What we have, that is above our politics!
The Constitution of these United States is a revolutionary document, provided to us citizens of this country to have and to hold tell death do us part. It is the result of inspiration, upheld by the perspiration of all those who flee other systems to live beneath it’s protection, It is our responsibility as it‘s heirs to see that it retains it‘s purity, not sullied by the self interests of minority groups no matter how popular or powerful they are or want to become.
Ever see to the Wall chart of World history, It’s a very interesting device used in schools to give some perspective of the trials and tribulations of people. It clearly depicts the fact, that until this USA there was never been any government or civilization in the history of mankind where Individual liberty was the supreme value. Always and forever there are those who by birth, force or accident of fate have assumed they were the rightful rulers of everyone else.
In every case, the few lived well at the expense of the many. At various crossroads in world history revolutions were started to beat back oppression, fight injustice, or as was most often the case pre 19th century, revolutions had a religious foundation.
Of course there have been periods where greater numbers of people did better than other periods. In those times when one looks closely, the presence of slavery, autocratic hegemony or preceding generations of wars had thoroughly cleansed any opposition, hence good times were tied to the disposition of this or that ruler, and that rulers particular place on a timeline coincident to a recent history of imperialism, slavery, hegemony, or homogeneity of populations (ex. FIJI Islands) due to isolation.
Our Constitution does not allow is to be imperialists, it does not allow us to be slave holders, it sets the separation of powers in place to protect it’s citizens from hegemony. We live in a heterogeneous society; in fact, there has never been another society even close to this. Our gene pool is the most divergent and potentially the most revolutionary. For a revolutionary gene pool to reward all of us, time and a backdrop of Liberty must be present.
There is much encroachment on the Constitution undertaken by despots and dupes. Few voters understand the logical extensions of their leadership’s folly, or the harm being done to the greater body politic.
Politicians and a few % of the electorate are in headlong mode to take this society backwards to another time, another circumstance where the few again rule the many. Where a committee arbitrates opportunity and the wealth of a person’s life is predetermined by the favor of birth, celebrity, or affiliation.
There are many souls enlightened by this fateful time, we did not succumb to the temptation of sharing through appropriation, yet everyday we quietly give our time, money and efforts so that we together may all live well. Ultimately, that we all may continue to Try and be our best, under the protection of this great constitution. |
