2014: The Year The Truth Became Collateral Damage In The Degradation of America

10. The connection between the White House and the I.R.S in the I.R.S targeting of conservative political groups and individuals. Evidence of what some argue is the greatest act of collusion between the I.R.S and the White House in recent time against the American people.

9. Obama’s plans to shrink the U.S military to pre-World War size. Despite the unprecedented military expansion of Communist China and Russia, and the admission by the Administrations Intelligence Director of the direct threat they pose, Obama still proceeds in the drastic reduction of America’s military.

8. Labor Force Participation Rate for 25-29 Year Olds Hits Record Low. America’s “Millennials” have become M.I.A in today’s American work force. At the same time, it has been an employment bonanza if you are foreign-born.

7. U.S. Regulatory Costs Are World’s No. 10 Economy. Irregardless of the constant cheering of the supposed growth in the monthly national economic reports, even if they are to be taken as true, how greater would the news be if the economy was free from the burden of government?

6. The Administration’s extreme neutering of the nation’s immigration policies is the cause of the illegal immigrant crisis on the southern borders. As the invasion continues, and the Media attempts to place a simple humanitarian face on it, the cost burden to the public education system and cities alone are debilating.

5. Obama knew people would not be able to keep their doctors under Obamacare. What may go down in history as the biggest and most economically crippling act of blatant deception by a president of the United States, Mr. Obama repeatedly told the American and U.S citizens that they would be able to keep their doctors if Obamacare was enacted. He knew it was a lie.

4. Obamacare will increase unemployment ranks and incentivise laziness. OK, if I don’t work or work as little as possible, I can get more money and more health benefits from the government? Who didn’t know how this would end? Really?

3. Obama’s border policies caused EV-D68 enterovirus epidemic. The same year in which thousands of women and children flood into the nation from 3rd world Latin nations, with the minimalist of health screening, and are allowed to scatter throughout the country and into the government schools. And then there is this “mysterious” virus that strikes the schools where many of the immigrants attend. No correlation? Why was there a gag placed on the Border Agents?

2. The architect of Obamacare admits that Obama purposefully lied and deceived the American people to pass Obamacare. The major media outlets, TV and print, did everything to keep this bombshell from the American people. So much for the “gate keepers”.

1. Michael Brown did not have his hands up and attacked police officer Wilson. This has to be the largest production of mass truth distortion in recent history, second to St. Nick living at the North Pole. The facts of this story, via the Grand Jury verdict, did not get in the way of those seeking to transform this nation into chaos and anarchy.

1. America’s oil boom makes U.S less dependent on foreign oil and is the reason for the plummeting gas prices. With America finally becoming oil independent, and reports of Texas alone becoming world’s #2 oil producer, you would think that this would be front page news and be receiving wall to wall coverage by the Media…instead…CRICKETS!

As secularism, the notion of no definitive right or wrong, becomes more accepted and god, the Christian God, is pushed out of public view, there are two quotes that I will leave for you to ponder, Edward Bernays, whom many consider to be the father of propaganda, “The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the [public] is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.” and Alfred Adler, founder of the school of Individual Psychology, said “A lie would have no sense unless the truth were felt dangerous.” Those who seek to drive this nation into anarchy and division are working very hard to distort and manipulate the truth. It is up to us to chose if they are successful.

A President Gone Rouge: Where’s The Outcry?

obama smug

The late U.S President Richard Nixon famously stated, “When the President does it, that means that it’s not illegal.” He was later removed from office by the people.

But my, my, my, my, my, how times have changed. And not for the better. Today the American people are faced with Nixon reincarnated on steroids and a complicit Congress that is seemingly more interested in being politically correct than constitutionally correct.

The nation is faced with an invasion of immigrants unlike in any other time deliberately instigated and enabled by the Chief Executive of the United States. Unwilling, or unable, to make his case to the American people why the nation needs to allow more immigrants, particularly those low skilled from south of the border, how the nation can financially afford the influx of such numbers, or explain how the nation could best assimilate such an influx of immigrants into our society at a time of unprecedented economic and employment troubles; Mr. Obama instead creates law at his desk, via Executive Orders.

