Progressives Should Grow a Pair and stay out of Our Freedoms.




Funny how the Minority in this country along with the media try to make the Majority through political correctness feel guilty or try to make it seem that the majority is evil and somehow not normal anymore. 

 As well as  how they try and change the perception of the truth of the American way through the same use of political correctness.

 Progressives should grow a pair and stay out of our freedoms and get over it. 

The kindness of heart is one of the most taken advantage of things.  People by nature find it easy to just say Okay.  They do so with the hopes it will fade, go away or not effect them.  It doesn't and it will not.  It just gets you, a group or an idea taken advantage of. 

And that has brought our nation of the strong and independent down to its knees. 

We now bow before a nearly godless society of dependent people led by a group with a mind set that was never intended to be.  Kindness and love is one thing.  Kindness without accountability is yet a totally different destructive thing to those who are self reliant. 

Kindness and love is a helping hand and a understanding.  Kindness without accountability is a handout and enabling.

These are some good links to better understand the delusion of political correctness. 




Does anyone else remember George Orwell's "1984"? As I recall, it was the restructuring of the language that allowed the government to control the thoughts of the people. Speech codes seek to do the same thing; by removing certain words from our collective subsciousness, they seek to change our views towards certain segments of our population. While the goals might be admirable, the methods are not, and are by no means justified by the final goal.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, political correctness swept over this nation like a blanket of McCarthyism. New phrases were invented daily to replace the old judgmental and politically incorrect phrases that we had been using since the invention of the English language.

If you want to alter your speech habits in order to conform to your vision of political correctness, feel free. But, if you want to alter my speech habits to conform to your vision of what is and is not acceptable, then you have overstepped your authority. As a society, we should resist the temptation to do bad things for what we see as good reasons. We should not walk gleefully into the tyrannical abyss of speech and thought control. I certainly won't.

Are we free? Or ruled by a King

In our goverment, we have to have some sort of an agreement in order to create a law.  We are a republic that has been treated as a democracy.  That democracy through welfare is slowly becoming a socialist state with a touch of Constitutional Monarchy. 

The simplest idea of government is those who rule over people and land.  This could be a small community, village or continent.

SEVEN BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE CONSTITUTION

· Popular Sovereignty- the governments right to rule comes from the people
· Limited Government- the government has only the powers that the Constitution gives to it
· Separation of Power-the Constitution divides the government into three branches:

Congress-legislative branch makes laws

President-executive branch carries out the laws

Courts-judicial branch explains and interprets the laws

· Checks and Balances- each branch of government has the power to check or limit the actions of the other two
· Federalism-division of power between the federal government and the states.
· Republicanism- citizens elect representatives to carry out their will
· Individual rights-The Constitution protects individual rights such as freedom
  of speech, freedom religion etc

Civil liberties are about freedom. They determine what you as an individual are free to do, and what the government cannot do to infringe on your freedom. People often use the terms "civil rights" and "civil liberties" interchangeably, but they're somewhat different. Rights protect you from unfair treatment under the law. Your individual civil liberties are those - inalienable - liberties mentioned in the U.S. Constitution.

The Right to Life


Your right to life is more than a matter of waking in the morning and breathing. It involves making your own choices about how you're going to live. It means choosing a career that's right for you, not one the government has decided you should pursue. Your right to life lets you choose where you want to live and the freedom to live however you like. You can have children, or not have children, or have as many as you like. You can marry, or remain single. The right to life is about personal decisions.

The Right to Hold Property

Your right to hold property is an extension of your right to life. It doesn't mean the government has an obligation to give you property. It means that you have the right to earn income and then spend it however you want. Once you own something, the government can't in the normal course of events take it away from you. Some exceptions exist, such as if you file for bankruptcy or gain the property illegally.

The Right to Liberty

Liberty literally means freedom. Your constitutional civil liberty to freedom allows you to live your life free of government control. Of course, you have to pay taxes and obey laws. But the government can't force you to take certain actions against your will, in the interest of society at large. It can't tell you that you must vote a certain way. You have the right to make up your own mind about issues, including those that affect the whole country, not just yourself.

The Pursuit of Happiness

Your right to happiness overlaps your right to life in some respects. It gives you the freedom to pursue choices that give you pleasure, satisfaction, and self-fulfillment, as long as you don't break any laws in the process or hurt others. The government can't order you to live in a way you don't choose. It can't tell you that you must sacrifice your personal happiness for the good of your country.


FORMS OF GOV.
Democracy......... The most common in the Western world is called democracy. In democracies, all of the people in a country can vote during elections for representatives or political parties that they prefer. The people in democracies can elect representatives who will sit on legislatures such as the Parliament or Congress. Political parties are organizations of people with similar ideas about how a country or region should be governed. Different political parties have different ideas about how the government should handle different problems. Democracy is the government of the people, by the people and for the people.

 Monarchy............A monarchy is a government ruled by a king or a queen who inherits their position from their family, which is often called the "royal family." There are two types of monarchies: absolute monarchies and constitutional monarchies. In an absolute monarchy, the ruler has no limits on their wishes or powers. In a constitutional monarchy a ruler's powers are limited by a document called a constitution.

 Aristocracy............An aristocracy is a government by the "best" people. A person who rules in an aristocracy is an aristocrat. Aristocracy is different from nobility, in that nobility means that one bloodline would rule, an aristocracy would mean that a few or many bloodlines would rule, or that rulers be chosen in a different manner.

