My Fellow American Patriot:

 

With regard to the following line which I received in a very moving email from a dear Conservative friend:

 

"Although the old guard is dying off, and getting too tired to fight, they have to muster one more charge. If they don’t, our children, and grandchildren, will never know the joy and freedom that is the bedrock of our country. The heat is slowly being turned up and the water is getting hot. The old frogs better start jumping before it’s too late."

 

I will know that I am dead the day I stop fighting for my Country in every and any way I can. This is my Pledge as an American and a Patriot - before God and man:

 

"So long as there is a breath left in me
I will fight for the America that I know and Love in every way I can. 
I will never surrender and will fall back only to regroup,
resupply and press forward again to Victory."

 

There are millions of us Patriots (as I know you are) here in America. We just need to talk to one another, get organized and "press forward" with total resolve - and WE WILL WIN THE DAY for our children and our grandchildren. Of this I am certain!

 

Maybe we need to Go Public by signing our names to this Pledge. It might just as well start right here.

I will step up and be the first one to sign The Pledge written below the dotted line.  If you think this is a worthy gesture, please join me in signing it and pass it on.

 

God Bless you and yours.

God Save America.

Marx was a reaction to Freud. Not in a historical sense, for Marx died before Freud established his theory and method of psychoanalysis. But  in the sense that the ideas which Marx set forth were a externalized reactionary response to the problems within his own psyche, as set forth by Freud. Unable or unwilling to confront and resolve his own internal turmoil, Marx projected his own internal turmoil and confilct onto society and humanity. 

Marx was wrong. The Battle is not between "social classes" as Marx set forth. This idea is nothing but a feeble attempt to deny the individual. Nor is the battle between those who have and those who have not. The Battle is between the Individual and the Social. Democracy/Capitalism and Communism are but two instances in history, where these two monumental forces - the individual and the social - have intersected and clashed with one another. In American Democracy/Capitalism, the Individual has come out on top. In Communism, the Social has prevailed over the Individual.

Will we survive individually or socially? This is the question that has always been the question. In overpopulated, crowded areas, where individuals could not survive alone - the Social System became supreme. In newly discovered and under populated areas where there was much wilderness and too few individuals to band together to fill it - the individual had to survive alone and Individual Freedom has become the rule. Individuals may willingly serve Socially - but we always evolve Individually. This is why new worlds and new territories are explored and pioneered by Free Individuals - and only later, settled and exploited by Social groups. Free Individuals serve what they find to be of value. Social groups and systems can only exploit or destroy Free Individuals.

Because our country (America) and our world is nearly drowning in over-population of unprecedented proportions - born of our own scientific achievements and Human Compassion - we are being driven ever closer to the brink of "Social Tyranny." Communism - and all other systems that place the Social above the Individual - are forms of Social Tyranny. They do not work. It did not work for the Soviet Union - it will inevitably end in disaster unimaginable wherever it is allowed to happen. For, Social Tyranny will not tolerate any deviance from its rigid rules. Instead, it strangles the Creativity, Genius and all invention based on personal ingenuity and freely chosen Personal Responsibility out of its Individual members and makes them into slaves. Indeed, in its advanced stages the Social Tyranny will not tolerate the idea of an Individuality at all.

The Free Individual is always a deviance and sometimes, a radical deviance, from Social rules by his or her very nature. The Free Individual does not suffer from the repressive tendency of Social System. The Free Individual is usually benign, tolerant, loving and respectful of Individual Freedom in others, diverse and highly Creative and innovative. Virtually all major advances of humanity have been created and initiated by Individuals. From Rama, Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, to Madame Curie and Thomas Edison and yes, even Freud and Marx themselves. The Individual not short on creativity or genius, but is only lacking in the means to deliver the results that its Individual Genius Creates to those greater numbers who do not create. Because of this, for humanity to evolve upward, both Free Individualism and some form of Social Order are, ultimately necessary. But Free Individualism must be in charge.