From the moment Mr. Obama was placed into the Office he has  sought to move heaven and earth to impose his vision of America on America, by any means necessary.  Many of his actions have not just been on the line of legality, but totally over it.  His most blatant acts of lawful defiance and indifference has been his championing of Latin immigrants who seek to come and stay in the country “undocumented”; even at the expense of the nations domestic laws and social tranquility. Though there has been Presidents such as Teddy Roosevelt who have used their power of the pen to impose their interpretation of a law passed by the Congress, never has the one charged to enforce the laws of the land so blatantly chosen to ignore written laws, and write executive law and regulations unilaterally without care or consideration of the Branch that’s actually empowered to make law, i.e., the Congress.  Coupled with the curious fact there doesn’t seem to any true opposition to his power grab is even more problematic. Mr. O seems to be totally unconcerned about the negative effects that his actions will have on the nation. Or is this his intent?.

What makes Obama’s actions even more bizarre, is that to hear him speak of his having to ignore the Congress to get his policies enacted to the American people, the fact that the Congress will not blindly go along with his wants, he believes that we should be greatfull that he is working outside of the laws of the country.  Lets remember that Mr. O views the Constitution as “a Charter of Negative Liberties“.  It’s too restrictive on the powers of government.  If the head the Executive Branch believes that the laws of the nation are to be adhered to only when it’s convenient, how is the average citizen or the youngest amongst us to view laws or those in authority? And should we rest comfortably thinking that this precedent won’t be followed by future presidents to a even more greater degree?

The fundamental question we the people of America should be asking is, Whether we are to be ruled by a king or governed by a duly elected Legislature in concert with the Executive and Judicial Branches in accordance with the Constitution? Founder Alexander Hamilton discussed the king vs president comparison and how laws are to be properly enacted in the Federalist Papers #69 by saying, “The President of the United States is to have power to return a bill, which shall have passed the two branches of the legislature, for reconsideration; and the bill so returned is to become a law, if, upon that reconsideration, it be approved by two thirds of both houses. The king of Great Britain, on his part, has an absolute negative upon the acts of the two houses of Parliament. The disuse of that power for a considerable time past does not affect the reality of its existence; and is to be ascribed wholly to the crown’s having found the means of substituting influence to authority, or the art of gaining a majority in one or the other of the two houses, to the necessity of exerting a prerogative which could seldom be exerted without hazarding some degree of national agitation.” I would say that we are pretty agitated. Wouldn’t you? If we want a president who totally ignores the voices of the people via their representatives because they wont act as his wants, than it is a king that we truly want.  The powers of the Executive, as well as the government as a whole, were to be finite, defined, and limited, to ensure the liberties of the people and the tranquility and prosperity of the nation.

The desire of big business and government to import cheap labor in mass to the detriment of abled-bodied domestic labor is not new, as reported by Roy Beck in cdn.rollcall.com. We have today a government working against the betterment of the nation seemingly with impunity.  We today have one of the lowest labor participation rates in our nations history and a federal debt that is so negative it is going to be born by our posterity for generations.  We have a gross deficiency in moral governance and a evolving cancerous societal culture that denigrates the value of having a high ethical code.  That of hard work in particular.  We do not have a domestic labor shortage, despite the constantly repeated political mantra.  If that were the case wages would not be stagnant or declining as they are. How is flooding the nation with more low-skilled immigrants who many seeks to take even more from our coffers that we do not actually have going make us as a nation more prosperous?  How does imposing laws in one way for the benefit of one group of people and in a different way, or not at all,  for another make us more just? More united?

What is vastly different today is the grotesque level of Saul Alinsky-like techniques of word manipulation, deception, and dishonesty presented by Mr. Obama and the lack of resolute moral governance by the people’s representatives. A unrestrained government, one that sees no bounds to its authority, that deliberately tramples on the line between legal and illegal at the expense of the will of the governed, is by definition a tyrannical government.  But, we the people have to posses a definitive moral constitution for those who represent us to.  We have to be knowledgable of the of the proper role, authority, and function of government.  We have to be informed and engaged on political matters and the actions of the government. If we have a president who acts illegally, a government that chooses not to govern, but rule, or have laws made that are unlawful, it is up to each of us to check him or them.  At the end of the day our silence is our quiescence.

