ALOHA PROMISES FOREVER

Stepping up in opposition to the gravitational suck of those who attempt to redefine what freedom and liberty mean:

          A fundamental difference between the allegedly progressive and true classical liberal idealists, now called conservatives, is in how freedom and liberty are defined. There is indeed an emancipatory element to the correct definition of these words. This meaning was fundamental to ending the reign of the autocratic aristocrats, from which the founders rebelled. This has carried forward in the civil rights movements, which have rightfully expanded the enjoyment of these rights to an increased base of people. However, those who initially called themselves “liberals” and now “progressives” have lost the substance by grasping at illusory shadows.

These shadows found in Marxian and Marcusian ideas are actually regressive in nature when it comes to stripping freedom, liberty, and rights from the people in favor of expanding government encroachment. It is private individuals and not collectivist interests that hold the ideals of property properly. The threat these collectivists impose on the property rights of individuals is every bit as once held by arrogant kings and greedy elites. Only the titles have changed. The sphere of government must be shrunk down in size to protect against this and not allowed to expand, encroaching on the rights of private citizens.

“Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.” —Aesop (c. 620–564 BC)

          We must stand firmly in opposition to the continuing misinformation being disseminated as the history and the principles of the republic of the United States of America.  There is a very evil propaganda program moving forward to discredit the founders of this nation and the very philosophies for which they were willing to bleed, and some die to found this great nation. This nation has seen plenty of controversy from its very beginning.  But never before have so many fallen for the miscast aspersions of Marcusian-based Critical Race Theory and the like.  As early as 1805, authoress Mercy Warren felt the need to step up against tyranny in the name of good and wise government (Warren 1805).  This is even more so needed today.

“It is necessary for every American, with becoming energy to endeavor to stop the dissemination of principles evidently destructive of the cause for which they have bled. It must be the combined virtue of the rulers and of the people to do this, and to rescue and save their civil and religious rights from the outstretched arm of tyranny, which may appear under any mode or form of government” – Mercy Warren, Author, 1805

More than that, it is the duty and sacred obligation of every free man and woman who holds the name of American to not only uphold our republic’s founding principles but also pass this on to the coming generations. America has temporarily lost her way and teeters on the edge of the abyss. One of the primary reasons for this is that the modern understanding is no longer as initially meant. The right to liberty is to be free of the coercive influence of others. The modern meaning has come to replace the coercive parties, allegedly to make up for historical oppression. 

Liberty has come not to mean equality of opportunity but access to services and goods regardless of ability to afford or to earn a level of transportation, housing, and medical care that exceeds general welfare. This is even at the cost of trampling the rights of others.  Therefore, it is necessary to constrain the government’s powers and preserve the rights of all citizens. The Declaration sought to guarantee the right to pursue happiness and not happiness itself. Material wealth and happiness itself must be earned, not mandated.
