In Nazi Germany, they picked several classifications of people by, religion, and disabilities amongst others. They erased them from their society. They would have a pure, super-race that would defend the government regardless of policy. Those able to choose life over death would just ‘follow orders,’ even if it meant sacrificing any ethical standards employed as the very fabric of their existence,
The United States is in the process of picking out people, and they are being profiled in some cases with a permanent record as a dissident but, in actuality peaceably assembling according to the rights afforded in the Constitution of the United States. They are brave people testing the written word of this country set by, the Founding Fathers.
The United States is at war with itself. The U.S.A. is at war with the very principles of the Constitution that supposedly bind them. Local jurisdictions are breaking up peaceful assemblies of protest all across the country. The authorities are arresting people for peaceably assembling on the streets to file their grievances about the government, and its’ refusal to perform as it should.
They begin peacefully but, local enforcers arrive with all kinds of weapons to disperse the crowds. Then, it begins to appear as something it isn’t. They stir up the crowd, tell them it is no longer peaceful, and begin arresting people. What motivates local authorities? One four letter word; Fear.
So, I ask: How is it, we send our children to school to learn these very principles while in practice these same principles are literally being violated? Are we telling outright lies to our children? ‘Looks good on paper, just don’t actually exercise your rights within the Constitution because there are consequences in real life.’ Do we teach them an allegiance based on false principle?
When I was in grade school, we were taught that we stood alone as a pillar of freedom for the entire planet. As I look back, I wonder what they taught, and what they are teaching the kids in England, Australia, and Canada to name only three of several other ‘free’ societies.
We have had a certain ‘elitism’ about our freedom, and people of other countries at our doorstep with a desire for the same freedoms spelled out in our Constitution. Are they now seeing us differently as videos of our reality are digitally displayed for the planet? Are they laughing at us?
My son who is, a college student understands the principles but, also has a lot of common sense. He realizes you must always be aware. The best of intentions may only, in reality be, just intentions not to be practiced without consequence.
Those in law enforcement choosing their paychecks over unemployment are just following orders. Many of them have families. They are just following orders. Sound familiar?
Those who uphold the status-quo miss the point, altogether. Right now, they are naming a chosen group as dissidents but, what if, tomorrow the status-quo become the hunted. The hunter may be somebody who is ‘just following orders.’
Core principles have been shattered in the United States. Too many interpretations of those principles. No interpretations necessary as those principles were well written, succinct, absolutely without question to the point. Read the Constitution verbatim.
The Founding Fathers of this country would be so proud of the ‘Occupiers’ for exercising their rights under the Constitution to peaceably assemble in protest , and conversely so ashamed of our CONgress’ inability to act on anybody’s behalf, save 1%.
..Of the people, for the people by, the people……Let me interpret…..Of 1% of the people, for 1% of the people, by, 1% of the people….
