The Modern American State

I dug up this paper I wrote a few years ago. It's only a initial write but I re-read it and thought it had some merit. My writing style has changed some and I think probably matured so it probably has some points which may be skewed; feel free to point them out.

The Modern American State

This nation America has reached a destitute state. Over the years we have lost the values the nation’s creators held. And today we have reached an absolute bottom of liberal society. If we are to stave of the fall of this nation into the abyss of fascism we must change our ways and means. The path we seek now leads nowhere but destruction of our rights and the domination of our minds. Without a radical mental revolution in this nation we will perish as a bastion of freedom and true democracy.

The Constitution should be seen as a building block with which to construct a deeper sense of liberty and freedom. In modern society it has become for some nothing but a tool for the enforcement of National Security and personal agendas. A tool which can be disregarded at will. And for others it has become an absolute truth, absolutely unalterable. I assert that neither of these is right.

The constitution was created by a group of men who were deeply in love with the principles of liberty. And with passion they wrote our Constitution. It established unprecedented freedoms for the citizenry of this nation and a building block with which to extend those freedoms. However, the representation and the citizenry of this potentially great nation have not realized the potential of the Constitution except in minority. With the extreme right trying to mitigate the Constitution to a rag and the extreme left trying to enshrine it we can make no progress as a nation. The Constitution should be versatile and agile, ready to change in a changing world but not to give up any of the protections for its citizenry.

Throughout the history of the United States there has always been someone who served as a bastion for the rights and liberties guaranteed by the creators and their Constitution. Those select few who understood when no one else would, that to alter the rights and freedoms guaranteed this Nation is to cede victory to our enemies and surrender everything dear to this nation. Such men as John Marshall, Earl Warren, Ron Paul, and William Fallon have defended their own beliefs and those of the creators. However, the unfortunate aspect of being a minority in the right is that no matter how right you are you will rarely win.

Popular opinion has become a tool of the Government. How can we claim that the people are properly represented when the people are so poorly educated? The people have become tools to the government because of fascist education systems, popularized hate mongering, and the spread of ignorance and simplification through the use of the television and other means. The government controls everything because they control nothing.

There has not been establishment of proper public education in this nation. Socialized education is a failure not because of socialism but because of the American mindset. We cannot succeed in any form of socialism because everything about capitalism thrives on greed. The school systems are concerned with nothing but funding. Standardized tests and student ratios determine that funding and therefore they concern themselves with those. The reason democratic principles and liberal values are not understood by vast numbers of people is because the education system does not teach anything beyond the realm of historical fact.

The ignorance established by these failed education systems has infested this nation. Ignorance of the liberties which were so valued by the creators has become prominent throughout the new conservative movement in the nation. That conservative movement has utilized the constitution to justify their destruction of liberty in this nation. The evangelicals want to indoctrinate their so-called Christian values into every aspect of national society. The Neo-Cons want to dismantle the American State so as to build a nation of war and hate. In the words of that great American Dwight Eisenhower:”Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.” And yet time and time again, the conservatives have won the vote when the people become weary of those whining Democrats and otherwise liberal minded representatives who have a proven record of fighting for the people, no matter how small.

I call them so-called Christian values because I do not believe there are more than a handful of true Christian values held by the conservative Christian movement. A group of war and hate mongers who have banded together under a cross do not necessarily constitute a Christian Church. With few true Christian values being spoken from the churches, the congregations have come to accept the hate mongering and fear spreading that spews from the pulpits of the religious right. And from those pulpits disseminates a message of persecutionary defense in a nation of liberal leftists who control the government in the majority and serve only to undermine conservative Christian values. The religious right does not understand that the liberal leftists they so despise protect their freedoms on a daily basis by keeping them out of the government. With a secular government we have no state established religion and no discriminatory policies, this is imperative to a true democracy. We do not live in a Christian nation, though we may live in a nation of Christians.


In the words of the great conservative Joseph Goebbels: "...Effective propaganda must limit its points to a few and these points must be repeated until even the last member of the audience understands what is meant by them." Such is the religious right, and the non-religious right, and even some of my beloved lefties. They repeat themselves over and over again and in their self-righteous crusade they become, in their own minds, more and more right with every repetition. This is particularly shocking when the message they preach is not love but hate.

Such beloved evangelist as John Hagee, Jerry Falwell, and Pat Robertson exemplify these statements in almost every statement they make. They do not preach the love of thy neighbor or the turn of thy cheek; however, they preach the utter destruction of all enemies of their God and the desecration of liberty in pursuit of “national security”, forced Christian will, and the integration of Old Testament principles.

They enforce the interests of Israel onto our nation as if it was one. And with no anti-Semitic values I assert that we should give what is the Jew’s to the Jews and give what is God’s to God. The Jews can defend themselves and it is not our place to do that for them. With impartial mediation we should defend the interests of world-liberty and human rights but that has never been the case and it will not be as long as a United States’ President keeps his personal council in the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives with such figures as that renowned Homophobe and Fagot Ted Haggard.

This America is not the America of our ancestors, grandfathers, or even fathers. This America is the America of ignorance, hatred, and spite. The people will be made responsible for their actions in one way or the other. The American State will come to be ruled by a fascist administration under the pretense of democracy, or it will perish through internal disintegration, or it will cede to the constant waves of external attack either literal or figurative. This can be averted; and this can be stopped; and this can be reversed; but not if the people of the United States of America do not change their ways.

Without a revolution of thought in America there will be no progress. We will continue down the road towards self-destruction, and we will continue on the path to failure. And in the words of a truly great conservative Dwight Eisenhower: “It is nowhere written that the American empire goes on forever.”
