Roanoke Times, 7-4-11, Pg 10: The right of the people
Thomas Jefferson’s Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America was a radical document that changed the world.
-
Kudos to the Roanoke Times for such a courageous act of journalism. After all, the Declaration of Independence has become a politically incorrect historic and archaic document as viewed by the major liberal press and all progressives everywhere. To that end their primary view is that it, like the Constitution, is a “living document and not a solemn declaration” subject to change and interpretation by whomever they favor at any point in time.

Two of the focus items of the PC Progressives with the Declaration are:
-
1. This Country was not and is not based on a God centric view; but the Declaration says”
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by the Creator”. Who might that have been?
“Appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world.” And who might that have been?
“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence”. And who might that have been”
-
2. The Progressives insist that the country is founded on an all powerful and controlling and autonomous central federal government.
However, that was precisely what the Declaration was written to confront and even without the 14th Amendment the founder’s views were clear that concentrated power at the federal level was not compatible with an independent and free people.
“The Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Fee and Independent States”
“to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do”
-
We are now locked in a major conflict between those who view the Federal Government as the answer to all our challenges and problems and therefore empowered to seize whatever power it deems appropriate to exert its will upon the people and states, verses those who view local control and States Rights as being the best vehicles for the people to balance government control against personal freedoms and self-determination.
-
The 2010 elections set the stage for this major conflict.
The 2012 elections will determine the course of our governance and it is likely that direction will prevail for much of the 21st Century.
-
God Bless our American experiment in personal freedom and self-determination! We are indeed unique throughout history and the world.
