An American Renaissance
The
Obama years will be forever known as the Dark Ages of US history, a
time of political, cultural and economic deterioration. We have yet to
see if they will lead to the fall of the American republic.
In
the Obama years, the lie became not only a campaign strategy or a means
to enact damaging policies, but an institution of government; the
Presidency itself, a lie of monstrous proportions guarded by the
complicit and the willingly ignorant.
In
the Obama years, the Congress finally clearly demonstrated that
although we have elections, there is no longer a government representing
its citizens, but an entity serving itself, operating outside of
Constitutional constraints and unaccountable to the American people for
the benefit of the few at the expense of the many.
In
the Obama years, disseminating either disinformation or no information,
a devoted media helped create the intellectual darkness and vacant
servitude required to carry out the strategy of their leftist Messiah; a
country without any sense of its own history and traditions, where the
low-information voter would slouch towards Obama's imaginary utopia
through a combination of governmental coercion and the hedonist nihilism
of a painless, amusement-sodden, and stress-free America managed by a
nanny-state.
In the Obama
years, we see the resurrection of the economic feudalism of the Dark
Ages, a system dominated by wealthy special interests that inhibit the
upward mobility of the poor and the middle class.
In
the Obama years, like during the Dark Ages, we witness the rise of
Islamic hegemony and violence, the infiltration of the US government by
the Muslim Brotherhood and the promotion of Sharia law in our schools
and judicial system.
Renaissance
literally means rebirth, a celebration of the human spirit and
mankind's potential for growth; a return to the ideals upon which the
United States was founded, that is, a Constitution based on the
Judeo-Christian values of Western civilization. Concomitantly, we should
remember the sacrifices endured by our forebearers and reaffirm our
commitment to preserve our way life as Joseph Story wrote in his 1833
Commentaries on the Constitution:
"Let
the American youth never forget, that they possess a noble inheritance,
bought by the toils, and sufferings, and blood of their ancestors; and
capacity, if wisely improved, and faithfully guarded, of transmitting to
their latest posterity all the substantial blessings of life, the
peaceful enjoyment of liberty, property, religion, and independence."
The framework of an American Renaissance is a restoration of the Constitution, in particular, 10th Amendment, which states:
"The
powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively,
or to the people."
It is
clear that members of Congress have largely not adhered to their oath to
support and defend the Constitution. The solution, however, is not
simply trying to elect more "good" people, who eventually get coopted or
crushed by the system, but to create circumstances or incentives that
oblige bad people to do the right thing.
The
starting point should be limiting Congressional terms to a total of 12
years either in the House of Representatives or in the Senate or a
combination thereof and abolishing all special benefits for members of
Congress and government officials beyond those available to ordinary
citizens.
Free enterprise is
the most efficient system for the production of goods and services ever
devised. Government is not. Federal taxation and regulations must be
reduced to an absolute minimum to unleash the creative forces of the
free market to power economic growth and increase jobs.
To
increase growth and employment, it is essential to reduce the size of
government by enacting, with the exception of defense, a yearly
across-the-board 5% reduction in federal funding with the immediate
elimination of the Departments of Homeland Security, Energy, Education
and the Environmental Protection Agency.
The
establishment of a simplified flat tax system for individuals and
businesses would obviate the need for the Internal Revenue Service,
removing its use as a political weapon and severely limiting the
corrupting influence of lobbyists.
Other
measures include: securing our borders and firm enforcement of current
immigration laws; strictly applying Equal Opportunity against the
discriminatory practices of affirmative action and diversity policies;
declaring Sharia incompatible with the U.S. Constitution and making its
public implementation in any form illegal; declaring English the one and
only official language of the United States; rejecting political
correctness and multiculturalism as an infringement of the rights
guaranteed under the First Amendment and contrary to the American
principle of E pluribus Unum.
An
American Renaissance cannot be achieved, however, if we do not, as a
country, speak the truth and recognize how far we have strayed from the
Constitution, representative government and fiscal sanity.
Succinctly,
we have a hopelessly corrupt political-media culture, which made
possible a fraudulent and destructive Obama Administration.
Barack
Obama came to office inexperienced, but armed with a dangerously
subversive anti-American agenda designed to undermine the Constitution
and the uniqueness and sacredness of the individual, where, through the
exercise of his or her reason, one can discern the means necessary to
secure life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, unmediated by mullahs
or government bureaucrats.
Unless
we undertake a thorough exposition of who Obama really is, what is his
background and true agenda, what forces made his unprecedented rise to
power possible and who has conspired to hide the truth, an American
Renaissance will not be forthcoming.
We are in a
new Dark Age.
In such situations, the record of history is unequivocal; either we
produce a Renaissance, that is, a rebirth of the fundamental principles
upon which America was founded or our republic dies.
