. Everything could be rationed to ensure that everyone has equal access. Everybody would be and therefore could say that “I work for the government”. There would be numbers in each persons account reflecting a line of credit the person had at their disposal, with government approval of course, but they would be just that, numbers, the same as we will become. Freedom would become like the stock market, only an illusion.

The few remaining countries that are willing to loan money to the U.S.A. are now able to black-mail our government. They demand that our government to make concessions. BHO has already started trading away national assets, and signing away parts of our national sovereignty to the U.N. As pointed out you can only sell or give away so much, eventually you will lose your identity. We may already have been sold. Could a one world government be in our future? Who would lead? Putin? BHO?

Mathematically we are existing as a nation on borrowed time. I never liked math, I can do it though, and even balance a check book. Wish the government could. History provides the answers if you know where to look.e229100d8bfa22d1e815b6b51c639b87

How much longer do we have? Part 5

Posted on by

The “State of the Union” is one big mess for the following reasons. We have a President with no real world experience only an agenda. We have a Congress full of self-serving ideologues. We have a Supreme Court being filled with activist judges. That about sums up the three branches of government. Not a one of the three is following much less upholding the Constitution.
Oh, don’t worry I would leave the Media or the “moochers and social parasites” out.
How did we get to this point?
We have a President that was elected with zero experience, but he offered “hope and change” and transparency in his administration. His background is that of a “community organizer”, college professor and a lackluster politician. The only “change” he had in mind was to transform America from the world “superpower” into a third world nation. His “hope” was that Congress, the “moochers and social parasites” would aid and assist him in his quest. Congress was more than willing to oblige and the “moochers and social parasites” have been constantly rewarded for their loyalty. His “hope and change” is being fulfilled though it may not be what was expected by some and is not enough for others. The transparency of his administration, though it is at least if not more secretive than previous administrations, it is becoming clear to more and more Americans. The whole thing is one big LIE! Having no real world experience has had the effect of blaming others for the failures of his own domestic and foreign policies, he has no concept of responsibility. If he is supposed to be the “leader of the free world” we are in deep trouble. A successful leader accepts both responsibility and blame. His style of and his practice of non-leadership is demonstrated by his acceptance of neither. The best example of this would be the sequester, it was his idea, and the outcome was his fault. But true to his government education he accepted neither. He found a way to shift the “blame’ to congress for not acting to prevent the mandatory cuts he proposed in the event a budget was not reached. Somehow it became the “responsibility” of congress to prevent his plan from taking effect. Yet he acts to prevent congress from stopping his plans, example Obamacare, lately referred to as “The Affordable Healthcare Act”, which he has arbitrarily changed himself 38 times, because it does not work. He will not let it be repealed and fixed, or admit that what we had before was better than this “POS” law that was rammed down the throat of America. He will simply keep offering exemptions(if they fit his personal agenda or helps some or all of his supporters and their special interests)and delaying portions of the act that can not possibly be met in any time frame. He has even found a way to better Clinton, we now have a new definition of what a delay is. It’s not a delay if you are in line, it is only a continuation of the previous delay. There are still no accurate numbers of how many people have signed up for Obamacare”, Medicare, Medicaid or paying customers. Out of the paying customers there is no information as to how many have actually paid the premiums. This part would be humorous if it wasn’t so sad, He considers himself the smartest person in the room, surrounds himself with advisors, more aptly called “yes people” and when confronted with an event, he says I found out the same time you did, on the news. He has constantly denied the greatness of America and her people willing to give or negotiate away our greatness and achievements. I still can’t understand why his approval rating is anything but “a big fat zero”. He is in my opinion a “radical leftist socialist ideologue”. He is also in my opinion a product of government education.
