Forget left/right, conservative/liberal, Democrat/Republican – THINK AMERICAN

 By Ed Lewis

People get so hung up on labels that it is distracting and non-functional.  After all, what was once liberal is now conservative and what was conservative is now liberal.  And being left or right depends on one’s location on a continuum – as subjective a label as can be had.

In regards to Demokrats and Republikrats – can anyone really tell the difference when the result is the same – loss of freedom for the people?  No, that isn’t right - not loss of freedom because inherent rights remain no matter what - it is forced compliance by armed marauders against liberty, followed up by black-robed traitors that causes it to appear as loss of freedom.

It is irrefutable that every level of government is filled with traitorous elected/appointed officials, not one of which obeys his oath 100 percent and does his job.  All seek only to act out the part of little Hitlers that have absolute control over the people.  Of course, the truth is they have none – except what the people allow.  And, there is the kink in the armor of liberty. 

But, with our people being as passive as sheep waiting to get hit in the head and butchered, these treasonous dastardly persons get by with it.

We value freedom in this country.  I know this is so because so many writers say it is so.  Other countries talk about freedom and many people actually migrate to this country for “freedom”. 

But, do we value freedom in fact – or is it just what we are taught we believe when in fact we haven’t any more freedom that any other of the oppressed people on Earth?

People talk about leaders of other countries who kill people wantonly and without recourse against them.  But doesn’t that happen in this country, too?

People also talk about leaders who incarcerate people without fair trials and the like.  But doesn’t that also happen in this country? 

Doesn’t it in fact happen far more often here than any other country you can name?  Refute if you can, but right now there are millions of innocent people incarcerated for “crimes against the State” – and this doesn’t count “crimes against the municipal governments” – cities and counties.

For example, people are jailed for not wearing seat belts, having expired tags, having an expired driver’s license, and sometimes just for looking at a law enforcer as if he is dumb as a box of rocks.

Here’s the thing.  It doesn’t matter if the law enforcers and judges are liberal/conservative, or Demokrats/ Republikrats.  All that matters is whether they ACT AS AMERICANS showing their belief in the philosophies this country was found on, and then show support of human freedom by upholding and defending our inherent rights as flesh and blood people. 

After all – what is an American?  Isn’t it people who whether Christian or not believe in “live and let live”?  Aren’t we a people who believe we should be left to ourselves with our property held as being sacred – meaning no other may infringe upon it or our rights?

Aren’t Americans people who believe in the truth – that lies are the work of the Devil or something else for non-Christians, non-Muslims, and so on?  Don’t we value integrity in our dealings between ourselves and others above all else?

This is a sprinkling of the values once held dear by the American people.  For myself – on the many occasions in which I have considered this concept (nearly daily at this time) – my belief boils down to the fact that I should have sole control over my property and myself.  No government can tell me what to do with my person or my property if my liberty is to be liberty in fact, not just rhetoric or a statement in some miswritten history book.

You can think as you wish – for now that is acceptable.  But, watch out for the “thought police” in the near future.  I maintain that those who commit treason continually are not “Americans” other than geographically.  Philosophically they are anything but “American.”

This includes all those devils in disguise filling the – can we really call Washington the capitol of this country – ten squares miles housing the most corrupt and dangerous corporation to ever exist; a syndicate designed only for racketeering practices that steals from Americans daily – if not in taking their play money, then rights.  Or both.  Along with their dignity and sense of self-worth.

As my nephew would say – repeatedly, I might add – “think about this.”  Either we are American with all the connotations touted for generations, or we are un-American.  There is no gray shading just as there is no shading between right and wrong.  All the other labels are just garbage to confound.  Or cause other people to think some writer/speaker is quite knowledgeable, very intimidating, or that they have a firm handle on the poltico/military/industrial complex.  Or some other crap that serves no good and useful purpose except to misdirect thinking.

For myself, though, I believe I will THINK AMERICAN in every sense that it appears our ancestors wanted – the free will of man preserved – and that all those despicable elected/appointed officials are not American in thought or practice.  They are agents of a foreign and unknown enemy of America bent on destroying the very foundations this country was built on.

Therefore, they should be expelled from our land – forcibly if necessary – and, if not expelled, put where they can do no more harm to the millions of us who are American in thought and action.
