abuses and usurpations

“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”

I listen to a local radio talk show host, who I do not always agree with though he is a libertarian, who tells me that we should not resort to those measures of our founders until we are unable to speak freely… is this the correct mode of thought? Not if, but when our liberties have been totally eroded will we still be able to throw off the chains of despotism? Will our children? Is it fair that we as a generation screw up what so many have sacrifices so much for, and leave the burden of blood to our children?

I fear that our nation is lost. I fear that we are on the edge of a precipice, and any further our fall will be so great we will never recover. How much is enough? When do we no longer take the abuses and usurpations of our employees, our representatives, our government?

We just gave AIG, as you all know, an additional $35 Billion dollars. This takes their plunder of American tax payers to over $100 Billion dollars. The stock market is still correcting, this will be viewed by those on the hill as another “economic catastrophe” requiring another bail out package. Do we believe we can fight this one off? Add to this that neither presidential candidate has a clue about our economy or the cause of our situation.

I do not have the answers to many of the above questions. I struggle with the realities that we face, as I’m sure many of you do. I know not the appropriate course for correction, but I know that we must correct this situation and we must do it soon. Our nation is borrowing more and more money, printing money that is backed by nothing. Our representatives on the hill learn not from history, and are scurrying down the path of repetition.

If we allow this to continue we will have a further devalued dollar, our debt will rival our GDP and the United States of America will be owned by foreign governments and entities more than it is now. Please do not sit idly by and allow this to happen on our watch. Do not vote for the lesser of two evils, as I have done for decades. If all of the people who are not happy with either candidate would not vote for either candidate there would be a message so loud the world would hear it. Let them know we are not happy! If we can not elect a good independent candidate, vote for your mom, your sister, anyone but the two on the ticket.
May God help us once again save this great nation from tyranny.