We have a congress that is failing in their duties they no longer represent the people they instead represent their political parties agendas, their own agendas and the agendas of the special interest groups. They see themselves as a perverted idea of a modern-day “robin hood” more aptly spelled “robbing hood”, stealing from everyone and giving to anyone that will assist them in their quest for re-election thereby increasing their power. In truth what they are stealing is the American dream of this and future generations. They use the various government departments as tools or as weapons as the need arises. The Department of Education in particular and government education in general has taken Prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance and most notably God out of the public school system. My theory as to why God was taken out of public school was that the government will not tolerate “competition”. The people have been and are still being “trained” to call on government in times of trial and hardship and government is more than willing to answer the call.
The Supreme Court as well as the lower courts are filled by each administration as vacancies occur, as is stipulated by the Constitution. Problem is each administration tries to “stack” the courts will justices or judges that will interpret the Constitution or the laws presented before them according to the “views” of the administration. This causes the “oddest” reaction from the press, the congress and the public. They all knew the how they would interpret based on their political views, the views of the nominating administration and the political views of those who confirmed them, and still act surprised at the ruling. If you have a radical left administration or a radical right administration, who did you think they would nominate or appoint. Again I don’t think this was the process the Founding Fathers intended.
The media are failing in their duties and responsibilities to inform America, and most importantly failing to be the “watchdog” over the government. That goes for all of them. The only reliable source of information is the internet and even that has to be sorted out to uncover the truth. The major news outlets that lean-to the left praise and tout BHO and the current administration no matter what. The major news outlets that lean-to the right do attempt to expose BHO and his administration for what they are, but will leave that arena for any breaking news story. The major news outlets are like humming birds, going from flower to flower trying to make news instead of reporting it.
The “moochers and social parasites” may well be the “straw that broke the camels back”, 53% of the working class of Americans “tote the freight” for 100% of America, while the other 47% that could be participating choose instead to live off the hard work and achievements of the tax paying few. The amount of assistance provided to the moochers and social parasites in the form of “food stamps”(EBT), WIC, free or reduced telephones, internet, electricity, housing and welfare are a constant drain on national treasure. There is little or no oversight on the “social programs” and most programs are redundant, with some of the mooching class receiving the same monies from more than one agency. There are always threats that “social security” may not be able to meet its obligations, but not once have I heard that “welfare” will not be able to meet their payments. The government, at all levels, have found willing accomplices in the moochers and social parasites to continue their “crimes against America” and the principles this nation were founded under. The government has taught the mooching class well. They have been taught to become totally dependent on government for their mere existence. They are taught that self-reliance, self-determination, personal responsibility and consequences of actions are all covered by a social program and they need not be inconvenienced in the least.(If the actions of a male and a female cause an un-intended pregnancy the government has approved social programs to aid in the consequences of a careless act, thus removing all responsibility.) This class of people is the reason that “Independence Day” is no longer celebrated, instead they celebrate the 4th of July, and oddly enough that is how it is now marketed and sold, which is probably just as well, the moochers have no idea what “Independence’ is. The moochers and social parasites have no right to celebrate “Independence Day” they need their own special day to celebrate “dependence day” because that is what they are, dependent, oh that’s right, they do celebrate every month when the government sends them their “loyalty checks”. The mooching class are no more than “bargaining chips” to the corrupt “political class” with each political party promising more than the other to gain their temporary loyalty. It seems that the mooching class, with the aid of the corrupt politicians, have found a way to vote themselves money from the national treasury. With each new attempt at reforming a failed policy from this and past administrations, or the attempt to reform a law, such as immigration, new disasters are the only product, and will only produce new moochers to steal more from America. This is a direct result of government creating a ‘benefit and entitlement” society. The only benefits and entitlements that come from being an American citizen or living in America is Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
The news of late is loaded with corrupt politicians being led away in handcuffs. Maybe terms limits for politicians should be implemented, I’m for all of them getting one more term, I’m thinking 20 to life. Maybe Alcatraz should be re-opened so the entire lot of them will have a view of the ocean, they will think they are still on a tax-payer funded vacation.

