Our Unholy Democracy
The thoughtless sanctification of the US Constitution and the democracy therein defined has elevated popular opinion above the values that created and defined this nation. A reverence beyond reason has bestowed power and authority that equals any tyrants in history.
This tyranny of majority justifies itself with weak or non-existent reason. Truth is also declared and defined without justification. Majority values are routinely foisted on those with different values. Equality of our liberty is bastardized becoming equality of individuals. Behavior or substances are given dominion over our minds and bodies with an obvious contempt for the entire species.
A ubiquitous message of danger to societal well being and popular values is used as justification to illegally control personal behavior unique to the individual. All major political parties accept this power as arrogantly as nobility accepted divine right. No viable political alternative to this treason exists because of a life long ‘education’ that ignores personal liberty, individuality, and limits to government authority.
Liberty created and defined this country a decade before there was a constitution. Liberty is the law of this land. Liberty existed before and it exists above this government, its people and even their favorites. This should not have to be said because it is self-evident. The Declaration of Independence establishes this ‘truth’. It is the Founding document of the USA, NOT the Constitution. It has never been amended or replaced.
The Constitution was created to defend our Liberty, not to define it. The stirring words defining the right and reason for this nation are unequaled and unequivocal. Our vote comes from Liberty. Liberty does not come from the vote. Let’s let our neighbor believe and behave as he sees fit. His rights are equal, not his values and beliefs. That is the real law.