Whereas Free Individuals will tolerate and even cooperate with one another in a social pact, for the purpose of accomplishing their individual creative endeavors - Social Tyrannies will neither tolerate - indeed, must not tolerate - but only exploit Free Individuals and their Creativity and Genius - as "milk-cows" for the Social Order." This, of course, ultimately destroys the very Creativity and Genius within the Free Individuals which the Social Order seeks to exploit.

Where Nations have been born out of fresh, new expansive, unexplored wilderness - Democracies and Economic systems that exalt the Individual and Individual Freedom to the superior place have arisen as the rule and the Ideal.

Where Nations have been born out of countries that have exploited their individuals and environments mercilessly and, thereby slain the very source of Genius, Creativity, Invention and all other forward and upward moving forces - which is and can be no other than Individual Freedom - Social Tyranny has grown like mold upon a dead body and Social Orders that exalt Social Tyranny have arisen.

We find those of a Free-Individualistic leaning, among those who have taken a painful and frightening leap forward and upward in life - and those who clamor, work, fight and die for the causes of Social Tyranny, among those who have found neither desire or hope of making that painful and frightening leap. This, then is the division, the battle and the dilemma.

The Social Tyranny cannot rule, so long as the Spirit of Individuality and therefore, Maximum Individual Freedom is alive and healthy within the hearts of a People. Only when those individuals who have risen to the top seek to establish a Social Tyranny over the masses - or become so complacent and careless of the Essence of Freedom as to let it die in the streets within the hearts and minds of the People - can the apostles of Social Tyranny gain the upper hand. There is no Freedom outside of Individual Freedom. No amount of double-talk or new-speak or Political Correctness can, or ever will, make it so. The Individual is Freedom - productive of great quality but, alone, only minimally productive of quantity. The Social Order is slavery - well documented in its productivity of quantity lacking in quality. Among a People where Individual Freedom is The Ideal - the Social Tyrant can be harnessed and used by all to the Common Good (instead of being used by it for "the common good") like a huge and powerfully dangerous monster held in massive chains. But, where a People forget or become careless of Individual Freedoms, in favor of taking gifts from the monster of Social Tyranny - they unleash the monster from its chains. Once unchained, it is only a sparse matter of time, before the Monster of Social Tyranny becomes, first their source, second their necessity and third and finally - their Master.

I write these words to alert all thinking individuals who love and treasure Individual Freedom for themselves and for the generations who will come after them. Heed my humble words, Lover of Freedom, for even now, The Monster is on the loose!

The Free Individual is independent from the Social. Only a Free Individual can truly Cooperate! All else is but compliance, obedience or slavery dressed in the "sheep’s clothing" of Cooperation. The Individual can - though seldom chooses to - exist and survive apart from the group. But Social Force cannot exist without the individual. Social Force is wholly and totally dependent upon individuals for survival. Which should rule the other, the independent or the dependent? For evolution and progress - it must be Free Individuals working together, voluntarily, for the Common Good - not individuals conscripted by Social Force and Tyranny to the service of the Common Good. For Social Tyranny to rule (always in the guise of Social Good) Individual Freedom must and will be destroyed.

The American Democratic System of Government arose out of a unique time in a sparsely populated wilderness where Individuality was not only expedient - but essential - for survival and Individual Freedom was the only rule. This form of Government was not created by the edicts of Kings or Dictators, but was forged by some of the Greatest and most radical Free Individuals of all times. It is for this reasons that American Democracy is unique and wondrous in the world in both its Ideal and Assurance of Individual Freedom. No other system of Government has so successfully harnessed the Monster of Social Tyranny and placed the reins in the hands of its Free Individual Citizens as have the radical Individualists who founded the American System of Democracy. It is precisely because the American System of Democracy is so firmly rooted in the Ideal and Practice of Individual Freedom that its workings are so chaotic and often inefficient. Still, a chaotic and inefficient Freedom is better than a well ordered and efficient Tyranny.

