Can you feel the subtle tension of tyranny gripping our nation? If you can feel it, you are a freedomist. If you can honestly say you cannot, you are a tyrant.
Ever since President Barack Obama took office his political critics have argued that he is leading this nation toward socialism. It is time that we all wake up and realize that Obama is not leading our nation down this path, we, the people, are. You and I represent the true fountain of power in this nation, and we are ultimately responsible for how it is projected within and beyond our borders.
As a freedomist, I believe that only an individual can truly be sovereign. To defend and extend the blessings of liberty, sovereigns form federal unions by ceding power to government at various organizational levels. We cede power, rather than surrender it, fully knowing that at any time we can restore our individual sovereignty if the social contract that collectively binds us is compromised.
When government exercises power not delegated to it, it is no longer legitimate, and the remedy is a redress of grievances, or in extreme cases, revolution. The federal government cannot invent new powers without amending the Constitution of the United States. Even then, they cannot touch our inalienable rights. When they do, it is our right and duty to restore our individual sovereignty.
President Obama thinks that the Constitution of the United States is a unilateral contract in favor of the federal government. He is wrong. The Constitution is not an American Express card. Our Constitution outlines the powers that you and I have ceded to the federal government, not vice versa. We issue the card and can cancel it anytime – especially when we are a victim of political identity fraud.
When one group of sovereigns seeks to enhance the power of government without the consent of the other, the remedy is secession, or in extreme cases, civil war. Sovereigns can only cede power they possess. For example, you cannot cede my reserved power to government without my consent. Doing so would make you a thief, a fraud as well as a despot.
Don’t tread on me - or your neighbor.
