The American Principle of Liberty
This issue arises every 80 years like clockwork. After more than 80 years as colonies, the American/British colonies found the British Crown stifling and authoritarian. The result was the American Revolutionary War a war for American independence and liberty. The next iteration of the conflict between liberty and state authoritarianism occurred in 1860 when the American South seceded from the United States. The third iteration happened in the 1940s, WWII a war between the nations fighting for authoritarianism, fascism, Nazism, and the countries fighting for liberty. In each case, liberty won. We are now 78 years after 1940. Our 80-year cycle is up, it is time for America, and probably the world, to again fight the eternal battle between the forces of state authoritarianism/fascism, and the forces of liberty. By all accounts, it appears this will once again be a civil war, although it could also be an international war. The author is correct, liberty is is a tight position, and if we fail to protect it, it seems likely that the progressives will usher in an extended period of social, economic, political, and personal decline. The erosion of rights will be swift and sure, as will the expansion of regulations which will stifle economic growth, destroy the middle class, shrink the upper class to only the very wealthy while expanding the poor just like the Soviet Union, China, and every other socialist movement did once they achieved power. "To take back America from the Progressives and to restore America to the Founders' principle of liberty won't be easy. The Progressives have captured the commanding heights. They populate the permanent administrative state, the courts, the media, academia, and Hollywood, and they are determined to have their way. But in America, the people are still sovereign. If we are to turn the tide, each of us must first learn to think like a Founder, just as Americans have always had to learn to do. Then we must reach out to our circle of influence and beyond as far as we can to help our fellow Americans also learn to think like Founders. I have this bit of advice for you. We are not going to change the minds of the people at the core of the Progressive movement. They are ideologues. Our opportunity is elsewhere, with the many Americans who can be reached, who want to believe in America, who want to believe that America is a good country that can be made better again, but don't know where to turn for help. Take up the cause; be the help they need." Now is the time to rise, to be counted, and to fight. There is no longer an alternative. Fight for family, friends, and country. Fight for liberty. The right to self-preservation and the right to self-defense are inalienable natural rights The Natural Right of Self-Preservation What do progressives not understand about Constitutional rights?
