The Long and Arduous Road of American Freedom

America's Freedom and Liberty Is Endangered by Democratic Party Tyranny and Boots On Our Faces

“Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue.” ~ Barry Goldwater

 

Americans today are facing the most dangerous times for Freedom and Liberty our country has ever faced, and America needs Her men and women of courage to stand firm and strong, together and true to their bonds of friendship, family and community, with every fiber of our being consecrated to the cause of Freedom and Liberty, in order that we may stop the Democratic Party Communists' advancing tyranny and all the destruction it brings. We must do so much more than mouth pretty words, like "I will not submit", as we take to heart and resolve, that no matter how dire the circumstances and the consequences, we will stand prepared to lose everything and even die for the American principles and virtues that this nation was founded upon, refusing to bend our knee to the tyrants and refusing to forsake our beloved America, for anything less will not be enough to win the coming war.

 

Suffice it to say that enough known votes were illegally cast and counted to exhibit the Democrats were, in fact, illegally seated in the federal government's halls of power, by a weak, feckless Congress and a cowardly Vice-President who certified those illegally obtained Electoral College Votes. Although I could go into a lengthy and accurate explanation of why Pence absolutely had the authority and the duty to reject the election results, I'll leave that to you, the reader. However, no matter the legality of the action, in that the votes themselves were known to have been cast illegally, Pence should have automatically rejected them and let his peers wail that his act was "unconstitutional", which would have forced the Supreme Court to do what it should have in the first place and put an end to this election steal.

 

And the American people are left little to no choice on any course of real resolution and the redress of their grievances, when faithless Congress and ever more feckless and faithless Courts have failed to uphold America's principles, virtues and the Constitution as written. The problem is further compounded by the massive growth of the administrative state, just as we witnessed in that unelected election officials arbitrarily changed election law illegally, usurping the power of the states and Congress, as though they were "the law" themselves. Americans now bear witness to the dismantling of our democratic republic, with virtually no opposition from the Republican Party due to its own corrupt nature; and all of this has combined in a perfect political disease that suggests any peaceful effort to reverse this through future elections does, in fact, represent an impossible thing, leaving only a path to submission and serfdom or rebellion and civil war.

 

As for the complicit traitors it took to pull this coup off, that's something else entirely, as a massive element of like-minded Marxist and Maoist sympathizers across the country acted in a knowing and organized orchestrated manner to bring it about, while many others, who were so indoctrinated over the decades made separate and knowing decisions to violate the law on their own initiative to undermine the election and bring about the win for Biden, "by any means necessary".

 

Now, the Democratic Party Communists are in charge, for the time being, and moving to end the filibuster, in order to lock in their criminal election mechanisms through HR 1, eradicate the Second Amendment through HR 127 & 8, destroy protections for women through HR 5, and further destroy existing immigration law through HR 6 that will make millions of illegal aliens U.S. citizens and ensure a new massive addition to the Democratic Party voter-base. All of this is designed to destroy the American Founding, guarantee Democratic Party control over all America for the rest of the century and fundamentally transforming America into an authoritarian regime that will have Us all living in poverty and under a tyrannical state, a composite of every vile thing we witnessed in the 20th century under the likes of Stalin, Hitler, Tito, Mao, Pieck, Castro and Pol Pot. And, if anyone believes this to be hyperbole, what a surprise they are going to receive, should they succeed in ending the filibuster and force their anti-God, anti-Freedom and anti-American agenda into "law".

 

Of course, there are also millions of useful idiots readily seen in the ranks of the Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA organizations, as well as other Marxist/Maoist communist supporters of the Biden administration's totalitarian policies, that have already shown their willingness to enforce those policies and use violence to threaten and intimidate others into bending their knee to the will of the tyrants. They do so as the Democratic Party Communists' boot-lickers, demanding their payoffs and their place at the table of power, in anticipation of things to come, if the Biden administration's terrible plans for America come to fruition.

 

And these Biden criminals and traitors to America, these tyrant wannabes, keep coming for every little bright spot of Liberty that are left anywhere in our country. We've actually heard Democratic Congressmen such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez demand the violation of our Free Speech Rights, through the creation of a "media literacy" initiative that would have a commission to be the arbiters of the "Truth", essentially ensuring the press would become even more rife with Democratic Party Communist propaganda than it already is. This is in conjunction with and/or destroy the lives of anyone not in line with the Democratic Party the Cancel Culture phenomena and Leftists taking it upon themselves to silence agenda, by getting them fired, making them unemployable, blocking education and other opportunities from them, and destroying their reputation.

As one of the best Americans to ever have lived, Patrick Henry, an Anti-Federalist, once said:

 

"Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."

