The First Principle
http://fubar.com/the-first-principle/b290386-1031397

The Founders of the United States of America had what seemed an insurmountable task when forging the founding documents of a new and different, free, nation. There were many different peoples and ideas to contend with, and how to make this country united, without being oppressive was quite a job.

Socialism had been tried by the Governor in Jamestown, which was a dismal failure. Everyone was to put the fruits of their labor into the general welfare for all to draw out, including those that did not work. Problem was that some decided not to work, and still they would get what they needed. Soon the ones pulling from the general pool without adding in were putting a burden on those that were, and it was increasing. The governor stopped this practice. It seems that when someone is offered something for free, they would rather take it, and then work for it. Production goes down, slows and disappears, and those that do not produce want more and more. The only thing redistribution of wealth or material does, is it does not make the poor richer it makes the rich poorer, thus instead ehof improving everyone’s condition in life it makes everyone poorer and more people become poorer and want what everyone else is getting for free. Latest example – Hawaii had free health care for those that did not have it, taking the money from the richer on the island. Sounds like a good deal, right? Wrong! What happened was that the people who had been paying for they own health insurance stopped, so as to get the free health care. Again, why pay for something when you can get it for free? Endgame - the free health care for everyone was done away with. Moral to the story – NOTHING IS FREE TO ANYONE, SOMEONE HAS TO PAY FOR IT, and when they get tired of paying, they do something about it, which was the basic idea behind our revolution; we got tired of paying for the monarchy in England sponging of our fruits here.

The Federalist Papers, which ruled the land until the Constitution, made each state its own little fiefdom, and the Federal Government had no authority or power to do anything except for what the states agreed to let them do. Sounds good, except the main purpose of the Federal Government was to protect the whole of the nation and they couldn’t do this if there was nothing in place to make an army or navy, or many other things. This was very close to anarchy.

So as stated before, the founders wanted to make something that was in the middle, and searched the past 5000 years for all the great governments and nations, took what was good out of them and threw out what made them fall. On this very document and research, they came up with and put forth into the constitution and all their writings, 28 principles of Freedom, and let me tell you, we have strayed so far from them that we are almost, not quite, but very close to becoming a monarchy/dictatorship during this current generation. So I hope I enlighten some, as I myself have been enlightened, and turn this country back to what it could be and not what it is becoming.

THE FIRST PRINCIPLE:

The Genius of Natural Law

The Founders, though of many different religious denomination, knew that all the rights and duties of a free man has to be tied to the Creator, for they have mentioned this many times in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and their various writings. They all acknowledge that all rights come from the Creator and it is the governments’ job to protect not only the citizens, but those rights as well. Anyone who wants to tell you that this country was not founded on Judeo-Christian beliefs is just lying to themselves, and have never looked or read the basis of our constitution and laws. The Anglo and Israeli communities are most part the basis of law in this land. Think about any law, and think about the Ten Commandments, same principles, different wording but it is there and clear. Most people are amazed when they find out the actual basis of this country. These ideas, Unalienable Rights, Unalienable Duties, Habeas Corpus, Limited Government, Separation of Powers, Checks and Balances, Self-Preservation, Ability to Contract, Protection of Family, Institution of Marriage, Justice by Reparation, to Bear Arms, No Taxation without Representation are all based on natural law. So much so that Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.”

Created equal means having the same rights and opportunities to all, not having all the same exact status, material things or eye color, etc. The key to Pursuit of Happiness is not to guarantee happiness, or wealth, but that the government cannot interfere with the pursuit to obtain wealth and material goods, not legislate so that all can receive goods and wealth of other or prevent the amassing of the same. Life is the most important and tied to all others, Life without property or Liberty is slavery. In its most basic redistribution of wealth is enslavement of not only the rich, because they cannot enjoy the fruits of their labors, but the poor who are given what they do not earn, because they depend on the government to make do for them and enslave them to the government, thus killing their right to pursue happiness because the desire to do so is gone, except to play the lottery, which just makes them all the more poorer.

We will delve into more of all of this in future blogs.
