Though July is almost over, we must never forget what importance 'Independence Day' holds for all of us. I stumbled upon this video from a fellow who has taken the moniker of "Health Ranger." In this video he does a great job of elaborating upon what it is that our forefathers fought so bravely to become independent from. It wasn't merely 'England' that we rebelled against. It was rebellion against all forms of Tyranny. That is why our Founding Fathers worked so hard to craft a founding document that was intended to create a very LIMITED and very SMALL government. Perhaps it's time for a new revolution at the ballot box! Enjoy the Video and pay attention to the sampling of ways that our Federal Government is currently trying to take away some of our foundational rights. July 4th could also be called 'Freedom Day' because it was the beginning of our countries adventure in a kind of true freedom for a people that has never been equaled in the annals of humankind. So why do so many American's not feel very free? Why so many in bondage to debt? In bondage to a unimaginably long and detailed Tax Code? In bondage to obesity? Or in bondage to various forms of Mass Media, drugs, and other forms of escapism?
Has our people forgotten what it means to be free? Is this the last generation to even have a shadow of freedom in their lives? As a step to TRULY understanding freedom, I offer up this very astute and comprehensive description of real freedom as envisioned by our founding fathers, from the perspective of perhaps the greatest Leadership expert and teacher of our generation, or any other, Mr. John Maxwell. The title of the article is also the link: Full Fledged Freedom A new author, Richard Bernstein, has recently written a book called "Duped America: How Democrats and the Main Stream Media have Duped the America people and are harming our country." Sound's like something from a life-long Right-wing ideologue right? Well it's not. It is written by a life-long Democrat!! Who has 'woken-up' to reality since 9/11.
Chapter 6 of that book is an excellent historical account of the TRUE story about one of the main causes of the 2007 housing crisis which caused the relatively deep recession and resulting in one of the slowest recoveries this nation has ever known. The media would have you believe that we are in this mess because Republicans 'deregulated' the housing mortgage industry, when in fact the exact opposite is true. The truth is that from at least 2001 until 2006, many Republican's were begging for MORE regulation on the housing market, especially the sub-prime mortgage securities that were metastasizing out of control. But powerful Dems blocked them at every turn. You can read the who story in this excerpt PDF document from the book "Duped America": Chapter 6 of "Duped America" Read it, and learn a powerful lesson from recent history, and then draw your own conclusions based on facts, not spin... "We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive." — C. S. Lewis
All so-called 'Progressives' in the country really really need to spend some time thinking about this priceless gem of wisdom from a great thinker like C.S. Lewis. [O.K. I well aware that most progressives probably despise the man. But that just means they haven't watched "Shadowlands" with Anthony Hopkins. Even a progressive would love C.S. Lewis after watching that movie!] link-to-IMDB-page-on-Shadowlands Are you really a liberal? Or do you just think you are? To find out, answer these 21 questions that are posted at Prager University at the link below:
Prager Liberal or not Assessment This is not a 'joke' test, or anything disparaging to actual real Liberals. It is an honest assessment of some real and current issues, for which many self-descibed 'Liberals' might find themselves at odds with their more 'far-left' leaning brethern. Perhaps, our more 'soft-liberal' nieghbors and friends are really more Libertarian and even 'Constitutional' thinkers than they even realize. And perhaps they have more in common with most freedom-loving conservatives then they thought possible. It's worth a try anyhow! ;-) So, certain segments of our society would have us believe that a Socialist/Progressive vision of the U.S.A. would result in a less selfish community of people than would a free-market/capitalist type system. Well, Dennis Prager, always an eloquent man with words, deftly puts that 'mythology' back on the fiction shelf where it belongs. Please read it by clicking here, and then spread the truth....
