The last November 4th presidential election was one that glorified a Keynesian market. It was a free market fraud in which the government fooled its people and the people listened like sheep. It was a culture in which when asked to jump by its President, the public replied by asking how high. It saddened me to see how a public, who had so little trust in the previous administration, was oh so willing to throw all its eggs in one basket with the new one. Little did they realize that in a Republic such as the United States, the agents never matter, but the system will always be inherently dominant.

No matter who is president in this country, if the laws state that “x” amount of taxes will be taken from you, then “x” amount of taxes will forever be taken from you. We seem to have developed a culture that absolutely adores precedent. It is almost like a faulty appeal to authority; however, the authority has become history. Just because a former president glorified the Federal Reserve, for example, doesn’t mean it was good for the people or markets to begin with. This belief that an elitist oligarchy should reign over the “dumb majority” has lead us to something short of a police state, except the police in this picture is the IRS and Ben Bernanke. What agents have done was created a system that that they knew would never be contested by the public because the public has never questioned the intelligence of said agents.

We have cringed when President Bush bailed out industries, but flirted President Obama’s bailout of AIG to the public. We praised it at first. In fact, we liked it so much that we even wanted a Stimulus Package; and what a hell of a Stimulus Package he gave us. Essentially, we, as a people and citizenry of the United States, allowed the government to control the flow of money to failing markets simply because we “felt bad” for all the poor union workers who couldn’t afford their second homes in the Poconos; or simply because Barack Obama, the hip, new, cool President of the United States said so.

That was the mentality almost a year ago. And for a while, we had hope and faith. But, what we didn’t know was that it was false hope and the same kind of faith a desperate man would have in changing a prostitute to a clean woman. And never before have I seen sheep flock to their television screens, eating up the words of the President like it was candy rubbing against their tongues after a salty meal. We once thought that to stimulate the economy we needed government. We once thought that to do anything in life, we needed government to hold our hands in the process. That was almost a year ago.

Today, however, we have seen the true colors of the White House shine in all its aura. We had cabinet officials refusing to pay taxes, Timothy Geithner having to defend himself when the market slipped below 6,500 points, and Ben Bernanke evading questions about the Federal Reserve. This was enough to prop up a few intelligent people who refused to eat the same spoiled candy that the sheep next door were consuming. Barack Obama can brag as much as he wants about his stimulus fraud; however the Dow Jones recently went up to over 10,000 points. Why? Because of private investments. People have learned that they can make money without government intervention and that Obama’s foray with economics was nothing more than a wasteful façade for his reelection campaign, considering that the objectives of the “Stimulus Package” do not take effect until 2010-2011. Now we have Liberty Candidates; now we have individuals who truly believe in this country’s freedoms arising to the frontlines. This is the new, emerging culture that America is harvesting. It is the renegade society that has been much needed since Barry Goldwater’s death.

No longer is the majority of America “sheople” who are blindly giving in to big government’s false advertising. With Barack Obama’s ratings at an all time low and half the country disapproving of his administration while a whopping majority is criticizing him, this new culture must be weary of the struggles to come. We the people cannot stray away from the principles of which this country was founded. We cannot mask neo-conservatism with the virgin ideals of liberty and natural rights. We cannot afford to give government more power in the name of domestic, foreign, or economic security. We cannot transform this country into the police state that many on the Left would like it to be. The opportunity is here and so are the individuals. It is time to take our Republic back.
