How to Destroy a Free Society 101

I told a relative of mine the other day that I believe the easiest way to destroy a free country is to hyper-inflate its currency. But that doesn't mean there aren't other ways to skin the proverbial cat. Here are some other ways to destroy a nation deeply rooted in liberty, such as America:

• Undermine the nation's currency


• Promote, condone, and in any way encourage immoral and licentious behavior


• Create a massive welfare state that makes a majority of the citizenry dependent upon the central power or magistrate.


• Usurp and centralize power over life, liberty, and property


• Limit religious freedoms


• Restrict free speech


• Create a state controlled media


• Disallow or curtail ownership of weapons


• Give the state control over the education and indoctrination of children, youth, and young adults.


• Discourage wealth creation and productivity through confiscatory taxation and demonizing of success


• Elect and appoint wicked and dishonorable men and women to high office (including those who do the bidding of this class of people under the guise of good intentions

This is the battle plan of those who hate liberty and freedom. We must be vigilant and active in protecting all of these fronts everywhere. Again we must all be anxiously engaged in the good cause of protecting our liberty because as President Reagan said repeatedly "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction"
