Are you a frog or a patriot?
The frog in a pot is a very popular tale about a frog that rests in a pot of water that is warmed slowly. Frogs normally won’t go into boiling water. They’ll jump out and keep themselves away from very hot water.
But, if placed in a tub of water at normal temperature that is being heated slowly, according to the anecdote, they don’t react and end up getting cooked in the boiling water.
The moral of the frog story goes something like this: letting small and seemingly harmless wrongs slip, could be bad for you. It basically tells you to not be complacent about minor changes that usually seem harmless but add up to something very bad.
I would like for each of us to look at what has happened over the last 20-40 years. What constitutional liberties have been taken away from us because of our compliance? Let think about it.
The First Amendment is about freedom of speech. Over the last 40 years we have been programed to watch what we say. Political correctness has become the norm, and most Americans live in a state of fear that keeps them from sharing their opinion.
Churches are closed, while abortion clinics can remain open.
When it comes to the Second Amendment, one need only observe what's happening around the country. Don't think that it is not happening here in Michigan, because the bathwater is perfect.
Regarding the Third Amendment, California and New York have all but become a police state.
The Fourth Amendment is violated by constant digital surveillance. Many say it's for our protection, but maybe I could enjoy the hot tub instead of just a bath.
The Fifth and Sixth Amendments work together. If they can do it to the President, they can do it to anyone.
The Seventh Amendment only works if the jury knows the Constitution and the law. Civil education has disappeared from our schools
The Eighth Amendment is supposed to protect the rights of the accused and forbid the use of cruel and unusual punishment.
However, the Supreme Court’s determination that what constitutes “cruel and unusual” should be dependent on the “evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society” leaves us with little protection in the face of a society lacking in morals altogether.
I can stay in the hot tub a little longer. It won’t hurt.
The Ninth Amendment provides that other rights not specified in the Constitution are retained by the people. Popular sovereignty—the principle that the power to govern flows upward from the people rather than downward from the rulers—has been turned on its head by a centralized federal government that sees itself as supreme.
As for the Tenth Amendment’s reminder that the people and the states retain every authority that is not otherwise mentioned in the Constitution, that assurance has long since been rendered moot by the centralized Washington, D.C., elite.
At this point I am guessing you are in one of two places. You are enjoying your life in such a state of denial that you don’t even know you are being boiled alive, or you are a patriot looking for other patriots to stand with.
If you are the latter, join us on the call next Tuesday, October 13, at 8:00 p.m. and learn how to be part of am engaged grassroots army fighting to restore our liberties.
