A DE-EVOLUTION OF AMERICA- THE QUIET TAKEOVER OF AMERICA

[Guest guest]

A De-Evolution of Leadership - The Quiet Takeover of America

 

Leaders lead, tyrants rule and servants serve. Where did we lose

sight of that distinction?

 

 

 

Place yourself in this hypothetical situation.

 

You are very successful and your time is in constant demand. It is no

longer cost effective (or very much fun,) to shop, cook, register the

car, pick up the cleaning, pay the bills and hunt for parking spaces.

 

Your situation DEMANDS you hire or contract the following;

 

Personal Assistant

Accountant/Business Manager

Lawyer

Housekeeper/Home Manager

Family Nutritionist/Cook

Tutor/Home School Teacher

Driver/Cheauffer

All is well in your life. Your children are happy and well adjusted.

Jimmy is very bright, eager to learn and enthusiastic about every new

experience. His rampant curiosity is occasionally annoying, but you

recognize it as an indication of genius. Your spouse and children

often accompany you on your trips. There is always time for

sightseeing and camping, which the family enjoys. Life is certainly

good.

 

One day your doctor looks at your genetic profile and decides you

have a marginally higher risk for high blood pressure than average.

He orders you onto a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet. When you fail to

follow his orders he instructs your housekeeper to stop allowing you

certain foods. It is, after all, for your own good.

 

The housekeeper forbids the cook to prepare any food with more than

1% fat. Therefore, no more bacon and eggs for you, even in your own

home. When you try to bring some home and cook them for yourself, the

housekeeper confiscates them and makes you go to your room. It is,

after all, for your own good.

 

Your accountant informs you that you can't afford to take a trip to

Bali next year because he has given himself a raise. Your lawyer says

you can't afford to take a trip to France next month because she has

given herself a raise.

 

They need the additional money so that they can hire more staff and

build bigger offices to better take care of you.

 

You are either too busy or too preoccupied with your perfect life to

pay much attention. Besides, you hired them to look after things so

you could have a life in the first place. They are trusted

professionals and know what is in your best interest.

 

Jimmy's tutor loses patience because Jimmy won't sit still and be

quiet. The tutor calls the doctor and they medicate Jimmy to calm him

down. When you attempt to intervene they threaten to take away all of

your children. It is, after all, for the good of the children.

 

Your doctor decides that your afternoon cigar is not good for you,

and tells you to quit. The next week smoke detectors are installed

throughout your house. It is, after all, for your own good.

 

All agree that your ownership of guns is far too dangerous. What if

Jimmy should find one? Jimmy, however loved to shoot at cans on the

family camping trips. He's a crack shot and has serious Olympic

ambitions. When your personal assistant learned of this, however, she

decided you must be an unfit parent. Jimmy was drugged even more

deeply into submission because of his 'special needs' and placed in

foster care. It is after all, in his best interest.

 

They hired a security guard, one deputy Barney Fife, Jr., to restore

your feeling of security since they took away your firearms. Of

course Barney soon made it clear that he really wasn't under any

obligation to protect you. He also worked for a few thousand other

people so he couldn't even promise to come if you did call.

 

Last week the spy software they installed on your computer alerted

them that you had been visiting dangerous and subversive Websites.

Today, you find your access to the NRA, ACLU, The Washington Times,

National Review, and many of your favorite sites blocked, for your

own good.

 

Your doctor, lawyer, accountant and tutor have a secret meeting and

make a few more decisions. They don't like your driver. He has been

your best and most trusted friend for 30 years. He has 1 Medal of

Honor, two phD's, a wife and three kids and works cheap. He is loyal

to you, however, and not to them. They decide it would be in the best

interests of all if they fired him and replaced him with one of

their 'professionals.' Your new driver will have strict orders about

where you may and may not travel.

 

You finally reach your breaking point. You don't know how you let it

get this bad, but enough is enough. How did these one-time servants

become your so-called leaders? Your lawyers, accountants and doctors

were once bound by a strict contract. Now, however, they are acting

outside that contract and you are suppoosed to accept it because it

is for your own good.

 

You tell them, you, " aren't going to take it any more, " and, " they

are all fired! "

 

They then inform you that they control all of your assets, and most

every other aspect of your life.

 

Thanks to them your once prosperous accounts are deeply in debt.

 

If you don't like it, too bad, they won't give you any more of your

money. They might even lock you in your room for a long time. They

do, after all, know what's in your best interest. Isn't that why you

hired them in the first place?

 

It's your own fault for letting them get this deeply entangled in

your daily affairs.

 

Now please sit down, shut up and act like the mindless lemming they

want you to be. Besides, they have guns and you don't!

 

If this sounds like nightmare fiction, or extremism talking, wake up

and taste the tyranny.

 

The 'you' in the story is you, me, and every other law-abiding

citizen, tired of watching our natural and Constitutional rights

erode one paragraph at a time. 'Them' in the story, are what our so-

called 'servants in government' have become.

 

We were once a noble example of the future that the founders

envisioned in their Great American Dream.

 

Today, however, we huddle defenseless in glass boxes. We have to ask

permission to spend what little allowance they give us from our own

earnings.

 

We have never committed a crime, lied to them or given them any

reason to mistrust us, yet they question our every action. We are

searched when we travel, they read our e-mails, tap our phones,

confiscate our nail clippers invade our private lives from bedroom to

nursery, and generally treat us like the criminals they swore to

protect us from.

 

Once great masters of our own domain, we have become mere pawns on

someone else's political chessboard. And they are doing it all for

our own good.

 

Is America still the greatest country in the world? You bet your

Stars and Stripes she is!

 

We fought and will continue to fight to defend her.

 

It's unfortunate that many of our once loyal and trusted servants did

not evolve into leaders. Instead they 'devolved' into slaves to their

own lust for power and control. It's more unfortunate, however, that

we allowed it to happen.
