1776 was the beginning of liberating the masses from rule by a few privileged Europeans. Americans rejected the concept that only a select few had the wisdom to control individual’s lives and destiny in favor of a system that grants individual liberty and freedom for all citizens.
This concept, based on self-reliance, personal responsibility, and individual dignity, went against accepted governing at the time. It was a move away from the rule of kings, potentates, self-proclaimed messengers of a god and might makes right to a rule of the people by the people. Very few people at the time thought that it was a viable concept of government. However, they were stubborn visionaries who managed to convince enough people to sacrifice personal property, liberty, and life to fight for the rights of the individual to property, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. With many bumps along the way, a long struggle ensued that lasted for over a hundred years before their goal was achieved. By the early twentieth century all American citizens without regard to religion, race, or gender, officially achieved control of their own lives.
This concept of self-government produced innovations in production, science, medicine, human rights, and the arts, history has ever known. This nation became the most productive prosperous nation and with the highest individual quality of life on earth. With varying degrees of success, many nations strived to emulate our government of self-rule while others so envied us, they were determined to destroy and dominate us. It turned out that we were stronger then them and persevered.
Today there are some who still envy us so that they are determined to rob us of our sovereignty. They have designed a scheme to bring us back to a rule by a few European elite, self-proclaimed leaders of the world. They claim that our success is proof of imperialism and that it is denying success to the rest of the world. Even though we have liberated so many from totalitarian dictatorships at the cost of many American lives, provided more aid to people suffering from natural and man made disasters than any other nation, and have never demanded more land than required to bury our own who perished in this effort, they still want to rob us of our prosperity and liberty.
The most disturbing are those Americans who for personal gain are in collaboration with these self-proclaimed saviors of the world. Under the guise of Global Warming or Climate Change or some other made up non-existing pending calamity, we are facing the plunder of the results of our effort of hard work. Our president and congressional leadership of Pelosi and Reid are plotting to hand over our sovereignty to a World Court and other World Organizations conceived by envious European elite. 234 years ago we rejected foreign rule. After all the good this nation accomplished, with the many great sacrifices by so many Americans, are we going let Obama and his minions demolish this the greatest nation with the best form of government? Are we going to allow the distribution of our hard earned prosperity to corrupt leaders of other nations or will we do everything in our power to keep our nation free and independent of world rule?
Throughout the years, America has been the shining beacon of liberty for the world. Past generations have worked hard to provide future generations with the same opportunity for success they have. Are we going to destroy those past sacrifices? Will we allow our future generations to suffer the yoke of foreign rule, the yoke that our founders gave property and life for the have removed? Or will we renew that spirit of 1776 that brought forth on this world a new form of government of the people and by the people? I say we fight to preserve our freedom. I say help vet new candidates and pick the right ones to replace the scoundrels now in charge. We can make a difference if we put our minds to it and our backs into it. Register people to vote, walk precincts, work the phone banks, and take people to the polls.