Well harnessed or not, the Monster of Social Tyranny is always ready and willing to try and convince those who have little or care little that "If you cut me loose, I will take care of you." This is the reason that Marxists are so fond of asking, "What good is Freedom if you have no food to eat?" The other side of that question, the side that is never spoken but which history bears out so clearly is: "Give me your Freedom and I will give you some food - for now. Then, later on, when you have given us The Power over you that we seek - you and your children will live and likely, starve in slavery."

My way is the Way of Individual Freedom with Individual Responsibility. When enough people in an area or a Nation become Free Individuals - or even embrace the Ideal of Individual Freedom and Individual Responsibility - Social Tyranny dies and Freedom and Liberty for all grows and prospers in direct proportion to the Individual Freedom and Individual Responsibility and Ideal of Individual Freedom and Individual Responsibility within that Nation's individuals. I am not out to create yet another Social Tyranny (even be it in the name of "religion"), but to set each individual free. Yes I have and I teach a definite way of life that includes definite Principles, methods, techniques and ways of doing things. But I insist that each person who joins me in this way of life must do so as a Free Individual, of his or her own Free Will, by having examined me and what I have to offer and made a conscious decision to adopt my way of life as his or her own. Furthermore, I insist that this decision must not be a Final Decision that precludes all future decisions. For Final Decisions that preclude all future decisions are, truly, the very glue that holds all Social Tyranny together. My goal is to build a World-wide Movement for Individual Freedom that will - when ultimately successful - liberate the People and put the Monster of Social Tyranny in a well hewn harness from which it cannot easily escape and harness it to the Common Good in the service of Free Individuals in a Free World.

The American Revolution was not fought and won. The American Revolution with it's American Democratic System of  Government, is a never-ending Revolution that must be fought anew every day by every Freedom Loving man and woman.

The Real Revolution is keeping American Democracy and its Ideal of Individual Freedom alive in the Hearts and Minds of The People.

Eternal Vigilance is, truly, the price of Freedom.

God Bless you.
God Save America.

Stand Up For America and Freedom

Henry David Thoreau once said, "Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison."

It seems that, these days, good men are being persecuted for nothing more than expressing themselves according to their God-given Right to Free Speech. Therefore, I am going to put my head in the lion's mouth - so to speak - once again for the sake of America and Freedom.

What, I ask you, is the meaning or worth of Freedom if a man is not free to exercise it? How much more is this true if a man cannot exercise his freedom to have and express an opinion? Especially, in his private conversations with his own family.

To quote one of my main heroes, President Ronald Reagan, "Now there you go again..."
  
Today, another white man is being pilloried (publicly humiliated and deprived of his Rights) because he has an unpopular opinion or means of expressing his opinion. I emphasize "white" man, because I have not seen one case where the Civil Rights Tyrants have called for the firing of a black man who uses the "N-word."

The most current victim of the New Thought Police, is bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman. And once again, a white man is being crucified for the unforgivable sin of using the "forbidden" word. The so-called "N-word," that is used lavishly by black men and women in almost all walks of life on a daily basis.

This time Mr. Chapman used the unforgivable (to hear Sharpton and others tell it) N-Word in a PRIVATE CONVERSATION with his own son. And, for this unpardonable "sin" Mr. Chapman has become the target of the so-called "Civil Rights" tyrants; who, in fact, only care about "civil rights" as defined by them and as it applies to THEM.

Further, though Mr. Chapman insists that he is NOT a "racist" (and who could know better than he?), Mr. Chapman is being accused of being a "racist" for his daring to exercise his First Amendment Right to speak his mind in any way he sees fit - including using the infamous N-Word. 

I know it doesn't matter to the Civil Rights mob that I marched in the Civil Rights Marches and defended the equality of all people to equal treatment under the law to my own detriment. Despite my sacrifices, these Civil Rights Tyrants will accuse me of also being a "racist" for daring to stand up for Mr. Chapman's God-Given Right to speak his mind in ANY way he chooses, that Big Al (Sharpton, that is) doesn't approve of.

The "crime" of "racism" of which Mr. Chapman is accused, is not a crime at all. Remember? Do you remember? Can you remember? Back, before the liberal media and the so-called "Civil Rights-for-Me-and-My-Kind-Only" tyrants took over the Right to determine what any man says - in his private conversations. Way back when FREE Speech was truly Free. 

