Americans Are Embracing the Tyranny Our Founders Fought to Reject (Video)
Thomas Jefferson once wrote, “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was, and what never will be.”

By the time today’s youth graduate from high school, the majority of them have spent their lives in a public school system fed by an agenda set forth by the Department of Indoctrination in Washington DC. That very agenda, that comes from the nation’s capital, has conveniently determined that teaching the U.S Constitution and our rights as U.S. citizens is now “optional!” Somewhat convenient coming from the same place that is gradually taking the rights guaranteed to We the People, and giving themselves in the federal government more power, don’t you think?
In addition to not knowing their own nation’s history, today’s youth are taught a revised version of history (by youth I mean anyone under 35), one which is “sensitive to everyone’s feelings,” but much of which is patently FALSE! During their prime developmental years, instead of learning the truth, kids are shielded from many of history’s horrors in order to protect any “delicate sensibilities” they may have. The lack of knowledge obtained that is instead replaced with liberal ideology is nauseating, as is the current state of the country. Our current situation is a total disgrace to every American that has ever come before us, most of all to every American that has ever fought and bled for the rights this generation is throwing away out pure ignorance.
Not because of stupidity, but because people are never taught actual HISTORY, they have been duped into believing the lie that if they give up a little freedom, they can have more security. Benjamin Franklin once said, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” He was right. The following video is a speech given by Ronald Reagan 55 years ago, but he might as well be speaking today. In it, he says:
“In 1927, Norman Thomas, six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America said, ‘The American people would never vote for Socialism, but under the name of liberalism, the American people will adopt every fragment of the socialist program.’
There are many ways in which our government has invaded the precincts of private citizens, and their method of earning a living, but right now I’d like to talk about another way, because right now it’s with us, and more imminent.
One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. The reason being, it’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a ‘humanitarian project.’ Most people are a little reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for those who cannot afford it.”
SOUND FAMILIAR?

At some point, Americans are going to realize that the utopia that liberals like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton talk about, using Communist buzzwords like, “social justice,” or “fair,” or “economic justice,” are just that: Communist buzzwords. They are the buzzwords of a failed ideology, one that has never worked anywhere in history, and the last century alone took close to 100 million human lives. In the post titled, Obama Ushers In Armageddon to America, you can read the 45 Goals of the Soviet Union that were listed and laid out in the late 1950’s as a means to DESTROY the United States. They were published in a book called, “The Naked Communist,” written by Cleon Skousen.
Let’s make something clear before you read the list: The list was the Soviet’s bullet point version of would it would take to DEFEAT the United States, so if any of the ideas sound like a swell plan to you, or if any of the 45 goals sounds virtually identical to the liberal stance on things, then STOP and ask yourself why the hell you are supporting ideas that are part of a plan for this nation’s destruction. Bearing in mind what Reagan said about socialized medicine, remember how Obamacare got passed. The architect of Obamacare himself said he was dependent on the “stupidity of the American voter” to believe the utter nonsense that Obama was peddling. Listen to Obama’s mutt for yourself, professor Gruber. It’s YOU he’s talking about, particularly every idiot with an Obama/Biden bumper sticker still on their car.

At the time of this writing, just as it was predicted socialized medicine would, Obamacare is being used as a weapon to disarm and take away the Second Amendment rights of millions of Americans. At the same time, federal overreach has intruded into the lives of ordinary Americans SO badly, that militia members from around the country, with over 100,000 signatures from citizens of all 50 states, and a list of grievances detailing federal abuses, have gathered in a federal refuge in Oregon to protest. There grievances have been ignored, and the Local Sheriff Confirms The Militia is Not Leaving; The Are Ready to Die For Freedom. Remember, it was James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, said “The ultimate authority resides within the people, and if the federal government ever got too powerful and overstepped its authority, then the people were to develop plans of resistance and resort to arms.”
In the video below, Sergeant Dire says:
“Patriots, at this crucial point in our nations history, information and knowledge are key, they mean the different between retaining or losing this republic. Our Founders believed in the potential of this country so greatly, that they gave their lives, and some of them even watched as their children were slaughtered on the battlefield, and others lost everything, and died penniless. They endured greater pains than you or I could ever even fathom, simply so their children and grandchildren could prosper without the wolf of tyranny knocking at their door.
MY COUNTRYMEN… MY BROTHERS… THAT WOLF IS NOW AT OUR DOOR…

