A Call To Arms

Even though there is not large popular support for greater government involvement in healthcare, the Democrats are marching on toward it. Stop and think for a moment … we’ve seen rally after rally and town hall meeting after town hall meeting against government healthcare. The Tea Party movement picked up steam because the Democrats and President Obama are forcing the issue onto Americans. What we haven’t seen are rallies and meetings in support of it. I have been to a Tea Party and I know people that have been to Tea Parties … while most of the attendees do not support Democrats or did not vote for Mr. Obama, a lot of them did vote for Mr. Obama … and they say this is not the change they anticipated from Obama and the Democrats.

Democrats lay claim to championing the needs of the poor and minorities. Currently there is a large minority of Republicans, and Independents on Capital Hill that do not support government run healthcare. We do not see large minority groups or poor people holding marches and rallies supporting goverment healthcare anywhere in the streets of our cities and towns ... what we do see is a ruling class forcing their will … a will that will bankrupt the country and restrict healthcare - not expand it. The Democrats are tyrants and bullies … they believe that only they have the correct answers to our problems … yet it has been mostly Democratic policies approved by Congress for the last 80 years that brings us to this chapter in our history. We cannot be fooled into believing that the last eight years under George W. Bush got us here … if you and I were to buy that, then we would have to believe that the American revolution was fought for selfish reasons and not to remove tyrannical British oppression from the colonies.

We have to understand that the Democrats in Washington DC are in fact tyrants, I’ve heard it called soft tyranny. Mark Levin (talk radio host, attorney, and author) in his best selling book Liberty and Tyranny states: “The modern Liberal believes in the supremacy of the state, thereby rejecting the principles of the Declaration and the order of the civil society, in whole or part. For the Modern Liberal, the individual’s imperfection and personal pursuits impede the objective of a utopian state. In this, Modern Liberalism promotes what French historian Alexis de Tocqueville described as a soft tyranny, which becomes increasingly more oppressive, potentially leading to a hard tyranny (some form of totalitarianism). As the word ‘liberal’ is, in its classical meaning, the opposite of authoritarian, it is more accurate, therefore, to characterize the Modern Liberal as a Statist.” I believe Mark Levin is correct. Thomas Jefferson said “when the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people there is liberty.” I’ll ask you whom should we fear? The Democrats that are forcing their will onto us with a narrow majority … or normal everyday Americans that want a responsible government that is accountable to us, we the people.

Our government has saddled the country with a suffocating debt that is unsustainable. Thomas Paine wrote in his pamphlet Common Sense “extending millions for the sake of getting a few vile acts repealed.... is unworthy the charge, and is using posterity with the utmost cruelty; because it is leaving them the great work to do, and a debt upon their backs, from which they derive no advantage.” It is cruel to acquire debt and expect others to pay for it … only a tyrant would do such a thing (in our case it is a ruling party of tyrants). The bailouts have not bailed us out, the promised stimulus has not occurred. How arrogant it is for our President to give himself a B- grade and at the same time call the bankers he worked to bail out Fat Cats when he is feeding them! Government borrowed money to save powerful influential forces at the expense of the nation.

Are we headed to a Dictatorship of the proletariat that Marxist believe must come before communism can take root? Read the works of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao. Take time to find and read The Communist Manifesto (it is easily found on the internet) … it may as well have been written by Howard Dean. There is only one problem with a dictatorship of the proletariat taking place…you have to have a proletariat! {Proletariat: The class of industrial wage earners who, possessing neither capital nor production means, must earn their living by selling their labor.}

We do not have a proletariat class as described by Marx. In fact, Russia and China did not have a large industrial class of workers when their communist revolutions took place. No matter what the Democrats and Liberals have to say in our modern day United States, we do not have any large oppressed classes of people. I am not saying that there are no unhappy Americans … we all know that is not the case. However, let us not forget that all Americans are free and may possess property and capital and participate as much or as little in the free-market and government as they choose.

We are currently being railroaded by Statist in the likes of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders, on a pathway to hardship. What do all of them have in common? … they are Democrats and only one of them has the honesty to proclaim himself a Socialist. Republicans are not blameless; however, it appears that they have seen the danger of the Statist and have decided to be obstructionist at a time when we need them to be.

Thomas Jefferson said “a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing” … and at times like these, a necessary thing. This is my call to arms. Not in armed conflict with fellow Americans, but an engagement, armed in truth and honest information. We must re-educate Americans on our Constitution, and the reasons why there is a United States. We must show them the blessing of liberty we have received from having freedom of religion as well as from free-market capitalism. We must show reluctant Democrats the failure of their leaderships ways and that it is time for them to abandon ship and save the United Stated from unnecessary harm.

There you have it.
Pass it on if you like or let me know if I don’t have a clue.
