A Jacksonian: UNITED STATES IS A REVOLUTIONARY NATION
America seems to have forgotten what it means to *have* liberty and freedom. And has forgotten the dear cost of that fight... the Universality of the Rights of Man as Individuals was not something that was conceived of as a mere 'talking point' and to be discarded whenever a fight got a bit too hard.
The Left, in particular, has forgotten that the United States is a Revolutionary Nation all the way back to its founding. The Right has also forgotten this in the long decades in which an established Nation could wander from its path and yet still be corrected back to it by its People.
Today the People are wandering from the path, the political realm is all over the landscape and those that espouse the basic, and to this day still, Revolutionary outlook of the Founding are now finding resistance to it.
That does not lead to Freedom or Liberty for *anyone* in the long run.
It is a path to Despotism.
A path to Tyranny.
Because bias and Nationalism are perfectly acceptable... if you support the Universal Right of the Individual to come together and form societies and Nations. The Founders worried that this Revolutionary Path would be side-tracked or lose, in the end. Right they were to worry about.
When Bejamin Franklin was asked in 1787 what the New Government would be, his response was clear and succinct: "A Republic, madam, if you can keep it."
Best we remember Mr. Franklin editor of the Declaration and Constitution. He realized just how abnormal the United States was and would continue to be.And the Republic is *still* ours.If we can keep it.
