Ronald Reagan justifiably earned the nickname: The Great Communicator – and it is unashamedly from that that I quote and paraphrase part of his Final Address on 11th January 1989 in much of what follows. It also has great resonance when read in conjunction with my preceding post.

Currently the undemocratic order of things means that through more and more rules and regulations and confiscatory taxes, the government is taking more of our money, more of our options, more of our freedom, more of our culture and more of our freedom of speech. Almost all the world’s constitutions are documents in which governments tell the people what their privileges are – and where the constitution does not, legislation fills in the gaps.

People need to be reminded that that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.

A revolution is required and it can quite easily – and peacefully – be enacted with three little words: ‘We the people’. ‘We the People’ tell the government what to do; it doesn’t tell us. ‘We the People” are the driver; the government is the car. ‘We the people’ decide where it should go, by what route, and how fast.

Wherever one looks on/in the media – be that social or mainstream – all that is seen or heard is people complaining about ‘government’; yet it appears very, very few seem to do anything about the problem, but complain.

Because of the fact that our liberties contract as government expands it is time that ‘We the people’ put up our hands, palm outwards, and said: ‘Stop!’ – and in so doing took a long hard look at this – and adopted it!

It is only by that do ‘We the people’ regain our freedom.
