December
06, 2004 Beyond
the world of computers, we had come out of the age of trading stamps,
which was the big freebie deal in the 1960's until the mid 70's, and some
merchants gave away glassware, dishes, linens and other goodies in exchange
for cash register tapes. In 1974
we had a so-called energy crisis that hit America overnight, causing panic
and long lines at the gas stations for fillups by motorists who needed
their vehicles to get to work. We had Watergate, the resignation
of a president who had taken us off silver currency the way Franklin Delano
Roosevelt took us off the gold standard in 1933, a divided nation over
the Vietnam never-declared war that resulted in 58,000 dead American military
personnel and the Kent State shootings of 1970. Free began
to disappear. Gasoline prices went up, quality went down, gifts
and trading stamps went out. Freedom
began to disappear also. The freedom of babies in the womb to be born
vanished in 1973 with Roe v. Wade,
a case that an honest Supreme Court would have refused as being under
the jurisdiction of the several states. Little
by little, "free" began to mean whatever the courts and politicians in
power wanted it to mean -- whether it be a constitutional guarantee, a
gift of trading stamps or premiums, or the right to openly express our
religious and social opinions whether they offend someone or not.
Free no longer meant the freedom to live out one's life in the manner
predetermined by genetics, economics and environment. Soon nobody
would really be free, and those most in bondage were those who least recognized
that our freedoms were being lost. You take my freedom and I will
vote for something to take yours, if I'm free to vote, if the machines
aren't pre-set to declare the outcome regardless of the count. Yes, we're
speaking about America, not Communist China, our biggest trading partner
now and one to which American people are indebted for at least four generations
of current trade deficit. Every year,
in those cities that have Chinatowns and some that simply have those who
celebrate Chinese New Year, the celebration has gone on without anyone
of which we're aware going to the Supreme Court because they are offended.
Generally, non-Chinese who really don't know what year it is by the Chinese
calendar enjoy their New Year because of the festivities. It's the
American Christians who have been driven into the closet to celebrate
the First Advent in seclusion, because public displays constitute, in
the Supreme and other federal court's opinion, a violation of the constitutional
guarantee of separation of church and state. Guess what? That
isn't IN the Constitution. Around 1942, Supreme Court Justice Hugo
Black decided to use a letter written by our third president, Thomas Jefferson,
to some Baptists who feared the Congregationalists, to assure them that
government could not interfere in the freedom of worship of Christian
denominations. NO mention was made that religion is to stay out
of government but that government is to stay out of religion, which is
why previous generations of Americans were more aware of God, our nation
was stronger and our laws were based on a biblical perspective of right
and wrong. Ooops ...
free isn't free when it comes to religion, provided it's Christian.
Any others are free in America to display whatever they wish. If
the backbone of the American middle class has been its Christian work
ethic and strong moral values, then the government and courts have done
everything short of massacring Christians in the public square to reject
and repudiate the God of the Bible (while still taking official oaths
of office on it). Damned
liars, our leaders aren't fit to walk a skunk on a leash. Many of
our judges should be impeached, but the one who was removed from office
is a Christian -- Judge/Justice Roy Moore of Alabama, and the American
[civil/criminal] Liberties Union is still harassing him in an attempt
to get his license to practice law revoked. What? Because
he is a Christian? Yes. He has stood by the faith in a manner
which our founding fathers would highly approve as moral and upright,
conscionable and respectable, only to be hewn down by an organization
that supports the murder of unborn infants and legalizing unions between
homosexuals! We're in
bondage to sin up to our eyebrows, which means above our noses, so we're
drowning, we cannot breathe. We're not deprived of air by second-hand
smoke but by first-hand treason against the Constitution that is the foundational
law of the land, its revision at the hands of judicial activists and outright
Communists who have infiltrated America's government, schools, police,
universities and public news and information media. What is
so incredible about all this is the silence of the sheep headed to the
slaughter. There are no great uprisings in the United States of
people who aren't afraid to demand that our government, those who are
elected and/or appointed to positions of leadership and take an oath to
uphold the Constitution, either live up to their oaths or leave office
now! No group seems to wish to challenge the tyrants, which is the
very reason most civilizations have been in bondage to corrupt leaders
and have rotted from the core, fallen to their enemies and disappeared
except from history books. Media,
notably New York's and Washington's prominent newspapers of incredibly
wide circulation, are actually taken as reliable sources of news and commentary
by more people in this nation than any other source except television's
nightly news and editorializing in the name of news. Media defends
media, their owners are often the same corporations, so will Macy fight
Macy? They beware of dividing their house so that it will stand,
while dividing the people's nation by their reverse discrimination, race
baiting, religious bashing of Christians, denigration of the South and
extortion against any and all who dare stand up for the America that was
founded, not as a democracy (which is their term of choice) but as a federal
republic. Nor are
those papers free to the people, the American public actually buys their
tabloid-level trash and pays money to read their opinions disguised as
news. It isn't
safe to assume that a popular crusader for freedom could long exist in
our "free" nation, such folks tend to be terribly accident-prone -- fatal
air crashes, suicides with guns left far out of reach, and mysterious
disappearances with the bodies being found later in some obvious place
no junior detective could miss. So the
freebies have disappeared, trading stamps, good new software (some exceptions),
premiums for loyal patronage, "made in USA" labels, a trade surplus and
a budget surplus, with more losses to come, perhaps even by way of conscription.
One of these acts might light a fire that will burn out the chaff, but
right now no one seems to have a match to light the torch of liberty again.
And just
as we really paid with a few negligible higher prices for the green, blue
or gold trading stamps, so that the items weren't really free, let us
remember when it comes to our nation: FREEDOM
ISN'T FREE. It cost
our forefathers their lives and fortunes in many cases. We're a
might too comfortable now with funny money as long as it's legal tender
to fight for anything good. The subversives fight day and night,
knowing that Americans won't budge unless pushed too far and too obviously,
so they use subversive tactics. If any
nation needed a big revolution, or perhaps more honestly, a big revival,
it is US. Since we're
money-minded, perhaps the collapse of the US dollar and default on our
debt, total recession and humiliation before an angry world, and the threat
of true slavery under totalitarian rule will shock enough citizens into
fighting back at the government that betrayed its trusting sheep.
As of this writing, the dollar is still in free fall and the comments
about that are conflicting but interesting to read. And a happy New Year's Day to all, but beware the rest of 2005.