America as a nation had a start as a refuge for the oppressed religious and otherwise. We had a brutal beginning in a land far and away from our from what our ancestors were accustomed. Independence and Liberty were first experienced on this Continent, although we were Colonies of the European Continent. Time passed, we became 13 colonies of Great Britain due to wars between European Countries and their giving up of Colonies on the North American continent to the victors. Some of the wars were referred to as “contests” spilled over into North America. Our ancestors even helped Great Britain win some of these “contests”. Our ancestors gained valuable experience during these “contests” that would be of great use in the coming years. The continued abuses of the King of England finally drove the Colonists to the point of taking up arms against the Throne.
The Colonies and The Colonials had matured and were of sufficient strength to choose their own course and destiny. The course they choose was to live in as a Free People, the common thought was that it is better to “DIE as a FREE MAN, than to LIVE as a SLAVE of the THRONE. As a nation we didn’t choose a war with England, it was forced upon the good and decent citizens of the Colonies. Our Forefathers won that “contest” with a heavy loss of Life and Treasure. We had sufficiently matured and with Great and Divine guidance, our Forefathers drafted perhaps the finest document any people could author, The Constitution of the United States. To get a Constitution that could be ratified by all 13 Colonies required negotiations(give and take)from all sides, but even the most heinous and contrary to the principles of Freedom and Liberty, slavery had a final date, and was spelled out in the Constitution.
As more territories gained statehood and were admitted into the “union”, their admission was based on whether or not they would be “slave” states. The Congress at the time would decide for the States if they were “slave or free”, and were admitted on that one premise. The Territories had little choice in the matter and would only gain Statehood if they didn’t upset the balance. The Congress wanted things to remain equally “divided”, so that no one view had a monopoly on the slavery question. This would eventually set the stage for the greatest calamity for America. But remember that the House of Representatives was based on population size not land size, the northern states had more representatives than the lesser populated south. The Senate has since the beginning has been 2 from every state no matter the population and was originally sent by the state to the nation’s capital to ensure the state they were from had an equal voice in government and the policies each administration would inflict on the population of their state. If they were equally divided the Vice President would vote and that would only be according to the administrations views on the subject at hand, and thus decide.
The stage set for the “Civil War” was set long before President Lincoln was elected, his election only set the wheels in motion. The original cause was seen Federal Government usurpation and arbitrary uses and abuses of power. The people of South Carolina were the first to act, by seceding from the “union” and demanding that all Federal Troops immediately leave their Sovereign State. The Federals refused, hostilities broke out and many southern states seceded from the “union”. The new government of the South drafted and ratified their own Constitution and elected their own President and Congress. The Constitution of the Confederate States of America is almost a mirror reflection of the Constitution of the United States. There is no provision in the U.S. Constitution for any state to withdraw from the “union” only to enter into it. This war in American history has been called by many names, “The Civil War”, “The Un-Civil War”, “The War Between the States” and The War of Northern Aggression”, but in reality it was a war between 2 countries, but for a better description I choose “The War of Northern Aggression. The U.S.A. never officially recognized the C.S.A., if it had it would it would have become a war fought over land as the north didn’t have the land or people to work it to feed themselves. The Confederate States had no intention of warring with The United States, they only wanted to throw of the “yoke” of what was perceived as a tyrannical Federal Government and raised an Army to do just that. President Lincoln was less about ending slavery and more about “preserving the Union at any cost”. To illustrate this point, if a nation were to be a warring nation it would need a weapons of war manufacturing infrastructure and a pre-arranged prisoner of war containment system. Neither of which the South had, had to rely on what few could be manufactured by private companies and what they were already in possession of or what they seized. Being unprepared for war Andersonville was hastily put up, and true enough it was despicable, the POW camps in the north were no better, but the winner doesn’t punish themselves. The North had the vast majority of the Arsenals(this remains true today)and were much better prepared to go to war, but were lacking good military leaders at the onset, as most had returned to their homes in the South. Up until the Federals attacks on and blockades of the South the only engagements were the Southern States trying to drive the Federal troops from their sovereign soil, often without casualties. The fact that Lincoln was less about the abolition of slavery and more about the preservation of the “union” can be illustrated by this, the Army of the North was called The Union Army and not the Abolishment Army. The proof that the War of Northern Aggression was less about slavery and more about states rights is the Army of the South was called The Confederate Army and not the Slavery Army.
A Revolution is best described as an effort to throw off the Tyrannical Yoke of an Arbitrary Ruler and will most often succeed due to the convictions of the people to make a better life for themselves and future generations. A revolution is usually between one Nation and some other place it has claimed as a protectorate. It is also helpful if the two opposing forces are separated by an ocean, thereby making logistics an insurmountable obstacle, as was the case of England during the Revolutionary war.
A Rebellion is best described as an effort to throw off the tyrannical yoke of an Arbitrary Ruler or Government and will most often fail due to the fact a rebellion originates in the same oppressive country. It also helps that the Government has prearranged and staged weapons of war manufacturing in a friendly neighborhood, thereby making logistics a much easier task.
We have again come to a time in our history where we are Living under tyranny, oppression, despotism and an arbitrary leader who has no respect for the rule of law or for the Constitution, and has no fear of Congress. He even has the nerve to say to the Leader of a foreign country “I’m the President, I can do what I want”. The Founding Fathers would be “ashamed” of each and everyone that calls themselves an American and stands by and supports any President of this Great Nation that has such disdain for this country and the beliefs it was founded under. Anyone who supports this Government at this time doesn’t know the meaning of words like Liberty, Freedom, Self-Determination and Self-Reliance. Do you Celebrate the 4th of July, or do you Celebrate Independence Day?
The slogans,words and terms that an administration uses or avoids the use of should and do tell the agenda of the administration and the party in power, all you have to do is stop, look and listen. The next time some tries to sell this nation a policy of “hope and change”, ask just what do you hope will change. Nothing can or will change until you put forth an effort and make a difference, America can not afford much more of this kind of non-sense.
Our Founding Fathers took action and created the greatest nation on earth, get up off your lazy butt and take action, do nothing and you will have nothing. This had always been a country where failure or success was based on personal actions, now it seems that if I do well I must share my rewards with you even though you have risked nothing.
As for the politicians; try this don’t just say the other candidate has no real plan, lay out your complete plan and then state why it is better. Or could it be if you laid out your plan the people might just see you for what you are?
I by no means suggest or imply that I support any government overthrow of this or any other country, I am merely a student of history. If we do not learn the lessons of history, they will be re-visited upon us. History can and will be a cruel teacher to the foolish.
