To Hell with Nationalism

National pride is one thing, but now that the Senate Finance Committee has voted down the Obama-Care plan, it is time to start systematically deconstructing this golden calf which we have erected around us in the United States.

I am a resident of the State of Washington, born of the State of Oregon, short time resident of the Republic of California, and past resident of the State of Colorado. I live in a region, a state, a city, and county where cultural norms set us apart and define our way of life... smoked salmon and bumper shoots in WA are just as important as Buffalo burgers and snow shovels are in CO... honestly, not many people in WA state own snow shovels, or snow tires/chains for that matter. Regional differences which should be embraced and better understood. We are no melting pot, but a group of liberty minded citizens wanting protection of personal property, protection from foreign invasion, and to be left the hell alone!

For years we have been force fed lies of "pledging allegiance to the flag" for "one nation, indivisible"... The idea that we are indivisible, that WE THE PEOPLE who have granted certain powers to a government for the purpose of universal liberty are not free to challenge said government should they veer off course, is criminal and corrupt!

Nationalism destroys state's rights.
Nationalism erodes individual liberties.
Nationalism kills.

Nationalism is a tool used to sway the people into servitude... If all we know is that we need to be "Good Americans" and that means nothing more than blindly becoming servants of the government - well - it is my hope that any reader of this blog sees the foolishness of this line of thought.

Nationalism is the driving force behind "Big Government", One government mentality, and the driving ideology that leads the consumers of the US to buy the line that it is the job of the president to "pay our mortgages" or "pay for our health care".

This is a lie. A Marxist Lie.

The Federal Government is in disarray. The President is more concerned with pitching in favor of the 2016 Chicago Olympics than the Natural Disaster Flooding that destroyed and damaged a large part of the Atlanta area. Federal approval is in the tank, the people have lost confidence in the government of the United States for good reason, they have failed. The Union is in need of collapse in order for liberty to survive, and with it the corruption of politicians needs to be washed away like a dirty Bourbon Street Sidewalk at 6 AM.

There is hope, real hope. Where the politicians fail, the people succeed. It is WE THE PEOPLE who built this nation. It is the people of the states who make up this Union. It is you and I who are responsible for taking hold of the reigns and emboldening our local and state governments, encouraging them to use their constitutionally protected sovereignty to retake representative powers of, for, and by their people.

Where the US is failing, they are tightening a stranglehold around the neck of the people of this nation... around the necks of the states... and we are all doomed unless we put an end to the idea of Nationalism, Empire building, and One World Government.

I no longer pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States. I no longer fly the stars and stripes.

I fly a different flag:


and as I have stated in a previous post:

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the original intent of this nation, and to the individual liberty endowed upon us, for which IT stands, representing a nation free from tyranny, a people banded together against such, under Nature's God, indivisible, ensuring the continued struggle for liberty and true justice under the rule of natural law, for all.

Cult of Personality - The Battle for Liberty is Underway

How many of you have heard of the "I Pledge" video?

It was released on January 20th, just after Obama's inauguration. I cannot believe how late I am in commenting on this, but in the wake of Obama's Hail Mary "Lie" to congress, and his indoctrination speech to the children, it is very relevant as a MINDSET of the administration.

It is a moving and very compelling propaganda puff piece, with all your favorite actors and actresses promising to drive Hybrids, stop drinking bottled water, only flush when they do a two-sie, and most importantly to be nice to old people...

It is a pledge of good service and Americanism... right?

Watch for yourself, and tell me what you find that just POPS out at you... anything odd?



I'll tell you what I found odd...

"I pledge to be of service to Barack (kiss) Obama (kiss)" - Red Hot Chili Pepper Guitarist, as he kissed his biceps for the newly inaugurated Obama.
"I pledge to be a SERVANT to our President" - Demi Moore
"Together we can, together we are, together we can be the change" - spoken in a monotone chorus by all

The concepts of the overall message were positive - but for a reason... to lead and persuade the viewer, to correlate the acts of kindness to acts of obedience to the Federal Government, and the President.

Wiki explains simply that Cult of Personality (other than an awesome political rock song from the 80's) is:

A cult of personality arises when a country's leader uses mass media to create an idealized and heroic public image, often through unquestioning flattery and praise. Cults of personality are often found in dictatorships and Stalinist governments.

A cult of personality is similar to general hero worship, except that it is created specifically for political leaders. However, the term may be applied by analogy to refer to adulation of religious or non-political leaders.

The use of celebrities, the message of servitude and obedience, the general acceptance that we are all one people united under Obama - It is the Cult of Personality...

For those of you who complained that we were all making a fuss about Obama's speech to the school children, watch this video again... and know that his speech was intended to give out a "homework assignment" where the students would perform an act of servitude "for the president"... to do ANYTHING in service of the president is the absolutely UN-AMERICAN... The President serves US, not the other way around... we work to serve our community, our state, and our nation in support of the Constitution - NOT in support of cult worship of a "political hero".

THIS is what scares those of us who are aware...
THIS is why we gather and support the TEA Parties...
THIS is why we rally behind Joe Wilson, R-SC, for speaking out against our King
THIS is why we want to preview and approve what this political cult figure head says to our children...
THIS is why we must not surrender or compromise on ANY MORE government Expansion...
and THIS is why we must, WE MUST, cut the head of this Leviathan - so NO PRESIDENT present or future has the power to enslave the citizens of this nation.

The TEA Parties, the Liberty loving Americans, and the now angry mob have aided in damaging the idol status of this president, his policies of Socialism, and have begun revealing publicly the agenda of his political party.

We must NOT allow the Republicans to fill the void with more of the same either... If we do, 2010 will be a waste, and all our efforts at the grassroots level will be for NOTHING.

I pledge to FIGHT tyranny, to stand up to my oppressors - Republican OR Democrat - to always let my voice be heard in FAVOR of Liberty, and to NEVER pledge servitude to ANY man as if he were a king!
