QUICK, CLOSE THAT DOOR!
They walked right through that unguarded door and began tyrannically transforming our Constitutional Republic.
5-20-2024
“In our opposition to monarchy, we forgot that the temple of tyranny has two doors. We bolted one of them by proper restraints; but we left the other open, by neglecting to guard against the effects of our own ignorance and licentiousness.” Benjamin Rush
There’s plenty of ignorance and complete licentiousness (recklessness) floating around in our nation. I’m not just talking about the leaders; I’m referring to We the People. Benjamin Franklin’s words of warning, “…if you can keep it,” referring to our Constitutional Republic, have been all but forgotten. Liberty is always in the hands of the people, and that is why Franklin’s words were not addressed to an elected official but to Mrs. Powell, a mere citizen.
The elected will always take more power than what is allotted to them by the Constitution, it is up to the people (consent of the governed) to hold them accountable and give them their walking papers when they abuse their authority and claim more power than is contracted to them. When we ourselves are ignorant and reckless, the tyrants grow in power. Quick, Close that door!
We’ve been apathetic and reckless regarding our nation’s governing, allowing the most corrupt and ungodly people to sit in positions of leadership. It is not just one branch of government abusing the rights of the people, but it involves all three branches and their oligarchy of bureaucrats. (The Swamp!) When we weren’t guarding that door, they walked right into our Constitutional Republic and began transforming America (fundamentally changing it) into an oligarchy dictatorship. Quick, Close that door!
We all see it!
When we watch the person who is said to be the president of the United States stumbling around, unable to read or even understand the words on his teleprompter, needing note cards to carry on a conversation with a foreign dignitary and when we see foreign dignitaries having to help our so-called president figure out which direction to go on and off a stage, it is obvious that the elected are not leading this nation. Even though Joe Biden is a known liar and has been corrupt all of his political career, it is sad to see this man being led by political puppeteers and placed in some very awkward situations; humiliating for him, as a human being. The entire world sees what is happening! While this charade of the U.S. Presidency is in the theater of the world, it is distressing and dangerous for America’s national security. It is more than sad; it is obvious tyranny! This tyranny is being thrust upon us as the party in power screams that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. They always point fingers at others to distract from their own crimes against America. Quick, Close that door!
There is no virtue among our leaders, especially the current administration and the Democrat Party, but they certainly do not have a monopoly on tyranny.
“No government can continue good but under the control of the people; and their minds are to be informed by education what is right and what is wrong; to be encouraged in habit of virtue and to be deterred from those of vice…These are the inculcations [ingraining] necessary to render the people a sure basis for the structure and order of government.” Thomas Jefferson
When I watch these completely ignorant, clueless, uneducated, indoctrinated and bamboozled college students protest against Israel and stand in solidarity with the murdering Hamas, I can’t help but wonder, just exactly “where are their parents?” They have shirked their duty as parents to raise children to be virtuous and productive citizens, so these college useful idiots fall prey to outsiders who hate America and convince them to cheer for the genocide of a people, when the truth is, they are the ones planning and practicing the genocide of Israel (all Jewish people) and Christians, in fact, all Americans! Yes, these outsiders even want the genocide of those students whom they have coerced into protesting along their side. Quick, Close that door!
“Consent of the governed,” as in our Declaration of Independence, affirms that the power of government belongs to We the People. It is the most hated phrase of our elected officials and their oligarchy of bureaucrats. It is also the most neglected phrase of We the People, as we fail to realize “we are the power!” Quick, Close that door!
Calvin Coolidge stated, “Unless the people, through unified actions, arise and take charge of their government, they will find that their government has taken charge of them. Independence and Liberty will be gone, and the general public will find itself in a condition of servitude to an aggregation of organized and selfish interest.”
Like the negligent parents of the college students who lack virtue and are incapable of recognizing right from wrong, we too have neglected our nation by allowing immoral and ungodly people to rise in political power. Quick, Close that door!
John Adams stated, “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” John also made the comment, “Public virtue cannot exist in a nation without private virtue, and public virtue is the only Foundation of Republics.”
In today’s tyrannical America, we are told good is evil and evil is good. Abortion isn’t murder, transgender is normal, drugs are being approved as legal, our nation is being invaded by enemies from all around the world, if we don’t spend billions of dollars to green energy companies our planet will die, our stumbling-bumbling president is a wise man, inflation is a good thing and using proper pronouns is more important than free speech. Quick, Close that door!
It is true that We the People left the door of tyranny open by neglecting to guard against the effects of our own ignorance and licentiousness.
Quick, Close that door!
It is our right and our duty to “Keep It” – to protect and guard our Constitutional Republic from the greedy nature of tyrants. We the People must take our duty, “Consent of the governed” literally and get involved. Scripture put it this way: “O God, You have taught me from my youth; And to this day I declare Your wondrous works. Now also when I am old and gray-headed, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come.” Psalm 71:17
We have an obligation to CLOSE THAT DOOR, and “Proclaim Liberty throughout all the Land unto all the inhabitants thereof!” To teach America’s youth of God and Country! Instill in them the value of virtuous living; Life, Liberty and yes, the pursuit of Happiness, Property and Prosperity.
Liberty is always in the hands of the people. We must be a virtuous people if we are to be a free people. Liberty must be a valued lust within our heart. “A vitiated [impure] state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom.” Patrick Henry.
