The View From 1776

The Imperial Obama Administration Forbids Dissent

Is the First Amendment now meaningless? 

It reads:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The President and his advisors believe that, while Congress may make no laws abridging freedom of speech or of the press, the executive branch can do as it pleases, and the intent of the Constitution be damned.

1. OBAMA's self-chosen disability WILL EVEN DESTROY THE GROUND UNDER HIS FEET!
   
   Deterministic systems, ideological symbols of abdication
   by man from his natural role as earth's Choicemaker,
   inevitably degenerate into collectivism; the negation of
   singularity, they become a conglomerate plural-based
   system of measuring human value. Blunting an awareness
   of diversity, blurring alternatives, and limiting the
   selective creative process, they are self-relegated to
   a passive and circular regression.
   
   Tampering with man's selective nature endangers his
   survival for it would render him impotent and obsolete
   by denying the tools of variety, individuality,
   perception, criteria, selectivity, and progress.
   Coercive attempts produce revulsion, for such acts
   are contrary to an indeterminate nature and nature's
   indeterminate off-spring, man the Choicemaker.
   
   Until the oppressors discover that wisdom only just
   begins with a respectful acknowledgment of The Creator,
   The Creation, and The Choicemaker, they will be ever
   learning but never coming to a knowledge of the truth.
   The rejection of Creator-initiated standards relegates
   the mind of man to its own primitive, empirical, and
   delimited devices. It is thus that the human intellect
   cannot ascend and function at any level higher than the
   criteria by which it perceives and measures values.
   
   Additionally, such rejection of transcendent criteria
   self-denies man the vision and foresight essential to
   decision-making for survival and progression. He is left,
   instead, with the redundant wreckage of expensive hind-
   sight, including human institutions characterized by
   averages, mediocrity, and regression.
   
   Humanism, mired in the circular and mundane egocentric
   predicament, is ill-equipped to produce transcendent
   criteria. Evidenced by those who do not perceive
   superiority and thus find themselves beset by the shifting
   winds of the carnal-ego; i.e., moods, feelings, desires,
   appetites, etc., the mind becomes subordinate: a mere
   device for excuse-making and rationalizing self-justifica-
   tion.
   
   The carnal-ego rejects criteria and self-discipline for such
   instruments are tools of the mind and the attitude. The
   appetites of the flesh have no need of standards for at the
   point of contention standards are perceived as alien, re-
   strictive, and inhibiting. Yet, the very survival of our
   physical nature itself depends upon a maintained sover-
   eignty of the mind and of the spirit.
   
   It remained, therefore, to the initiative of a personal
   and living Creator to traverse the human horizon and
   fill the vast void of human ignorance with an intelli-
   gent and definitive faith. Man is thus afforded the
   prime tool of the intellect - a Transcendent Standard
   by which he may measure values in experience, anticipate
   results, and make enlightened and visionary choices.
   
   Only the unique and superior God-man Person can deserved-
   ly displace the ego-person from his predicament and free
   the individual to measure values and choose in a more
   excellent way. That sublime Person was indicated in the
   words of the prophet Amos, "...said the Lord, Behold,
   I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel."
   Y'shua Mashiyach Jesus said, "If I be lifted up I will
   draw all men unto myself."
   
   As long as some choose to abdicate their personal reality
   and submit to the delusions of humanism, determinism, and
   collectivism, just so long will they be subject and re-
   acting only, to be tossed by every impulse emanating from
   others. Those who abdicate such reality may, in perfect
   justice, find themselves weighed in the balances of their
   own choosing.
   
   "No one is smarter than their criteria."

2. Each individual human being possesses a unique, highly developed, and
   sensitive perception of variety. Thus aware, man is endowed with a natural
   capability for enacting internal mental and external physical selectivity.
   Quantitative and qualitative choice-making thus lends itself as the superior
   basis of an active intelligence.
   
   Human is earth's Choicemaker. His title describes his definitive and
   typifying characteristic. Recall that his other features are but vehicles of
   experience intent on the development of perceptive awareness and the
   following acts of decision and choice. Note that the products of man cannot
   define him for they are the fruit of the discerning choicemaking process and
   include the cognition of self, the utility of experience, the development of
   value measuring systems and language, and the acculturation of
   civilization.
   
   The arts and the sciences of man, as with his habits, customs, and
   traditions, are the creative harvest of his perceptive and selective powers.
   Creativity, the creative process, is a choice-making process. His articles,
   constructs, and commodities, however marvelous to behold, deserve neither
   awe nor idolatry, for man, not his contrivance, is earth's own highest
   expression of the creative process.
   
   Human is earth's Choicemaker. The sublime and significant act of choosing
   is, itself, the Archimedean fulcrum upon which man levers and redirects the
   forces of cause and effect to an elected level of quality and diversity.
   Further, it orients him toward a natural environmental opportunity, freedom,
   and bestows earth's title, The Choicemaker, on his singular and plural brow.
