Although each person I've talked to understands they're being cheated by this they just tend to think that other Americans won't listen, or think Americans too busy to preserve their own most basic rights.Īre Americans, in fact, too lazy or stupid to defend their own freedoms anymore? Some say that a few words about their own history will bore them to giving up their republic without so much as a fight, especially with an election law attorney writing like this as if he's Paul Revere. Having talked to many folks, I've not yet found an American who says this warning is not well taken. WARNING: a bipartisan Congress will, in the next few days, attempt to violate your #1 Inalienable Right.

If those clauses can be nullified, then of what value are they? By supinely accepting all this, today we are neither free nor brave. We have allowed elected officials to do to us what our forebears shed blood in wartime to prevent foreign governments from doing to us.Īll elected state governors in power today have nullified the freedom-protecting clauses of the Constitution. We have lost liberty without a shot being fired because most Americans prefer the comfort of safety to the battles for liberty. Let’s answer rationally, not emotionally. Today, polls show a smaller percentage of present-day Americans as outraged at the loss of freedom as were those prepared to fight the Revolution against the king. Harvard Professor Bernard Bailyn, the country’s foremost scholar on the colonists at the eve of Revolution, has concluded that barely one-third of them favored violent secession from Britain. History shows that it takes a determined minority to seek and to preserve freedom. Most folks are content with an overbearing government acting as if we work for it and trampling our liberty in the name of public safety. We have little freedom remaining because of our timidity.
Is the United States today the land of the free and the home of the brave? Rather, we have been silenced and immobilized and humiliated by the commands of 50 state governors - some more in-your-face than others - all profoundly offensive to the personal freedoms that the Constitution purports to guarantee. Drop by drop, the intelligence data is being released or leaked, and it shows an administration indifferent to the plight of folks from China traveling west, gullibly accepting the deceptions of the government of China, arrogantly self-confident that it can’t happen here, ignorant of the ease with which a virus passes among the heedless, and unwilling to grasp the dangers making their way here.Īnd all this do-as-I-say-today-or-face-newly-crafted-government-punishment nonsense, which is enforced by reluctant police who would rather chase a bank robber than a jogger in a government-owned park, is not the result of legislation enacted after a broad national debate, nor is it authorized in the Constitution.
It probably did originate there, but the Trump administration declined to take it seriously for nearly three months. The government has persuaded nearly all of us, with its selective employment of scientific data, that we are suffering from an unavoidable viral pandemic that originated in China. This is a painful question to ask and answer in these trying times. Could it be we have repeated it so often that we have lost sight of its meaning? Is the United States today the land of the free and the home of the brave? The phrase “the land of the free and the home of the brave” is as American as any one-liner in our history.