 Dictatorship...............Under a dictatorship, the government is run by one person who has all the power over the people in a country. Originally, the Roman Republic made dictators to lead during time of war. The Roman dictators (and Greek tyrants) were not always bad. The Roman dictators only held power for a small time. In modern times, a dictator's rule is not stopped by any laws, constitutions, or other social and political institutions. After World War II, many governments in Latin America, Asia, and Africa were ruled by dictators. Examples of dictators include Idi Amin, Muammar al-Qaddafi, and Gamal Abdul Nasser.

 Oligarchy............An oligarchy is a government ruled by a small group of powerful people. These people may spread power equally or not equally. An oligarchy is different from a true democracy because very few people are given the chance to change things. An oligarchy does not have to be hereditary or passed down from father to son. An oligarchy does not have one clear ruler, but several powerful people. Some past examples of oligarchy are the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Apartheid South Africa. A fictional example is the dystopian society of Oceania displayed in the book Nineteen Eighty-Four. Some critics of representative democracy think of the United States as an oligarchy. This view is shared by anarchists.

Something is Wrong.......This is not America

People are messed up with there thinking.....

You know, I'm dumb founded.  Have been for a few years now.  It seems like everything that is normal is wrong, everything that is right is now a sin and people are complaining about their on lazyness.

I often wonder why people don't love this place we live as being blessed to do so and thankful of our founders for establishing a land of liberty not found in the rest of the world.  I believe it's because we have become ungrateful, spoiled children that thinks we are owed everything

When this country was founded, if you ate you grew it. If you you had shelter, you built it. If you were in danger, you protected your self.  You had communities that would trade with each other the things you needed.  If someone was hurt, sick or disabled, that community would help out.  People came together under a common cause and depended on each other and what they deemed was their god. 

Today, we have become spoiled.  We do not depend on our selves but gladly take from those who do.  At one point in history this was called lazy, deadbeat, and shameful.  Today, it's called social justise. 

When a gov taxes people that work and work hard to build their dreams because they have the freedom to do so, and then they have it or at very least a large part of it taken away through taxes to give cell phones, food, shelter, ect and ect. to those that just sit back and complain that life is not fair...  well, it's pretty much isn't.  Never in world history has it been, ever. 

We are the only country in the world that allows people freedom to do what they want, when they want, and how they want.  However, the problem with this now days is the gov has passed so many laws and taxes that it restrict business, (large and small)  in such a way that it is difficult to grow, hire people and prosper.

With that said, the gov has as always prospered off the backs of others freedoms and has given and created a voting base by giving that hard work of others to people that don't, can't, will not work.  They have created a social justice society rather than a equal justice society.  Or rather taken our county toward a socialist type on the back of political correctness.  What was once right is now wrong and what was once wrong is now right.

Now, you may say... I can't get a job.  The economy is bad.   YES!!!  This is true.  The gov cannot created jobs, free people do.  What the gov can do is get out of the way like they have since our beginnings, let people created ideas that allow those people to hire.  What the gov has done is creat laws, taxes, rules and regulations that have pretty much shut down the ability to even be able to be prosper.  So what's the point. 

The most prosperess times in our history is when they stepped aside and let us the people built, discover, create, hire, think and take care of ourselfs.  But that's kinda hard to do when a gov raise taxes, gives people free stuff, spends more than they steal from us and borrow's money on the china credit card system. As well as hire 15m gov IRS agents to be sure they get our money. 

Wake up people, this is not a free stuff society.  It's a free society that is being transitioned to a social cry baby, help me help me, this is not fair, Tom's got more stuff than I do society.

Uncommon good Sense-Our founding history Part I



The period surrounding the American Revolution was a time of tremendous creativity and innovations. Clearly, something was waiting to be born.

Thomas Paine, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison mapped strategy, forged consensus, picked unproven talents such as Lafayette and John Paul Jones. They among others made crucial decisions and daring choices.

Through intimidating, out maneuvering, and outsmarting the British, As well as Benjamin Franklin's private mission to Paris in search of a strategic alliance, these men faced challenges and dissension in their own ranks with an enlightened vision from which they would not stray.

It was a time of great change. There was anxiety among the masses, dissent would soon turn to action and a spark of fire is all it would take.

As tempers and passions began to rise the American people became something of a volcano waiting to erupt. Just one major quake was necessary to set them off. And Great Britain provided that catalyst with imposition of a series of new oppressive government decrees. Thus, sparks for a fire.

"A free born people are not required to submit to tyranny!"
Citizens of Marlborough Massachusetts, 1774

The spark of fire that would eventually burn around the world began in the so called New World in the thirteen American Colonies. The people of the colonies were people that for the most part had been born into the freedom that the New World and its distance from Europe afforded. The rest were seeking a better life than they had experienced in Europe. By the mid eighteenth century, all colonies had become members of the British Empire. Due to the geographic location, along with the wisdom of Old Ding George II, Americans were pretty much allowed to run their own affairs.

Philadelphia, with a population of 34,000, was the second largest in overseas British Empire. New York had a population of 22,000 and Charleston with 10,000. Because the Americans were prolific producers of goods, They had a dynamic and prosperous economy. America was famous for its "ragged currency". So named because it changed hands frequently.

HOWEVER, FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE WAS ON THE WAY.

George III, at the age of twenty two, ascended to the throne of Great Britain in 1760, American autonomy was significantly disrupted. The King immediately set out to establish his power and influence over Americans, with no respect for the culture or individuals that were already in place. King George III attempted to impose his will and personal values on a proud and fiercely independent people.

One of the Britain governments moves against the colonies was to establish the Revenue Act of 1764 (Sugar Act). This Act imposed a duty(tax) on American imports of molasses and limited distribution to and from the West Indies to America. The effect was devastating. The colonies immediately united and sent out numerous protestations to London-all of which fell on deaf ears.

Britain was now threatening their very livelihood and Liberty.

And that was a different matter altogether.

END OF PART I
