Chaska -> RE: A New American Revolution! (10/9/2016 10:26:00 AM)

More and more Americans are finally starting to realize we have a problem in this country. Most are not sure why or even what the problem is. They simply sense something is very wrong, as the nation appears to be losing its direction. Before any kind of action is taken, it’s vital that these concerns be understood and answered. Only then can we be assured to receive the desired outcome: freedom.
The revolution of 1776 was not just an exercise by armed men seeking to overthrow their current government — as had been done so many times throughout history.
It wasn’t a desperate attempt to replace a bad king with a new one — backed by the usual hope that this time, this one would finally turn a kind, benevolent ear toward the pleas of the people. Such revolutions had been fought for centuries. Always the newly installed despots learned quickly how to plunder the people, gain power and riches for themselves, while holding out the carrot — the promise of a better day.
It wasn’t until 1776 that a few scholarly men in a rural, backward, isolated land figured it out. They studied every possible style of government. They noted the pitfalls, the dangers, and the traps that lead to tyranny. Most importantly they noted this fact: Freedom doesn’t just happen. It must first be understood. And then it must be planned, implemented, and protected.
Today, based on that first American Revolution, we hear many advocating support for the Principles of Freedom. But what are they and were did they come from?
