The Last Free Country Left on Earth

The 'Spirit of '76' in PSJ

Is the United States of America the last free country left on earth? Sometime it seems so.

Have you ever wondered why we have a First Amendment, and other countries don’t? This important piece of our law, the Constitution, guarantees us (in order) freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom to assemble and petition the government for relief of our grievances. No other country has these guarantees.

Which doesn’t stop Democrats and other elements of Far Left Crazy from trying to take them away from us and either erase them altogether or else reserve these liberties to themselves alone. Hence a “Disinformation Governance Bureau,” “hate speech” rules, and all the rest. (Hint: It’s “fundamental transformation”!)

There are countries in the, ahem, “Free World” where I’d be silenced for the things I write. Tell me I’d be safe in Canada, the UK, or Australia. All of these countries had more freedom not that many years ago.

Our country’s founders had to have freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press. They hazarded their lives to win these freedoms, and so they could pass them on to their descendants. The leftids would replace these our natural rights with BS made-up pseudo-rights (unlimited abortion, LGBTQetc, transgender, illegal immigration, and on and on and on)–and above all, a supposed “right” to fornication.

There’s global government sniffing around, in search of vulnerabilities. Global government whose grand panjandrums think of most of us as “useless” or “worthless” people, fit only to be kept quiescent with drugs and video games.

We need our Spirit of ’76! Yes, we still need it after all these years; and always will.

Freedom of the Press Takes a Hit in Canada

Rebel News - Ezra Levant

He forgot to say “May I?”!

Canada’s leading conservative journalist, Ezra Levant, is suing Justin Trudeau’s, er, “government” for denying a “journalist license” to his news outlet, Rebel News (https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/rebel-news-has-sued-trudeau-for-denying-the-prominent-official-journalism-designation/)–which means Rebel News reporters will be denied access to government press conferences and similar events.

Rebel News will also suffer penalties under Canada’s “Income Tax Act.”

According to the government, “less than 1 percent” of Rebel News content “meets the criterion for original news content” and is “largely focused on the promotion of one particular viewpoint.”

Honk if you know of any nooze outlet to which that description won’t apply [cue in crickets chirping in silent background].

“Journalism license,” eh? Does that mean “support the government or just shut up”?

The free world ain’t so free anymore, is it?

Allowing the government to decide who’s a “journalist” and who isn’t–well, that slurping sound you hear offstage is U.S. Democrats licking their lips with envy.

A Nation of Prayer

What used to be called “the Free World” is sliding into tyranny.

We think we have it bad here in America, what with “mandates,” cancel culture, lying nooze media, FBI intimidating parents who don’t like their school boards’ asinine and wicked policies, and the whole government at every level chock-full of clowns, predators, and thieves.

But look at Canada. Australia. New Zealand. Once upon a time these were called “free countries.” Look at them now. All it took was a virus with a less than 1% kill rate. Sent them scurrying into Stalin country. This week in Canada they called out the cossacks.

I often wonder if it was something they’d just been hungrily waiting for, all their lives–to give them the excuse to wipe out our liberties.

But there’s one thing I don’t wonder about. If we want to keep those liberties, and get back the ones that have been taken from us, we as a nation need to pray more: pray harder, pray more often, pray as if everything depended on it–which it does, you know. Everything depends on our sovereign, righteous, Almighty God.

We as a nation have many times acted as if we didn’t know that. We would never admit to being atheists: but how many of us can honestly say we walk with the Lord?

We need to become a nation of prayer. We need to turn to God with all our hearts. We are in desperate need of His protection!

We proclaim the crown rights of Jesus Christ the King of kings, our Savior.

I guess that’s why they hate us.
