The Real Issue

Let me begin by saying that it has been a long time coming for me to jump right back on the blog. Not only have I been a busy bee but also been an active member of tea parties among other not so political tirades such as raising a family and doing chores. Also, College has a tendency to take me out of the loop.

But now let me begin by expressing some of my ideas, especially of what has come about as of late. Many of our newfound leaders among old party lines have been on a rampage. Keith Olbermann of MSNBC has been an attack dog for the previous Administration as well as dampening anyone who disagrees with the current Administration. He is a liar and a hypocrite, a mule for the media and a singing canary for those who try to help his ever decreasing ratings. he refuses to report the truth, only commentary for a fledgling Statist ideal. One day he will wake up to his wild delusional dream of Orwellian Big Brother.

And then there is Sean Hannity. His diatribe of always pushing George W. Bush as a master politician and a wonderful Presidency is absurd. President Bush lied to us all, especially when he stated that he was not going to nation build. Three years later we were building a decimated Iraq and passing the worst bill called the Patriot Act on the population, swinging American Flags creating a new State Religion called Patriotism. Those who refused to follow the Patriot Act in Hannity's eyes was Un-American. No, Mr. Hannity, I am American and I like my government small, the way our Founding Fathers meant it to be. Jefferson warned us about bills like the Patriot Act, stating that they are meant to control the people, not the people controlling the government. Times and war styles have changed but freedom and rights should never be taken for granted, even in times such as these. Anything that gives my government a right to my privacy in the name of national security is Statism, not Liberty. And now, with a the most liberal Administration to ever set foot in the White House and Capitol Hill, are you happy you swayed millions into buying into the Patriot Act now, Sean? Enjoy your legally bugged home now, Mr. Hannity, in the name of National Security of course.

But what is not discussed, on the radio and on the television is something which goes much deeper than two parties at each others throats. Its not about a Jackass or a Elephant. Its not about party lines and Conservatism and Liberalism. Its about Statism and Liberty.

Statism is Totalitarianism and Authoritarianism. Statism teaches us to be secure in our government, to allow government to handle the big issues, to be involved for our own sakes. Statism tells us that we do not have to worry about anything at all because they are there through every step of the way. Statism gives us the ability to take care of all of us, in one way or another. Statism preaches that government is in control of our lives and our security because we cannot do it without the State. Statism raised us to believe that the State is good, its for us and helps us by giving us laws which will keep us safe. Statism later on in University teaches us that we need to be open to outside sources differing from our own roots because we need to be more compliant to others needs than our own, and being the wealthy nation we are we should also give over our own State to others in the name of friendship and social welfare.

Liberty teaches us to think, act, create, tend and govern for ourselves. Liberty also believes in having no government interfere with our daily lives. in fact we should only hear about the government as an entity only when we vote and not be able to visually see it.

Statism and Liberty cannot live together in harmony. The problem is if one lives and takes control, the other can never come back without complete absence of the other in power. Once Liberty dies, it takes another Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, Madison, Monroe, Adams and Jones to rebuild it and sadly we are in great need of those men again.

But for Statism, it only takes the absence of the people and an elite group of men to appoint a dictator of any type to seize the reigns of Liberty and turn a nation into a den of Statism and oppression.

Brethren of America: Forget the Party lines! Forget about beating the Jackass or the Elephant! The Party has failed! Its time to save lady Liberty!
