Freedom's Creed with Rex Reed

Every single one of us can, and should be, as much of an inspiration to other people as possible.  And if we are fortunate enough to have any sort of platform, then all the more reason to strive to uplift.  In fact, if your voice is heard by millions of people, you have a responsibility to do the right thing, no matter what.  Knowingly saying something that is not true, is the worst.  And I couldn't care less whose mouth it comes out of!

Borrowing, when there is no reasonable chance to pay back the funds, is not even close to what most of us would consider sound economic advice.  Unfortunately, this is how the government has been operating for quite some time now.  And Social Security, among other taxpayer funded programs...is in real trouble.

It takes some really despicable people to take advantage of vulnerable people in our society.  These scammers seem to have no conscience, they attempt to steal whatever they want.  And in many cases, unfortunately, they are successful.  I have little tolerance for such people!

When we submit to the will of an out-of-control government, that takes advantage of our liberty and freedom, indeed actively attempts to minimize our liberty and freedom; then we have succumbed to the control of tyranny.  Our Constitution, and we the people, deserve so much more.

If we're not careful, not paying attention, or simply don't care, we'll find ourselves in a country that resembles totalitarianism, not freedom and liberty.  And then it will be too late to do anything about it.  We must preserve the Constitution if we expect our children and grandchildren to have any hope of benefiting from the sacrifices of those who gave their lives to preserve it.

Stopping to think about what's really important is something we should all do on a regular basis.  We have to be willing to stand up for what we believe, and continue to respect the rights of all people to believe what they will.

We live in a very open country, to be sure.  And for that reason, the "powers that be" need to ensure that they have the safety of the American people as a top priority.  Unless we want to end up like Israel, and experience a terror attack that dwarfs 9/11, our borders must be protected. 

Editing Note:  At around the 8:10 mark of the episode, I said that "Gaza takes over..."  What I meant to say is that "Hamas takes over."  

There are regions of the world that have been hotbeds for war and strife for generations.  The Middle East is no exception to this unfortunate rule.  And if there is to be lasting peace there, mighty changes must take place.

Doing the right thing, that which is kind and nice, doesn't get the attention it deserves in society today; however, just because niceness doesn't sell in the corporate media cesspool, doesn't mean we shouldn't embrace it.  It only takes a small effort on our part to change the narrative for the better.

We must never forget what happened on September 11, 2001.  We owe it to those who perished, as well as to their families, to remember their sacrifices.
