Who are WE...

The time in which we live is dark and precarious for us as Americans and subsequently for all the people with whom we are engaged; I believe this is attributed to the lost "American Character." We the People are ignorant of who we are and what "character" we must display if we are to be once again a rightous people, though faulted, would still be admired and respected...
As opposed to the tragic character we are today.

What is the "American Character?"

Character, described by "Webster'" as a main or essential nature especially as stongly marked and serving to distinguish...notable or distinguished traits.

The "American Character" used to be distinguished by a love of liberty, anti-war, and freedom demonstrated by the perpetual struggle being waged within our borders. As opposed to the European mind which had grown up accustomed to servitude as serfs and peasants to the landed/financial oligarchy through monarchical rule. Even today they are ruled politically by the weak parliamentary system whose governments are routinely thrown out by scandals "created" by the ruling class whose media organs can expose a "scandal" and force a government to resign: money controlling the will of the people!
The "American Character" is marked by fierce independence which through off the yoke of Despotism and wrote a Constitution which said power emanated from the "We the people" and not from hereditary authority down to the ordinary man and women...
Though you would never know it when viewing how those whom walk in the footsteps of liberty are treated here in Capital City.

If "We the people" are lost to our origainal "character" then it is paramount that a proper re-education is necessary in order for the power of government to be returned to the people; therby putting government in its rightful place. As with any lesson which must be properly learned it is appropriate that we start at the beginning: The Declaration of Independence
A truly great document whose inspiration, I believe was from the great Thomas Paine and his pamphlet "Common Sense"; both documents must be read and practiced by citizens and leaders. By the former to control the latter because it is they whose elitist nature does not want to believe that all are created equal in the eyes of their creator and work tirelessly to usurp the will of the people and subjugate them again to tyrannical rule:modern day Brits who yearn for King George...
This is demonstrated by their dishonest actions across the world!
But we have forgotten who we are; to find out and solve this problem let us go to the book:
HE(George) has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to Civil Power...
HE has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution and unacknowledged by our Laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quatering large Bodies of Armed Troops among us:
For protecting them by a mock Trial from Punishment of any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States...
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offences:
HE has plundered our Seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our Towns and destroyed the Lives of our People.
HE has excited domestic Insurection amongst us,...
When juxtaposing 2007 with 1776-7 we can plainly see that not only has time changed but so have "We the People". 231 years later and King George has returned, this time draped in the stars and stripes with a crown of 50 stars in her hair!
Cecil Rhodes would be Proud!!
We the People have lost our "character" which can only be regained through an indepth study of the documents and practice the principles articulated by the Founders of this once great Republic. A wise man once said recently in a speech: "We the people get the government we deserve". The power to change must begin with ourselves...
Let us understand and then promote the best of the "Amercian Character" because our history too is filled with "strange fruit" which tragically AGAIN represents to the world the "American Character"...
The Choice is YOURS!
