WILL OUR COUNTRY GO INTO BONDAGE?

We treat the US Constitution with contempt, just as we do with the Word of God. “It can't mean that,” we say or “That was back then, today its different.”

The nation and most of its people have lost its vision of the founding fathers and for those who died to set themselves free from a tyrant government.

Today in the United States, each branch, Executive, Legislative and Judicial believe in their sole supremacy of power to rule in violation of the US Constitution. And the Departments of the Executive Branch use ungodly powers against the people.

The people have become the peasant and not the Consent as we will do whatever the governments tells us to do without questioning the government.

It has, again, become necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands, which have connected them with another. It has been self-evident, for some, that we the people are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness. Yet, dare we mention the name of God in any governmental controlled school function.

The government has altered fundamentally the Form of our government to be a Democratic instead of a Republic.

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse (generous gifts) from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship.

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through this sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;

From spiritual faith to great courage;

From great courage to Liberty;

From Liberty to abundance;

From abundance to complacency;

From complacency to apathy;

From apathy to dependence;

From dependence back into bondage."

1787—Alexander Tyler, Scottish history professor on "The Fall of the Athenian Republic"

The American people are in the state of “dependence” and will soon embark on the threshold of “bondage.” Back to bondage to where we came from—King George and England—the very reason for the American Revolution—and the very reason why the Israel wanted to go back to Pharaoh—BONDAGE.

The question present is, “Can we as a people break this sequence that history repeatedly recalls?” For us to change history, and this country, we would have to vote out every Congressman and replace them with Constitutional thinkers. Then again, to accomplish this awesome feat, every American would have to change its view of the Constitution and adhere to the Founding Fathers beliefs. And this is doubtful to happen because as Alexander Tyler said, “The majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury.” They can care less of Constitutional Congressmen—just give us things and take care of us.

“Tell us what to do” -- “What will you do for us” – “Make our life easy” – “Bail us our of our Home Crisis”—“Give us Change,” are the cries of the 2008 election as the people have forgotten the echoes of the past,

“Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country,”
President John F. Kennedy—1961

To sum up the cries of the 2008 Presidential Election—“Please put us into Bondage.”
The politic of the left (Democrats) wants to “help” men live moral lives. The politic of the right (Republicans) wants to “make” men live moral lives. Where is the politic that wants to “let” men live moral lives?

"The makers of the Constitution conferred, as against the government, the Right to be let alone; the most comprehensive of rights, and the right most valued by civilized men."
United States Supreme Court Justice Brandeis Olmstead v. United States (1928)

"I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
Patrick Henry

"I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."
Thomas Jefferson

"The spirit of 1776 is not dead. It has only been slumbering. The body of the American people is substantially republican. But their virtuous feelings have been played on by some fact with more fiction; they have been the dupes of artful maneuvers, and made for a moment to be willing instruments in forging chains for themselves. But times and truth dissipated the delusion, and opened their eyes." --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Lomax, 1799. ME 10:123

"Our lot has been cast by the favor of heaven in a country and under circumstances highly auspicious to our peace and prosperity, and where no pretense can arise for the degrading and oppressive establishments of Europe. It is our happiness that honorable distinctions flow only from public approbation, and that finds no object in titled dignitaries and pageants. Let us, then, endeavor carefully to guard this happy state of things by keeping a watchful eye over the disaffection of wealth and ambition to the republican principles of our Constitution, and by sacrificing all our local and personal interests to the cultivation of the Union and maintenance of the authority of the laws." --Thomas Jefferson: Reply to Pennsylvania Democratic-Republicans, 1809.

"We are to guard against ourselves; not against ourselves as we are, but as we may be; for who can imagine what we may become under circumstances not now imaginable?" --Thomas Jefferson to Jedidiah Morse, 1822. ME 15:360

Do you want national health care? Then the government will tell you want you can eat and drink—there goes our Liberty as free independent people.

Is it your “right” to have affordable housing? "Banks have done more injury to the religion, morality, tranquility, prosperity, and even wealth of the nation than they can have done or ever will do good." John Adams (1819)

Is it your “right” to have “affordable college?”
Is it your “right” to have a good paying job?
Is it your “right” to drive a car?
Is it your “right” to have government dictate to you what you can and cannot do?

Then you want BONDAGE and not Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness and the Bill of Rights.

Now that the government has denied our repeated Petitions of Redress of Grievances, guaranteed by the First Amendment, it has convinced this People and the World that that government is no longer serving the People, but have become the Master and Tyrant and is unfit to be the Ruler of a free People.

Therefore, whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People, it is their duty, to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness.
