Freedom Something to be Responsible For





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_(political)

Political freedom is the absence of interference with the sovereignty of an individual by the use of coercion or aggression. The members of a free society would have full dominion over their public and private lives. The opposite of a free society would be a totalitarian state, which highly restricts political freedom in order to regulate almost every aspect of behavior. In this sense ‘freedom’ refers solely to the relation of men to other men, and the only infringement on it is coercion by men.

We were free from our first breath. What more true word to live by.........

I had a very interesting conversation with a Seventeen year old Women. She and I always have very good conversations. But this one amazed me. We began by talking politics. Which then turn to the Constitution. She made a statement that floored me. She said that in one of her classes the were discussing the validity of the Constitution and how the wording of the Constitution can be manipulated to advance any agenda because of how Vague it is.

the first amendment.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

What can be manipulated here? What is Vague? Most People will list this at one of the most important. But do we forget that there is Nine more that our founding Fathers felt necessary for them to enact into our Constitution.
Lets Look at them.

Amendment 1 - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression
Amendment 2 - Right to Bear Arms
Amendment 3 - Quartering of Soldiers
Amendment 4 - Search and Seizure
Amendment 5 - Trial and Punishment, Compensation for Takings
Amendment 6 - Right to Speedy Trial, Confrontation of Witnesses
Amendment 7 - Trial by Jury in Civil Cases
Amendment 8 - Cruel and Unusual Punishment
Amendment 9 - Construction of Constitution
Amendment 10 - Powers of the States and People

These ten were of course called the " Bill of Rights "

These were also written by White Christian Slave Owners? So they have no Validity? RIGHT??????? They are Archaic words on An Archaic Document. They have no place in our race towards Nationalism. Towards Globalism. RIGHT?????????????? How could we ever be so wrong.

These Rights are not guaranteed because of some piece of paper. These Rights are not GIVEN to us by our government. They were not given to us 200+ Years ago by a group of Men. These rights are not just for the United States. These rights are the PERSONAL Responsibilities of every man, Women and Child to take and uphold. These rights are interconnected. When one is taken and "Interpreted". Others will soon be "Interpreted" changed and determined for us. That is were personal responsibility starts.

Personal Responsibilities in this day and age is something of a bitter pill.

People say that they want Freedom. They Want change. But what is the cost. What is the Responsibilities of that freedom. of that change. Maybe we should look back to What our Founding Father Wrote. Start teaching our kids that they were free from there first breath. That no one rules a free person but there Divine Creator and Themselves.

It is our Belief that determines our Responsibilities. It is our Responsibilities that create Change. It is Change that leads to freedom.
