Don’t Surrender Your Freedom
“From the get-go” is a cute euphemism for “from the beginning,” but betrays a subtle brainwashing.
But what does “get-go” mean in regular life?
“Get-go” implies that the user of the phrase acknowledges, at least subconsciously, that they must secure permission from an authority figure over them before proceeding with what ever it is they want to do.
The liberal lexicon is built to double-speak us into an altered mental state where we are open to suggestion, persuasion, that we should conform to their mindset.
Political Correctness is contrary to our Constitutional Right to Free Speech, but being Politically Incorrect is a sin akin to racism. The left is adept at using words, and words have real and spiritual power, to constrain and conflict their opponents.
We are all born (or naturalized) free citizens of the United States of America, the greatest country on earth. Our President Monroe put forward in December 2, 1823, the Monroe Doctrine, which stated that further efforts by European countries to colonize land or interfere with states in the Americas would be viewed as acts of aggression requiring U.S. intervention. Besides our own Declaration of Independence, it is the most concrete expression and defense of free will and self-determinacy.
In a “Newt-shell,” The Monroe Doctrine said that all countries in Latin America were free to choose their own destiny and map their own future, without European meddling, or the Americans would spend blood and treasure to protect those rights. “Self determinacy” is at the heart of American Freedom. “Go where you want to go, do what you want to do, with whoever you want to do it with” is the version that The Mamas and Papas sang in the hippiest of times. Don’t let anyone put chains on you!
So why am I concerned with the silly saying “from the get go?” It is symptomatic of a larger problem.
The enemies of freedom are not so stupid to try and take our freedom(s) in a big, bold action. It is more effective to cook the American voter like the slowly boiled frog. Unexamined sayings like “from the get-go” are a symptom of the slow creep of authoritarianism, socialism and Marxism into our daily American lives.
Emboldened by the 2008 (D) sweep led by the as-yet-unrevealed Obama (who is not a Muslim), the (D) party rammed Obamacare down America’s throat in the dead of night with very few witnesses on the floor of Congress, and then signed it into law in a tiny White House ceremony. That bold but covert move sparked the TEA Party and the voter revolt that led to a (D) rout in 2010.
The (D) Party learns from its mistakes, and won’t likely repeat their over-step that is Obamacare. Therefore, we are back to the chess game of pawn warfare, where major victories are set up by strategic deployment of pawns taking very little steps.
For example, why do we let pundits tell us how to think? I’m willing to listen (or read) their opinion, but only I decide if I will take their suggested course of action.
For decades, the Liberals accused conservatives of being mind-numbed robots controlled by Rush Limbaugh. I’m happy to report that it is the listeners to NPR, PBS, MSLSD, et cetera that behave with mind-numbed precision, parroting their non-factual talking points to which fact-checkers award high Pinocchio scores.
When someone tries to control our behavior with an accusation of raaaacism, we must immediately call them on it and tell them to prove their accusation. If they refuse, then we need to tell them that in America, we are innocent until proven guilty. Without proof, their accusation is a baseless lie, and we should, a la Alinsky, ridicule them into oblivion, right there on the spot.
If someone tries a Politically Correct constraint on our free speech, we need to call them on it, and denounce their anti-American ways. Sure, we need rhino (not RINO) hide to deal with the blistering attacks of the left, but we can no longer afford to give ground in the battle for America’s destiny.
Already, 47% of America is on the government handout program, while only 53% are working and paying taxes. With the latest Obama and (D) debacle, many of those working people are now unemployed. I certainly hope that the recently unemployed do not give up and surrender to governmental control.
Let us heed the warning of Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor. His observation about the fall of the Athenian Republic is just as apt today, when applied to the American Republic–whom many insist on calling a democracy:
“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship.”
We cannot allow America, the world’s last best hope for freedom, to vanish in the chaos of voters pushing (D) politicians to empty and gut America. Freedom is very precious. We dare not surrender even a molecule of it.
We must be ever vigilant that every time we are asked to surrender even one iota of our freedom, we must strenuously reject it. Even when it comes to figures of speech.
Cocktail Party Moderation Equals Death
In this election, MODERATION EQUALS DEATH.
The GOP nominee will be the next president of the United States.
Period.
This means that the GOP nominee has to care less about re-election than he or she cares about killing Obamacare.
The GOP nominee has to care less about pleasing the Lamestream Media than they care about gutting the tax code.
The GOP nominee has to care less about “reaching across the aisle” than they care about killing unconstitutional federal departments and programs and sending them to the the States, to local government, or the People (or oblivion).
The GOP nominee has to care less about being called a RAAAAACIST by race pimps like Al Sharpton than they care about killing in-state tuition, free healthcare, free housing, welfare, and other taxpayer handouts to illegal aliens.
The GOP nominee has to care less about pleasing the shrieking socialists in the government employee unions than they care about killing the Department of Education.
The GOP nominee has to care less about pandering to the AARP than they care about ending the National Debt.
Nominating anyone who isn’t serious about doing anything and everything it takes to save this Republic, will mean the end of America as we know it.
Anyone who cares more about being re-elected, being liked by the LSM, sucking up to the NEA, pandering to La Raza, throwing sops to seniors, and being the perfect cucumber-and-mayo-on-white-bread, inoffensive, go-along-to-get-along, moderate, kumbaya, Cocktail Party Establishment GOP candidate, doesn’t deserve to be president.
As Michelle Bachmann said, conservatives and libertarians are sick of hearing that we have to settle for a moderate.
Settling for an “electable” moderate got us Bob Dole.
Settling got us John McCain.
This year, moderation is the difference between careening off the cliff at 60 miles an hour versus 80 miles an hour.
A moderate will not keep us from going over the cliff.
A moderate–no matter how slick he is on TV, or how “electable” the LSM says he is, how perfect his hair is, or how “presidential” he looks–is fundamentally incapable of making the piss-everyone-off decisions that are necessary to save this country.
