HAPPY 4th of JULY!...
A MESSAGE FROM JOSEPH FARAH:
The sad truth is the American dream of independence has been
betrayed. Americans are worse off today, in terms of individual freedom,
than they were before the War of Independence. In fact, take a look at
the dictionary definition of “colony” and see if it doesn’t apply to us
today.
colony: 1) a group of people who settle in a distant land but
remain under the political jurisdiction of their native land 2) a
territory distant from the state having jurisdiction or control over it
Aren’t Americans, in a sense, all colonists of the great imperial
throne in the District of Columbia? We all pay tribute to this faraway
empire. We are, in reality, little more than serfs doing the bidding of
those in the federal corridors of power in Washington. We’re taxed
without real representation. We’re forced to support a growing standing
army of federal police in our communities. And we face a growing threat
of disarmament – one of the great fears of the colonists who touched off
the American Revolution at Lexington and Concord.
What do you think?
Are we better off today than our forefathers were in 1776?
Are we living freer lives today than were the founders?
If George Washington and Thomas Jefferson could return today to see
America – the tax rates, the overreaching central government, the
subservience of states to Washington, the non-limitations on the federal
government – would they consider us free? Would they consider us
independent?
Is American sovereignty and independence still worth a fight?
