Opposition in All Things

This is a Fundamental Principle !

I find this current move by the three branches of government to socialism to be in keeping with the founder’s views. How can I say that? It’s simple; they understood the nature of man, government, and history and said that if we didn’t hold on to our freedoms they would be taken away. And that is exactly what is being done. It is the frog in the pot story all over. To cook a frog you put it in a pot of cold water and bring the temperature up slowly. The water gets hot; the frog gets warm, stays nice and cozy and soon its cooked. We were put into the pot before the New Deal but that’s when the temperature started getting turned up. There are now 3 and 4 generations of families on welfare, we have cultured a ‘rights’ society rather than one of obligations. We excuse bad financial decisions in business at taxpayers expense and have ravaged the monetary wealth of the nation.

The fundamental principle of Opposition in All Things has a close relative in the Law of the Harvest. The founders knew that the Law of the Harvest is not a law you can dispose of; it determines our economic state from the power we lend the government. You cannot escape it, you cannot ignore it, and it operates with certainty and consequence. The shortest harvest cycle is one of hours for bacteria, days for some animal gestation, nine months for human gestation, a hundred and twenty days or less for a commercial crop. The harvest result is a direct effect of the initial and subsequent decisions. There is always some circumstance to impede the work of planting (opposition), tending the business (distractions, opposition, competition) and final harvest. The two are intertwined and operate together to give us the opportunity for work. Now the current government administration wants to take your harvest and say they have the power to give it to someone else. Did you give them that power? I certainly did not. The initial decisions have been made; keep an eye open for increased inflation, government control, and rationed health care. These are harvest results; the detractions are smooth teleprompter talk, bailouts, and feel good talk about taking care of everyone’s health needs. The cycle for these runs from two to three years before people wake up and see the result.

Remember the fable of the Ant and the Grasshopper.

The Imposed Law of Redistribution is the mantra of the Socialist regardless of which brand of socialism you refer to, this is not a natural law, it is not a God given law. It reads something like this: “I’ll take what you worked for and give it to this person who I think obviously has a greater need than you do”. This is what is happening, not American Capitalism but naked Socialism.

Senator Strom Thurmond wrote this in 1964 to Ezra Taft Benson: ...People need to be reminded that most human beings labor for an incentive - usually either to gain a reward or to avoid the stick of punishment. Where the carrot of profit or gain is removed, the mistake of punishment for failure to produce must be applied to avoid economic collapse and starvation.

Capitalism, or the free enterprise system, is in essence, economic liberty, and it goes hand-in-hand with political liberty. It rests on the basic idea of human rights in property, for where there are no human rights to own property, then there are no other human rights and freedoms. Take away a man's right to own property and you take away his right to be independent, substituting serfdom in place of freedom. As former Supreme Court Justice Whittaker recently pointed out: "Private property rights are the soil in which our concepts of human rights grow and mature."

Today, human rights in property are being restricted and threatened as never before. Much of this is being done in the name of 'social justice' and 'civil rights'. What it all adds up to, however, is an attempt to level all men by government regulation and rule. It is the so-called economic equality, better known as socialism. Socialism can be brought about by government regulation, taxation, and control of property almost as effectively as by outright state ownership of the means of production and distribution.

The American capitalist system is superior by far too any economic system, the world has ever known. Not only as a provided are people with a much higher level of production and wealth, but it has also provided a better distribution of all that has been produced so that more people enjoy more of our abundance than under any other system, including socialism and its blood brother, Communism.

This is evident by the much higher standard of living available to all Americans as opposed to any other people, especially those behind the Iron, Bamboo, and Cactus curtains, where socialism prevails."

The message is nicely set forth in this story; I do not have the source for it.

                                  A Picture of Peace

There once was a king, who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The King looked at all the pictures, but there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between them. One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful towering mountains were all around it.

Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought it was a perfect picture of peace. The other picture had mountains too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky from which rain fell, and in which lightning played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all but one the King looked, he saw behind the waterfall, a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest.

Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture, you know why? "Because,” explained the King, "peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That's the real meaning of peace."

Our message to you is keep the faith, the Constitution is valid, expect to work to keep your freedom. Watch the methods mentioned above. “American Capitalism” is the best way (note, capitalistic greed is not “American Capitalism”), spread the word, join with us; we offer opposition to those who would destroy it and the nation.

Be calm in your heart and commit to work the founders plan.
