Conservative Refocus

By Barry Secrest

Isn't it ironic that our most patriotic holiday, aptly called Independence Day, now comes to us at a time when the very fabric of society is trying to determine whether or not they truly wish to be free and independent?  The choice unmistakably exists at present, and yet a large number of confused individuals, it seems, actually lack the forward thinking capability to see the ramifications of their choices.

The core idea from the Liberal Utopians, i.e. Progressives, suggests the desire for a world completely without natural risk, a thing which is totally at odds with Natural Law.  The rueful truth to the Progressives' aims, however, is the greater truth that speaks to the usurpation of a mass grouping of useful idiots and the insidious machinations of a multi-generational Globalist movement which touts a new age, while actually hearkening back to the Dark Ages.

The Leftward would have the Civil Society embark on a journey that will ultimately allow a centralized power the ability to dictate both fairness and outcomes.  Further, this centralized power seeks to supposedly redistribute equalities, as well as to facilitate the supposed smoothing out of wrinkles in both our financial economy as well as our family economies.

In essence, Authoritarianism, often defined as Statism, which is a contrived state of dependence administered by a powerfully centralized Government, would be the natural offshoot of  this simplistic but oft-repeated and yet fatally flawed historical design.  The problem with this line of humanistic thinking flows from a history that is filled to this day with poverty which feeds into hunger, illiteracy which feeds into slavery in all of its myriad forms, and tyranny, being the jealous parent of each.

The US Constitution Versus Globalism

The one foundational precept which an outrageously successful America has based the largest part of Her success upon is a document that sets down as inalienable the rights of the individual in pursuit of his or her free will against a centralized Government's designs.  These rights flow directly from the edicts of none other than man's Creator.  As a universally revered document, the US Constitution, as many have surmised, has been under all forms of assault of late, and these assaults both should and have sounded an alarm to a large number of Americans, while a lesser but very vocal number, many in leadership positions, have sought to intensify these often ad hominem attacks on individual rights.
