WHAT IS A DECLARATIONIST?
The
Declaration of Independence is this republic’s foundation & guiding
light. It is the best document ever written defining the roles of the
individual vs. the roles of the government.
A
“ Declarationist” is one who believes in the tenets of the Declaration
of Independence which explains the primacy of the individual over any
collective, i.e. no collective force (government) has the right to
deprive any individual of his rights to life, liberty, property, or
pursuit of happiness.
We
are all born with natural rights, due to the fact that we are human
beings, and that is a contradiction and denial of the idea that our
rights come from government—indeed, proper government derives its power
from “the consent of the governed”. The exact opposite of what we
observe today. The government behemoth crushes dissenting individuals.
Unlike Orwell’s “Animal Farm”, some animals are not supposed to have superior rights than others.
Our
Founding Fathers (much better educated, wiser, & rational than
“leaders” today) endeavored to fashion a document which could
control/leash the government Beast through checks & balances in
order to protect & uphold individual rights—the U.S. Constitution.
Unfortunately
the Founders’ noble efforts have been undone—the Constitution has been
altered, revised, misinterpreted, twisted & warped to such a degree
that its simple, straight-forward wording might as well be pig-latin and
a panel of government 9 black robed RAPACIOUS HARPIES (thank you
Patrick Henry) are declared to be the final arbiters of its meaning.
Individuals
were meant to be left alone to live their lives as they see fit as long
as they do not violate another’s individual rights. They were to be
allowed to rise or fall according to their own efforts, merit, and
achievement and that led to a great, civilized, imminently successful
country that enjoyed great respect and envy.
Once
those rational standards were breeched and betrayed disaster loomed.
Coddling neer-do-wells (welfare state); allowing/encouraging 3rd
world immigration; neglecting border security; instigating cultural
Marxist tactics/principles into our institutions, especially education;
lowering standards everywhere; allowing the political sector to become
completely corrupted with no transparency or accountability; engaging in
preemptive, unconstitutional wars from which we have gained nothing but
death, destruction, debt, & global enemies; all & much more
have brought us to the very brink of economic and cultural
ruin/disaster/collapse.
All
the things Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry and the other grand
dissenters gave their all to avoid are upon us. The Declaration of
Independence was our start & our foundation, nothing less than a
return to those sane, rational, sound tenets can save us.
There
are many who call themselves Conservatives but how many willing to face
the ugly truth of what that term has come to mean? That is why I am a
“DECLARATIONIST”………I know I am not alone, but how many of us are there,
really?
