When an individual does not possess freedom of expression, nor freedom of press, nor freedom of religion, nor freedom to congregate when we want, then „a democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.” This is not freedom nor is it a true definition of democracy.
However, there are four pillars of freedom that extend as far as the north is from the south, and as far as the east is from the west, from sea to shining sea in the United States of America.
Thomas Jefferson stated: “We hold these truths to be self evident that all men were created equal and that they were endowed by their Creator….” These unalienable rights concerning our freedom to express ourselves, our freedom to congregate when we choose, freedom to put our beliefs in writing, and freedom to worship whom we choose are foundational pillars of our democracy.
The Jefferson Memorial which faces the White House is a reminder to the president of our inalienable rights. This sworn statute is retained in the National Archives Building, which goes between the Oval Office and the US Capitol Building is a perpetual reminder to the president and both houses of what our inalienable rights are that we the people possess.
The question has been asked: Does privacy threaten National Security?
It has been said that safety takes precedence over privacy, however, a wise Judge once said that when a man loves to make things right, at no matter what the cost, and a woman equally hates to lie or deceive, even though she may have the ability to do so, but rather repeatedly chooses to be loving and loyal by telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, our founding forefathers tell us that when truth is met by mercy and making things right is kissed by peace that what is said in the privacy of our homes must remain in the privacy of our homes. In this hypothetical case in point, any such exposure constitutes an invasion of our rights to privacy because “we the people” are one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Notwithstanding, in a broken and divided unit of people, whether we be great or small, rich or poor, black or white, educated or illiterate, with one creed or another, when things are said in private by people that do not fear the Lord which threaten the wellbeing and safety of all, maintaining one’s silence may in fact constitute a crime. This is why freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom to congregate and freedom of religion were placed into our Bill of Rights. Without this liberty there is no democracy and without democracy those in power can absolutely dictate whatever they please. We need to think not what our country can do for us, but we need to think what we can do for our country.
