Yesteryear and Pence’s endorsement of Dan Coats.
I have said before, there is no difference in the affairs of yesteryear or the affairs of today accept time. Facts are stubborn things. That saying is just as true when Reagan said and just as true when John Adams said it nearly 200 years previous to Reagan. When John Adams was a delegate to the Continental Congress, he was cited as writing in his diary that the Congress was split into thirds:
1/3 Tories or those who supported the Crown
1/3 caught on the fence trying to figure out who is right or who to believe
1/3 Patriots who were viewed by the Tories, and according to John Adams, as “the violent people.”
The Congress was torn between remaining loyal to the crown and declaring independence, and thus, declaring the virtues of Liberty. The fear was of making a small war into a large and unwinnable war. However, we all know how history unfolded.
Today, we may not be considering ramifications of defying the Crown, but we are in a war of ideology of which the consequences could be quite severe and as game changing as the Revolutionary War. Today, we are in the thrills of what could and more than likely will be considered the 2nd American Revolution. Once again, there are three factions:
1/3 of the population on the side of Marx and well known as the Progressive caucus
1/3 stuck in the middle and not sure who to believe by either ignorance of the facts or through subtle manipulation by the Progressive media that takes sides by either introduction of editorials disguised as news stories or flat out obvious editorial bias.
1/3 of the population, known quite well as “Tea Partiers”, who believe that freedom, both economic and personal, are both intertwined together and inseparable. One does not exist without the other.
The correlations that can be drawn are numerous, including the fact that the Tea Party is being demonized by today’s Tories, the Progressives, as radical and unrealistic and some cases being characterized as violent extremists. Of course, all of this is nothing new if you are a student of history.
I understand and hope that others begin to understand that there is an ongoing war of ideology going on, not only in America, but the world-wide. What we do know is that if we go back 500 years there were no rich countries only rich sovereigns and those surrounding them. When society began adopting the blessings of Liberty, especially economic, the world changed and a strong middle class emerged while the poverty class shrank. The more Liberty/Freedom granted, the more prosperous a Nation became.
Current evidence can be had by looking directly at China as they have adopted more capitalistic ideas and thus have formed a rather large middle class over the last few decades. Adopting some free market principles has allowed China to prosper. However, as China begins to move more right, we begin to move more left and suffer the effects thereof. Capitalism/Free Markets are not perfect and will not eliminate poverty. On the other hand socialism has not done the job either and in many cases produces results exactly the opposite of its intended goal, making everyone equal and prosperous. Liberty and free markets, by their very nature, encourages individuals to rise out of poverty and creates a large and healthy middle class while keeping poverty at a minimum level. Socialism entraps the poverty stricken and keeps them dependent upon the state, never to rise out of their class.
Mike Pence is a courageous leader of Liberty. It is reflected not only in his voting record, but also in his numerous public speeches. He receives my whole hearted support and personal endorsement. From reviewing any of his current speeches he seems to understand, if not ever directly stated, that we are in a war of ideology, a war for the minds of the Nation. This does beg the question:
How can someone so astute to the blessings of freedom, both economic and personal, endorse a man like Dan Coats for US Senate, especially when there are two great Reagan Republicans running in the race?
The 2nd American Revolution is upon us. The war for our hearts and minds is and has been waged. We are spilt and Liberty in many respects is on the run and up against insurmountable odds, just like the 1st Revolution. The last type we need in Washington is more Dan Coats. The Republican Liberty Caucus has endorsed Hostettler, although I would not shed a tear if Stutzman won. Both are great candidates and would serve the Sovereign State of Indiana well. So, how can or can anyone justify Mike Pence’s endorsement of Dan Coats as he well knows, if not admittedly, that there is a war on for our minds.
