The concept of freedom has significantly diminished

Letter to the Editor:

The day of sovereign nations, where individuals gather around a solid national narrative, with a representative law system are quickly ending. Many people are thinking globally aiding in the erection of a larger system of failure that will only end in war.

Like it or not, it’s time to get out of our comfort zones, stop trusting corporate institutions of government and their political party pawns. Our best chance of success is at the local level where we can reestablish a proper narrative that expresses our customs and culture.

The concept of freedom has diminished significantly both here and globally due to the American people’s apathy toward insurgent corporate government. Even around the world, support for unsavory regimes has grown due to decline of a personified freedom narrative from the US. Simply put, America is no longer “the Beacon of Freedom,” because its people have been subdued and subsequently it’s government corrupted.

The biggest problem with any counter measure by those calling themselvs Patriots, is the lack of unity, decisive direction and the critical element of knowledgable leadership. We have lost our vision of liberty, made too many compromises and lack the real men needed to resume our once mountain top position.

 However, there is always hope for those who might avail themselves to the discomfort of reestablishing of liberty narrative, one county at a time.
