Executive Orders And The New American Sovyet |

Dear Mr. Boehner, Mr. McConnell, et. al;
Our federal government is out of control. It is not the role of the federal government
to regulate the daily lives of the citizens. It is not the role of the federal government
to regulate domestic commerce. It is not
the role of the federal government to tell farmers what to grow, nor tell
people what to eat. It is not the role
of the federal government to dictate the education of our children. It is not the job of the federal government to
trespass into state criminal investigations.
It is not the role of the federal government to control our
rural or municipal affairs; yet, the President has now established federal
councils for both rural affairs (Executive
Order 13575—Establishment of the White House Rural Council June 9, 2011)and
municipal affairs (Executive
Order -- Establishing a White House Council on Strong Cities, Strong
Communities May 1, 2012). Russia called
these councils the “sovyet” and they are the final building blocks to communism. It is not the role of the Federal government
to be the people’s nanny.
It’s not the role of the Federal government to spend this
nation into oblivion. Pardon me if I do
not get excited about your current budget debate. That drama has outlived itself, and I say let
the government shut down for a while; we might buy a few more days of life for
our Constitution. I am also not
impressed by your resolution on foreign affairs, encouraging “democracies"
in foreign nations, while our republic is being actively destroyed by its own
government.

This Is Why I Teach, This Is Why I Fight! |

I have been traveling the country for the last two years,
teaching people the true history of the founding of our nation. I do this
because I believe two things: one, that God has placed a call on my life and
two, those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat its mistakes.
Recently, I was able to spend two days with a room full of
high school-aged, homeschooled students. It was amazing. The first day, we went
through a practical exercise to teach both the difference between a democracy
and a republic and the value of liberty as paramount to security. The second
day I taught them the Roots of Liberty Seminar that I normally give to adults.
I was particularly nervous about the second day. How would I relate this
history and these complex principles to people who have had few real life
experiences with the economy, adult society, and political concerns or
responsibility? I would be the one who would get a lesson that day.
I have been teaching for over two years the understanding the liberty is an
inherent possession of man. I truly know
that Liberty is a gift from God. But I more
fully realized this as I spent two days with these young people. Because Liberty is inherent,
teaching young people the value of Liberty was not as difficult as I had
anticipated. I saw the evidence of that
awakening in their spirits as I shed light in their minds on this great gift
from God. The first day they were able toexperience
that Liberty means something and to determine that they would no longer be
so flippant with its care. They really learned and understood what most of the
people in government will never know and understand; Liberty can never be
traded for security, not ever. Many went
home after the first night and were enthusiastically telling their fathers all
about the day’s lessons. They were
excited about what they had learned. They were excited that learning about history and government was so much
fun. They were excited to know that they
were going back to hear more the next day. I was as amazed as the parents were.
