Fundamentally Changing America
My friend, Allen West, made some really strong statements on today's
holiday and I thought it was so powerful that I'd share that with you
today, on Independence Day. West said yesterday on 'Hannity',"I know a
lot of people say Happy Fourth of July but I want to say, Happy
Independence Day because I think a lot of people have lost sight of what
this day means. In this world we live in, 238 years later, we are not
being governed by the consent of the people but rather, President Obama,
is trying to rule us." West continued, "We are fundamentally altering
the format of our government. President Obama, before his 2008
re-election, said that we're 'five days away from fundamentally
changing America', but I'll ask what exactly he was changing from?"
The bottom line is, as we spend our day celebrating with friends and
family, we should take a moment to look back at the reasons why this
great nation was formed in the first place. We need to get back to the
fundamental reason America exists and that is to live under a government
of the people, for the people and by the people. It's not the path
we're on now, but it can be. If you haven't had a chance, check out
Allen West's book, Guardian of the Republic which details just how we can save our country. |

Are We Really Free?
238 years ago the Founding Fathers placed in the Declaration of
Independence a list of warnings and reasons why the colonists decided
they had to leave Britain. Among those reasons, Thomas Jefferson wrote,
"He [The King of Great Britain] has erected a multitude of new offices
and has sent forth officers to harass our people and eat out their
substance." Can anyone see this warning in the multitude of stories
we've seen on the IRS scandals? Jefferson was warning us that the
expansion of bureaucracy would ultimately destroy the industrious spirit
of the American people. There's a reason why President Obama is among
the most unpopular Presidents since World War II. The spirit of our
country can be found in the spirit of those who spilled blood and
risked everything to define it. Our spirit lives on in the words of the
Declaration of Independence. What's bothering me this 4th of July is,
sadly, I'm seeing freedom slipping away in America. There's an
increasing dependency on government and an ever-growing Washington
trying to control every aspect of our lives. I have to ask, are we
really free?
Take A Few Minutes
I won't lecture you or try and make you feel guilty, especially on a
holiday, but if you have a few minutes today or this weekend, check out
the Declaration of Independence
. Just take a moment to read the document and let its sense of
purpose and clarity sink in. 238 years ago Americans felt oppressed by a
government that thought itself blessed by some higher power to take
from its citizens anything it wanted as if the people were mere pawns.
Popular opinion mattered not at all in colonial America and the rule of
law was routinely and arbitrarily applied. 238 years later, it appears
our America is in a similar place. I won't say that we can't turn
America around because I know we can and it can all start with the inspirational guidance provided in the hallowed words of our Declaration of Independence.