Why Is Americanism On Life-Supports?

As Americans from coast to coast, border to border turn the page on the 238th celebration of the nation’s birth, and at the same time bear witness to the sheer chaos and division that is flowing throughout the countryside like Sherman through Atlanta, one has to ask, WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOIN’ ON OUT HERE?!

From the halls of the federal Capital, the government education system, to Main Street, one would be strenuously pressed to find any reflection or resemblance of the basic fundamental intent of this nations founding principles. In fact, a very good argument can be made that it is those very principles that are under the most vigorous assault here at home today than they have ever been from foreigners since the Revolution.

We have a literal tidal wave of immigrants running over our southern borders; induced, enabled, and emboldened by the man who sits as the president of the United States to remain.  In effect nullifying our nation’s southern borders and any notion of this being a nation of laws that are to be adhered to, particularly by those who are entrusted to enforce the laws. Federal Immigration and Nationality Act Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii), which is federal law, clearly states, “Any person who . . . encourages or induces an alien to . . . reside . . . knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such . . . residence is . . . in violation of law, shall be punished as provided . . . for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs . . . fined under title 18 . . . imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.” Now unless this law has been amended, changed, rescinded, or there is some other authority or law that is being acted covertly on, what is happening regarding immigrants coming into this country and staying “undocumented” is unlawful. Period! But should anyone stand in opposition to this unlawful act is to be branded a racist or anti-immigrant and silenced or censored.

The federal government is drowning in debt and is threatening to drag America down into the economic abyss along with it. This coupled with the fact that a majority of the U.S populace are politically ignorant, politically disengaged, and unwilling to hold their Congressmen accountable has finally unleashed the governmental beast to grow and consume the rights and liberties of the American people to its heart’s content. The government has created the Department of Homeland Security, expanded Medicare for senior citizens with a host of unfunded liabilities and expenses. It has spent Trillions in the TARP – Troubled Asset Relief Program, – on the so-called Stimulus Plan and the financial and medical system takeovers, via Dodd-Franks and Obamacare, respectively; which will take generations to repay and drag the nations quality and standard of life down to levels not seen since prior to the industrial revolution. None of the programs nor laws have expanded freedom or independence for the American people. But what they did do was to greatly expand the powers of the U.S government over the American people. Should anyone or group, such as the TEA Party rise in opposition and attempt to reattach the chains of responsible, accountable, and Constitutional restraints on those who took an oath to abide by the Constitution, they a called anarchist, racist, anti-government, and are silenced and censored.

The the Entitlement Class is the fastest growing sector of the American population today. More Americans today believe truthfully that they are owed something, either from the government, their kin, or from society as a whole. Much unlike in our past when masculine rugged individualism was an engrained cultural concept, we are now being transformed into a feminine nanny/dependent state of mind. From a time of the 1940’s when to receive charity was something worst than death, to today where the receipt of welfare is literally celebrated and sought, that we have nearly half of the population receiving some sort of government assistance.

The Silent Recession of today is only silent due to the massive amount of people receiving their life’s assistance from the government, i.e, housing, food, healthcare, TV, iPhones, etc, and the virtual blackout by the Establishment News Media. People just are not feeling the pain or inconvenience of having to go without as our forefathers did during past economic depressions and recessions. And when there’s a great story of tragedy caused by the failed governmental economic policies, such as what has happened to Detroit, the national Media is most  curiously uninterested.

We have more able-bodied citizens sitting idle, under-employed, and unemployable than at anytime in our nations history. The transfer of our nations manufacturing industry to foreign lands, the decline of the Dollar’s buying power, as a result of the ever-expanding federal government’s debt, and the massive influx of not just low-skilled immigrants, legal and illegal, but high-skilled.  Thereby reducing even more the pool of jobs for unemployed Americans at suitable wages, has only been immeasurably exacerbated by governmental policies such as Obamacare that is already forecasted to push millions of Americans and U.S citizens to the unemployment and under-employment roles. And what is the response of the federal government? The expansion of more assistance, via Food Stamps, Unemployment Insurance, and Disability Insurance, and establishing the notion the hard work and self-reliance is unnecessary. People are made more and more dependent and beholding to the federal government for their very existence. But if anyone should attempt to raise the alarm of this devaluation of our culture and standard of living by way of grossly counter-productive governmental policies they are called alarmist and anti-government, and are silenced and censored.