234 years they KNEW this could happen, and they spoke openly about it so it wouldn’t, but NOW the mainstream media portrays you as some crazy redneck racist if echo the thoughts of the great men who created this nation…
Thomas Paine, in his book, Rights of Man, wrote:
“The rights of men in society, are neither devisable or transferable, nor annihilable, but are descendable only, and it is not in the power of any generation to intercept finally, and cut off the descent. If the present generation, or any other, are disposed to be slaves, it does not lessen the right of the succeeding generation to be free. Wrongs cannot have a legal descent.”
It is our right, as free men, to cast off these chains which this country places upon us, and when all legal means have been exhausted, we have the right to use force. The very ESSENCE of being an American is deeply rooted in rebellion.
If the words I speak sound treasonous to you, perhaps you need to take a step back, and take another look at this country, and the ideas that served as it’s foundation. Perhaps you need to take a look at history a little more, and stop listening to the mainstream media. Chief Justice William Douglass, the longest serving Supreme Court Justice in this nation’s history said:
“The right to revolt has sources deep within this nation’s history.”
You are not wrong to feel the way you do. You are not a bad person because you feel anger towards the corrupt politicians that have enslaved you through illegal taxation and an unconstitutional legislature. To be prepared to take up arms to defend yourself is to love your country and freedom more than simply being alive. He keeps going…

In George Orwell’s “1984,” not widely viewed by ANYONE as a positive look into the future, Orwell says:
“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history. […] He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.”
Take a look at the video below to see how much the nation has devolved into a cesspool of idiocy. At Yale University, an Ivy League University of all places, students were caught on video by media personality and documentary filmmaker Ami Horowitz signing a petition to repeal the First Amendment. Horowitz collected over 50 signatures from the Ivy League students in under an hour. What does this say about the national debate over free speech and the idea of “safe spaces” on college campuses? Listen to what fools liberal universities all over America are pumping out every spring. They have no concept of this nation’s history, world history, or reality in general. They have no need for any of them in their “safe spaces.”

