Join the Cause!
The America of our ancestors is slipping away; however, we must understand that victory always goes to those who have planned, prepared and followed through.
Ours may be a government of the people, by the people and for the people, but it will remain our government only in so far as we are willing to do whatever is necessary to keep it in our hands. What is most necessary, and always has been, is to be actively and sincerely engaged in all our political duties as citizens, the most fundamental of those duties being the development of a thorough understanding of why our government is vastly superior to all others. If we are incapable of appreciating the true value of something, then we may thoughtlessly bargain it away in exchange for something of lesser value.
Any free government, including our own, is constantly exposed to various destructive influences. In the maintenance of government, citizens either stay ahead of these damaging forces or their government, by default or neglect, is gradually transformed into something else. Sadly, at the present time it would appear that the forces earnestly engaged in transforming our government into something else are much more dedicated to the task of reconfiguring it than we are to the task of preserving it.
What we lack, and what the forces of destruction have, is an absolute devotion to a cause. They have a goal. They have studied and analyzed ways and means of achieving it. And they never let up. And what’s more, they will succeed if they are not stopped.
But to stop them, we too must become committed to a cause, utterly and unwaveringly committed to it. Our cause must be the noble cause of keeping our government safely in our hands and the hands of our children, where it rightfully belongs and where our Founders intended it to be.
If we wish to succeed, however, we must shape ourselves into a force mightier and more skillful than the one that is marshaled against us. Each of us must gain a full understanding and appreciation of our unique political landscape, and where all the vital points are on that landscape. These crucial points may be discovered in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the various writings of the Founders as well as the political thinkers they drew upon. These documents and writings lay out the strategic strongholds, the high ground and the bulwarks the enemy will need to take in order to subdue us. They already have seized or neutralized many critical positions, and these actions have given them a distinct and powerful advantage. We must educate ourselves so that we may recognize and understand more fully their ruinous plans, so that we may see and anticipate their upcoming blows and strikes, and like good soldiers be positioned to repel them and stop them.
The time for being disengaged and ill-informed is over. Our fight is not the fight to secure for ourselves the so-called good things of life--spacious homes, luxury automobiles and designer clothing. This is the bigger fight. This is the fight to prevent ruthless tyrants, supported by a virtual army of duped and mindless minions, from making slave of us and our posterity.
Remember, any cause devoid of dedicated supporters is a lost cause. Please support the cause of freedom!
If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose that freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that, too.
--Somerset Maugham
