It is really, really sad to see how some people just do not get it. Italy, for example, was freed from the Fascist Benito Mussolini with The United States Of America and Allied blood. Yet, today we see people so comfortable espousing Fascism all in the name of "Free Speech" even posting anti The United States Of America articles. To be sure, not all elected or appointed officials in The United States Of America to include associated agencies is above reproach. As a whole whether in the past or today, without the mutual support with The United States Of America, there would be quite a different make up for opportunities for personal choice.

 

The roots of The United States Of America go significantly prior to The United States Of America founding and are diverse in the sources. Fortunately, Blackstone English Common Law itself is based undeniably on the Laws Of The Supreme Being of the Judeo-Christians and is a major source for the embodiment of The United States Of America Laws and Rule Of Law. Without individual acknowledgment and application of the consistency and framing of Blackstone English Common Law in the makeup of The United States Of America, there is no sufficient unity for the make up of "We the People". Liberals, Fascists, Communists, Nazists, and Socialists just do not get their philosophies are incompatible with the origins and founding principles of The United States Of America clearly noted in historical references so there is no unity based on acknowledgment of Liberalism, Fascism, Communism, Nazism, Socialism, and whatever other "progressive" philosophies espoused and promulgated on the masses. None of these destructive philosophies acknowledge the principle base of Personal Acknowledgement, Personal Responsibility, AND Personal Ownership as the primary means for living out the founding principles of The United States Of America for the unity to be experienced and enjoyed by "We The People".

 

With Great Privilege comes even Greater Responsibility. I choose to live out the Greater Responsibility as benefit for myself and others without compromising the founding principles of The United States Of America noted in the historical references to also maintain and enjoy the Great Privilege. For me, I look at the reason for the ultimate sacrifice that was paid by many, many others in defending the Constitution Of The United States Of America TO INCLUDE The Ratified Bill Of Rights by their Oath Of Service so I have an immense sense of responsibility to live out the same reason in Duty. Honor. Country. in every venue.
