Defending Liberty We exist in a vast sea of ignorance and lack of understanding in regards to history, politics, and ideology. Not to mention the implications of each upon our nation and civilization. Perhaps we should not be surprised that large segments of society cant put the Civil War in the correct century or begin to find major countries on a map. There are entire political ideologies that rely on that mind-numbing, and sometimes frightening, misunderstanding and basic ignorance that a significant portion of society manifests as a source for their power and strength. I find liberalism/progressivism to be little more than a mental poison, an ideological and philosophical cancer on society, that is malicious and destructive to everything that it touches from the sanctity of human life, to the traditional family structure (the basic foundation of all civilization), to national security, to free enterprise and beyond. It is the bane of Western Civilization, the concept of personal liberty, and a threat to all I hold dear. And it too often shares the mentality (and dare I say even goals?) of some of the nastiest political philosophies that have ever marred the face of the planet. It must be opposed however and whenever it can. I dont live in an ideological vacuum, instead I actively have an ideology and world view. Liberalism is a dangerous, vicious, corrupting and deceptive ideology that hates everything I believe to be true, right and correct. It is as much a religion or mental defect as a political philosophy and I will fight it however, whenever and wherever I can. Im proud to be on the front line in the culture and ideological wars for the heart and soul of this nation. No apologies are offered. We are now engaged in a great struggle for the heart, soul, and future of a nation, a great people, and perhaps even Western Civilization itself. Progressivism destroys everything that is good and just and wages unrelenting war on everything I believe to be sacred, right, and true. They have no pity and are not constrained by the mores of tradition, values, honesty, or rule of law. They dismantle free enterprise, flood our nation with foreign immigrants both legal and illegal, dismantle and redefine the family, mock our traditions, slaughter the unborn, ignore our history, mock Christianity, and shred morals and values at every turn. There are not two equally valid ideologies to choose from. All paths do not lead to truth. The road to serfdom is a path we would rather not take, and warning people what can eventually happen when you give up liberty, control, and decision-making to a monolithic, increasingly powerful, and rapidly growing government that seeks to dictate, regulate, or control nearly every aspect of your personal, business, and daily life is not paranoia, but reality. The face of modern fascism is far more deceitful in the modern age. Progressivism is fascism with a compassionate face. Perhaps I take a larger view of the struggle. People who are out to destroy everything I believe in and undermine the traditions, culture, language and institutions of Western Civilization certainly are an enemy, at least the ideology they believe in is. Have you been paying attention? Are you aware of the agendas being enacted and the ones that are planned? Statism is alive and well my friend, and liberty and freedom are on life support. The corrupt cabal who rule us now would have kissed the feet of King George and embraced his tyranny for the sake of the common good. To the brave founders of this nation liberty was not just some obscure concept to give lip service to, but something worth fighting and dying for. It was real. We have lost that as a society and we must be willing to do what is necessaryto regain it. Liberty is worth sacrificing everything for. It is at the core of what makes us free men. The threat we face is not a fantasy, but a reality that is growing everyday. Defending the Founders vision and the Republic they created with vigor and even their own words and passion is a great thing, not something to be avoided. We are defending their vision and their dream. We are the heirs to their gift and it deserves to be defended every way possible. They earned it and they deserve it. The era of decorum and polite political discourse is no longer with us and has been moldering in the grave for some time. That bridge has not only been crossed (by both sides) but has been burned down behind us. Righteous anger and indignation is a fire that should be stoked, not extinguished. Even Christ drove the money changers out of the temple. There is no shame in that but we all must do what we can to defeat the ideological barbarians in our midst. If the Founders saw the state of the country they would be aghast at what we have allowed to happen to their bold experiment. Conservatives (at least a good many) see themselves as the spiritual descendants of the Founding Fathers and the keeper of the flame of freedom handed down to us from them. What we see now is a protest characterized not by a roar for revolution, but by a call for restoration repair of our Constitutions authority and return to its standard for Rule of Law. Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage on them. Thomas Jefferson It is interesting to see some factions of the Right not embracing guerrilla conservatism. The Left firmly trampled to death the last rules of civility and the argument of we need to be nice, because if we arent they might be mean to the next Republican president is bologna (ask President Bush about that). If you show up to a gun fight with cardboard swords you are going to lose. I advocate ideological warfare and an energized, confrontational conservative movement. The Left is completely dominating in every arena and it is not by playing nice. There are some who wring their hands about civility and propriety while the shining city on the hill is being looted and pillaged by the barbarian followers of an evil ideology. Let me know how playing nice works out. The rest of us will be in the trenches fighting the good fight. Beautifully expressed, and on the whole, something I can embrace However, if I may made a couple observations First of all, it would be more appropriate perhaps to have used say a picture of the Liberty Bell, battle at Waterloo, or breaking free of shackles for your article representing LIBERTY, rather than a depiction of this graphic depiction of one of the most notorious of the sncient pagan dieties Liberty, aka: Isis, Semiramis, Helen, Diana, Columbia, Queen of Heaven, Mother (of God) Mary, Queen of Babylon, Ishtar, Aphrodite, Venus, Minerva, Allah, Gaea, Madonna. And so on The wife of Nimrod, wife/mother of Osiris/Horus, etc She as the iconic figure of Goddess worship, symbolizes the Anti-Christ system, which is the exact root or nature of the evil you are condemning!! Just sayin Secondly, although the general concept of Liberty seems to be a good thing and we all desire and deserve personal freedom, I believe we might have misinterpreted the concepts of Liberty as they have been applied and how they have in fact been used to enslave us. Our founding fathers (or most of them) were part of a group mentality, fraternal order that neither offered, respected nor tolerated any form of autonomy or real individualism. Though much of their real goals and ideologies were kept hidden at the time, we mow know the influence of Freemasonry on this country, so it is important to reexamine our traditions and from whence they came. I will leave that to each of you to do on ypur own, as you should The bottom line is that there is No True Liberty to be found in the traditions of men!!! Even extreme patriotism is a next door neighbor to Statism! IF the majority of the people of the United States are still Believers in the Most High God, and His Son, Yeshua we will begin to understand that this is all a LIE, designed (not by Progressives, Dems, nor Communists, etc) by the TRUE ENEMY of mankind Every single political system in history, beginning in Sumer Has been purposefully created and manipulated to draw us away from God and REAL freedom, the kind only found in service and obedience to Him!! So, we ALL need to STOP ALL the blaming and hating, bickering and fighting between ourselves And see that the kind of deviseness being perpetrated all over the world is what will cause us to fall. Humanity ceases to exist when we abandon our truest purpose which is Love and absolute obedience to He who created us ONLY! This is not about religion, which does exactly the same thing as tradition, patriotism, collectivism, etc does This is strictly a PERSONAL and SPIRITUAL thing!
