Imagine !

One of my wife’s favorite songs is John Lennon’s “Imagine”. I too like the song even if it is misguided and utopian. That may be Mr. Lennon’s idea of a perfect world but it is not mine. We all have a picture in our head of what the world should look like. The vast majority of us will never have the power, money or influence to implement our vision of the ideal society. In fact, if you really think about it, there is only one institution capable of implementing its will upon people’s everyday life.


Many will tell you that religion has caused most of the problems throughout history. Some other s will say that militaries have been the root of all evil. I would submit to you that the greatest source of pain, suffering and misery throughout the history of mankind has been tyrannical government. Religious fanaticism or runaway militarism cannot sustain itself without money, organization and political support.


Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. This truth cannot be denied. Our wise forefathers understood this perfectly. They created a Republic with a small and weak Federal government full of checks and balances and restricted by a Constitution. If followed as designed, our country would allow the maximum amount of individual Liberty ever known to an organized civilization.


We all have a vision of a perfect world and it is nice to dream. Human nature will never allow us to live in perfect harmony so we must settle on the next best thing. If we are all allowed to live our lives without restraints and the only limitation is that we do not interfere with another’s pursuit of happiness, I think we have come as close to perfection as we can on this imperfect Earth.


That is what is written into the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Unfortunately, what we are witnessing now is a bloodless unopposed Socialist revolution. It is occurring right in front of your eyes. The hypnotic rhetoric and the media propaganda have anesthetized a large portion of the population. The sad reality is that this system has been tried over and over again throughout recent history and has failed miserably each and every time and most do not know their history or simply are not paying attention.


Many of us saw this coming and tried to warn the rest. We were called many names and are still defamed. The man that holds the highest office in the land does not hold dear what many of us are willing to sacrifice even our very lives for. He is ramming a Leftist coup d’état through a super majority Congress in lightening fast speed so that he can bypass the will and input of the owner’s of the country. The Constitution is held in contempt and seen as an obstacle to him and his conspirators. The Republicans are not much better than the Democrats, much like two mafia families that divide up their territories and only fight in public when their boundaries have been violated.


What can the average citizen do to return this country to its founding principles? Learn you rights. Read the Constitution. Think long and hard what it means to be an American. Go back to the beginning and realize that you are Free and that by law, your government cannot control you. Vote out your Congressmen and Senators just for the hell of it and to send a message to Washington that you understand who the boss is. If you need an example of the type of person to vote for, please watch the video above and “Imagine”, imagine 535 representatives with Allen West’s commitment to your Freedom and the idea that you own the country and not the politicians.