 

In Democrat and RINO controlled areas of America, the tyrants are still attempting to force Americans to stay at home and stay out of school, especially in California, Michigan and New York, and unfortunately, far too many of our people are obeying them and staying home. Some Know-Nothing Fat Ass Commie Bureaucrat issues a diktat from City Hall that demands businesses remain closed, or only partially open at 25% capacity, and most business owners have simply fallen in line, keeping their businesses closed, even though it wipes them out financially and ends their life's work. And still, the tyrants come for the last vestiges of liberty, not willing to give us the slightest few moments of peace unto ourselves, as Lady Liberty sings Her death song.

 

Worse of all, our children are being forced to abide by arbitrary diktats, such as mask mandates, that are based on outright lies, false science and Democratic Party desires to exert complete control over the entire society, without rhyme or valid reason, other than the Teachers of the Unions want to be paid from government funds while sitting home and doing nothing. The children are being regimented and taught to bend their knee to whatever arbitrary authority figure is placed before them, and heaven forbid that they should ever defend themselves against a bully in school; and as every waking moment is now controlled in some fashion, the largest segment of our children are missing out on the most wonderful joys of childhood, such as playing spontaneous games of baseball or basketball, swimming, horsing around together and living free to experience the best adventures life has to offer. 

 

It gives me a whole new appreciation for my Dear Ol' Pop who taught me to question authority, from my earliest childhood days, and if I ever thought someone was trying to make me do something wrong, to come and get him or call him right away. And Pop, a Combat Veteran of WWII, Korea and Vietnam wasn't playing any games either. 

 

One only need read the words of George Orwell from his prescient book, 1984, to see the Democrats' "Utopian Paradise" will be. Orwell writes:

 

"There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always -- do not forget this, Winston -- always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face -- forever."

 

Joe Biden, the Dictator-In-Chief, and whoever is really in control whispering in his ear, seek absolute power, and every single thing they call "good" represents the most "evil" one can imagine. America won't see "heaven on earth" under Biden -- not even close -- but rather, She will experience the most hellish tyranny, as we recently heard Joe say that if we did like he said, regarding mask mandates and social distancing, we might be able to celebrate the 4th of July. His [i.e. Dementia Joe’s] ideological views demand a conformity that is based in despotism, rather than Liberty for all, as prescribed by our Founding Fathers.

 

I guess he wants us to ask permission. Free men don't ask permission.

 

Absolute power corrupts absolutely and it must be countered and combatted every step of the way, until it is eradicated from the halls of government, whenever and [wherever] should it arise. The current movement that has been running against Freedom and Liberty must not be allowed to stand, and it must be eradicated, for the sake of all Americans, in order that Liberty not be consigned to the lawless tyranny we witnessed during the mayhem and violence of the Summer of Love, that allows the mobs of BLM and ANTIFA license to hold the nation hostage to the law of the jungle. At the heart of it all, one finds the Democratic Party Communists, the Enemy From Within, that proves to be, time and time again, an existential threat and a rising menace in America to personal safety, to life, limb, and property, American homes, our businesses, our churches and our cities, and no true American takes this fact lightly today. 

 

Americans who love their families and America, with all Her flaws and all Her exceptional strengths, have a duty and an obligation to themselves and all that they hold dear to protect and defend American principles, the Constitution and our Inalienable God-Given Rights against this Communist assault, this Communist inspired treason against the United States of America. This America we love so well was raised up by the Good Lord to be the Home of the Brave and to thrive and prosper as the Land of the Free, not to be dragged into the stagnating Collective Swamp or be subjugated under the iron fists of Communist tyrants. 

 

Too many good, decent and fine Christian, conservative and independent liberty-minded Americans have fought and died for the people of America's right to live in freedom and liberty, to let it be all for naught. Americans, righteous and true Americans, have fought and lived for freedom and liberty, [JOS] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk8IbcHf0Cs to preserve it for future generations.

Americans created the model for Freedom that so many other countries look towards for guidance in their own yearnings to be free, to create free societies, and those ideas and principles of Freedom have lived too long and deep within the hearts of too many Americans, for us to simply allow the evil men do to take that from us. 

 

The road to Freedom for America was a long and arduous road, and the road along which our Freedom and Liberty is maintained may prove to be an even longer one. We'll soon see who has the spine for this fight and who will run from it to cower and submit to the Marxists and Maoists just to save themselves and to accept the false security offered within the Communist Collective, at the cost of all of one's Freedom.

 

We will not go into that thousand years of darkness and the tyranny that Democrat policies are forcing upon the nation as a whole. Many of Us will fight, many to their deaths.

Liberty Suppressed



Justin Smith tackles the assault on American Liberty and a Free Market Economy. The threat: Left-Wing lies as truth and the slow criminalizing of what has made America Great.

