Keep the American Dream Alive

President Obama and Congress are not listening to America's cries for restraint and they have either unintentionally or by design put our great nation on an inevitable path to economic ruin and eventual tyranny.
 

I'm disheartened listening to the pompous and sarcastic words uttered by our President and Congress.  They mock and taunt the American people, while our silent pleas for wisdom and honor fall into an abyss of hubris.

In my despair I take hope in the Constitution's eloquent preamble, "We the people of the United States in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessing of liberty to ourselves and our posterity do ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States of America."

These aren't just empty words made in some bygone era.  This was an enlightened prayer of hope made by brave and honorable men who sought to make a more perfect union based on individual freedoms of MEN made in the image of God.

Compare this ardent prayer of our Republic to the soulless socialist "rights" that are conditionally tossed like chicken bones to starving dogs by some tyrant: the "right" to work, the "right" to housing, the "right" to health care, the "right" to eat, the "right" to education.... how empty and arrogant.

These socialist "rights" aren't even rights at all.  These are intrinsic duties and obligations that free men of dignity living in a free country, gladly and ambitiously secure in the pursuit of happiness for themselves and their loved ones.

In a free and just democracy, our inalienable rights are endowed by our Creator and secured by the Constitution: freedom of speech, freedom to worship God, freedom of thought, freedom to own the fruits of our labor, freedom of assembly, freedom to petition, freedom to pursue our dreams, freedom to happiness, and many others.  

In a Progressive Socialist State, freedoms of property, freedoms of thought, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom to petition must be rationed and curtailed in order to achieve redistribution of wealth.    

America's freedoms are not free.  All our freedoms have been purchased by the precious blood of America's soldiers and patriots that was spilled on the banks of the Potomac, the fields of Gettysburg, the shores of Normandy, the sands of Iwo Jima and the deserts and mountains of Afghanistan.

The faces of these brave soldiers may fade into memory, but the dream of freedom and justice these honorable men fought to protect have will never and must never diminished in the hearts and minds of free Americans.

History commands us, our sons and daughters obligate us, the souls of our soldiers implore us to not let this dream called America fade into some austere bankrupt Socialist Nanny state that arbitrarily decides which "rights" and freedoms are tossed and rationed to its servants.

We cannot and must not let the American Dream perish.
