The 2012 presidential election was confirmation that the federal government was lost. This is a major distinction that most people do not understand: the country is not the government: the people are the country and our future. Both political parties are to blame as uncontrolled spending has led to an unsustainable debt that has one purpose: to let vain and aspiring men and women stay in power by buying our votes with promises, entitlements and redistribution. The Tea Party phenomenon led to a temporary resurgence of the Republican Party in 2010 but the betrayal of this movement by high level operatives was clearly shown at the Republican convention in Tampa.
People in the mainstream “Liberty” movement were devastated by the Obama reelection. Depression and hopelessness set in as no new meetings were even scheduled. Instead of listening to the wisdom of our forefathers and trying to develop new strategies, it now appears that most people in the Tea Party have come to a rather startling conclusion: they want to take back the Republican Party. Yes, it is time to organize at a precinct level to make the Republican Party become what? A conservative Party? It would be easy to quote Einstein’s famous insanity quote or to remind us about the lessons not learned by history being repeated. The doom portion is now becoming self-evident. It would be easy to remind people of the treatment of Ron Paul’s national delegates by Romney and the Republican Party leadership. It would be easy to point out that the “Prince” who was in charge of the Party that was defeated by the absolute worst president in our history was just reelected. It would be easy….
But what is the point? It is easier to sit back and let the “politicians” fix the problems that they created. Only because it is easier to live as a captive animal and have the government feed you in your cage.
So I ask you: ARE YOU HAPPY? If the answer is no, then you must first recognize that only YOU can make yourself happy by taking control of your destiny. I outlined the first steps in this process in an earlier post. Once you come to terms with your own responsibilities, then you can form a base with a tribe. I know this takes work and sacrifice. I can only tell you that it is worth the effort.
For those who are unwilling to take personal responsibility and are turning back to a failed political system, then once again I will point out the wisdom of our founding fathers:
“If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”
Samuel Adams
For those out there who still want to believe in fairy tales and will put our Liberty in the hands of domestic enemies: MAY YOUR CHAINS REST HEAVILY UPON YOU AND MAY FREEMEN NOT FORGIVE OR FORGET YOUR APATHY. We have an obligation to pay back to our founding fathers and our fathers: I WILL NOT BECOME THE LESSOR SON OF GREATER FATHERS.
David DeGerolamo