Liberty Suppressed
Freedom and Liberty Are At Risk

By Justin O. Smith

Independence Day is a now a day that has no real meaning for far too many Americans today, as nearly half the nation works tirelessly to destroy our republic and the principles it was founded upon, and the rest of us can barely believe that some who want to lead the nation, Democrat communists and Republican globalists (RINOs), hold a vision, that would reduce us all to serfs serving the government rather than the government serving the will of the people; and a good portion of both sides simply want a barbecue and a good time.  America's domestic enemies see state power as paramount over individual liberty, and unless America's youth starts standing up and remembering how much blood was shed for their freedom and the rights they so casually abuse as they trash America in so many ways, from their anti-American speeches to their attempts to destroy the basis of America and our Judeo-Christian principles, everyone, my children and grandchildren and yours too, face dangerous times ahead. 

Anyone who listened to Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren share her horror over states making gains in halting abortion understand that true liberty and individual rights, even states' rights, mean nothing to the Democrats. Warren called for a federal law that codifies Roe v Wade, with the certain knowledge that the federal government treasury would be used to coerce states to fall in line, as has been done regarding so many other federal laws. 

Even at the local city and county governments, citizens witness elected officials, claiming to be "conservatives"  -- who think they know better than the people -- go against the will of the people, just as the city council in Murfreesboro, TN and  also Rutherford County council did recently when they voted a thirty-five percent and six percent tax increase respectively to pay for services and pay raises and to preserve a government "savings account". 

Our republic uses democratic mechanisms to govern, while certain checks and balances and the Bill of Rights were also put in place to protect the individual's rights. The principle of good governance as set forth by Thomas Jefferson and many of the Founding Fathers acknowledges that the rights of the individual are paramount over anything else one might consider in any government.

Read the unredacted parchment drafted by Thomas Jefferson. It presents an important distinction, in that it reads the "Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America", not the "Declaration of the United States of America. 




These were thirteen independent states, on that hot summer day in 1776, not a "United" States in the singular, a State to be held together at gunpoint or through coercion, and these sovereign states were comprised of sovereign individuals who gave their consent to be governed, not ruled. However, today a stark contrast exists between the single State governed by the central authority of the federal government and the once sovereign states that have become nothing more than administrative districts. 

 Since 1865, "consent of the governed" has become a heretical phrase and must not be spoken of due to its implications. No one now living consented to such an all-powerful centralized government, and if consent is a moral prerequisite to legitimate government, the government of the United States -- the singular behemoth, the Leviathan -- is illegitimate on the face of it. And we have allowed ourselves to become subjects, not citizens, speaking holistically, since some of Us have fought government intrusions on individual liberty and states' rights all our adult lives. 

Think You're "free"? Try not paying excessive taxes, as we recall that the War of Independence was fought, in part due to the Stamp Act of 1765 and the Tea Act of 1773 and three pennies added to the cost of a pound of tea. 

The fact that government can levy an excessive tax against Us today and take any amount of our money it arbitrarily determines is "fair" belies the notion we are free. Whatever of our own finances we retain is only by sufferance and not by right. 

Even though you are an adult, who is responsible for your own choices concerning your safety, try not fastening your seat-belt as you cruise down the highway on a sunny Saturday drive. 

One never really owns their property either. No matter how much one paid for it or how many years it has been paid off in full, one is forced to continue paying money to a government whose exactions and existence were never consented to by him. 

And for many Americans, such as President Trump and even myself, who have often stated, "America will never be a socialist country", America is already well on its way to being just that, if not an authoritarian fascist state, noted by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini to be "corporatism" and the "merger of corporate and state power". Think of "too big to fail", Bear Stearns and American International Group and the 2008 economic collapse and today's Big Tech subsidies. 

America began a major slide into fascism around 1913, and from that point on, when America enacted many of the ideas enumerated in Marx's 'Communist Manifesto',  like a progressive income tax, a national centralized bank,  government ownership of land, government ownership and control of communications and transportation, government schools, regulation of installment buying, price controls and farm subsidies (corporate farms), government housing, social security and "free" education, and several other items. This has essentially resulted from a convergence of capitalism and socialism, a bit at a time, and not only has it slowly destroyed our economy (note that the current economic "boom" won't last) education and the nation's moral compass, it gave rise to the utter corruption of our political system and the Deep State. 

By contrast, in a true capitalist system an actual free-market exists that is unfettered by government interference, finding its own level as the market demands at any given time. Supply and demand are self-regulating, and government controls are unnecessary limitations on economic freedom. 

Today, far too many Americans have come to see government as their "rescuer" in their longing to have every need met by someone else. They expect government to solve all their problems, and that's a real problem, since everything the government "gives" us exacts a price from our individual liberty, not to mention that D.C. draws sociopaths to it like a pile of cow manure draws flies. 

