Does the U.S. Need a Regime Change?

"In 2016, I'm going to leave it all out on the field. Wherever there's an opportunity, I'm going to take it." ~ Obama

The idea of regime changes did not start on Obama's watch, and the evil dictators who must be removed from power were not always evil dictators. There is sufficient information to research regarding the history of U.S. relations with various countries and their leaders. The U.S. has been instrumental in bringing many of these supposed mad men to power, then later calling for a regime change, and the eventual destruction of their one time allies.

So what changes? Like other matters of money, resources, and power influences, when a player is no longer needed, or when they are conveniently needed for other purposes, they are declared an evil dictator and become expendable. I'm not going to rehash all the specific histories and examples of U.S. betrayal and global manipulation. What?!? U.S. betrayal and global manipulation? Is the U.S. in need of a regime change?

The Sun is Setting

There is a stirring in America. The sun has long since passed its apex and will soon be setting on the days of acquiescence. And with the end of these days, political and intellectual servitude will become ghosts of the past. I dread, yet welcome, the dawn of the new day. For this new day will determine whether my children, and my grand children yet to be born, will become free men and women. Free to pursue their happiness and determine their destiny. It is my firm belief that the coming new day will bring a struggle not seen in this country in over a century. From the most basic of relationships between individuals to the more complex of relationships between the states themselves and those relationships with the federal government will be strained. The coming day’s struggle will shape the future of our country and the future for our posterity. Will this country turn away from our present course, toward returning to the principles of our Founders? Or will individual liberty and sovereignty meet a violent end in the face of tyranny?

For the past 100 years, through gradual yet steady encroachments, the liberty fought for by our Founding Fathers, has been eroded. It has been eroded to the point where the modern American hasn’t experienced true liberty nor could possibly provide an adequate example of it. Notice I didn’t say “our liberty.” I didn’t do so because we have yet to earn it and I’d argue, at this point we don’t truly deserve it. In Common Sense, Thomas Payne wrote, “What we obtain, too cheap, we esteem too lightly:--'Tis dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to set a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as Freedom should not be highly rated.” We don't experience the liberty established by our Founding Fathers because we didn’t endure the struggle for it nor have we been adequate stewards of it. For had we, the country we live in today would be a much different place and this writing would not be warranted. But as it is, we have held the ideal of liberty with little esteem. For many of us have stood atop the mountain, proclaiming how free we are, while ignoring the statists gradually chipping away at the mountain’s foundation.

Are You Radicalized?

Hardly a day passes without a media story regarding the radicalization of persons who are being deemed "domestic terrorists". The question that follows is always, "how were they radicalized"? The answer to this is always "the internet", with focus on social media.

Oh, that evil internet! It must be controlled! Otherwise, we will have radicalized domestic terrorists running amok in America! Shivers!

Mark my words, new legislation to control the internet and limit your freedom of speech is not far away.

Pardon me for getting side tracked so quickly. We'll come back to the internet issue. Let's focus on the topic of radicalization. Typically, we think of someone who is sympathizing with Islamic extremists, but how does our government see it?
