Many times it seems we allow ourselves to get caught up in arguments that make little sense–that have no gain for us, just for the sake of winning (or losing) a small argument with someone who otherwise feels 98% like I do. Perhaps we are all guilty of this. These are the times we need Unity. Instead of challenging others, maybe it’s time to challenge ourselves.
It is time that we Unite in a spirit of Optimism and concentrate on those Universal Common Values that we share rather than breaking each other down. Do you consider yourself any of the following: Republicans, Conservatives, Libertarians, Tea Parties, Liberty Factions, 912ers? We ask you to take The Challenge:
- I Challenge myself to be Optimistic for America’s Future. I will set petty factional differences aside and come to the Aide and Support those Individuals and Groups in which I share the following Universal Common Values:
- Active warfare against the INDOCTRINATION that victimizes us and our children: Education is indoctrination if you’re white – subjugation if you’re black. –James Arthur Baldwin
- Disdain for Apathy: So much attention is paid to the aggressive sins, such as violence and cruelty and greed with all their tragic effects, that too little attention is paid to the passive sins, such as apathy and laziness, which in the long run can have a more devastating effect. –Eleanor Roosevelt
- Rejection of the Principles of Big Government and corruption: That government is best which governs least. –Thomas Paine
- Support for a New Liberty Renaissance: Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both. –Benjamin Franklin
- Defense of the Republic–not Democracy–that is our United States, as we know that Democracy is tyranny by the majority: It may be concluded…that such [uncontrolled] democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives, as they have been violent in their deaths. –James Madison
- Demanding transparency of governments’ politicians: It is weakness rather than wickedness which renders men unfit to be trusted with unlimited power. — John Adams
- Standing for PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Believing that NO ONE is “too big to fail” because FREEDOM means the ability to take risks and the ability to fail: Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. – Mahatma Gandhi
- Support for Radically Reducing Spending and the National Debt: We are thus in the position of having to borrow from Europe to defend Europe, of having to borrow from China and Japan to defend Chinese and Japanese access to Gulf oil, and of having to borrow from Arab emirs, sultans and monarchs to make Iraq safe for democracy. We borrow from the nations we defend so that we may continue to defend them. To question this is an unpardonable heresy called ‘isolationism.’–Patrick J. Buchanan
- Opposition to voter fraud and voter intimidation: I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this — who will count the votes, and how. –Joseph Stalin
- Rejection of of racism, sexism, class warfare, and all other harmful-isms that serve only to divide and classify us as a collective rather than individuals: I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. –Martin Luther King, Jr.
- An open audit of the Federal Reserve and reject the premise of centralized banking: I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. –Thomas Jefferson
- Support for Decentralization and States Rights and a belief that matters dealing with social law be relegated to the States and Localities except in such manners as which contradict the Right of the Individual in accord to the Bill of Rights and the subsequent 13th, 14th, and 19th Amendments: You have rights antecedent to all earthly governments: rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; rights derived from the Great Legislator of the universe. –John Adams
- Support for a strong NATIONAL VOLUNTEER Defense: Men sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. –George Orwell
