INTOLERABLE ACTS

“Friends! Brethren! Countrymen!–That worst of plagues, the detested tea, shipped for this port by the East India Company, is now arrived in the harbor.” -Boston, November 29, 1773

Intolerable Acts. The very sound of such words reeks of a tyrannical villainy that exceeds the “run of the mill” oppression normally associated with a bloated, out of control government. However, it also reeks of something else: A people who believe they deserve better and are unwilling to tolerate the tyranny, regardless of the ramifications of resistance. Despite the insistence from our president otherwise, we descend from a good, decent and independent people. However, our government, unable and unwilling to acknowledge this fact, is re-instituting a policy of Intolerable Acts, and we need only consult our wise ancestors in order to discern the remedy.

MATTERS OF LIFE AND DEATH

“But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.” -2 Chronicles 36:16

Where were you when the line was crossed? Do you know what you were doing when the man who calls himself the President of the United States elevated himself to the status of God? Did you even notice or were you too busy with some other menial task to allow yourself to appreciate this monumental moment? This kind of thing used to happen a lot in ancient times when entire populations were believers in many gods. It’s not so much of an occurrence in the age of reason and monotheism. Declaring yourself to be a god, however, is not quite the same as elevating yourself to the status of THE God. Although, to be fair, the ambition is the same whether you are Caligula or Obama. Behold, the most preposterous, and blasphemous, statement ever made by a President of the United States:

“We are God’s partners in matters of life and death.” – President Barack Obama

THIS IS THE MOMENT OUR MOVEMENT WAS BUILT FOR

I love Star Trek. Whether it be the incomparably brilliant original series or any of the spin-offs, I have always been enchanted by the Gene Roddenberry’s vision of the future. To be sure, its all a bunch of socialist hooey. It’s a godless, collectivist nightmare of rebuilding the Tower of Babel and calling it the United Federation of Planets. It’s built around the pollyannaish pipe-dream of re-uniting all of mankind, with a few other species thrown in for good measure, and “organizing” everyone behind the Federation’s collectivist version of peace and harmony. However, I always found it remarkable that people accepted Roddenberry’s vision of the future without any real back-story of how all of humanity was aligned to the Federation’s universal order. Instead, all we get is a little story about a eugenics war, with millions killed, and some genetically improved super-humans, particularly one called Khan.

WE ARE THE ONES WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.” -President Obama

There is a dangerous consistency to President Barack Obama that, thus far, is proving elusive to many people. This elusiveness, of course, is promoted by a media that marches in lockstep to the wishes of this administration. The recent protests over fraudulent elections in Iran and the President’s belated and lukewarm response is, in fact, quite consistent with his much more aggressive reaction to the ouster of President Manuel Zelaya in Honduras. Understanding the underlying principles that drive President Obama’s actions in both instances is the key to interpreting the diabolical consequences he and his cohorts have in store for us in the United States as they attempt to implement their plans for “social justice.”
