While many Komrades who believe all the propaganda from the current regime, who I refer to as AmeriKKans, will be celebrating the 4th of July in the usual way, there are those of us who can see, bear witness to, through our knowledge and history, see that the gathering storm is now upon us, attempting to crush those of us who cherish true freedom and liberty as set forth by the Founding Fathers through our Constitution, Declaration of Independence and the Bill Of Rights.

Losing Liberty
By John Porter
It seems to me that no matter what, we continue down the path to the complete loss of all Individual Liberty in the United States of America. I actually, literally cry in my observance of the death of Liberty. I sit alone in the quiet of my study and do my utmost to understand why, why are the American people seemingly so willing to just watch, and in some cases, embrace the death of Liberty.
The greatest
possession a human being owns is Liberty. For two hundred years we in America
have been blessed with our God given Liberty. It has
now become the most abused, neglected and ignored possession we own. The
men who founded our nation, did so upon the belief that governments primary
purpose was to protect and defend Liberty.
The actual
founding was the establishment of a Federal government and it's ruling
Constitution and Bill of Rights. Benjamin Franklin realized and understood
that the only thing which could preserve it, or lose it, was the people
themselves. That understanding was evident in his reply to a
reporter when asked upon his emergence from the Constitutional Convention,
"What have you done in there?" "We have given you a Republic,
if YOU can keep it." I would ask you to now stop reading and sit back in
your chair, close your eyes and think deeply about his answer.
From that founding
moment, the struggle between the governments authority and the citizens right
to Individual Liberty has never stopped. Over the course of time in that
struggle, we have allowed Individual Liberty to be sacrificed on the altar of
government provision and entitlements. We have now placed ourselves in a
position where the Liberty our founders envisioned and gave us is barely
recognizable. And through the currant leadership of Barack Obama and others,
we are on the precipice, teetering on the edge of losing what little Liberty
we have left.
A good
friend and I were having a conversation about this very subject the
other day and I want to share with you her accurate and
meaningful words to me.
"We grew up in a
time of great patriotism. I was concerned about the Vietnam War, which never
should have happened." "Part of our generation rebelled against
authority and ultimately formed the New Left, which has finally come into
it's own. The Supreme Court began watering down the Constitution giving more
rights to criminals, invalidating victims and set out to remove God from our
institutions. We witnessed it and yet felt helpless to do anything about
it."
"John, it is spinning out of control. We don't have that many years
left, which I'm glad of, but what are we leaving our children and
grandchildren?" "THEY ARE THE ONES TOO PREOCCUPIED TO NOTICE." "I tried to
tell my children...both think I'm paranoid. They do not believe...will not
accept...what is happening."
My dear, dear
friends, for two hundred years we have allowed the government to bring us to
the teetering edge of losing our Liberty and entering a life of
bondage. We must begin pulling ourselves back from the deep, dark cavern
of slavery to the government. We are not losing our Liberty
from one huge chop of an ax, but the slices of a thousand cuts of the sharp
razor of Socialism. Someone said, "Government has sliced away for generations
at Liberty all under the guise of a paternal mentality of "providing for" the
average citizen."
Even if we can
take it back, it will not be done overnight, but we must begin. If we
don't, I harbor a great fear that we will not "keep it."
Please forward to all you wish.
Until next time, may God bless and keep
you.
