Bigger Government = Less Privacy

Arguably our most famous founding father, Benjamen Franklin passionately declared, "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." Currently, these words come across loud and clear as we sacrifice liberty in the name of safety [hand-in hand with computer technology] the more exposed our citizenry is sacrificing its Fourth Amendment rights.

Franklin's testimony about liberty vs. security is just as relevant now as it was first orated in 1775. As our Founding Fathers fought against the tyranny of British monarchists, our current Constitutionalists use their First Amendment rights against out of control government. These freedom fighters are standing up against the DC insiders, who resemble oligarchs, pretending to duke it out under the guise of the Democratic and Republican Parties. I simply refer to most of these sheep as "modern day progressives."

Give Up Liberty to Gain Security

Beltway insiders are surrendering every one's liberties in order to create "safety." So, where is this so called "safety zone?" Is playing the role of "big brother" really helping our citizenship to stay secured?

The answer is not just a plain no, but a "HELL NO!" To demolish the Fourth Amendment,["The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."]and strike it out with a permanent black marker, politicians and lobbyists create a post-constitutional society which strips citizens of this inalienable right.. By creating an enormous mega government, inhabitants of the United States gives up its once taken for granted right to be left alone.

Will Deserve Neither And Lose Both

I am fully convinced that America is proceeding to more dangerous turf as legislation is piled up, one on top of another. As I comment about how our Fourth Amendment rights to avoid unreasonable searches and seizures are being brought to light, it is becoming more evident that with every statist advocating to increase the size of government, a few more federal departments are added while computer technology is used to track citizen data, directly or indirectly.

Legislative tyranny is self evident every time a lobbyist, big or small, pulls the perpetual wool over the television addicted masses. While many more individuals are now taking on the Jeffersonian model of proactively educating themselves in civics and history, the vast majority of unstudied citizens do not understand the role that a few corrupt self interest/corporate lobbyists are trumping the original intent of the United State's Constitution... legislation in the name of "We the people, not special interests!"

Franklin's wisdom about the subject of liberty and security is just as relevant in this twenty first century digital age as it was during the age of the colonial printing presses. Asides from corrupt lobbyists benefiting by creating "safety minded" legislation, we the people are lied to by the ever expanding government to the point of surrendering our god given Fourth Amendment rights by the punch of a few computer keystrokes.

Government Money + Newspaper Industry = No More Free Press

With the swift moving Keynesian influenced president named Barack Obama, it appears as though the newspaper industry will soon dispatch its payroll towards the land of government sponsored handouts. By applying for those temporary remedies, this struggling industry potentially sets itself up with corrupt money as an exchange for editorial manipulation.

Me and well as many others are very strongly dead set against the idea of bailing out any sector or any micro-sector of the economy. We feel violated because the responsibility of self-reliance endorsed by Benjamen Franklin is vetoed by allowing the idea of "theft" to be funded by the people.

Yes sir... the macro-economy has been lately headed down the collective crap hole. Yes sir... the print industry has not fared an iota better than any other financial sector. Unlike any other division in our micro-economy, an entitlement program could potentially set a very extremely dangerous precedence in the media industry.

Amidst the cold days and nights of the authoritarian Soviet Empire, fearful journalists were required to dutifully dispatch their articles in a government approved blueprint. Harsh punishments were administered to those so called dissidents, because they did not follow the draconian government protocol.

Flash forward to almost any modern day American newspaper. This hard pressed industry has not only covered the current global financial downward spiral, but are also feeling its blood oozing in painful real time. The Detroit Free Press has reduced itself to a part-time, three day a week publication. Meanwhile, the New York Times has to use their new state of the art headquarters as collateral against a loan, while the Chicago Tribune is hemoraging green even after making a recent format change.

Despite the fact that the rapidly descending newspaper industry proclaims that it needs to extend their heavily ink smudged fingers towards government entitlements, their editors ought to take a moral stance by proclaiming, You take a bailout, and I resign! By allowing newspapers or any other private media outlets to accept nanny state handouts, the publication house becomes a servant to the government while losing its most important independence. With this omni-potent government coercion, a free press has become disqualified.

The government must always walk directly away from bailing out any sort of media industry because throwing monetary units at the media industry creates the same burden upon the editor as their Soviet counterparts to the point of manufacturing a franchised version of Pravda.

End The War Economy

Since today has been exclaimed "Constitution Day," lets focus on one of the primary objections proclaimed by our Founding Fathers... a debt ridden imperialistic war economy.

To be more precise, our current debt ridden imperialist society is hampered by the fact that : 1)we allow military contracts to be processed without congressional authorization. 2)Entitlements are passed on to "We the people." 3)As a result of our interventionist foreign policy, we create a flawed economy which includes downgrading our dollar as the private bankers of the Federal Reserve System generate more money out of thin air.

One consequence of many years of various executive and a few congressional orders is that by stationing troops in one hundred and thirty plus countries around this globe, our so called leaders act as agents of global economic collapse. The more U.S. troops that are shipped overseas, the closer the U.S. government might actually be forced to perform the ultimate sellout .... governmental bankruptcy.