In a Free Country, a man must have the Right to hold a racist opinion.  The Free expression of Racist opinion may be distasteful and even downright obnoxious. But I stand up and stand firm for every man's RIGHT to be distasteful and obnoxious. And every Freedom loving man or woman must do so - or lose Freedom in the bargain. That, is the sole point of this article.

Racism is "one man's opinion." Racism is pandemic among all races. Racism cannot be "outlawed" for one race, unless it is outlawed for all races. Which, is impossible if we are to maintain a Free Society.

But calling for a lynching is another thing. And inciting a mob to lynch a man IS a crime.

But what have we here - today? Aren't "Big Al" (Sharpton) and his minions and the other Civil-Rights-For-Me-And-My-Kind-Only mob doing just that? Isn't demanding that a man have his show cancelled and his livelihood taken away from him for saying a WORD (a word, for God's sake) that others don't like - similar to calling for a lynching - after a fashion? I have a bad feeling that, if they could get away with it - they just might call for a real lynching. Is that where this disgustingly "politically correct" society is headed?

Allow me to tell you where I think this mess is heading if the Civil-Rights-For-Me-And-My-Kind-Only mob and their minions in the mass media - and those who are too afraid to stand up and oppose this madness - keep on going in this direction. Mark my words well.

What is going to happen eventually, is that white America is going to get fed up with this oppression and rebel. And those oppressive measures that are currently being used against white Americans are going to be taken up by white America and used against the very people who are currently acting as their oppressors.

Yes, oppressors. Those who have such small minds and little sense that they wantonly abuse the Good Will and tolerance of all Americans in their attempt to get revenge or retribution against any and all white Americans. This, for the horrible plight of slavery their ancestors suffered hundreds of years ago, under men and women long since dead. And, when that rebellion happens, as it certainly will, REAL Civil Rights are going to be rolled back - perhaps many decades.

Another of my great heroes, Mahatma Gandhi once said "An eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind." He also said, "Fighting fire with fire only burns the whole world down." So it is in this case.

Small minded petty people NEVER have the self-discipline to rein-in their own power over others. So it is with Sharpton and Jackson and all of the other Civil-Rights-For-Me-And-My-Kind-Only petty tyrants that dominate the Media Stage in America today.

The sad fact is that these men and women may have done great good in many ways. But they have become victims of their own power-lust. They have gone from being men and women questing after equality - to petty tyrants questing after DOMINANCE over those of another race. What is it, then, that makes them different from bigots and racists of other colors and races? 

It says in The Bible that "Pride goeth before a fall." The arrogance and power-lust of those who use the race card to try and oppress others will be their downfall. 

If America were not in such difficult times, I might just "save my own neck" by not writing this article and just sit back and watch the show unfold.

But we are in dire straits. We are in a war against a terrorist cause that is making war against us. And there is no room for a man of conscience to sit back silent and let this kind of garbage take its course without comment.

We either have FREE Speech - or we don't. Despite all the legalistic wrangling and hagglings and splitting of hairs, that is what it comes down to. I will leave the parsing of words and splitting of hairs to the effete legal snobs.

Remember, back at the start of America, there were lots of effete legal snobs in England that were doing the same thing. But the folks in America knew better. They knew Freedom from tyranny and said to hell with the legalisms of British judges and governors.

And they rose up against the tyranny of the King. And they rebelled against the tyrants who wanted to tell them how they had to live and what they could and couldn't say. And they formed a Constitution and a Country where such tyranny would NEVER flourish. And they called that country, AMERICA.

But many Americans have become weak and fat and lazy or worse - cowardly. Many Americans have forgotten (or thanks to our corrupt educational system) never knew the WHY that built America. And - out of ignorance or laziness or just plain cowardice - they bow and scrape like so many plantation slaves to the great "god" of public opinion, cringing under the whip of political correctness.

