When Do You Give Up?

 Well, here we are...July 3, 2012 and I don't feel like celebrating tomorrow's remembrance of our Declaration of Independence. This past Tuesday the SCOTUS created the Declaration of Dependence. We now must depend on our government for our whole lives. We have allowed the corrupt men and women of the world to usurp our precious Constitution and turn us into a socialist mess.

I wonder when is it time to give up? When is it time to quit fighting? ...and I've come to the conclusion that the time to quit is when you are dead. We still have the right to speak. We still have the right to protest. We still have the right to vote. Will it make a difference? Who knows. All I know is that we have something so special that it's worth fighting for. 

It's not a matter of healthcare. It's not a matter of semantics. It's not a matter of Republican vs. Democrat or Conservative vs. liberal/progressive. It's a matter of a Supreme Court has just said that the Congress can tax people for something they haven't bought or don't want to buy. It's basically saying that if you don't do what the government says is best for you, then you will lose your hard earned money. They can now take your property simply because you live. We now have one third of the government (Supreme Court) giving their power to another third (Congress), and that third has already given most of their power to the final third (President). It equals a dictatorship lead by Barak Obama.

Now they're trying to sell us on the fact that Mitt Romney will save us by getting rid of Obamacare. I ask, "really?" So when we get rid of Obamacare it will be replaced with another government healthcare program, governed by Mitt Romney. Can we all do cartwheels? So what? One dictator becomes another dictator and so on and so forth, and the unlearned citizenry believe they have freedom. However, things given are not free, they are shackles binding you to the one who gives it. We have become a nation of takers, and those of us left who desire to stand and keep our Constitution are so splintered into separate groups that winning will be a daunting task. 

So, I say if we want to keep our country with any semblance of what it was created for we will have to come together and put aside our differences. Otherwise we will be no better than the middle east...switching from one bad leader to another bad leader with no set goal. Our Constitution is the greatest human document ever created. It gives people the individual freedom to rise or fall on their own terms; it does not promise equal outcome only equal opportunity and that is life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We should be happy for those who do well and strive to do as well, but to be happy where we are because all the wealth in the world, all the possession, all the "free" stuff means nothing without freedom and without the pride of earning it yourself.

If you're TEA (Taxed Enough Already) it's time to stand. It's time to resist. Fight the good fight of faith and of country. May God bless you and keep you. Happy 4th of July to those who are celebrating. Remember what it was about and decide are you with our founding fathers or are you with the "King"?
