We the People

Read these words from the ending paragraph of our Declaration of Independence –

‘And for the support of this Declaration,
with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence,
we mutually pledge to each other
our Lives,
our Fortunes and
our sacred Honor.

Consider the level of trust in God as well as the sacrifices made for God and country by our founding fathers…..how much faith and trust are we willing to place in divine Providence to restore our country ? What sacrifices are we willing to make ?

In this day of ‘me-isms’ as well as special interest groups and select special classes of people that seek to isolate and pit us against one another, who and where are the true patriots willing to stand up for our amazing country and pledge their lives, their fortunes and their honor to restore our country to ‘a more perfect union’ ?

To stand firmly upon the ideals established in our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution.

To understand that freedom comes with a cost and that cost is responsibility and sacrifice.

To reach an understanding that a strong country insures our freedom’s continuing benefits.

To reason together within the bounds of our founding ideals of democracy thereby securing the blessings of liberty for our future as a sovereign nation.

To restore honor to the virtues of self discipline and honesty and integrity

To rekindle our pride in the ideals that founded our country – life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

To acknowledge the benefits of hard work and of a job well done.

To remove the growing undercurrent of reliance upon government entitlements and the mentality of victimization.

To disengage the growing tide of class warfare that has been continually escalating by those who do not have a firm belief in our country’s founding ideals.

To restore accountability and fiscal responsibility to our systems of spending and taxation at all levels of government, soundly rejecting socialistic trends.

To recognize and appreciate our diverse cultural heritages yet stand together as one nation indivisible.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America…

Government intervention

Government intervention (at all levels but especially at the federal level) has meant the continued steady erosion of and intrusion upon our liberties and freedoms as established by the founding ideals of our country. It has been a process where the government has obfuscated them from the people, taken ever increasing levels of control and placed them in the hands of the centralized government – and we wonder why we have problems in our country !
Here are some examples:
1) Laws that regulate – these laws have been created to ‘dissuade the evil doers’ who were able to take advantage of people. These laws and their resultant regulatory interpretations end up growing upon themselves, enslaving all not just the ‘evil doers’, while taking on a life of their own – eating away at our freedoms and liberties.
2) The continued frightening levels of legislation that are added to the books every single year that tightens the grip of federalist control continually adding enormous burden upon burden on the people – all while ‘alleviating’ our freedoms (the number of laws on our books has grown exponentially over the last 50 years)
3) The paradoxical laws and resultant judicial decisions – our federal government says that you can not discriminate (neither overtly nor disparately) under penalty of law yet our government allows certain classes of people to be discriminated against due to their closely held beliefs. One blatant example of this is the government’s support for the killing of innocent unborn children – this is the ultimate discriminatory treatment !
And we do these things all in the name of ‘social justice and fairness’ and yet justice is not being served – we have created a system where ‘we the people’ are being discriminated against by our own government (and that’s acceptable?).
Our government, that was founded upon the premise of limited government, has now become the primary director (dictator) of all that we do in this country…the founding ideals of limited government and freedom are all but a memory of the past.

Go, say to Obama

Go, say to Obama, 'Thus says the LORD God," Because I exalted you from among the people and made you leader over My people, and tore the country away from those who are God fearing and gave it to you-- yet you have not been like My servant David, who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart, to do only that which was right in My sight; you also have done more evil than all who were before you, and have gone and made for yourself other gods and lead people astray to provoke Me to anger, and have cast Me behind your back-- therefore behold, I am bringing calamity upon this country.
For the LORD will strike this country, as a reed is shaken in the water; and He will uproot its people from this good land which He gave to their fathers, and will scatter them, because they have made government their god, provoking the LORD to anger. And He will give up this country on account of the sins of the Obama administration and of the Congress, which they committed and with which they made the whole country to sin."

(Modern day extrapolation of 1 Kings chapter 14)
