Tom Tancredo in Congress is the lone voice in the political wilderness, screaming for answers no one is willing to give. (Again: no major publication reports that story, either, other than WorldNetDaily.com!) There is no echo from the Senate - just the muffled silence of screams from the other side of a padded cell wall.
Liberty - the very soul of America, both as an idea and as a great nation, the greatest nation ever to grace this earth (not because of its "might" but because of its Liberty!) is locked up in a comfortable, padded cell inside the insane asylum that this world has become.
Liberty has all the amenities it could ask for. It has Cable TV. It has video games. It has porn on demand. It has access to even "uncomfortable" information on the Internet. It has lip service from public officials, elected as well as appointed. Movies are being made about her, showing her both while she's on the march - and in ignominious decline. Liberty even has a statute in New York harbor. Countless businesses are named after her. She has a currency named after her. As a word, she is much in demand to this very day, especially during political campaigns by parties from both sides of the aisle.
Just a little twitch of the body of America, maybe just as much as a wince from the pain of the stabbing knife as it penetrates the outer layers of its skin could deflect the knife's path, could make it miss its intended target - and turn the entire assault into a mere flesh wound!
But, Liberty is numb from its extended exposure to the comforts of modern-day American life. During her public school career, she has been on Prozac and other anti-depressants. She does not dare to rip the insidious IV out of her veins as she stares, mesmerized, at her various TV screens blaring of foreign "threats" such as "Saddam Hussein", the "insurgency in Iraq", the "nuclear missiles of North Korea", or China's meteoric rise in the world economy (courtesy, by the way, of several US administrations in a row, which supported CFR-induced chimeras of "globalism" and "free trade").
Go to your nearest movie rental place and check out a movie called "The Green Dragon." It's about the fall of Saigon - the end of freedom in Vietnam.
Two little Vietnamese refugee kids make it to America, and the boy befriends a black cook who shows him how to express his love for freedom in a mural he is secretly painting on the wall of the cafeteria behind a large curtain.
Toward the end of the movie, there is a scene that shows the daily hustle and bustle of Vietnamese refugees in the camp going through their lives. Suddenly, the voice of a radio announcer is heard over the camp's intercom system, reporting that Saigon fell to the Communist army of the Vietcong.
Upon hearing this, an old Vietnamese woman breaks down in the middle of the square, sobbing, pleading, her hands stretched out to heaven as she cries out from the center of her soul, mourning the loss of her beloved country.
I don't want to cry like that.
I don't want you to have to cry out like that!
Once America, the country that once stood for real freedom and individual Liberty is gone - she will be gone forever. Do you think you can get her back if you don't even fight for her now?
Liberty does not reside in the US Constitution. She does not reside in the minds of the justices of the united states supreme court. She literally flees from the minds of most of those who make it to Washington's halls of power and influence. By the time they get there, they are hopelessly corrupted.
If she resides anywhere at all, it resides - in your heart!!
