Racism

I've reached my saturation point with the left and the leftist media when it comes to racism. I find it odd that what some call free speech, others call racism. What is racism, since nobody can obviously agree as to what it is? If we were to look at the dictionary we would see this definition, "a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement...a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine, hatred or intolerance of another race or other races." These definitions seem to give a pretty good synopsis of what racism is, and in essence what it isn't. Yet our government under Obama, or I should say our Justice Department under Holder who is under Obama, has determined a man standing outside a polling station on election day holding a club and declaring to white people as they approached, "I hate white people, I hate every iota of a cracker...you've gotta kill some cracker babies if you want freedom, kill every cracker baby"; is not racism, but free speech. Yet, on the other hand a person holding a sign saying "NObama" is racist because Obama is black and therefore the person holding the sign is a bigot and a racist and therefore the Tea Party movement is racist. Do we need to refer back to the definition of racism to see the irony in that determination of racism?

Let's talk about racism. The Black Panthers, the group that Eric Holder and the Justice Department and Obama have decided that they are not going to pursue with legal jurisprudence because they don't see anything wrong with what they did, are racists. The leader of the group when asked if he supported what was said by the man outside of the polling station, never said that he didn't agree with him, as a matter of fact he said that for the sake of the interview he would say no he didn't believe that they needed to kill all white babies, but should focus more on the police instead. And the man who was the leader of that prestigious organization prior to him gave a talk in South Africa saying that he believed that all white babies and their mothers should be killed, because the white babies grow up to be oppressors as taught by their mothers. Then you have the Weatherman organization who during the 60's and 70's attempted to start a race war between the whites and blacks to cure the injustices against the blacks. Don't forget that Obama is good friends with one of their "charter members" Bill Ayers. They believed wholeheartedly that white mothers and babies needed to be killed in order to stop the "oppression" against the blacks. And, our own government has repeatedly passed laws putting on an unequal ground whites and minorities (as they like to refer to us as). Minorities are constantly being told by government that we can't stand on equal ground as the whites therefore we need help to compete with them. I don't know about other minorities, but I don't feel inferior to any race, creed or person. I don't think I need special privilege to measure up to the whites. I guess that just shows that I am naive and need the governments help to save me from my own ignorance.

On the other hand, somehow the belief that our desire for us to return to the guidance of our divinely inspired Constitution is racist, is absurd. A scripture comes to mind found in Isaiah 5:20 which states "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" It is believed that our desire to return to the Constitution is a desire to propel us back to the ante-bellum days of America when slavery was legal and oppression was accepted. Because the Founding Fathers were slave owners, evil and racists. This train of thought shows the ignorance of those purporting such beliefs. Any review of the notes and writings coming out of the Constitutional Convention would show that many of the Founding Fathers believed that slavery should be outlawed in the United States, but ceded the issue to ensure they could get ratification of the Constitution and thereby save the Country that they loved. George Washington upon his death freed his slaves and set up a trust fund to ensure that they could get educated. Does that sound like a man who desired to oppress the black people? The Founding Fathers who ceded the issue believed that the day would come when the issue would be brought up again and they hoped that at that time the people would be ready to do the right thing. The Constitution was written to protect all, not just the whites. Our desire to return to the Constitution of the United States is nothing more than a desire to retain our freedoms as Citizens of this great Nation. We are a shining city on a hill, you don't light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candle stick and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. We are that candle! We need to start shining and be a moral people.

Racism is found in all parts of society, and it is not, nor should it be acceptable in any of them. All people are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, among them are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We must put aside the rancor and embrace that which unites us, our Constitution, and our liberty which it ensures. We must ever remain a Nation United!

Independence

This being Independence Day, this morning I took the opportunity to read the Declaration of Independence. It is a document that is given even less respect than our Constitution. It outline in no uncertain terms or language that our rights are derived from God, and not Government. I believe that the Declaration is given lip service as our government leaders quote that we are guaranteed life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I remember a couple of weeks ago, I was listening to the radio and a clip was played of a Democrat Congressman being asked from where he derived his authority to mandate health insurance for everyone, and he said it was from the Constitution, and the follow up question was where in the Constitution, and he responded that we are guaranteed life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. He was told that that wasn't the Constitution, but the Declaration of Independence, and he said that he didn't care, but he derived his authority from a moral responsibility.

I am sorry, but that is completely and wholeheartedly false. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States both declare in plain english for all to read that the rights of the people are derived from God, and that government derives its' power and authority from the people. For government to say that they are the ones who give us the rights to exercise under the Bill of Rights, is a statement rife with arrogance and naivete. The government can't take from us our freedom of speech, because it is inherently ours as an unalienable right given us from God, not man. The definition of unalienable is, "not to be separated, given away, or taken away". Therefore our rights as free Americans can't be diminished by government, or I should say government has no authority to abridge or diminish our rights as free Americans. The Declaration of Independence is correct in its declaration that, "all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed". We the people of the United States of America who see the tyrannical and despotic actions of the Federal Government, have tried to redress the situation through peaceful means. We've endeavored to sound the alarm in a manner to help all Americans to wake up to their God-given right to self-government.

We declare that government is established, "for the people, by the people, and of the people". Government is established and revoked by the will of the governed. We the People of the United States of America are a free people, so established by heavenly decree and ratified by the Constitution of the United States. Our freedoms are not diminished by the will or desire of others to take them from us. We must boldly stand, or we will be made to kneel and accept tyrannical despotism. Freedom and Tyranny cannot reside in the same space.

May we as a Nation, on this Day of Independence, declare with our Founding Fathers:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People 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 effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these States; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present President of the United States is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.

May we remember our sacred duty which we owe not only to ourselves, our families and our Country, but to our God, the author of our Freedom, and may we ever remain a Nation United.
