The "C" Word (Americas Pathway Forward: Embrace the Past)

The future of America. What do you envision as the future of America? Do you believe America is a special nation among all other nations? Why have people risked their lives to come to this nation and live? What draws them to US?

Our Nation is founded upon our Constitution and by following our Constitution we have become the "Land of the free and home of the brave." This is where people come to live free. This is where people come because they know they will have an opportunity to be successful. This is the land of possibility! They come because in their own nation they are oppressed. By whom? By their government. Their government has too much control over their lives and their future.

Our Nation, many of these immigrants say, is becoming a nation very much like the one they have left. They have risked their lives to come here and now "we" are transforming ourselves into "them". Many of us don't recognize our pathway, but those who have experienced tyranny in the past, very clearly see the roots of tyranny presently growing here, in the Land of the Free.

Conservatism is the answer, the antidote, the injection required to save us from a future of tyranny, of oppression. Conservatism will bring us back to our roots again. Conservatism will return us to our constitution where we can learn again what made us such a great nation among all other nations. What made us great, will make us great once again. There are many who insist we must change, because our society is changing and evolving and so the nation should change with it. No, that's not the path. Those who recognize it, are telling us we are on the path to tyranny. This nation must grow, we must continue to be a beacon of hope for all who are not free. We will be that beacon of hope if we demand of our leaders that we hold fast to our roots, to our constitution, that formed our nation and made us a mighty people.
