The Division of America…

…is unlike anything since the Civil War. Is there another civil war brewing in America? I think that there may very well be.

The path that we are on will lead to the people being enslaved by government with no individual liberty, or there will be a civil war that tears this country apart.

I can only hope that we get enough people in government like Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Alan West and others that can turn this ship around before it is too late.

This is a good read. I thought it needed sharing.

The Division of America

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

When Abraham Lincoln gave that speech in 1858, a civil war was brewing. The states, as well as the people, were sharply divided on the issue of slavery and state’s rights. In 2013, could another such war be looming? A war that the government is encouraging for the sake of its own gain of power?

Most “normal” people would scoff at the idea. Sure, we may have our differences, but few would believe that it will actually lead to violence and bloodshed. We’re all Americans, after all. But while this is true, we have recently become a nation of specialized citizens. Anglo-Americans, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, liberals, conservatives. And the list goes on.

While no one is suggesting that people should not embrace their individual heritages, we should not do so at the expense of alienating ourselves from our neighbors. We’re all in this together. One need only watch TV, read a newspaper, or attend a local government function, however, to see that we are drifting further apart. We no longer simply disagree. We disagree vehemently. Disagreements are no longer tempered by civility and respect for the opposing view. Heated words and insults are now de rigueur. Many liberals and conservatives view each other not with simple disdain, but with absolute hatred.

…in the saddle again.

Is America’s freedom at stake? With the election of Obama for a second term, it may very well be.

The loons on the left seem to think that government is the be all, know all, when it comes to their lives. The Rule of Law, along with property rights, gun rights, and the free market itself are in jeopardy now. Socialism is the antithesis of freedom. You cannot have socialism with freedom. It’s impossible. The state runs everything and takes away from those that have to give to those that do not. I fear that with another four years of this, America may not recover from it fully.

Here’s what socialism does to a society:

  • Medical care is universally available but the quality of care declines with each passing year. Ask Britain.
  • Economic decline is inevitable. It’s already on the way down. Are you better off? I’m not.
  • Religious freedom and freedom of speech are suppressed.This is already happening.
  • Groups favored by the government are granted special privileges. Exemptions from Obamacare anyone? Unions and their cronies.
  • Private ownership of firearms is reduced, or eliminated under the guise of combating crime. Assault weapons ban, UN small arms treaty.
  • Personal liberty declines for everyone except politicians and their cronies.

It’s hard to remove socialism once it is the norm. Everyone that gets something from the government teat will continue to vote for it.

I will fight for freedom. It ain’t over yet.

Obama’s Election Seals Our Fate
By Monty Pelerin

The Obama re-election dooms the country. It ensures that his philosophy will be imposed for another four years.

His election ensures the continuing shift away from the Rule of Law, property rights, free men, and free markets. Obama’s vision of how the world works ensures a dire economy until an economic collapse resets everything. The rest of the world, apparently bigger Obama supporters than U.S. voters, will not be immune from the consequences.

The Fundamentals of Progress

Peace and progress are the children of freedom.  The wealth of nations was explained more than two hundred years ago by Adam Smith.  Property rights and markets coordinate behavior in a manner that all are made better off by the pursuit of self-interest.

President Obama’s view of the world is in contradiction to anything that has ever succeeded.  He believes that elites should manage and direct people’s lives.  This fatal conceit, as Friedrich Hayek referred to it, produces failure and misery wherever it is tried.

Are We Living in a Post-Constitutional Country?

Mark Levin is definately on to something here. I believe that America is lost. The only way back is to stop liberalism in its tracks and repeal the many laws that violate the Constitution. Otherwise, we may see another 1775.

Mark Levin on ‘Ameritopia:’ ‘We Now Live in a Post-Constitutional Country’

(CNSNews.com) – In an interview with CNSNews.com about his new book—“Ameritopia: The Unmaking of America”—Mark R. Levin said he believes America has already largely become “a post-constitutional country.”

The book, released Monday, compares the Utopian and unworkable schemes laid out by political philosophers from Plato to Thomas Hobbes with the vision of natural law, God-given rights, and individual liberty that inspired the Founding Fathers when they wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

SOPA: Endgame Is Total Internet Censorship…

This is an assault on free speech through the back door of misguided legislation, or maybe it really was the intent all along. Either way, SOPA is going to kill the internet as we know it, if it is allowed to move through the swamp formerly  formally known as Congress.

Write your moron in Congress and the Senate. The Senate’s version is PIPA.

From Prison Planet:

SOPA: Endgame Is Total Internet Censorship

The Stop Online Piracy Act is not intended to make the internet more secure or even to protect copyrighted material. Its sole purpose is to codify First amendment killing actions already being undertaken by an out of control federal government.

Media talking heads and bloggers alike continue to debate the technicalities of the legislation, however, it is clear that SOPA and PIPA, (Protecting IP Act) the Senate version of the bill, form a double pronged attack on the free and open internet. The bills constitute weapons of mass destruction in the infowar, a huge leap forward for the long running agenda to completely re-structure and centralize the internet under government control.

As detailed in depth in an excellent article today in The Globe and Mail, should the legislation be signed into law in January, it will provide the U.S. government, through the office of the Attorney General, the power to pursue court orders against any site believed to be engaging in or ‘facilitating’ ‘copyright infringement’. The problem being that the bill’s definition of such terms is so broad that entire web sites could come under threat of being effectively seized and shut down for merely displaying one offending hyperlink.

Some felonies under SOPA, such as “streaming copyrighted content” – again the terminology is vague at best – carry a five-year prison sentence.

Today Is Bill of Rights Day…

Hop on over to CATO@Liberty for this. Too bad Obama and the morons in Congress continue to chip away at our freedoms. So much for the Bill of Rights…

Today Is Bill of Rights Day

Posted by Tim Lynch

Today is Bill of Rights Day. So it’s an appropriate time to consider the state of our constitutional safeguards.

Let’s consider each amendment in turn.

The First Amendment says that “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech.” Government officials, however, have insisted that they can gag recipients of “national security letters” and censor broadcast ads in the name of campaign finance reform.

The Second Amendment says the people have the right “to keep and bear arms.” Government officials, however, make it difficult to keep a gun in the home and make it a crime for a citizen to carry a gun for self-protection.

The Third Amendment says soldiers may not be quartered in our homes without the consent of the owners. This safeguard is one of the few that is in fine shape — so we can pause here for a laugh.
