‘Letter from an Australian to America:

Posted on July 4, 2015 by KG

Here’s why I love you, USA
…America has also shown uncommon valor against the sword of tyranny. She has frosted the neighborhoods of tyranny and oppression, by freezing the sweat and chilling the bones of men harboring such aspirations. From the beaches of Normandy to the sands of Iraq, America has spread more freedom and fought more evil than any other country, expending enormous treasure.
Put simply, the world is a better place for America being in it. This is not to say America is perfect. She’s not. But she is the best thing we have…’

    “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.”

      It is unarguable that the evils perpetrated upon the Citizens of the United States are fast becoming, indeed may well have become, insufferable. It is equally unarguable that the brave men who forged both that document and your nation would have taken up arms long before now.

      I think you have two choices. The first is to use the mechanism afforded to you with such brilliant prescience; a Convention of the States under Article V. Use it to remediate Washington.

      The second is to go through a Second American Revolution, with who knows what result?

      The rest of us don’t have the luxury of such options. We live in that Elective Tyranny which Alexander Hamilton so feared – all-powerful central governments can pass whatever laws they choose. Our fundamental rights and freedoms are afforded not by God, but by the beneficent State.

        “The rest of us don’t have the luxury of such options. We live in that Elective Tyranny which Alexander Hamilton so feared..”
        Ain’t that the truth. And people mistake that tyranny for some kind of liberty, never realising that they are only free to do what their masters allow.

          Precisely. Freedom is a terrifying concept to those who don’t realise the price of their captivity.

            The freedom isn’t what scares them. It’s the responsibility to provide for themselves that comes with the freedom.

            Trust me. I’ve grown up in the generation that’s now responsible for making sure the clocks keep ticking.

            Collectivism isn’t driven by goodwill. It’s driven by the inner fear of those that support it, because they know in their heart of hearts that they don’t have the attitude or the aptitude to make it on their own.
