A Common Patriot Speaks Out

We must study our history

Though commonplace to subscribe to the “no matter where you’re at, there you are” perspective, you must know where you have been to chart where you are going. To that end, we must study our constitution. We must understand and appreciate what it means to live in and contribute to a functioning republic. When we leave it in the hands of others to define our constitution and govern in accordance, we then deserve any and every distortion and misinterpretation. By extension, we become unworthy of this grand republic. We’re no longer responsible stewards of the privileges and rights outlined in the world’s greatest political document.

An Evening Rant of Encouragement

My beloved Patriots, our politicians have all pimped us out as part of a greater agenda. Our economy is now the world’s wretched whore, and she’s being RAPED by destructive spending. Our once mighty industrial back has been broken by traitorous trade agreements, and we fight now for just the dignity of owning our own choices.

They’ve dumbed down a generation by rewriting our history as taught in public school. They’ve made acceptable the proliferation of everything socially abhorrent, and we’ve allowed them to. Now the elite gaze down their hooked beaks at this new proletariat & tell us we’re not bright enough to understand the issues we fight for… that they haven’t explained them well enough, or maybe they need to simplify things.

And to them I say only this: you have not yet seen the fight we so patiently restrain. You will fall prey to the American “can-do” spirit of indominable achievement. You will be bound tightly by the chains of your own insidious ambitions, for we are Americans, and WE… ARE… FREE!!!! More…

Declaration of Revolution

Something ominous this way comes, weaving its insidious tendrils through the fabric of our great nation, each with focused purpose & destructive intent. These thorns & vines of poison & sabotage have names: corruption; tax; personal agenda. Their effects will be severely exacerbated by virtue of their own aggressive oppressions: oppression of creativity; oppression of productivity; oppression of investment. And now you hear the esteemed elders in our communities. They see something the spoon-fed masses miss completely. They loath & fear terms like “nationalization” & “social-justice;” so do I. These words have been invoked before.

There was a gentleman that, while in a position similar to that of this president, initiated a number of public construction programs and government initiatives to stem economic setbacks and unemployment. When those results failed to meet his vision, he began a push for government control of business. Finally, he instituted a system of wage and price controls. Does any of this sound familiar? You may know of him. He was an Italian. He went by the name Benito Mussolini.

Democracy is not the desired end for people like him or any others that don’t represent you when they cast their votes, write their bills and make their decisions. To them, democracy is a means to an end. We are in danger, and these days may be among our final as a society free to achieve our aspirations & enjoy the fruits of our accomplishments! You may be in the final days of having a voice and ability to exercise your actionable right to reclaim the government of our beloved republic.

You feel something amiss weighing upon you heavily. You know things are misaligned with that which our founders provided us. John Hancock told us the following in the Declaration of Independence:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…”
