MOVING THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA FORWARD
By nature, design and choice
He was saying that Americans should refuse to
surrender their individual freedoms and liberties
without first fighting to the death. He would never
have agreed to today’s corrupt politicians and
bureaucrats who exercise a seeming divine right to
rule over us.
Wittingly or unwittingly these political
manipulators more and more control our lives and
actions and overwhelm us with such a sense of
futility that it grounds down our spirits and ushers
in social chaos. That is what happens when they
force through Congress and down our throats
unaffordable and unsustainable legislation like
healthcare, with all it’s yet to be identified
shortcomings and ramifications. Meanwhile, they are
driving the nation so far into debt and economic
crises that avoiding systemic failure may become
impossible.
They seem to hope that We the American People will
become so overwhelmed by the plethora of unworkable
programs and legislation that they are bombarding us
with that we will voluntarily surrender our liberty
and freedom to their control. They seem to intend to
so beleaguer us that in futility we finally cry out,
“Please rule over us and sort out our problems for
us and keep us from disaster, for only you the
government can save us.”
Forcing an unsustainable healthcare plan on
Americans is only the first social engineering step
in a dark, insidious strategy to turn the
Tens of millions of Black and poor Americans think
they can rely on their welfare checks, food stamps
and other government hand outs only so long as they
vote to keep in power the party of welfare and big
government. It is circular, the big government party
remains in power only so long as its voters remain
loyal, and the voters remain loyal so long as they
are kept dependent on big government for their
survival.
This is insanity. We must not allow this great,
extraordinary country -- this shining city on a hill
-- to be destroyed by those who want to remake our
nation into an image that would be unrecognizable to
the George Washington's, Benjamin Franklins and
Abraham Lincolns.
These great men would never have approved of whole
cities and sections of our nation made dependent on
government largess, of government legislating
American morality, or of it telling our citizens
where they are permitted to live, the kind of
housing they can live in, the type of cars and
trucks they can buy and drive, and under the guise
of protecting the environment and the greening of
energy prescribe the kind and quality of food our
citizens eat, and the kind of light bulbs they can
buy. These corrupt power elites want to control what
is taught to our children in school, to set limits
on how much money citizens can earn and the type and
cost of the medical care they can receive, to
establish an agenda that makes most of the people’s
and the private sector’s decisions for them plus
tells them what is acceptable to believe and what is
not.
Today, from Maine to Florida, from Texas to Alaska
and Hawaii there are masses of Americans who feel
the spirit of our Founders welling up inside of
them, telling them that the nation’s main focus
today should be on creating jobs…blue collar
jobs…white collar jobs.
Providing an economic climate under which the
private sector can readily and steadily grow jobs,
plus getting the nation’s debt and finances under
control isn’t as hard to do as some bureaucrats and
politicians would have us believe.
First, we must determine in our hearts to press
leaders to put principle above politics, to put the
interests of the United States above personal
interests, to recognize that there is a difference
between good spending and bad, that spending to
renew infrastructure such as roads and bridges is
good, and spending to increase the size of the
federal bureaucracy and government is bad.
Second, we must get government spending, regulation
and the narcotics of entitlements under control.
This means the federal government has to emulate
private citizens and the private sector to live
within its means and budget and not spend more than
the government has in its accounts. It must balance
the nation’s books and introduce structural reforms
in a way and using a timeline that does not wreck
the economy in the short term..
Third, we must remove the shackles of restricted
energy production from ANWAR in
Fourth, the President needs to declare a state of
National Emergency and direct the Secretary of
Defense to take whatever actions are necessary to
gain control of our borders and bring illegal
immigration under control, within 90 days.
Fifth, the Congress should outlaw the practice of
Muslim Sharia law throughout the
These five steps are not easy to take, but they are
doable. Their successful implementation will take us
far along the road toward regaining national sanity,
solvency, self-control, and toward re-introducing
our citizens to the blessings of liberty and good,
responsible government.
Over the years Congress has repeatedly demonstrated
that it can and will wastefully spend the nation’s
money without regard for responsible stewardship or
political party. Both Congress and the White House
need a good, strong dose of our Founders’ spirit,
the Spirit of
Since neither Congress nor our President seem
capable of doing it, it falls to We the People to
lead the nation back to being the
