Dear friend of
liberty,
As we celebrate the 236th anniversary of the birth of a new nation, I
have a question for you:
Would YOU sign the Declaration of Independence?
Would you sign the Declaration of Independence – knowing, as the Founding
Fathers did, that doing so would brand you as a traitor and put your life
at risk?
Would you pledge – in the words of the Declaration – your life, your
fortune and your sacred honor to the cause of liberty?
I’m betting that very few of
you would! Before you get angry and quit reading this post, please let me
explain…..
If you are a Republican and/or a Conservative and not of
the Ron Paul Wing, I bet that you would NOT sign the original Declaration
if you could because you love militarism more than you love liberty! You
see America’s military-industrial complex as something to be proud of and
that we should be going abroad in search of monsters to destroy. You
believe that it is our “national greatness” that should be the defining
force in the world today; we should be policing the world and “keeping it
safe for democracy”. Did you know Mr. and Mrs. GOP that the signers of
the original declaration greatly mistrusted a standing army and saw it as
a threat to liberty and the way to empire? Why do you think that the U.S.
Constitution only calls for a navy to be permanently established? For
further research I would suggest that you read the works of scholars Thomas
E. Woods, Judge Andrew Napolitano and Thomas Di Lorenzo.
If you are a Democrat and/or a Liberal I bet you would NOT
sign the original Declaration if you could because you are in love with
the welfare-nanny state and believe that the Federal government (actually
the taxpayers) should be providing each citizen with cradle to grave
handouts. You are also fully in favor of the U.S. going abroad as
humanitarians with a guillotine and helping each destitute nation whether
they want it or not! Do you realize that a lot of our international
policies actually make the world much more poor and destitute? Do you
really believe that our foreign aid makes it to the hungry and naked people
of those nations and NOT the Swiss bank accounts of dictators, government
officials and their families? Oh how Thomas Jefferson would be turning
over in his grave if he knew that the political party that he founded had
gotten so hopelessly lost and strayed away from the principles of liberty
that he held so dearly all of his life!
As for the rest of you……the remnant as we are called……
As libertarians and Ron
Paulians, you and I are today’s
representatives of the brave freedom lovers who risked life and limb to
sign the original Declaration of Independence.
The work you and I are doing for liberty is every bit as vital now as
their work was then. We are keeping their dream of liberty alive, but
that dream is quickly fading.
Who else will defend our cherished
liberties today when those liberties are all in jeopardy? Who will once
again proclaim the universal right to life, liberty, and the pursuit (but
not necessarily the attainment) of happiness?
I urge each and every one of you to shake off the tired
old “lesser of two evils” argument this November and DO NOT vote for any
candidate of the two “major” political parties. Always remember that you
are STILL voting for evil! Please change your voter registration tomorrow
from Democrat, Republican or Independent to LIBERTARIAN! We can bring
back peace, prosperity and liberty to our country! We can once again be
that shining city upon on a hill, a promoter of liberty around the globe
but a guarantor of none by force of arms! Vote Libertarian. It is our
last best hope! Live free or die! Remember the principles 1776!
