History Repeats

By Tammy Derouin

When we were born, we were born free, but it didn’t last very long.  And you thought that first cry was from the shock of the birth process.  As more Americans wake up, the reality hits like your first gasp of air.

Man has a thirst for power and domination.  He will intentionally inflict great pain and suffering on his fellow man.  The population is but a tool for someone who desires ultimate power, a human army, and a means to an end.  The people are disposable because they’re mere stepping stones.  Man is cunning and ruthless in his quest for power and ultimate control.  When push eventually leads to shove, man is the most evil of all species. History provides many examples.

Man disguises his malicious intent by pretending to care about the weakest among us.  Those who distrust the fox in the hen house are immediately called into question.  Did someone doubt the nice, gentle fox?  He is only making sure the hens have everything they need.  After all, the hens elected him to guard and provide for them.  The weasels would occasionally discover a hen between the teeth of the fox.  To make such headlines go away, the fox befriends the weasels.  The fox knew if he played nice with the weakest among them, he would gain more influence and power overall.  Eventually, one fox became more powerful than all the weasels combined.  He now controls their lives.  He allows them to exist, conditionally, of course.  In exchange for not reporting the occasional disappearance of a hen, or anything else the fox determines must go, the weasels will continue to live.  The weasels now work for the fox.  They are his minions.  Their job is to distract, by supplying the smoke and mirrors, whenever and wherever the fox demands it.  We know them as the American Press.

There is greed in all of us, not just those who believe in capitalism.  How we use that trait determines our path.  The desire to better one’s self can be strong enough to lift someone out of poverty.  It can be the driving force behind a new company.  This company may eventually employ many people; people who believe in an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay.  Maybe it will lead to the formation of yet another business.  One success leads to another.  By nature, man wants to better himself.

Progressives have become very successful.  Their success, however, is deeply embedded in both greed and capitalism. This fact forces them to distance themselves from reality, or the truth.  They’ve made words such as greed, capitalism and free-market, evil, in an attempt to convince you that you can’t succeed without the help of the government.   History is changed; facts and evidence are hidden or destroyed.  They’ve convinced themselves that they know best.  All that’s left is to convince you.  

Progressives desire a perfect world as determined by them.  The American way of life has been in their cross hairs for decades.  They play upon our fears and target the weakest among us.  They lie, claiming everyone is entitled to everything.  Unattainable promises are made to feed their greed, helpful for getting re-elected. The ability to deceive and disguise the truth makes them more powerful.  Successful Americans have been turned into the evil greedy enemy of the poor.  Progressives have harnessed their political desires with like-minded influential corporations.  They wish to control every aspect of your life. 

Nobody is entitled to anything other than life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness - nature’s law.  Nature’s law gives rights.  Man’s law takes them away.  Progressives don’t want you to know how powerful and empowering freedom really is.  You wouldn’t need them if you did.

If the progressives are successful, our brief existence as a free nation will be a chapter in the history books.  They will claim America failed because Americans became too greedy.  The free-market system and capitalism will be blamed.  They will deceive everyone including themselves. 

If America falls, greed will be to blame but it won’t be because we had too much freedom.  Greed will be blamed because history repeats.  Man desires to control his fellow man.  We don’t know our history so we smile, applaud and elect those who convince us that they know best.  Detroit is a perfect example of what happens to prosperity when left to the progressives.

It isn’t the government’s job to provide for you; that is your job.  We came into this world free.  I fear, with each passing day, we will exit this life pursuing that which we once had, freedom.

“The truth is, all might be free if they valued freedom, and defended it as they ought.”

Samuel Adams
