IGNORANCE IS WHERE TYRANNY BEGINS- Ben Franklin

  IGNORANCE IS WHERE TYRANNY BEGINS- Ben Franklin

By Domenick J. Maglio Ph.D. Traditional Realist

 

 

The founding fathers were for the most part self-educated wise men. They studied ancient civilizations to better understand the best form of government that man was able to produce. At the time of our nation’s birth these political leaders were experiencing “enlightenment.” This period was a time of great scientific discoveries. Adam’s Smith’s, The Wealth of Nations and insightful political thinking that shaped our constitutional republic. 

 

The colonists were citizens of the most powerful nation in the world, Great Britain. The colonies were settled and developed with little assistance from England. These colonists were brave and independent people who built their homesteads and fortunes through their own initiative, sweat and courage. The British government practically provided no services of government support. These colonists were rugged individualists who built the foundation of our great country.

 

When King George III started to view the American colonies as his assets to drain to support his misguided military policies in Europe. American colonists began to slowly rebel. Initially most colonists were proud to be Englishmen and felt they should be respected as such. When King George III increased his oppressive edicts, the colonists fought back against them. As it became clearer to the colonists that they were going to be treated as second class citizens, they banned together to fight for their rights and freedom. They did this against all odds.

 

Amazingly, the colonists won the American Revolution. Immigrants from all over the world struggled and suffered to make a new life in our free nation. These immigrants knew there was freedom and opportunity in America but little government assistance. They came anyway. 

There was no concept of a welfare state for the history of America emphasized freedom of opportunity not handouts. These new arrivals worked incessantly to better their status in their new country and gain the respect of other Americans. The melting pot is still the equalizer in the USA. All ethnic groups who entered the country had the freedom to keep their cherished traditions while adapting the heritage of America. 

 

The U.S. was and is the land of opportunity. It has had its ups and downs like any other country. Wars, depressions, epidemics, personal tragedies have happened, but we came together to endure and conquer these difficult periods. Most of us understood it was with God’s help and blessing that we would be victorious in these situations. 

 

The establishment of our constitutional republic by our pragmatic and learned founders was inspired by Godly individuals who understood freedom was more valuable that any government’s false promises and gifts. Government handouts taken from responsible citizens and giving to complaining slackers is un-American. Our free market economy provides every citizen the opportunity and means to increase their fortune through earnings, savings and freedom to  make decisions. 

 

America has never been a utopian nation. Rather it is the freest on earth that is in the midst of losing it, not to a conquering power but through an “Invasion Within.” A powerful elite group of bureaucratic officials, the media (social and news) and corporate heads have joined together to create false, ignorant narratives. These Godless (atheist) narratives replace our Godly history, undermining our constitutional republic. 

 

The elites are fanning the flames of fear through the Coronavirus and violent, destructive riots that kill businesses and citizens to intimidate us to accept the loss of freedom and opportunity for safety. Too many of us are becoming weak, self-loving, soulless, evil frauds who will surrender our freedom in exchange for prosperity and security. 

 

As a nation, if we decide to vote to continue murdering another 60 million babies, for the destruction of our Bill of Rights, our checks and balances and allowing government elites to take our hard-earned assets to line their pockets we will lose our freedom. We deserve the horrible outcome: totalitarianism in America! It will open the door for evil running wild.

 

Most righteous citizens want to preserve the “shining beacon on the hill” for all freedom loving people worldwide. We should vote for an imperfect blunt, honestly critical, sarcastic, making good on his promises president. Rejecting him for not following the standards and rules of modern political elites schooled in the art of deception to gain power over the ignorant masses would be insanity. These smuggers may appear reasonable but are stone cold sociopathic crazies seeking power. Vote against tyranny. 

 

The Biblical moral values that are the basis for the establishment of our nation should not be tossed aside for phony self-gratification, the illusion of prosperity and total security deception. These lies are tactics of evil groups that have always roamed the earth. 

 

Vote for freedom and opportunity to level the playing field for all Americans and freedom lovers worldwide.
