Under our Constitution we were granted five important freedoms. Among these and perhaps the most important is freedom of speech. The others include freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly and the freedom to petition. They are gifts and how we use those gifts may determine how long we remain a truly free country. The founders of America knew very well that there is a constant struggle between the power of government and the rights of the people to remain free. It’s why we exist as a society.
This was clear enough to the average citizen until the Great Depression when Franklin Roosevelt introduced the notion that the people had too much freedom. Though the causes of the Great Depression were global, Roosevelt blamed the people for abusing their gifts of freedom with capitalist ideas of individualism. He unleashed an ideologically weaponized government into a free society to metastasize over time into the very thing our founders were escaping.
Chapter two was the War on Poverty and the Great Society which raised the stakes of government oppression from conventional to nuclear. From this point on government intrusion began multiplying by cellular division eating our freedoms as it grew. The people know what freedom is but they are under constant attack from government that propagandizes itself as a protector of freedom while it is actually devouring it.
Our founders were fleeing from a top-down state tightly controlled by a tiny nucleus of empowered aristocrats who were deciding for the people what freedoms they were allowed. The growth of the government is paramount because under this system the people aren’t considered intelligent enough to deserve actual freedom-they must submit to central authority and take their sparse, meted freedoms as a slave takes his meals. They are considered beasts of the field while the aristocracy embeds itself in the government taking all the best for itself through forced taxation.
Today the government has commandeered the majority of the press and subverted its purpose from the dispensation of truth to the delivery of propaganda. The majority of American media has joined itself at the hip with government because they share the common goal of fooling the people. The Affordable Care Act was the last great foundation stone of absolute government power over the people and the current president is dismantling it. This is why the liberal press has to take him down.
