Truth In A Time Of Lies
By David Cox
Mark Twain once remarked how he saw one man berate a lynch mob, how one
man with moral courage overcame the entire angry mob. He continued the
mob had no sand in them against someone with moral courage. If
physically brave men were all that was required they could be had by the
cargo, but morally brave men and women were in short supply or perhaps
out of stock. We have watched our court system gelded and our
legislative bodies put out to pasture. Our eyes have seen and our hearts
have felt yet our feet remain still and our inaction emboldens them.
Our Congress has deserted us! Like the poor in New Orleans they claim
there was nothing they could do they counted heads not enough for a
filibuster they lamented, dang were sorry. Their comes a time when the
table should be overthrown with the cry of no more! The passengers of
the hijacked flight 92 airliner could have formed a subcommittee with a
list of recommendations to the hijackers. This was a crisis, they didn’t
hold a vote or count heads for they knew unless direct action was taken
they would die! Even though there was a very good possibility they would
die either way they chose to stand and die to stake a purpose to their
last moments of life instead of hiding under the bed like frightened
children.
Our government has been hijacked, and our Congressman and Senators
meekly explain we counted heads and we just didn’t have the votes. Talk
about bringing a knife to a gunfight! This group brings a Jell-O mold to
a gunfight! We not talking about the appropriations for national parks,
we are talking about the founding principle of modern democracy on earth
almost 800 years old, that the King is not above the law. A man has a
right to face his accusers and cannot be held without charge. These
rights were won at the point of a sword! Do you believe that they could
be kept with kind words and platitudes?
This is not a failure of party but a failure of institution, a
monumental failure with catastrophic consequences. ***** you all! To
those who voted with the President I say to you, it is not that you are
bad Republicans or Democrats for it is not on a political level that you
have failed. It is on a moral level you have failed, you are failed
human beings and the shame should haunt you the rest of your mortal days
and even your children for you have disgraced even your legacy. You are
a Judas who sold out the suffering servant of democracy. Not since the
Reichstag passed Hitler’s enabling act has their been such an outrageous
and odious political performance, your in fine company now!
To those who voted against the President, ***** you all! You didn’t
fight hard enough, you stand there mugging for the cameras shuffling
your feet kicking the carpet saying gee wiz we tried! In the dark days
of 1940 Churchill concluded one of his speeches "Arm yourselves, and be
ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better
for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation
and our altar. As the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be." What
would it take? If this principle isn’t enough, what would it take to
overturn the tables and cry no more! To throw their damn tea into the
harbor!
When Moses walked down from Mount Sinai with the tablets of Ten
Commandments do you think he checked to see if there was room on the
back for corollaries? He was their leader wasn’t he allowed to interpret
the law as he saw fit? No, because Moses was an honorable man, if we
learn nothing else from Nazi Germany we must remember democracy requires
honorable men. The Germans fell prey to the Fuehrer principal, let the
leader decide, he knows what is best for us.
When disreputable people enter government democracy is easy prey, the
Nazis never gained a majority vote but through double-dealing and
conniving they obtained key posts including Vice Chancellor and control
of national elections. They made sure no one tampered with the vote by
having a Nazi official in the booth with you! Little wonder they had
such a low opinion of democracies, they brought knives to gun fights.
The Reichstag passed the Enabling act to give the leader freedom of
action from a supposed internal threat. Do you think the act was passed
to provide security for what had already happened? Or what was it passed
for what going to happen!
I have heard the crap the President is seeking to protect himself and
his administration from war crimes charges. ***** I’ll ask again!
Your looking through the wrong side of the binoculars, do you think the
act was passed to provide security for what had already happened? Or was
it passed for what going to happen? The Patriot act defines the term
enemy combatants Patriot 2 redefined it. When the Presidents pen touches
parchment it’s redefined again to mean any one he says. The Fuehrer
principal is alive and well. Think about that for a moment and then ask
yourself what is worth fighting for? The plans are already on the board
for Halliburton supplied camps. The ship won’t right it’s self it’s
passed the tipping point.
If we look to history tyranny is always overthrown, eventually. Either
by war or the death of the tyrant that my friends is the good news. The
bad news is it almost always follows complete collapse, Napoleons France
Czarist Russia, Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia and the Eastern Block or
Argentina. Maybe not in our lifetime or perhaps I should say our
expected lifetime. History shows us only two roads back military defeat
and or bloody revolution. Our own American Revolution is due in part to
mental illness in England’s highest office why do we think we ourselves
immune? History’s is like a song the verse may change but the chorus is
always the same
We are not the first to have had our government hijacked but we may be
the last. The madmen want their wars and won’t be dissuaded. Like
children on the fourth of July the want to shoot off the big rockets,
they wanted to put conventional warheads on ICBM’s They’ve grown bored
with the other toys and besides they’ve broken most of them. To those
monarchist who prononce “You just hate George Bush!” I proudly say Your
***** right I do! Every American who loves and cherishes what this
country is supposed to be will say the same thing. I’m tried of arguing
with morons, if they were to put Charles Manson in a Santa suit they’d
say you just hate Christmas don’t you! Charles Manson is the opposite of
what Santa is supposed to be and Bush is the opposite of what the
President of the United States is supposed to be.
What would George Washington say of this? His idol was Cincinatus, or
Lincoln? His idol was Socrates, so he feared much about the death of
democracy. Thomas Jefferson expected this and predicted it, in his
genius of being a dreamer yet well grounded gave us the answer not at
the end of the debate but at it’s inception, you cannot accept only
parts of the ideals set forth in the document it must be accepted in total
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from
the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any form of Government
becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to
alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its
Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such form,
as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should
not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all
Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while
Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms
to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and
Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to
reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their
Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their
future Security.
They abuse you because they don’t respect you and they will continue to
abuse you because they don’t fear you!
