Group: Reclaiming Our Inheritance

The Presidential election of 2008 is the most important event facing our nation this year. Quite naturally, our attention is focused not only on the candidates, but the many challenges and issues, both domestic and international, that the next President will have to deal with. Concerning these issues, we all have our ideas and potential solutions and on this site as well as others, we have the opportunity to discuss them. While there are many different opinions expressed, a common point missing in these discussions is how we can make these solutions happen. The truth of the matter is that the elites who control the two major parties are not listening to "we the people". Sure, they say that they are, and at every opportunity, they are quick to mention the Constitution or the rule of law or the will of the people. These phrases however, have become sound bites brought out at the appropriate TV moment to enhance their election prospects. Once in power however, they quickly ignore what they promised. The two major parties have engineered the election process to assure themselves continued power. Using the propaganda machines of the DEM/GOP/MSM, they have cleverly duped the American people to ensure their hold on power by using two tactics. The first involves the old technique of telling a lie over and over until it becomes accepted as true. The lie is that only "they" have the necessary wisdom, knowledge, and experience to govern. The American people have been convinced that there are no other choices, nowhere else to go. If you think about it, you will easily recognize the old lesser of two evils idea, that we must hold our nose and vote for one of them, the Democrat or the Republican. We are constantly told that any other action is a wasted vote. The second tactic used to keep power among the elites is to divide the nation into opposing camps of liberal and conservative. The divide and conquer technique is probably older than the big lie one. In this case, they have set up the Democrats as being liberal, and the Republicans as being conservative. When writing legislation, the two sides fight each other to enact their version. What this immense concentration of power in our politics has given us is extreme partisanship rather than leadership that develops creative and innovative thinking. In many cases, a real solution to any problem is not always so one-sided. The partisanship however, has become so severe that neither side is willing to consider the ideas of the other, and the end result is usually ineffective legislation that produces no long term solution and winds up wasting time, money, and resources. The fact is that government of the people, by the people, for the people, has been usurped by the elites who run the show. Both parties have been infected by the internationalist mindset that sees an eventual new world order, a one world government dedicated to creating the elite version of a socialist utopia. This attitude has become so prevalent that the Democrat Party has moved further left than ever before and now embraces the EU Democratic Socialist model of governing. The GOP has also moved left, now occupying the space formerly held by the "regular" liberal Democrats. One need only look at the positions of the current Presidential candidates being offered to us by the Democrat and Republican parties. The policies being presented by both Senator Obama and Senator Clinton reflect hard core socialist views, with more taxation and regulation. Their positions on health care and education are only the tip of the iceberg. The Republican candidate, Senator John McCain, is the author of a variety of leftist ideas such as McCain/Feingold, the No Child Left Behind Act, the comprehenisive immigration reform act, along with his other congressional votes. The overt lack of any Constitutional authority to implement these policies is not even a passing thought to any of the elites in both parties. Our precious birthright, given to us by the founding fathers, envisioned a nation of free men and women. They pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to give us an inheritance of freedom to make our own choices and to pursue our own personal vision of happiness. They did not guarantee an outcome, only an opportunity. That inheritance has been stolen from us by the elites who now control our government and the two major parties. There cannot be any real solution to the challenges ahead without a basic, even extreme restructuring of the power base in our politics. The hold that the two major parties have on power must be broken before any substantial improvements and changes can be made. Electing another elite, from either party, will not accomplish what needs to be done. Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result. How can we hope to have a different result if we once again fall for the lies of the elites and elect one of them? Their goal is power, and every election is to them a chance to increase that power. It is never about real, effective governing, and bi-partisanship is not their intent. In any case, it doesn't really matter which of these parties win the White House. The elites who run not only our government, but all others around the globe, the elites in the media, academia, education, and NGO's like the United Nations have a very deliberate idea of the future. At every turn, they are squandering our resources, weakening our military, mortgaging our future, and selling out our sovereignty. Their eventual goal is to bring America into line with their vision of a socialist one world government, and the biggest obstacle is the Constitution of the United States. Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor once stated that OUR Constitution should be interpreted in light of the laws of other nations. Although now retired, she lectures around the nation at prestigious law schools promoting this very concept. Current legislation in our senate authored by Senator Obama, called the Global Poverty Initiative, seeks to tax the U.S. to provide funds to the U.N., and includes a provision to eliminate small arms from all people. The destruction of the Second Amendment which gives the America people the right to bear arms in their own defense is a highlight of the U.N. agenda. Other legislation, including the Law of the Sea Treaty, will greatly restrict rights to the world's oceans and cede authority and revenues once again to the U.N. The birthright of the American people is the right to be be free from oppressive government. The founders, in a unique display of real wisdom, understood that a limited national government with most of the decision making residing at the local level where the people have the most influence could be the only guarantor of that freedom. This birthright is being slowly stolen from us, and it is imperative that we do what is necessary to stop that theft. The only way in which the American people can effectively reclaim their inheritance is to break the hold on power by the two parties. Unless and until we exert the authority given to us to govern ourselves as a free people, we will only see more big government and less personal freedom, and a sad end to this great experiment in freedom and self-governance, the United States of America! In order to reclaim our inheritance we must, in this election of 2008, deny the elites that which they desire above all else, the Presidency! There is no other effective way to do it. It is impossible to expect the elites to give up their power and forfeit their agenda. They will not do so. Only an independent President, one not tied to any party machines, any PACs, any corporations or unions, not linked to any money grubbing lobbyists, can actually stand up to the elites and represent the American people first. No Democrat or Republican President can or will go against his or her own party. Every decision and every piece of legislation is viewed with the potential political fallout in the next election in mind. Every election is viewed in the context of what effect the result will be regarding their share of the power. Ultimately, the concern is to further the internationalist utopian vision that is in the heart of all the elites. This quote from Thomas Jefferson perhaps best explains the task ahead. "The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite." We all have ideas about what needs to be done in our great country, but in order to bring about any solution, we must first understand the things that are preventing such solutions. What is hampering our beloved nation is not the lack of good ideas. It is not the American people's unwillingness to work hard and make sacrifices. It is not the lack of will or resources. The lack of real, practical solutions to the challenges we face and the intense partisanship that refuses to give way to leadership is being caused by an elite that seeks power first and foremost with the intention of furthering their own internationalist agenda. If we once again, in this election, give more power to these elites, we will do such great harm that our country may never recover. We must think and act differently if we intend a different result. It will take courage and faith to do that which we have been taught not to do, elect an independent President. We must take that action. If we fail in that task, how then can we ever reclaim our inheirtance?
