THE AMERICAN DREAM
What makes the ” American Dream” so special? It is because it is an individual dream! Our Founders understood this principle; they knew our rights were not guaranteed from government, far from it! Our Founders declared this boldly in their statement, ” We are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, and among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”
This belief leads them to revolt against a tyrannical government. How suffocating was this government, lets read the words of the “Father of the Constitution” James Madison: ” The people of the U.S. owe their independence and their liberty, to the wisdom of descrying in the minute tax of 3 pence on tea, the magnitude of evil comprised in the precedent. Let them exert the same wisdom, in watching against every evil lurking under plausible disguises, and growing up from small beginnings.”
After God’s giving victory, they set out to form a ” more perfect union ” with the Declaration of Independence as the under girding of the foundation. They gave birth to the world’s first truly Constitutional Representative Republic! We became a ” nation of laws not of men”. We are again under attack in the most insidious way, from within! A soft tyranny of democracy, a benevolent government that will truly control our lives in the womb to beyond the tomb.
I had to ask myself and now all of us, ” do we have the courage and fortitude our Founders had!” They, knowing their Creator was in control of everything, had no fear to risk it all! they mutually pledged their Life , Fortune and sacred Honor. It was not mere words, those 56 men did lose more than we could imagine, but NEVER their sacred Honor! In not losing their word the gained a NATION! Again, I ask, do we have the courage to put it all on the line for the generations to follow? History books will be written about this time, where are we going to found in that discussion? I say it is our Destiny to be bold, to be strong, to be courageous, it is OUR TIME!