Today nearly everything about traditional Americanism, American idealism, and American principles are being driving out of our culture and society due to the deliberate mis-education system that the very question of what we stand for as a nation and people is no longer clear. The extreme Progressive Liberal’s view of Americanism that permeates today’s government education system is that of being racist, colonialist, war-mongering, the cause of the worlds ills, and religious bigots, due to the fact that we hold Christendom supreme to all other religions. We are being turned into a secularist nations. We have no longer any true identity or philosophy that which we can clearly stand for – it changes with the political wind. The barometer of what is right and wrong, true and false, legal and illegal, and good and bad is measured by how one may be feeling at the time. There is no longer a concept of absolutism.  Even the very manner by which many of us obtain news is less about being informed than it is being entertained. The very foundations of having a strong a work ethic, high moral integrity and character, individualist spirit, having respect for law and order, and freedom to express unpopular views, are under assault in the country as in no time since our inception.

It is at times like these that I like to look what our fore-fathers and other great Americans have said or wrote on manners such as these. I believe that Abe Lincoln said it best regarding whether this nation’s downfall when he said,if it ever reaches us, it must spring up amongst us. It can not come for abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”

The basic ideal of Americanism is individual independence and freedom.  But that comes with responsibility and accountability.  At the end of the day, we have the nation the we want. We have the government that we want. And we will determined whether we as a nation and a people will bear the uncomfortable weight of freedom and independence, as our founders intended, or succumb to the ease of servitude and dependency.

Obama Escalates Scorch-America Policy As His Reign Comes To End

The most recent scandal of the Obama reign regarding the growing humanitarian crisis that is developing on the nation’s southern borders with the unprecedented surge of illegal South American youths, as well the release of 5 high-level Taliban officers from the Guantanamo Bay prison for a captured U.S soldier, after being rejected twice by Congress, must be put in a proper perspective in order to be clearly understood. These and other inexplicable actions by Mr. Obama and his accomplices are not by accident, but an another orchestrated play to dramatically denigrate America’s status and position on every level – politically, socially, internationally, militarily, and most importantly economically – before he vacates the Office.

It should be noted in relation to the Administration’s release of the Taliban prisoners back to return to the battle field is not new, it’s not the first time. It has done so in 2012 and 2013. It was all done quietly by the Administration and without much of a peep from the Establishment Media. But the most recent unlawful release of the 5 of the most dangerous Taliban prisoners for a suspected U.S military deserter, Prvt. Bowe Bergdahl, maybe most disturbing due to the way the Administration’s brazen and extraordinary overt manner in which it chose to execute it. First, it was with a grandiose Rose Garden announcement and production, with hugs, kisses, and tears, while a Marine sits in a Mexican jail and other Americans remain captive in foreign jails unmentioned by Mr. O. Then, the Administration follows that assault of the American people’s sanity with feeble attempts to manipulate and distort the truth with promotions of the exchange being due on moral grounds, for the health of the U.S serviceman, that the 5 Taliban members will not pose any threat to U.S security. Blah, blah, blah, lie, lie, lie. The Administration repeats its pattern of truth deformation, intellectual dishonesty, and blatantly working against the interest of the American people. Then he looks for the Establishment Media for cover. Just as it has done with the Benghazi scandal, the Veterans Administration scandal, the IRS scandal, and other scandals. And the Media is too eager to oblige him with cover and distraction.obama tears constitution

Mr. O is in his last term, with a totally submissive, duplicitous, and complicitous Congress, and a largely apathetic and politically disengaged American populace.  It seems as though the only thing standing in the way of his, and his handlers, fulfillment of sending this nation to 4th-world status and social dysfunction is time, when his term ends.

