Spectators and “takers” are most often in that group who think every problem has a government solution. They have been told that the government will handle the problem, and it is in their best interests to believe those lies.
The givers, the ones who know the government is the problem, not the solution, can be found at the river's edge filling sandbags. Educated and warned, they now are doing what they can to deal with the threat. Over and over ordinary citizens solve the problem and save the day, as they always do.
Our liberty is at stake and we know there are many willing to take our liberty if we let them. They have already seized a good portion, and keep in mind, every dollar they seize is a dollar's worth of our liberty. Every law that they pass causes a greater or lesser injury to our liberty. When is the last time a law was passed that increased your liberty?
The educational process has done its work. Enough people are now aware of the danger as warnings are posted that the threat has reached our shores. People are assembling all over this country to “fill sandbags” and give any contribution they can. They conclude that a political party system cannot fix this problem. The Tea Party people who drive across the country to march in parades and stand in groups of hundreds of thousands – perhaps millions - to hear like-minded speakers are doing what Americans do best: They act.
The stakes are high. We can rebuild a levy or a simple building, and we can ensure an oil spill is resolved, even if it takes ten years. We will save every bird we can because it is in our DNA to set a thing right. But the loss of our liberty is a much greater thing - a man-caused disaster of epic proportion. When liberty is gone, there isn't much else left – except more government.
Americans can stop this wholesale assault on liberty if all who love liberty act quickly.
If we turn our gaze toward our own population we can see liberty rising. Our own government won't do a thing to save our liberty – in fact they only know how to take it away – so now is the time for us to save it. No one will do it for us. Go, Tea Party!
