The Right To Subsist

What tribute is there to those who died in the name of freedom, than, after all the wars, to have forgotten why we fought them?

Sure, we may have made mistakes, strategies failed, and improper alliances done, but there remains the reason for it all. Why would we gamble alliance with an ally who has little greater love for us than our enemies, whether enemies of America or mankind as a whole?

Therein lies the Conundrum of Truth:

America fights for what it believes sacred, our armies a composite demographic in the belligerent claim of Freedom (at least until President Wilson decided segregation necessary). America is the persistent exporter of the idea of unalienable rights, guaranteed by assuring property is primarily in the hands of the individual, private, and not government (public), property to secure freedom.

We, Americans, took on a role that no one else in the world had even for a second considered:

“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...” Emphasis mine, Unanimous Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776, http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html

We, the People, the Americans, as Individuals, took on this mantle, knowing that, should we succeed, this nation would be the beacon no other nation is, nor had ever been, on Earth. A beacon of equal opportunity for all who embrace what comes their way, and would beat a path to the door of those who are letting opportunity pass by that would be good for themselves and their community.

We, the People, are those soldiers who died over the 235 years since Our Declaration of Independence established this nation under Feudal Customs known throughout the world. Our Constitution, a well difficult to accomplish task, done for sake of assuring that our Unalienable Rights would be protected by, and not a grant of, nor beholden to, the national government We, the People, establish.

Look at your nation today, and over the last 50 years, with every charity possible given in spoil by government, and, that appears to be solely to destroy the very notion of dignity, of honor and its correlative integrity amongst us. This, while our soldiers go out to fight for the causes aforementioned above, their duty today is, in fact, to fight for the right to subsist, as those once were forced to do under the Soviet Union and its Communist regime.

However, our subsistence is worse, as we acclimate passing through the legions of bureaucracy, and being faced by a corrupt and expensive legal system, we give up and acquiesce, falling in peonage to the norm of tyranny under Executive despotic rule with its erroneous belief in “Our Democracy.” We fight to assure our benefits from government are not taken away, irrespective of the fact that we're paying for them ourselves, in a negative fractional amount to the whole that we are fighting to assure government give us, and, that we can never positively pay the full amount without losing every dime we work for. We've accepted the slavery being thrust upon us with open arms in exchange for a privilege labeled “benefit” that must decline with the greater growth of government done under the guise of controlling costs to only continue the exponential increase in expense – we're handing government rein over all that assures our liberty!

We slept while the national government of our making, meant to be bound to us for its existence has reversed the roles, and, at the same time, slept through the national government ignoring, and setting aside, all balance as the States too are beholden to debt currency, granted from Washington by the national government to continue to function. This, of course is the replacement for the States’ taking advantage of their own resources, to foster, and thrive by their own wealth.

Welcome to the American Age Of Oppression under Communist rule and authority that, once again in typical Progressive fashion, mocks us… mocks those of us who died for the sake of Freedom, of the individual and their Unalienable Rights.

How do we celebrate this day without tears of absolute loathing and shame for ourselves and how we've let the ideal that this nation was founded upon, crumble under the weight of our own desire for sloth and gluttony? How can we remember these people without recognizing that our lack of will to work together, for sake of freedom and saving our nation from the “fundamental transformation” that makes all they fought for disappear from the face of the Earth, is assuring those of us who died in these wars over the history of this nation died in vane?

The settlement of differences to which the germane Constitution evinces, assuring a balance of powers and denial of all interference with the Will of the People by government, requires our attention in like manner to the attention given by Our Founders. And should we fail, out of our own vanity, to stand behind their intentions for an instrument written while the jealousy of freedom from tyranny was fresh in their minds, then, while we salute with pride, and a tear on our cheek, let us realize the days of such celebration and a history supporting out emotions will be coming to an end, as we continue to let the nation they died and fought for slip away, along with all semblance of the idea of the Free, and Independent, Individual.