Even as the most passive spectator looks at the wake of Mr. Obama’s reign in the seat of the Presidency of the United States, he sees a implicit pattern of destruction and decimation of America’s once great foundation and status – here at home and abroad. Obvious proof of his astonishing lack of a positive record of his Administration is how there was not one true accomplishment that he himself ran on in his re-election, and none that any Democrat candidate is running on for their re-election.  And things are looking to get a lot worst, even after the Republicans regain control of the Congress.  Mr. O has made obvious his disdain for Constitutional restraints and his utter contempt for the powers of the Legislative and Judicial Branches of the government. He doesn’t like his plans to be challenged on their merits, via the people’s Representatives. He prefers to rule by pen – Executive Orders and or regulations – like a dictator or king.

The scandal over the Bergdahl exchange for 5 high-level enemy combatants is just the latest atrocity that if one were just dropped from outer space, and witnessed the federal government’s actions over the past 5 plus years, he would think that there had undoubtedly been a coup de tah. A very good argument can be made that this Administration has done little to nothing for the benefit of America or the American people. But with the clock ticking on his dream of fundamental transforming and remaking of this republic, Mr. O seems to be kicking up his efforts up more than a couple notches to do even more damage to the nation.

child-illegalsAfter years of tickling us with opening our nation’s southern borders and allowing a flood of largely low-skilled and uneducated immigrants to enter and stay for the past 4 years, he is now setting the nation a blaze with a purposeful orchestrated assault of hundreds of young immigrants on our nation’s southern border. Due to Mr. O’s Executive Order that allows illegal youths to be free from deportation, its unlikely any of these children being returned to their home. Instead their parents will be sought to join them here. Never-mind if the parents are illegal themselves. Can you say AMNESTY. This naked defilement of the nation’s immigration laws will only add to the already over-whelmed social system due to the need of not only the millions of illegal immigrants here already straining the national economy, via the health system, the penal system, the education system, and the welfare system, but of those legally here. The situation at the border is so serious and grave that the Administration dare not let their actions be known by too many Americans that they’ve placed a gag order over the government agents on the border. With the nation’s labor participation rate for American youths at all-time lows, with 2 out of 3 jobs going to immigrants – legal and illegal -, and Obamacare set to increase the list of the medically uninsured, how can any of this be good for the nation? It can not! Oh as for the youths of the of 90% of the political demographic who so stubbornly voted for “Mr. First African-American President”, twice, the Black-American community, the labor participation rate amongst it’s youth is at a historic low under this Administration. But, according to Mr. O the future of this nation depends on Latin children who are in the nation illegally. To his credit, he does not say that we will have a prosperous nation.

But his disastrous policies to reform America into an unexceptional, lack-luster, dependent nation will have effects that we and the world will be feeling for generations to come. He has saddled us with Himalayan mountain size regulations that retards and disincentivises economic growth and expansion. He’s crippling the primary source of energy of the nation, coal, with his granting the EPA with extraordinary powers to increase regulations on the energy industry that can only end up hitting us in the pockets, at a time that they are feeling lighter and lighter already.

He has long sought to redefine and reconstitute the U.S military, as evidence of his now infamous “apology tour” after his first inauguration. He wants to shrink the nation’s military to pre-WW 2 levels, vacate the role of world military leader, particularly in the Middle East. At the same time Russia are joining forces with Communist China and increasing their fighting capabilities and capacity.

This Administration’s actions has undermined the trust of the American people unlike any since Nixon with its unjustified and dissonant scandals such as the IRS targeting of Americans simply due to political affiliation that seemingly lead right to the steps of 1600 Penn Avenue.

Mr. Obama has without true cause greatly fractured us as a nation. And in so doing is seen as not trustworthy by a majority of the American people. This is the President of the United States the we are talking about folks! We are not just talking about the man who currently occupies the Office, but the cherished and historically exalted institution that is the Presidency of the United States.

But it is not the fault of Mr. O being who and what he is. He is what he is and has always been. He is someone who has an extreme degree of psychological discomfort with America – how it was founded, its dominant position in the world, and, most importantly, its Republican-Constitutional form of government.  It would be extremely apparent if more of us would plow ourselves from the TV programing and just listened to what he was, and is, actually saying and watch his true actions beyond the distraction of the award-winning Media production of “the United States’ First African-American President” that has been played before us and the world. The demise of America has been planned by our enemies since our inception. But it has come to this place and time when there are so many citizens woefully and willfully ignorant of our nation’s history and reason for being that we are like an orphaned infant passing to bosom to bosom blindly being led further and further from its original creation, heritage, and identity.

