Government the creation of men… empty constructs to be filled with the aspirations of its expectant benefactors… Whether the government is a Monarchy or a Communist Dictatorship, the form it takes or the labels assigned to it matters little … when describing its character. Nay, the character of government most often emanates from those who administer the government. It is the curse of men to find that all things of the flesh are corrupt and with time lose their savor for life…
A Capitalist government can be as destructive to the whole as the worst envoy of Communism or the Monarchs of the past… The hammer of government can be used to forge the metal of a fascist state or create predatory economies of scale so great that the weight of it smoothers the poor and middle class. The captains of industry with the citadels of political power, leverage their position and privilege to create a state filled with wage slaves… what then is the difference between those who suffer under the hammer and sickle of the commissar or the capitalist’s tyranny of deceit.
What difference is there between those who labor under economic oppression and those who suffer the fist of a socialist dictatorship? Is the earth that consumes their labor and receives their body any different in a fascist state, than the gulags of communism? Can liberty be so easily disguised? What manner shall liberty take … Can it be found in the broken lives of the poor or the stolen wealth of the middle class? What triumph awaits those whose end is poverty, whose heritage is endless labor?
Let the wicked no more bear the mask of deceit… let them be exposed in all the regalia of their usurped wealth… the stolen wages and promises of the oppressed… Those whose life is spent feeding the citadels of capital, only to inherit the wage of fools, a grave filled with the hardened heart of their betters… as they pick over the residual wealth of the dead.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered...” Quotation credited to Thomas Jefferson with some marginal dispute.
“The State is that great fiction by which everyone tries to live at the expense of everyone else.”
“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.”

Unless the Lord builds our house it will not stand... If the Lord builds our house no one can tear it down... Why then are we standing n the rain looking at the ruin of our homes?
Do we glorify greed and avarice while ignoring the Judeo/Christian ethic? Shall we continue the great lie that America can maintain its middle class and lift its poor while ignoring the corporate greed that has grown up all around us... Or are we in a race to the bottom ... The lowest common economic denominator, in an equation that robs the wealth of the middle class and supports the plunder of mankind?
Do we believe that a plutocracy of the world's wealthy 1% has fairly ACQUIRED over 90% of the world's assets... and that all this wealth was acquired without eliciting the power of corrupt government? Do we believe the world is overpopulated or suffers from global warming... that the world needs to eliminate 5 Billion souls to reach a sustainable population? Or, are these things the work of a misguided and corrupt Plutocracy to reach out for control over the Earth... a new world order?
Has our nation abandoned God and His plan for ethical governance... Have the godly men and women been dupped into embracing self-actualization independent of God? Do we believe that mankind is capable of sustaining world order without God or His ethical plan for life? Are we now capable of self-government or do we still need God to be prosperous and a nation at peace?
The American dream
“I had a dream the other night, I did not understand. A figure walking through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty, as he stood there by my bed, he slowly took off his tricorn hat, and speaking low, he said:
We fought a revolution, to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we plea, to this the home of the brave, and the land of the free!
The freedom we secured for you, we hoped you’d always keep, but tyrants labored endlessly, while your parents were asleep. Your freedom gone, your courage lost, you’re now no more than slaves. In this the land of the free and the home of the brave!
You now buy permits to travel and permit to own a gun, a permit to start a business or to build a home for one. On land that you believed your own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in choosing, how the money’s spent!
Your children must attend a school that doesn’t educate, your Christian values can’t be taught, according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, you pay a tax you do not owe, to please the IRS!
Your money is no longer made of silver or of gold, you trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make your nation, turn from God in shame, you’ve taken Satan‘s number as you traded in your name!
You’ve gave government control to those who mean you harm, so they can padlock our churches and steal the family farm. They keep our country deep in debt, put men of God in jail, harass your fellow countrymen while corrupt courts prevail!
Your public servants don’t uphold the solemn oath they’ve sworn, your daughter’s visit Doctors so their children won’t be born. Your leaders ship artillery and guns to far off foreign shores, then send your sons to slaughter, fighting other peoples wars!
Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died or don’t you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? Are there no more values for which you’ll fight to save or do you wish your children to live in fear and shame!
PEOPLE OF THE REPUBLIC, arise and take a stand! defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. Preserve our Great Republic and our God given rights, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright!
As I awoke he vanished, in the mist from whence he came, his words were true, we are NOT free and we have ourselves to blame. But even now at tyrants trample each God-given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight!
If he stood by your bedside, in a dream while you’re asleep and wondered what remains of our rights he fought so hard to keep. What would be your answer if he called out from the grave,
“IS THIS STILL THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE”?

Liberal America Dream.
You can buy things you don’t need,
with other people’s debit,
To impress friends you don’t have,
Or people you’ve never met!
Dreams are often used by God to speak to the heart of mankind... Great post and very appropriate for the time we live in...
