A Bell Named Liberty

Once there was a town that wanted to celebrate their country’s anniversary of freedom. It was decided that a bell would be cast and be placed in the tower of the City Hall, and when the bell was rung, the sound would be a reminder to all who heard it of their freedom. The bell was to be made from the finest material available, to be made by the finest bell makers in the town. So it was done, and when the bell was completed, because of the freedom it was to represent, the bell was named, Liberty.

A great crowd gathered on the day the bell, Liberty, was to be first rung. The leader of the town’s government would be the first to pull the rope to ring the bell, and the symbolic sound of freedom would be heard. The bell was rung once, and on that very first ring, the bell cracked. The bell was not rung again, and the bell was later removed from the tower.

Upon examination, the bell was found to have no faults in material nor workmanship. No logical explanation for the bell cracking could be found. The bell was returned, not repaired, to the tower where it could be seen, with its large crack, by all. The bell was never rung again, for the people of the town who wanted the sound of the bell to represent their freedom, realized the real message in the cracked and silent bell they called Liberty.

Liberty is fragile, it is not easily restored, it must never be taken for granted, and it always must be secured.

This is President Donald Trump’s March 2017 Executive Order.

This is a short video clip from President Bill Clinton’s 1995 State Of The Union Address regarding immigration.

These are the numbers of “removals” and “returns” from the United States between 1882 to 2014. Barack Obama was president from 2009 to 2017.

This is a summary of the law in Canada regarding refugees.

Freedom of religion to me means freedom from religion. It means the complete separation of religion and state.

One must have the right to belief, and the right to private worship. The state must not deny, nor interfere with, this right. Freedom of religion does not mean having a special right.

One must not have the right to be excluded in the name of freedom of religion from a law or regulation that applies equally to all persons. Only in the case of government force against one’s life, liberty, or property must there be freedom of religion.

Permitting exclusion based on freedom of religion where no coercion or compulsion is present, is to favour one religion over another, to give persons of one religious group a right others are denied. This is wrong in a free society. It is time we gave religion back to the church, synagogue, and mosque, etc., and kept it out of the state.

I am so sick,  I am so tired, I am so fed up with the red weed of socialism that chokes out individual freedom and economic prosperity.
