Voices from the Grave.

“Democracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy, such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man's life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable cruelty of one or a very few.”
John Adams, An Essay on Man's Lust for Power, 1763

Is it the passage of time that such lessons from our own countries history are forgotten? Apply this to today. How fitting is it? I find it very much so.

Of those of you following what I have written for you, notice the fact that the questions we are dealing with today are so easily answered by quotes of our founding father. I personally believe that it is because we have fallen so far way from the original vision of our founding fathers.

Close and careful inspection of their true intentions will show you that what we have here today is not that which they wanted this country to become.

“It should be your care, therefore, and mine, to elevate the minds of our children and exalt their courage; to accelerate and animate their industry and activity; to excite in them an habitual contempt of meanness, abhorrence of injustice and inhumanity, and an ambition to excel in every capacity, faculty, and virtue. If we suffer their minds to grovel and creep in infancy, they will grovel all their lives.”
John Adams, Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law, 1756

How today are you teaching your children? Do they understand what our country means, or is their view that which is poured upon them from your television? Do they believe enough in your liberty and freedom that they would defend you as parents when you are old? Look at pop culture today and are those the lessons that make one truly great?

I do not ask for war, nor do I look for it. I pray for peace and hope that we can solve these problems of our times without it; however I am not a fool. There are times and places where one must gather together with like minded people armed and determined to make changes happen.

In stating such, I, as have you, make a call to all of us who are citizens of this country. Our actions dictate the lives of our children and families here and now in addition to those who follow us in the future.

Go out without fear and speak about this invasion to your friends, co-workers, family, and others. You will find you are not alone. Gather together and make plans for action. Call, write, speak, and touch others to find more like yourself. Use them all to let your feelings be heard. Due not speak of hate in that it will scare away the moderate support which has not sided with any. We are all angry; do not mistake me as not feeling that too. The difference is knowledge that the logical and calm voice of reason will overcome the screams.

Let sense prevail in this. If we are not heeded because of greed or outside political actions not of our own people, than We The People will do what is a must, and take back those evident freedoms which were given to us by all and any means possible.

“If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave.”
John Adams, Rights of the Colonists, 1772
