| The Concept of Liberty, The American Ideal |

The spread of democracy in the world is not a good thing. It can be compared to a cancer. It does not show its evil self until it is terminal in many cases. Life appears to be good and prosperous until one day the monster shows itself. It is a subtle killer. Democracy is not consistant with justice. It is better defined as majority rule at best, and mob rule in its ugly state. The unfortunate minority has no right to justice. Inalienable rights is a mute concept in a democracy. Kings, queens, dictators, and oligarchical rulers are just as likely to be good forms of government as democracies. They all are matters of mathematical probability. They are simply a gamble, a wager between good and evil prospects for justice. Certainly, not a form of government that can be trusted with our lives and posterity.
Unfortunately, we have been duped. It has been threaded throughout the fabric of our populace from the founding that we are a democracy, when in fact, we are not a democracy. We are a nation of law that utilizes a democratic process to select our public servants. Every public servant is bound by the law of our land, not by the mathematical gamble of majority rule. It is individual rights and law that rule the function of our government, except when it has been hijacked.
Our educational system has been manupilated by subtle usurpers and traitors. Some of us have simply been duped by these enemies of The Republic.This must be addressed by We the People. We must educate ourselves first and foremost, as to who, and what we are as individuals and as a government. It appears, at least from the results of the primary election process, that less than 10% of us are Constitutional Republicans, patriots of The United States of America. ( Not to be confused with any political party ) This is, of course, a minority and the basis for the determination, that We the People have fallen victim of a government hijacking. This American will stand alone, if necessary, in the battle for our Constitutional Republic. The first weapon of choice, in this battle, is education. We must recognize the clarity of the framers vision and trust. The Constitution is a documentation of process in controlling government and protecting individual rights. It is a tactic of propaganda, to assert that we can not know what the prevailing framers intended for our government, and for We the People. Clearly, we are a nation bound by law. All descending law is subject to our Constitution, and all public servants are bound to that source of authority. Any trustee ( public servant ) that disregards the Constitution is a liar, criminal, and traitor, and must be confronted and replaced with a patriot.
Liberty is an individual adjective. It does not define political parties, administrations, corporations, cultures, races, genders, religions, or nations. This experiment in liberty is not compatible with grouping or stereotyping. Liberty was and remains the prevailing founders vision and intention for We the People. Liberty is who and what I am. Liberty is a singular concept. It does not define itself outside the individual. You must decide if YOU are liberty. It is the brilliant concept and vision of the founders, it is The American Ideal. Liberty and inalienable rights are inseparable. No government, including this usurpation, orchestrated and imposed, by the enemies of liberty, since The Declaration of Independence, should be tolerated. Majority rule ( democracy ) is a seizure of liberty, from the minority individual perspective. Liberty is not free, the founders knew that every individual must earn it. The battle will end when humanity respects and serves humanity. When liberty is comprehended and earned, when each of us personifies liberty, we become the prevailing founders vision.

Do not get me wrong, I love this country. But take into consideration this...When the United States of America fought to free itself of the British 'Empire' (for lack of words), they were fighting for a piece of paper (The Declaration of Independence that I think not a single one of them read the portion that "all men are created equal". I'm white, so what does it matter to me? The founding fathers of this country could be considered hypocrites. They suppressed the minority, owned slaves (which were not considered equal, or for that matter, even a person), and only the wealthy white land owner's actually participated in the government. So, if we're going to talk about the founding fathers' visions and liberty, maybe we should take a step back and look at ourselves as an individual and actually see where our ideals come from....

First of all, we are not Athens. We cannot all congregate on the hill and participate in a direct democracy like the Greeks of Antiquity. We are indeed a democracy; make no mistake and do not try to play with semantics to prove that we have no "liberty" or that democracy is failing us and will fail elsewhere. I wonder when and where in history a people of a representative democracy like ours have risen up and fought for a major change? Behold this thought: Do we really want such complete liberty? Do you really want your neighbor voting on serious, complex, and sophisticated national and international issues?
In response to the above comment, do not disparage the ideals of our founding fathers. If the writers of the Constitution had tried to take slavery off of the table, the New Nation would have split and divided America would have fallen into the hands of another Empire. For I ask another question: What great nation ever rose to power without the use of slavery? We were born much later, and thus the institution of slavery was later to come and later to be abolished in America. Another point to ponder: Would there even be a black population in the United States without the original institution of slavery? I am surely not praising slavery. I believe the Hand of Providence has led the country on its rightful path. A new nation must endure horrors to rise up, and slavery was one such horror for America.
The Bible calls for the slaughter of enemies of the God of Abraham and looked with no disdain on polygyny. The Koran, as we all know, calls for the slaughter of infidels. Cicero wrote on the inferiority of women. Aristotle's writings proposed geocentrism. The U.S. Constitution did not abolish slavery. Should we condemn such magna opera for their flaws and write them off as hypocritical or disdainful? The answer is a resounding "NO". Rather to understand the ideologies and logistics that went into the Constitution is to understand why indeed we do live in the greatest country on Earth.
