Result \u2013 the Declaration of Independence.\u00a0  Building on Magna Carta, that&rsquo;s a document of which the British are  profoundly jealous, and wish they had one.<\/p>\n<p>In  the same sense that a man may be free of any relationships with any woman, or  he may become entangled in one or more relationships, so it is with  nations.\u00a0 A nation that wishes to be  independent may not &ldquo;get into bed&rdquo; with other nations, and still maintain that  independence.\u00a0 It gets messy.\u00a0 Compromises are required, and Independence  erodes at a concomitant pace. <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Wikipedia  defines it this way: &ldquo;<strong>Non-interventionism<\/strong>, the diplomatic policy whereby a nation seeks to avoid  alliances with other nations in order to avoid being drawn into wars not  related to direct territorial self-defense, has had a long history of  popularity in the government and among the people of the United States various  periods in time.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&ldquo;Great&rdquo;  Britain is no longer great, it is no longer sovereign, and it has no real  &ldquo;empire&rdquo; in the historical sense of the term. How did this happen? By a  combination of events, planned in secrecy, and implemented by the enforcement  of entangling treaties and subservience to &ldquo;International Law&rdquo; \u2013 something the  20th Century redefined and is now being perfected.\u00a0 When Great Britain joined the European Union,  their national sovereignty ended with a whisper.\u00a0 The Commonwealth has virtually dissolved and  become a shell of its former glory.\u00a0 And  the Englishman today is less concerned with liberty than he is with his  football (soccer), rising only to express occasional alarm over his  mystification and frustration at all the people around him with dark skin and  strange clothing.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>As the  global power-brokers move into the End Game of bringing the last great nations  to their knees, and imposing World Governance upon that giant of national  sovereignty, the United States of America, we see more and more treaties which  are designed to bind us down to &ldquo;international law&rdquo; when it is impossible to  pass a national law to accomplish the same thing.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>And  then we have members of the Supreme Court using &ldquo;international law&rdquo; as  precedent in American court cases!\u00a0 How  ludicrous is that?<\/p>\n<p>Every  administration since FDR has brought us more treaties and more executive orders  and more deficit spending and more globalization.\u00a0 The party in power is irrelevant.\u00a0 Both major parties are committed to making  sure that the USA is the dominating player in a field where we have no business  even standing, much less playing.<\/p>\n<p>No  one here is saying that America is perfect.\u00a0  But we are saying that the solution to our problems is not something  that is going to be found in International Courts or the General Assembly of  the United Nations.\u00a0 We do not need  people only six months away from cannibalism sitting in judgment on our  laws.\u00a0 We do not need socialists from  Scandinavia ruling on whether our government aid is extensive enough.\u00a0 We do not need Saudis (or any other ragheads)  telling us about how we must practice and promote &ldquo;religious tolerance&rdquo; for  them, but curtail it for our own people.\u00a0  We do not need to see our sons and daughters fighting, bleeding and  dying in <u>unwinnable<\/u> remote wars where there is no legitimate reason for  us to be in the first place.\u00a0 And yet  this inexorable slide toward a one world government has been the determined  agenda of both Democrat and Republican administrations for the past 70 years. <\/p>\n<p>Communism  didn&rsquo;t die \u2013 it just relocated.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s  not like it&rsquo;s a new strategy.\u00a0 The &ldquo;Bread  and Circuses&rdquo; of ancient Rome have become &ldquo;Welfare and Sports&rdquo; of the current  generation.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Even  though every elected politician takes an oath to support and defend the  Constitution of the United States, there is ample support to claim that they  either (A) don&rsquo;t understand simple English; or (B) they are liars and the truth  is not in them.\u00a0 What, in Heaven&rsquo;s name,  does it mean to support and defend the Constitution???\u00a0 It does not, it cannot mean that the  president can make laws, that he can start wars, that he can rule by fiat.<\/p>\n<p>So\u2026  the power brokers are going to do one thing \u2013 consolidate power. It&rsquo;s the same  thing they have done since mankind evolved through the miracle of  Creation.\u00a0 They will act in instinctive  alliance against any attempt on the part of the People to become more free,  more independent.<\/p>\n<p>There  is something you, as an individual can do. <\/p>\n<p>Independence  Day is coming up.\u00a0 Get a copy of the  Declaration of Independence and go stand on the steps of your county courthouse  and read it out loud on Saturday, the 4th of July.<\/p>\n<p>Get  some friends to join you.\u00a0 Better yet,  get the local paper and radio stations involved.\u00a0 See if a local radio station will set up and  let you read it to your whole county, over the air!\u00a0 With volunteer readers, it resonates with the  whole county.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>The  message of the Declaration of Independence is as revolutionary a document as  you can imagine.\u00a0 It states, without  ambiguity, that it is the right of the People to alter or to abolish bad  government, &ldquo;and to institute new government, laying its Foundation on such  Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most  likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0No matter which State you live in, there is a  probability that the People are unhappy with their national government, and  there are those seeking &ldquo;to alter or to abolish&rdquo; it.\u00a0 Some are pressing for Secession.\u00a0 Others want reform.\u00a0 Both are the right of The People, according  to the Declaration of Independence.<\/p>\n<p>Read  it out loud, and then teach its principles to your children and your  grandchildren.\u00a0 Sooner or later, a  generation will rise up that values Freedom more than they value Security.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong><em>&ldquo;The Republic is dead.\u00a0 Long live the Republic!&rdquo;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: right; margin-left: 10px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"vertical\" data-url=\"https:\/\/independentconservativevoters.com\/icv\/2015\/07\/independence-day-2015.html\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you remember the number one, fundamental truth that makes the Declaration of Independence unique in the history of government?\u00a0 It is this: It is the right of the People &ldquo;to alter or to abolish&rdquo; bad government, and to institute in its place better government.