IT’S TIME FOR THE ADULTS TO TAKE THE COUNTRY BACK!
Mike Maharrey at Activist Post Writes:
The American Founding generation fought a long, bloody war to free themselves from a tyrannical government, only to see the people eventually embrace the very system they struggled to throw off.
That may seem like a stinging indictment, but careful examination of U.S. governance today reveals that it rests on essentially the same philosophical foundation as the 18th century British system Americans rejected.
The founding generation developed a brand new conception of government, resting it on the consent of the governed and the idea that governing institutions must operate within constitutional constraints. Today, we still see the vestiges of those founding ideals in political rhetoric and popular conscience, but the U.S. government long ago threw off constitutional fetters and now functions much like the English system Americans fought to free themselves from.
In Rights of Man, Thomas Paine captured the essence of American constitutionalism that evolved during the Revolution, characterizing the Pennsylvania constitution as “a political bible.”
“Nothing was more common when any debate rose on the principles of a bill, or on the extent of any species of authority, then for members to take the printed Constitution out of their pocket, and read the chapter with which such matter in debate was connected.”
In America, law was king and constitutions stood as the supreme law of the land.
It wasn’t that the British system lacked a constitution, but the English conception of its place in the political order was vastly different than the one that evolved in the American states.
In American thought, constitutions remained above governments. They limited the action of every governmental branch, and political systems were subject to words of their constitutions. In short, constitutions stood as the supreme law of the land, and the entire system of government flowed out of them.
The Supremacy Clause in the U.S. Constitution captures the essence of American constitutional thought.
“This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding.” [Emphasis added]
In the English conception, the constitution was not a superior law set above the government. In a sense it was the government. The actions of Parliament, the courts and the King formed the substance of the constitution and were in no way limited by it.
In the British system, the people were not sovereign – Parliament was. In essence, the government itself enjoyed supremacy. As historian Gordon S. Wood put it in the Creation of the American Republic, any limits on Parliament were strictly theoretical – even moral and natural law restrictions. Constitutional and legal limits only bound lawmakers as far as lawmakers were willing to be bound.
For the Englishman, there was no distinction between the “constitution or frame of government” and the “system of laws.” They were the same. Every act of Parliament was, in essence, part of the constitution. Wood quotes Blackstone to make this point.
“The English constitution therefore could not be any sort of fundamental law. Most eighteenth-century writers…could not conceive of the constitution as anything anterior and superior to the government and ordinary law, but rather regarded itself, as ‘that assemblage of laws, customs and institutions which form the general system; according to which the several powers of the state are distributed, and their respective rights are secured to the different members of the community.’ The English constitution was not, as the Americans eventually came to see with condescension, committed to parchment.” [Emphasis original]
Wood makes the implications of this system crystal clear, writing, “All law customary and statutory was thus constitutional.”
In a nutshell, the 18th century British system the Americans went to war to free themselves from rested on a living, breathing constitution. The government itself defined and enforced whatever limits it might have. Essentially, it was unlimited in power and authority.
As American political thought evolved, the English systems became absurd. Political power was conceived as limited, first by principle, and second by the will of the people as expressed through written constitutions.
The founding generation believed equity – justice according to natural law or right – bound and limited all political power. Government served a limited purpose, as Thomas Jefferson put it in the Declaration of Independence, “to secure these rights,” life, liberty and property. It followed that the people establishing government retained the right and authority to maintain it within those limits. Government was not supreme; it was merely an agent of the people. Written constitutions served a limiting purpose. They provide the “political bible” Paine referred to, specifically circumscribing the scope of governmental power. As Paine put it:
A constitution is not the act of a government, but of a people constituting a government; and government without a constitution, is power without a right.”
Within this philosophical framework, a sovereign government institution such as Parliament is fundamentally tyrannical.
Even a casual look at American governance today reveals a system having much more in common with the 18th century British model than the one the founding generation forged nearly 250 years ago. America operates under a “living breathing” constitution with the U.S. Supreme Court taking on the role of sovereign.
In 1776, the British Parliament acted with absolute sovereign authority. Today, the federal government rules with that same kind of unlimited power. The federal government determines the extent of its own authority through the Supreme Court. Any limits on Congress or the president are merely theoretical, constrained only by the whims of five out of nine politically connected lawyers. Every opinion of the Supreme Court becomes “part of the fabric of the Constitution.”
For all practical purposes, the federal government today operates without any limits at all. Everything the federal government does and approves is considered “constitutional.”
Even though the founders committed the U.S. Constitution to parchment, judges, politicians and academics have morphed the meaning of words and changed the character of the “supreme law of the land” into something that the framers and ratifiers would scarcely recognize.
Americans won the Revolution, but they squandered the fruits of victory in a quest for government solutions to every problem. Instead of a limited government committed to protecting basic rights – life liberty and property – we have an institution that attempts to control every aspect of our lives.

While men slept and enemy sowed seeds of unbelief and ignorance in the vary institutions that were founded with Christianity.
Matt 13:24-30
24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
KJV
You are saying crap and propping it up with some written history.
What is not accurate is the headline.
What are you doing?
We don’t know what sheep do.
I’m not a sheep that operates on fear alone.
Do you think sheep think to fight for what’s right?
Sheep are not considered human beings.
It doesn’t matter if they run off a cliff.
Humans don’t behave like that and if they do they get help or they perish.
So your headline should say
Some stupid sheeple running on their programming and not
human consciousness
are following said sheeple over a cliff and will not like the outcome again.
Suck on that

Apparently, you didn’t read it. So sad. This was about you and your right’s to choose and make decisions based on your life, your childrens lives, and your well being based on your own circumstances. You make this articles point…you don’t think your functional enough to make a decision for yourself. More then so sad, tragic.
well good luck undermining democracy and changing it into a Christian Caliphate
Nicely, informed perspective. Give’s one pause to think and see objectively how much in their own lively hoods they have actually been lead down the primrose path and diverted from accessing a balanced view. Thanks for giving us something to contemplate via this article. I encourage anyone who wants to see how history can be and has been manipulated to support agenda’s and not necessarily the event’s of the time give this a fair read.
