Parliament/Coke/Immigration

 Conformity is a burden and a trial it weakens the soul of the individual
 and it weakens the soul of the country, our country.

   It's effects are remarkably apparent as this battle against Trump Fascism.

   What exactly is the Fascism? is it the constant speaking of what is on his mind?

   By not raising our voices we stop sharing the information that all people need to make informed opinions.

   'Conformity' has another name "solidarity'  . are you with the cause or against us?

   In 1621 in the days when people's heads got lopped off pretty regularly for being a dissenter an incredible drama took place back in Mother England. It seems to speaks to our roots, our heritage, the Tree from what the ideals of America were forged

   Parliament was created back in the 1300's in England and I am not a historian I just love reading about it. Somewhere in this feudal system the average citizen began to think that they had a voice… I won't even begin to try to explain the Magna Carta to you all because I need the explaining but, just as we all, who live in the USA need to know as much as we can regarding the founding of our country … it's Declaration of Independence the Constitution  and the Courage and Vision that we have inherited to build upon or cast aside. The Tree goes deep…. we

   Sir Edmund Coke bravely spoke in Parliament to King James ….'The ancient liberty of Parliament for Freedom of Speech …. a liberty which we assure ourselves so wise and just a King will not infringe, the same being our ancient and undoubted rights, an inheritance from our ancestors without which we cannot freely debate nor clearly discern of things before us.'

 Nor clearly discern of things. If some outward force in the name of 'The Kingdom' demands silence on any particular subject. Or if we let some inward force, a force that many have tried to warn us of over the centuries, when we surrender to some great cause that seems merely to be a bundle of fear and rage we lose the ability as a people to discern clearly the things in question before us.

  So I tell myself at 4 AM get friggin' bold you fool. Quit wanting to have people like you quit worrying over your fate your empty love life or any number of pointless subjects and deal with he matter at hand.

   We are deeply lucky that of all the people of the world to live adjacent to us and to have come across our border to work in our fields, factories and communities, that we have such good hearted people of strong values as the Mexicans as well as Guatemalans and all from all of Central America. We are also as a community are full of Americans also of great heart who welcome these new migrants, whether they have come here through the legal channels or not. These are my family and friends who will stand up on behalf of our new community members and march in the streets if necessary to protect their human rights.

   The laws of the USA have not been put on the books by Aliens or Angels but by our elected Representatives doing the best they can on our behalf. Whether its President Johnson's The Immigration Act of 1965 or Ronald Reagan's Immigration Act of 1986 or whatever is next The American People have the right to have a voice in the debate in crafting a policy. That to the tune of some 11 Million 'undocumented' residents to use the proper euphemism, our laws are perceived of as being irrelevant, the human flow ignores the barriers, and our newly elected President as flawed and apparently foolish at times as he is is doing his best to fulfill the wishes of the American Citizens who voted him into office. Seeking a firm response to this situation that seemed out of control back n the Reagan era but now has gotten so out of control that many people feel that it is someone's natural right to receive the blessings and security of our country whether they have obeyed the laws of the American People or not.

  President Trump has in issue after issue attempted be as firm as his rhetoric was in reaching office, at the same time reaching out to accommodate and compromise repeatedly. Fear, scorn and hatred is what's coming from the Left. The unsaid philosophy is apparently that we are moving towards a borderless civilization.

  Fear and conformity of thought block a clear understanding of the costs and benefits of unlimited illegal immigration. The costs need to be addressed and remedies created without fear of charges of racism for those Americans who see 'the dreamers' of the USA's quality of life and opportunities being diminished because of this unlimited work force that competes for jobs and living space.
