Do Americans Want Freedom?

Are Americans willing to trade their freedoms
for a false sense of security?
This is the crucial question that must be answered before a
successful struggle for liberty can be fought and won. If it
is shown that the majority of Americans will readily trade their
freedoms for a fake carnal security then the cause has already
been lost.
Let us just examine a few of the events of the last two months
to see where America sits on the major issues of our day.
Recently, we were made aware of the attempt to bring down a
transatlantic flight by the 'underwear bomber'. While the facts
remain unclear about the events surrounding the attempted bombing,
what is clear is the attempt to use the event as a catalyst
for further draconian security measures. This includes proposals
for and in some cases imposition of mandatory body scanning
for all passengers. In fact, the Netherlands announced that
they will body scan all passengers as a result of the incident.
In the US, the cry from neo-con Republicans has been to adopt
just such a policy here. In addition, the TSA seized the opportunity
to try to turn the airplane into a virtual prison camp.
What is most troubling about the whole event is the seeming
willingness of Americans to accept the official story without
questioning and to submit themselves to any measure deemed necessary
by our "benevolent" government. Now that President
Obama is in power, the civil liberties fire that once was burning
bright among some on the left has now smoldered, leaving few
to oppose the new liberal/Neo-con fascism.
What evidence do we have that any of these measures will actually
make us safer? Indeed, this supposed terrorist had no passport
and was on the terrorist watch list. While a simple passport
check would have stopped this individual, now the rights of
the rest of us will be sacrificed to a needless bureaucracy,
which will prove to be just as inept. It may be that Americans
will be forced into "clothes-free" airport zones where
government workers will examine every crook, crevice, and orifice
of your body. How long Americans will suffer this indecency
is unknown. What is known is that these measures will not make
us safer.
While the "underwear bomber" event was used to stroke
our fears about external threats, two other recent issues of
much greater significance are meant to play on our fear about
the intrinsic weakness of mankind.
The first revolves around the insecurity all of us have over
the health of our bodies. Some would claim the government can
somehow guarantee you carnal or rather physical security from
your own body. What is true, however, is that we will all decay
and die whether we like it or not. No power on earth can prevent
this from happening. Yet, what has been proposed with the health
care reform measures now before congress and the senate is that
government should become our health stewards by providing universal
healthcare. The implied rationale is that these measures will
somehow address our health security. Unfortunately, the truth
is that these measures will only guarantee you the opportunity
to stand in lines and in most cases will be detrimental to your
health and hence your health security. Services that once could
be readily obtained through the free market system will be removed
in lieu of budgetary restraints. Americans will be turned into
hapless and powerless sheep, begging for any ounce of health
mercy that a faceless bureaucracy will see fit to grant them.
The right to healthcare gained by a few will come at the expense
of the right to healthcare for the rest.
There is no greater example of the fallacy of this socialist
healthcare utopia than the death of the actress Natasha Richardson
in Quebec, Canada last year. She likely died because of the
socialized healthcare system in Canada. The government of Quebec
had decided that medical helicopters were too expensive. As
a result, instead of being transported by helicopter, Natasha
was driven by ambulance to the nearest hospital a couple hours
away. This wasted time was enough to seal her fate.
Despite the ample evidence of the dystopian healthcare provided
by socialized healthcare systems, Americans seem more and more
willing to buy into the media hype about the supposed greatness
of healthcare in Cuba, Canada, and Europe. Never before have
the forces of socialist America been so close to realizing their
dream of converting America into a suburb of western Europe.
The final and most nefarious onslaught on our liberty has arisen
with the attempt to transfer our national sovereignty to a world
government over the issue of carbon emissions. Indeed, our very
breath has been turned into a toxin needing to be regulated
in order to save the planet. The more breaths, the more toxin.
Not surprisingly, this has led to calls for world population
control from some in China, Europe, and Canada.
The fake science used to justify the man-made global warming
agenda was recently revealed as a concoction of climate change
scientists to serve their own self interest. Yet, Americans
continue to believe more in gloss and glamour than in science
and common sense. Unfortunately, the result will be that the
American sense of compassion will be turned on its own head.
The third world will be starved into carbon compliance and American
ingenuity will be turned into funding industrial de-industrialization.
More and more Americans are convincing themselves that they
are vermin and need to be exterminated. They will happily put
GPS carbon trackers on their vehicles, smart carbon-limiting
power meters in the their homes, LCD light-bulbs in their reading
rooms, bikes in their garages, and government camera carbon
monitoring systems in their homes just so that they can be 'cool'
and feel like they are doing something for Al Gore and the movement.
Nobody seems to care about the substance anymore; it is the
image that counts.
What these examples reveal is that America has become more
and more a country filled with cowardly yes-men, rather than
people with courage to stand up for conviction. They have lost
the fire of freedom and substituted the frost of a fake consensus.
Unfortunately, the American ideal has faded in the minds of
many. Many no longer know what they are throwing away. It is
only when it is gone that they will wake up and realize that
the noose is already too tight for escape.
It behooveth those that have been warned to warn their neighbors.
My prayer is that we may have the courage to become active purveyors
of truth.
"When the people find they can vote themselves
money, that will herald the end of the republic."
