| Simulacrum Posted: 29 Jun 2013 10:02 AM PDT Thank you Mark Steyn - I don't know that I can say the word, but I have just learned a new one. SIMULACRUM - image, representation, trace - as in a reasonable simulacrum of reality In his article Mr. Steyn weighs in on this week's government atrocities. From a "disabled" ( really/it's what it says!) veteran with a half a billion dollar contract from the IRS, to the immigration bill, to DOMA. He wraps his thoughts up very neatly in one sentence - While we're bringing millions of Undocumented-Americans "out of the shadows," why don't we try bringing Washington's decadent and diseased law-making out of the shadows? AMEN to that Mark! Via National Review Online - The Simulacrum of Self-Government | | A lecture from up North Posted: 29 Jun 2013 07:43 AM PDT This piece by a Canadian, is not dated but it looks as if it was written in 2002. The subject - July 4th celebrations. It's "true" meaning. When looked at in context to where America is today we see 9/11 was the point at which we, the people, turned off our thinking capabilities and simply handed over our future to the U.S. government. We thought OBL was the terrorist. It might have been wise (sarc int) to have carefully considered this "lecture." I don't believe Americans really understand what July 4th is all about. July 4 isn't about an "event" that occurred in 1776. It's not like your birthday where people celebrate the day you were born. The United States wasn't actually born on July 4. You had to win the war first. You stated your "intentions" on July 4. July 4 was the start of the insurrection against the King. You celebrate July 4 to reaffirm your commitment to freedom, liberty, freedom of choice. And it is a warning to your government. It was the start, the beginning a constant vigil. You didn't want to be told what to do, by anyone. You just wanted to be left alone to live in peace. The United States isn't interested in being a Super Power, only in being left to its own devices, not meddling in foreign affairs. You can't preserve your freedoms by attempting to control those of others. The purpose of the United States, setting an example for the rest of humanity, has been twisted over the years. July 4 is a reminder of what Americans were prepared to do to achieve freedom, and what they are constantly prepared to do again. The Constitution is a pledge by the people to themselves to preserve freedom at all costs. The government is the potential threat to that freedom which is why the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Your government is like an animal that you keep caged up. You control it, but are armed and prepared to defend yourself against it. July 4 is not an event that happened two hundred years ago. It is a constant vigil where Americans promised to stand on guard to forever protect their freedoms. Continue reading HERE |  |
