Compromising (A History Lesson)
To the Editor,
Claiming that anybody is not paying their fair share in taxes is covetous, not only of someone else's wealth but also of his or her own virtue. Just taxation by the Founders was for all to pay one flat rate; they new if it wasn't equally applicable, some would bicker like children of envy. The Founders of this nation knew human nature all too well and the progressive liberal has yet to mature to that fact. The Constitution has always been sufficient for a free people of moral character. Tyranny is the bitter politics from those who force the issue.
"We the People" created government and to hand over the moral obligations that we are accountable for by our Creator is to effectively elevate government to conflict with the Creator's will. The humanist has no soul. He or she is comfortable in a collective and lost as a patriot.
Compromising has always been of great importance to the progressive liberal because if a compromise is reached a step forward has been made for the progressive movement and the further intrusion of government into our lives. When a conservative reaches a compromise with progressives, liberties will have been lost and principles will have been compromised. Compromising is supposed to be mutually beneficial to all or nothing... not so in progressive politics. Thomas Jefferson stated "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance" and I would have to say that the conservative's best tactic in eternal vigilance for freedom is to simply say no to the progressive liberal's scheme of things. The use of government force should always be used as a reactive force not as a proactive one. It should be of mutual benefit and not for any special interest. Yet the progressive liberal promotes government for just that reason. To finally ensnare all into some form of special interest group so as to play right into the progressive liberal's hands, a world that creates an illusion that they are necessary. A world where domestic tranquility will never be reached because they wish to have us diversified into political factions that can be pitted against each other.
Woodrow Wilson was the first to conceive a political compromise of great consequence. "All that progressives ask or desire," wrote Woodrow Wilson, "is permission -- in an era when development, evolution, is a scientific word -- to interpret the Constitution according to the Darwinian principle; all they ask is recognition of the fact that a nation is a living thing and not a machine." Granting Wilson permission to interpret the Constitution as he (a progressive) saw fit was to compromise the original intent of what our Constitution was designed to do. This compromise with Wilson was to view our Constitution as a living document to be interpreted by the progressive liberal as they saw fit. They wish the Constitution to be interpreted in the light of social engineering instead of the individual's protection of his or her rights. Again social engineering is the devising of special interest groups... this is the birth of diversity, as we now know it. This was the first compromise of great consequence in letting government slip the confinements of our Constitution.
Woodrow Wilson was just one of many progressive liberals to come with a strong religious background looking to blur the line between church and state. "They were the first politicians to take what are common human necessities and interpret them in the light of their new societal view of the Constitution as natural rights... this eventually later became "the New Deal" by another President with a Democrat majority.
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." (John Adams)
This quote from John Adams, the second President of the United States, was a serious and widely held view of all the signers of the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. The belief in a Creator is a conviction of our Founders and was not taken lightly... it is the only key to liberty and the sustaining of our unalienable rights. Any other form of government will eventually destroy them.

Researching the original intent of our Founding Fathers and their solemn utterances revealed a self-evident truth that there is no moral substitute for our moral obligations. Government cannot fulfill these responsibilities of moral obligations without consuming all things... our rights, our property and even our souls. And seeing government in all aspects of our lives, as it is today, it is doing just that.
To compromise with evil is a win for evil. To compromise with the principles of what makes people good and good government is to set a precedence that will give government the reason to grow out of the confinement of the Constitution. Eventually both we and the government will become uncontrollable and cease to be good.
Since the progressive has taken control of our education, apathy has set in, coveting other's wealth has set in, ignorance has set in and the sense of entitlement has set in; all of which are vices, not virtues. This is the product of progressive liberalism's usurping our moral obligations and our education, leaving many citizens void of personal character and virtue.
During Woodrow Wilson's Presidency, he along with a Democrat majority in both Houses, created three major building blocks for government's ability to grow. First, was the progressive education model, perpetrated by Wilson himself as a Ph.D. in government studies and a university president. Second, was the creation of the Federal Reserve for the purpose of banking this new government model. Third, and most important, was the 16th Amendment... enabling taxation "from what ever source derived" for the funding of government's growth for years to come.
When it comes to compromising with government we are dealing with force and its growth. To compromise with a progressive liberal (the advocate of government) surely means that government will grow and the compromise is by how much.
In the light of this self-evident truth and over time, we now have a monster on our hands with an army of entitled voters and bureaucrats amassed behind a government that is always growing. To this day, the progressive liberal still wants the conservative to compromise because government is their temple, social justice their religion and taxation their paycheck.
This country did not get into the trouble we face today in just a matter of eight years with George W. Bush; it was conceived by Woodrow Wilson, created by Franklin Roosevelt... and now we are going to be finished off by Barack Obama. All three Presidents had Democrat majorities in both the House and Senate and compromised our Constitution each time... our only protection from the tyranny of government.
"Power always thinks... that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws."
(John Adams)
I understand our Founding Fathers vision. The progressive liberal will have nothing to do with them. There is nothing for them to profit from in a self-governed citizenry. I liken progressive liberals to the cast off of royalty the residue of the revolution, elbowing their way back into our lives.
The first thing needed to right our nation again is to clean out the halls of academia of progressive liberals where the fallacy of social engineering got its foothold.
The American Jobs Act is another progressive liberal scheme (Progressive Liberal Jobs Act) seeking another compromise with the conservatives. It is incomplete in detail and will be defended with half-truths and the belittling of conservatives, a scripted taken from the masters of progressive liberalism, Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D Roosevelt.
