This is a message to America.

For all those Founding Father rhetoricians this diatribe should have extra significance. As a whole, this is nothing new, a simple reallocation of ideas that clarifies what should be obvious. A simple slap in the face to Americans.

The original conception of the American ideal was that of liberty. Liberty, as you probably do not know, means the freedom to construct an individuated moral system and act on it. Sometimes the uses and intents of words are more complete than their specific definitions and never more so than in the case of the word liberty at the onset of the Unites States of America.

The job of government was to protect one's right to liberty. It was to facilitate man's inborn ability to contruct and act on an individuated moral system. One of these responsibilities was to protect citizens from outside forces that did not agree with this philosophy about man's inborn ability and rights. There have always been power systems, from totalitarian rulers to communism, that denied this basic precept of human nature.

All of this seems obvious.

If you have to ask about liberty, chances are you don't understand it. If you live in America and you don't understand your proper participation in a system of liberty, you are by action unAmerican. You are either inhuman by this standard or you do not agree that man has this ability, which is in stark defiance of the American ideal. It is true that most of the patriots of today are merely collectivists, irrational animals, standing up for an ideal they know nothing about, for which they are inept to defend; they are feeble children proud to find solace in mass ignorance.

This individuated sense of liberty is a great responsibility. It means that one makes of himself an individual that understands and acts on his own proper moral system. What is implicit in this, and implicit in the dialectical process of the U.S. Government and its legislation, is that one must provide evidence for moral truth. An idea, a belief, a hard-held opinion is only as good as the reasoning behind it. Decisiveness, as we see it in our current leader, is only as good as the reasons behind it; and these reasons must be the result of a life of liberty rather than what me might call the blind consumption of collectivist ideals.

At the heart of this message, however, is also something new about human nature. It is an existential critique of the laziness of America.

America has secured liberty for its inhabitants. It has protected them, for the most part from outside invaders, and has facilitated their life as such. The citizens have neglected to use it. They have intentionally chosen blind faith and collectivism as a route to truth. They have done this most often in regards to basic principles.

The modern complaint that big business, big government, big brother, et al are holding down the population is, in fact, a fallacy. The suggestion that late consumerism, with its inane products and useless desire-based methods of selling, is the cause of man's superficiality and unease ignores a basic sense of responsibility. Big business is not the cause, it is the symptom. The consumers themselves create these products by creating demand. This in turn creates advertising.

The real question here is one about human nature. And only a philosopher can manage it. There are no philosophers left in America, at least none with any unused inspiration, and what little philosophy there is operates in a vacuum.

A group of non-individuated men will always act together as animals. Without dramatic change, reason will not command the fundamental issues of our civilizations.

The purpose of the American Nation was to remove the baser animal instincts from the fundamentals of politics; and as yet this reformation has been, as a movement, sabotaged and corroded to nothing. The liberty of America instead serves to enable the weak-minded to complain about economic and ideological positions as the source of their malaise. Ignoring their own responsibility as a direct result of their nature. Our government frees them from man's historical preoccupation with basic needs, only to posit them on the doorstep of nihilism - a comfortable homestead from which they can remain merely animals, sated by the products of capitalism and dreaming of shadows on the wall.

The difference between child and adult is the individuated moral self. When a man has a complete moral system and can act on it, he is then an adult. As this system conforms to other adult moral systems, the success of that system is tested by civilization. Law is that thing that regulates the protection of society by the comprehensive and actual tests of its individuals. The legal ideal, as the state ideal, is an extension of an individual moral concept as it completes the tests of a community of men.

There is a great amount of responsibility in the action of a free adult, as there is much real freedom once a social consensus is reached and maintained. This exertion to freedom is apparently too difficult for the average american. The result is that we have a well governed and well policed population of children, unable to construct the appropriate questions, firstly, and clearly unable to provide reasoned answers in defense.

Freud's assault - his dark prognistication - of religion as the symptom of mass immaturity that plagues otherwise capable men, remains true. Religion is that thing that satisfies an otherwise curious mind and sedates it to collectivism and contentedness at the expense of true liberty.

America is a nation of children grasping at their toys and crying at the indifference of night. They lay claim to their own happiness as naive children do without understanding the condition itself. The brilliance of the American political construct has been overtaken by kids and manipulated to their desires. It now functions as a toy and it has, in some odd unpredictable way, become an object of scorn for the people it protects. The American government is now the only thing that lies between the mass of screaming ideologues and chaos.

And the true danger from the children the masses are now electing into office is that they will forever bury the object of the American ideal from realization. The proper cause of liberty will be hidden forever, like a great tomb, beneath the banalities of man.
