Although I believe that we mere mortals would do well to love/serve God as our heavenly King, I understand we each are (or should be) sovereign with respect to each other, and we can (and should) charter Earthly governments in bottom-upward fashion to help us expertly to defend this sovereignty from each other, as well as from themselves. Im grateful to Americas virtuous wise founders for chartering an excellent political system for us according to such principles, which included many features designed to resist tyranny, including division of governmental power into different institutions that are checked against each other. Sadly, since 1789, we Americans have allowed our free Constitutional compound republic to degenerate into a bloated corrupt warfare-welfare state that now teeters upon the brink of fascistic/socialistic despotism under a variety of would-be tyrant-demigods. Which includes President Obama, who has previously announced that 2014 will be a year of action in which he will escalate his usurpation of legislative power from Congress in order to issue edicts entirely on his own, so that he may implement his radical legislative agenda whether Congress cooperates with it or not. As this New American article reports, people expect Obama to announce his intended dictatorship more formally tomorrow during his annual State-of-the-Union Address to Congress. As James Madison has stated, The accumulation of all power, legislative, executive, and judiciary in the same hands . . . may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny. Lets hope that this dictatorship will be both benevolent and brief. We Americans desperately need to stop empowering such Caesars and, simultaneously, start both nominating and electing some Catos instead, which means (in part) that liberty-lovin Americans need to wrest the nominations process away from statists who keep nominating candidates like either Dubya or Obama. Without a widespread renewal of fidelity to both virtue and freedom, modern American civilization (much like that of classical Rome) will almost certainly peak and then dwindle away back into feudal barbarism. What will YOU do this year to help restore all thats best in Americas heritage?
