IB's hidden agenda is anti-American
As an American I stand for the principles of freedom and liberty on which our society is erected; no enemy whatsoever can destroy such foundation as it is laid through the hearts of patriots.As a veteran I am bound to the defense of that foundation through a solemn oath to bear true faith and allegiance to our Constitution.
As a man my faith and allegiance truly lies with my Creator from which all else is extended.If free will is what sets our species apart from all others on this planet, then our ability to make decisions and choices outside of instinct and nature are elemental to who we are as mankind. When this primary aspect of our being is attacked by agendas that are deliberately hidden from the light of public scrutiny people begin to feel like passengers on a train as opposed to individuals on their own chosen path.
We become programmed to believe fallacies such as war is peace, collateral damage is unavoidable and therefore acceptable, international government is necessary and inevitable, climate changes are controllable and man-made, and education, security, and health care are the responsibility of government.Hence the debate over such programs as International Baccalaureate which, through due diligence, can be discovered to be part of an agenda moving through the globe in an attempt to foster a culture of internationalism eventually ending in global governance. Yes! There is an urgency to become better global citizens. Yes! There is a need to be better stewards of our planet.
The issue is that we are given solutions to these problems by the biggest offenders to the environment and freedom. How can we be so blind as to not recognize this? The crux of the issue is this hypocrisy of being affiliated with an agenda whose roots drink from a body of governance which derives its authority from thin air as opposed to the consent of the governed; completely, utterly, blatantly anti-American."When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."The Constitution is the physical manifestation of the universal and transcendent principles of coexistence and interdependence and that's what makes this country great; that's what's worth fighting for.