Just as in Venezuela, our Deep State actors, in cooperation with billionaire socialist George Soros, have been most thorough in representing the current economy as a "capitalist economy", even though America has not had a truly free-market capitalist system in over a hundred years, and they have facilitated full socialism into the political realm. And, when our economy finally does collapse under the weight of the current out-of-control spending and the ever growing fascism and socialism, these anti-American, anti-freedom authoritarians will attempt to fool Americans that capitalism is the problem and socialism is the cure, laying the blame at the feet of capitalism.

The socialist Presidential candidates, such as Bernie Sanders, who wants to forgive all university tuition debt and make healthcare "FREE" also, argue that "capitalism" has failed, and while it is true that the gap between the rich and poor is greater today than it has ever been in modern times, and that the middle class is shrinking and the elite oligarchy of the upper class is growing wealthier, it is due to the insertion of socialist policies into the economy. Pointing to capitalism as the problem is based on more falsehoods and fallacies than I can list; such claims are undeniably false.

Capitalism has not failed, but rest assured that the socialists' dream of making education and healthcare -- the two largest rackets in America -- "free" only further ensures that Americans will be turned into debt slaves and bankrupts; and, to date, socialism has always failed in the basic mission to prepare young minds for life's reality and to "first do no harm." 

All of the socialists' policies in education and healthcare would still do nothing to reform the patent idiocies of the gender studies departments and the current misinterpretation and application of Title IX that infringes on heterosexual rights. Those policies also cannot rescue the "victims" of self-inflicted obesity and diabetes from their toxic consumption of Big Macs, Frosty dairy desserts and fries, since these dynamics rest on the wheels of futility, often depression and self-loathing, for which there is no happy ending outside of drastic changes in behavior.

One must also fully understand governments, especially under Obama and even under President Trump, always move in a direction of more control; just look the politicization of the IRS, FBI and the DOJ and the passage of the FISA Reauthorization, bump stock regulation and various new bill proposals. Given enough time, governments always create a state of despotism, and historically, governments never voluntarily reverse their level of control and introduce greater liberty. 

Although the number is disputed by some, even President Ronald Reagan once noted that there are roughly 20,000 laws regarding gun control alone, and that's just the federal illegitimate "laws". So many other "laws" exist that it's been estimated the average American commits approximately three felonies each day, and this makes the authorities' task very simple, if for any reason they wish to victimize you. Just ask the Bundy Family, Hammond father & son, LaVoy Finicum's Family, Lt. General Michael Flynn and Michael Cohen and a few others. 

Thomas Jefferson once stated: "Even under the best forms of government, those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny." 

God help America if the Democrats take the majority in the Congress and the Oval Office anytime in the near future and implement a more stringent and authoritarian form of the morally corrupt, economy destroying and de-civilizing ideology of socialism and the sick social system it embodies. Their system must be exposed for all the obnoxious, abhorrent and hellacious ideas it represents.

Too large a segment of America no longer cares for individualism, free markets, personal freedom and free minds, and in fact, they now mock the very virtues America was founded upon. They may have some ill-formed, nebulous notion on ethics that they borrowed from the Boy Scouts, but they basically assert that socialism and communism are as equally good as capitalism, while their reigning philosophy is a mixture of Marxism, identity politics, anti-male feminism and anti-white racism. 

The institutional damage along the way has been epic, and the scene today is a debris field of broken ideas, that strayed far and away from the Founding Principles and the Original Intent of the U.S. Constitution. The far left still advocates the failed Marxist vision as having national support and purpose, as they rush to implement and organize a chaotic demolition of pretty rigorous American values and traditions and even historic monuments and paintings, in their insane desire to eradicate our republic, a country that still may be the "home of the brave" but is now barely recognizable as the "land of the free".

America is the only country in the history of mankind that was founded on the principles of individualism and personal freedom, that manifested in the early rugged American independent nature of America's people. America is still special, still unique and still that Oh So Exceptional nation that has millions across the globe rushing towards Her shores, even if it's becoming harder to see the fact and the light of liberty shining from Lady Liberty's torch is growing dimmer each day.

As the Founders' spin in their graves, America is now rapidly nearing the point of the ultimate inversion, where the government is free to do anything it pleases and our individual liberty is suppressed and we must bow to the altar of the state and beg permission to act. And this is the stage of the darkest times of human history, the stage of total dominance and rule by violence and brute force.  

Is it too late to restore and save our beloved America? Nothing is ever too late if it serves a righteous cause, and I defy anyone to name any better causes for Us to firmly stand together and defend than our God Given Rights, the Bill of Rights and individual liberty in America, even if it takes us into the streets of our nation in armed conflict and civil war. 

A certain chapter in American history is closing and the future of America and freedom is at risk. Those of Us who love freedom and liberty and America must grab hold of the moment to seize the 21st century for our children's children and their children and generations beyond to ensure their economic prosperity and liberty and a 21st century that becomes all the Founders envisioned, full of an appreciation for life and all America originally represented, God's glory and grace.
