Most people today are too busy with their lives, too worried trying to live to know the true Price of Freedom and Liberty.
Some would say that the Price of Freedom is the Bodies of the Patriots that have fought and given the ultimate sacrifice. I would say that they died Protecting the Freedom and paid the Price for it's continuance. May God Bless them for it........But the Form of Freedom, the Definition of Liberty is controlled by others.......it is controlled by the Constitution and Protected By US.
But soon that Control, that Power To Protect Our Liberty, Our Freedom is being given to someone or something else that wishes to change the Definition of our Founding Principles....
There is a Great Ignorance in this Nation about it's Founding, a Great lack of interest in it's Founders.
There is a concerted attempt at re-writing of History that is occurring but yet no one seems to care.....or understand. So I shall take it upon myself to explain.
To Understand the Price of something you must first understand what you are buying, what you are receiving in return for payment. Let's start with a Definition...for those tech minded out there. According to Webster online:
Freedom : the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action.
Liberty: the power of choice; the State of being Free.
The Founders believed that these were given to us by Nature's Creator. In so doing they were trying to explain that No Peron, No Government on earth can take away your Freedom or Liberty. That no matter what someone tried to do to remove your Rights you have the right to Resist their attempts. One can not take away, what one did not rightly give.
What Price would you pay for Freedom and Liberty?
Am I suggesting that you give your life, in a way..... yes.
I am asking that you live your life the way you see fit. ....That you take your Freedom and exercise your Liberty to pursue Your Happiness. But in so Doing, to rely upon yourself, unless another Free Person willingly gives you assistance. Of course there will be some laws, but just enough to Protect Life, Liberty and your Pursuit of Happiness. Everything Guaranteed under the Constitution. Live Free and at Liberty......Doesn't sound too bad Eh? Well reading it and living it are two different things.
Here is the True Price that many, who are too self absorbed, will refuse to pay.
The removal of all Social Programs, Welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, the Idea of Socialized Medicine...ALL Social Programs. The slimming down of the Government's Power and size. The Idea that Government is the answer must be removed from our Minds. Self- Reliance must again be held High as an Example to attain......Not Self-Victimization....
The Constitution and the Founders including James Madison have stated that Charity is up to the Individual to give Freely, not for the Government to institute. If they had meant for the Government to have these Social Programs they would not have written the Founding Documents as they did. They were written in order to restrict Government and Guarantee Individual Rights. They Understood this, Most people today do Not.
Would you rather live 50 years Free and at Liberty or 100 years in Health, Comfort and a Police State where everything is dictated to you?
We are appearing to go Full circle, from a Monarchy to Republic back again to a Monarchy and/or Dictatorship.
There are plans afoot to create a One party Rule by giving Citizenship to those that break the law. By giving Financial assistance from the Government to guarantee Success and Happiness. These attempts are disguised with the cloak of Charity and the face of Concern.
But hidden beneath the facade is the real intention, the hideous goal of ultimate and unrestricted power. Once there is a Party that has all the Power, Fascism and Tyranny is not far behind, then Dictatorship and Slavery.
Many are in denial, they reassure themselves by saying it won't happen here...it won't happen to me. They feel that they are entitled to these "perks" from the Government....... But they are selfish Fools.
History has proven that a Government big enough to give you everything is powerful enough to take it all away. Nothing is Free......
Through our Selfishness we are taking away the Freedoms of our Children's, Children's, Children...we are selling them into slavery for the sake of our own Health, Peace of Mind and Comfort.
Oh! How Future Generations will Damn our very existence, our very cowardice at the inaction of so many!
If we continue down this path, there are only two possible outcomes.
The Founders fought Against one....and fought For the other....
TYRANNY and REVOLUTION.
Either can Happen Very, Very quickly.
So the question is are YOU willing to pay the Price for Liberty and Freedom? Or are you too self absorbed, too entitled that YOU would rather sell Future Generations into Slavery?
The Choice..............is Yours.