Just as Ben Franklin remarked after signing the Constitution, We have a Republic, if we can keep it.” Mr. O has repeatedly remarked things such as transforming or remaking America. But, in order to remake or transform anything it has to be first destroyed or torn down. But it is not Mr. Obama’s duty to keep this republic or this nation as it was rightfully constituted. It is not the duty of the Congress. It is inevitably the duty and responsibility of we the people to do so and to be eternally vigilant over the actions of those entrusted to represent us to see that our wishes are properly adhered to; to hold them accountable. After all that is said and done, we have the very government that we want.

 

 

10 Things We Will Not Hear Come Out of Mr. Obama’s Mouth As He Reports on The State of the Nation

Barack ObamaYes here we are again, another speech by Mr. Obama on the State of the Nation. As this being the fifth one by Mr. O, the first after his re-election, with a nation still in the grips of economic depression of historic proportions, and with the people of America thirsting for words of inspiration, a provocative and aggressive vision for a prosperous future for the nation to ensure America’s prominence in the world, and or words of a blueprint to draw a resolution to the ills of division and unrealized greatness.  We are all more than likely going to get more of the same warmed-over mantra of taking from those based on their ability, to give to those based on their needs, and that America is a nation a victims and that it is the government of the United States’ duty and obligation to right the wrong.  No matter the consequences to the community as a whole. It may be too much to ask for him to deliver a speech like John Kennedy or Ron Reagan, or God-forbid George Washington. But why are we being subjected to speeches of Saul Alinsky, Woodrow Wilson, and Karl Marx?

The one thing that is for certain is that Mr. O will continue in his reshaping and redefining the office of the Presidency like none of his predecessors have done, nor possibly ever envisioned for this great nation.

The 10 words that we are most certain to hear come out of the mouth Mr. Obama, if his past rhetorical history holds true:

10. Any mention of the positive effect of the Key Stone Pipeline proposal.

9.   Any mention of the literal economic boom occurring in oil and natural gas rich states such as, North Dakota, Texas, which could be the blueprint out of the economic dependency on foreign nations, such as Communist China and the nations of O.P.E.C.

8.   Who’s actually responsible for the attack on the U.S Embassy in Benghazi.

7.   How he believes the nation can regain our Economic Freedom Rankings that have us currently as low as #12; behind nations such as, Singapore and Hong Kong.

6.   That he believes that the illegal immigrants, and their enablers, in the audience should be arrested and departed, to demonstrate that he has sworn an oath to uphold ALL of the laws of the United States, even those that he may disagree with. According to the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act Section 8 U.S.C 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii), “Any person who . . . encourages or induces an alien to . . . reside . . . knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such . . . residence is . . . in violation of law, shall be punished as provided . . . for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs . .. fined under title 18 . . . imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.”   How,and why is this, any many other federal laws, being totally ignored by the Administration?

5.   Any mention of the fact that for the first time in America there are more able-bodied citizens on Food Stamps.

4.   Any mention of the fact that the labor participation rate is at the lowest.

3.   Communist China is growing as serious military threat, as well as an economic competitor and that as a nation we should work towards regain our economic solvency to effectively address the challenge.

2.   Any mention of the amazing success the Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, and other Governors, have had at economically reviving his State’s economy by reducing taxes, cutting government expenses, and encouraging business development, to be possible blueprint for the nation.

1.   Sincerely apologize to the people of the United States and America for blatantly lying to, misleading, manipulating, us regarding Obamacare – and many other things.

I know, for him to say anything such as this would be too much like right for the nation. And most of us are more interested American Idol, the Super Bowl, or figuring out what to eat tonight.  But as the people of America and the United States become more and more numb to not just the words of the President, but the actions of the government, so more in jeopardy are our cherished liberties and freedoms. As the prophetic warning of Founder Daniel Webster, “I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe … Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. — From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing. Make them intelligent, and they will be vigilant; give them the means of detecting the wrong, and they will apply the remedy.” is placed in the recesses of our mind, we need to know that historically when the people disengage from the political guidance of their nation that is purposefully dependent on its intellectual governance, personal liberties and freedoms are what is ultimately surrendered.
