POLITICS: Name of game is liberty

Historically, immigrants assimilated by choice desiring the designation of "American" as a preferred society seeking the promise of liberty with freedom from tyranny and despotism. They became citizens with national patriotic pride asserting their unalienable rights to individual liberty and government by the people. George Washington said in his 1796 farewell address, "Citizens by birth or choice of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of American, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discriminations."

I question the representation of elected officials and I question their patriotism to the Republic of the United States of America or to the Constitutional Law so coveted by generations. The progressive government of today is the anti-Christ of Liberty. That government must be replaced with a proper elected representative government the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution intended. Americans must end the progressive's lies and corruption of our historical heritage by criminals in government as if it were cancer.

It is about Liberty, not about party or a socialist utopian idealistic dogma.
