Place your trust in government and follow the path of civilizations lost or place your faith in the people and reach beyond the stars. \u2013 GP McClure<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

This last week I had an interesting thought, one that the more I think about the more I feel it to be true. It has been said that all civilizations reach a zenith and then fall. I have heard it said that the United States has reached its zenith and must now pay for its sins. Sins? What sins? Upon which the liberal elites release a barrage of items, all disparaging the United States. Perhaps slavery is the biggest of these \u201csins.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whatever the mantra of the political elites the message is always the same, the United States must pay for all the evil it has done. Of course the message is always on the negative and never on the positive. Apparently the country has never done any good for anyone but rather has raped the world with its imperialism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"In Embracing Chaos<\/em>, Tom Peters is at his most erudite and entertaining. The success stories he tells provide a treasure of new ideas and a model for how you\u2019ll face the difficulties ahead of you. He gives perspective on the challenges of chaos and advice on how you can enhance your success.<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

To a logical human being this message is a fallacy but then again we are talking about the political elites, those who are not logical but rather the hug-a-tree save-a-snail mentality types. Those with a limited mental capacity who will never admit they are wrong but everyone else is. And if you don\u2019t agree with their terminology then you are evil and should be punished. In their view government is the only entity that can save America. Only government can save the people since government knows better than the population at large.<\/p>\n

However history has proven that if you place your trust in government the country will die. The Great British Empire is no more because government was the all-powerful entity. The same holds true for the Spanish Empire. Germany, Greece, Rome, and Japan all suffered the same fate. In fact any country that placed their faith in government and government leaders has always, without exception fallen. And now these countries, if they are still around, are only a former shell of their once great power. Think of it as death by government.<\/p>\n

It took hundreds of years for these countries to achieve the greatness they once held. Their rise was slow but their fall almost immediate. So now the countries of Europe, a civilization which has been in existence for a thousand years, is only a ghost of what they once were. Yet even today the remaining countries of Europe are dying a slow and miserable death because the people placed their faith in a lie, the lie of government salvation.<\/p>\n

Now add one more country to the mix, the United States. This country has only been around for a couple of hundred years but we have saved the the world more than once from dictators and tyrants. In comparison to the rest of the world we are only toddlers but it is this country, the United States which now leads the world in everything. Or rather did. So what is happening?<\/p>\n

As the liberal elites enforce their vision upon the nation we find that we are being forced to change our focus from individualism to the power of government. I submit those who accept this concept are the problem and not the solution. This country was founded on the notion of the individual and not the power of government. This is why we have three branches of government with no one branch being superior to another. But today we see political elites defying the very laws which have carried this nation beyond anything the world has ever seen. And the worse part, the Benedict Arnold’s (formerly known as the main stream media) supports, and applauds this flagrant attack on the Constitution.<\/p>\n

It has been preached and taught that the Constitution is old and out of place in today\u2019s world. To which I say bunk. The Constitution is designed for one thing, to limit the power of government and enhance the power of the individual. Those that preach otherwise are determined to destroy the very fabric of this nation. How do I know this? A simple look at current headlines tells us the story. You don\u2019t have to look any further than that.<\/p>\n

So what has liberalism given us? What promises have the political elites made to the population at large? What promises does big government offer us in ways of life enhancement? Let us explore this concept for a few moments. To date political elitist has given and promised us (just to name a few items):<\/p>\n