They are suppressed to the point where they will not even so much as offer a whimper, let alone cry out a roar, against the abomination of so-called "hate crime" laws that grow like destructive rust on the machinery of our Free Democracy. For, what are so-called "hate crimes" but THOUGHT CRIMES in the making.

Mark well my words again. If you do not stand up and oppose this madness; if you allow this insanity of "hate crime" laws to grow unchecked - it will not be long before the effete snobs and petty tyrants WILL be dictating to you what you can and can't THINK.

When that day arrives (and it is not far off) America will be America no more. And Freedom will be Free no more. And all Americans will regret it. And especially those who did not have the courage to stand up and speak out - will regret it. And it will take a new revolution and more bloodshed to regain the Freedoms that many take for granted and let go so easily.

Why do I stick my "neck in the noose" and my "head in the lion's mouth" by writing this article? Because I will not go to my grave having been one of those who were complicit in selling out America and our Freedoms to petty tyrants - no matter what the cost.

Will you stand with me?

God Bless you.
God Save America.

Postscript.
I append here, a note that will punctuate this article better than anything I could say. I had spelled out the N-word in the original article, in quotes - as I do not like the word or use it myself. Upon attempting to publish this article, I received a "red flag," saying that the article could not be published with the "N-word" spelled out. This, even though everyone knows full well exactly what the "N-word" means. In order to publish the article, I had to replace the N-word, with the "N-word."

Hello and God Bless America

I find myself in very intellgent and "heady" company here on Townhall.com.  One of my University Profs used to say (ad nauseum) that one should always be erudite - but never pedantic.

I don't pretend to be a genius or even claim to be particularly "erudite"  and I am sometimes a bit pedantic.

That caveat having been given, I would like to start by saying what I hope to accomplish here in the very limited time that I will have to create my blogs.

First, I hope to offer a view of the "Big Picture" by connecting some "dots" in ways that I - having been really stupid and extremely liberal in my University days - might be privy to that others with more common sense who started out and stayed Conservative may not see.

I may often sound like a "conspiracy theorist" to those who have never "sat too close to the fire" of Radical Liberalism (read that, Radical Communism) as I have. If so - so be it. I only mention it to save you, dear reader, the trouble of hammering out your criticism of this aspect of my opinions and wasting both of our time.

Before we discard all "conspiracy theories" as bogus bunk, let us remember that most, if not all of politics from "Ug" the caveman, to the present has been and is, today, made up of conspiracies of one sort or another.

Does this mean that every bizzare notion should be taken seriously. Absolutely not! Does this mean that all bizzare sounding "conspiracy theories" should be wantonly discarded? Absoulutely not!  But let us consider well, that the attack on Pearl Harbor was considered by many a bizzare "conspiracy theory" - before it happened.

Second, I hope that - having come to my senses and back to my Conservative and Patriot roots many years ago - that I can help in some small way to educate lifelong Conservatives with regard to the hidden agendas and methods of the rising Radical Leftists in America.

Third, and probably most important, I hope to provide whatever insight and information that I have gleaned during my PAST association with the Radical Left during my University days in the infamous and destructive "Sixties," with you and all Conservative and Patriotic Americans to help DEFEAT the rapidly rising Radical Left.

Can I deliver on these three promises? Drop by from time to time and let's find out. If you are a life-long Conservative and Patriot - here is one test you can use to find out if I am doing what I have promised to do:

If what I say does not sound preposterous and far-fetched (at least from time to time) then, I am not doing my job. If it does, then I am.

Why, you ask? (Did you ask?) Because the agenda and methodology of the rapidly rising Radical Left-Wing in America today is far more bizzare and diabolical than any fiction that you could possibly imagine.

Be patient with me. I have very little time to write - but I will do the best I can when I can. Also, please concentrate on my content and cut me a lot of slack on my spelling and grammer as I will not have time to edit these blogs to perfection - of that I am certain.

Finally, Welcome to my Cyber-home. I am most pleased to have met you. I hope that we will meet again soon here, in Cyberspace.

God Bless you and yours,
God Save America
