Constitutional Law

: The 1776 Solution

The Responsibility of Liberty

In viewing the last 50 years or so, one must come to the conclusion that the U.S. Government is taking the same domestic policy as it does its foreign policy: interventionism. The ills of the world and indeed the ills of individuals or even classes of people will never be solved by the intervention of the government and that fact has been proven time and time again with failed wars, failed policies, and failed programs.

The State Apparatus is incapable of sustaining itself as the ultimate support group for the world or for that matter, its own citizens because it was never intended to do either. The only valid utility our government has is limited to defending our own borders and protecting the Rights, Freedom and Liberty of the individual. The government does not have the responsibility to make decisions for each individual any more than it has the responsibility for any other nation or group of nations around the world.

Its scope of responsibility is extremely limited and yet it has taken upon itself the role of overseer and sovereign demanding obeisance, not only from the citizens of this country, but in many cases its demands are global in scope.

If we review both the domestic and foreign policies of this government over the last few decades, it becomes apparent that it doesn?t have the military might or the intellectual prowess to do either with effectiveness or efficiency. The choices that this government has made, under both Democratic and Republican Administrations, have proven to be wrong in many cases and disastrous in most. The list of those choices is long and notorious; needless to say we can now add the current war on terror, the war in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq to that list.

On the domestic front, the list is just as long, just as notorious and just as dismal. Yet, the government continues to assert its power in areas of people?s lives where it neither has any business or expertise. Its failures mount up like its debt, yet no one in Congress seems to have the foggiest idea about what is actually happening in this country; they simply set on their royal rumps, give themselves pay raises and take their five week vacations to the dismay of the citizens of this nation. It is obvious that they have shirked their responsibilities to the people and in doing so they have allowed The State Apparatus to become more important than the people themselves.

One would think that someone would look at the failures and realize that perhaps there is a better way. A course that could be taken which would once again allow this nation to become not only the Highest Beacon of Liberty and Freedom for its citizens, but also a nation who stands for something more than Global Imperialism.

The goals of this government are clear and yet no one in government seems to have clarity about what those goals actually mean for this country and the disastrous consequences that will follow if we continue down this ill-conceived path. As the government continues with such plans, schemes, wars, interventions, programs, odious Acts and Laws, it will become obvious, at some point, that the government will eventually have no choice but to turn its power upon its citizens or finally surrender to their consent.

We see a push toward more and more authoritarianism in this country because without it the government cannot maintain it supremacy over the growing unrest among the people. As it becomes evident that this government can no long sustain its ruse, the people will begin to resist and there will be no other option left to the government but to implement draconian measures intended to pacify the people.

Our Liberty, Our Freedom and Our Rights are Our Responsibility!

In Liberty,
Republicae-Seditionist
