From individual rights and liberties, an irrevocable gift from our creator, comes individual responsibility and self-reliance
Democrats Are Traitors to America’s Founding Principles of Freedom and Liberty

This is a difficult article to write; to accuse fellow Americans of being traitors of freedom and their country. We do not do so lightly. Nevertheless, from the vantage point from where we make our observations, we have no choice.

From individual rights and liberties, an irrevocable gift from our creator, comes individual responsibility and self-reliance. Should we deny our responsibility for our own actions and the direction of our own life, should we move from individual self-reliance to dependency on others, or government, we have squandered that irrevocable gift from our creator and handed it over to a collective. We have done so at our own peril.

Many years ago, on the Floor of the House of Representatives, Representative Davy Crocket said this about Congress appropriating money for the widow of a distinguished Naval Officer:



“Mr. Speaker—I have as much respect for the memory of the deceased, and as much sympathy for the sufferings of the living, if suffering there be, as any man in this House, but we must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for a part of the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living. I will not go into an argument to prove that Congress has no power to appropriate this money as an act of charity. Every member upon this floor knows it. We have the right, as individuals, to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress we have no right so to appropriate a dollar of the public moneyâ€
