Life has many perils and that is no less true for the collective life known as the United States. Those perils which exist on the national scene affect the personal lives of all. The perils are basically three on the national front: liberals in both parties, judges at all levels, and the ACLU, all three being inextricably linked by liberal anti-liberty agendas. Then there are those, the Plus, that don’t think and blindly follow whatever someone of their particular liberal persuasion states, true or not, which in the case of liberals mostly isn’t true, and if it is, they twist it to suit their agenda or conveniently leave out the facts that don’t fit their argument.

In the public arena of governance, the ills can be traced to the policies of a Congress that has ignored the provisions of the Constitution since FDR introduced the New Deal. The limits on government has been cast aside in favor of social programs that do nothing more than increase for millions of people the dependence on government. The more the liberals promise, the greater the number that vote for them, and as a result, the greater the number of idiotic programs put forth by Congress designed to help the downtrodden, but which only serve to increase government control in all areas of life.

Courts at all levels are guilty of aiding and abetting the destruction of limited government and adding to the power that it wields over the citizens. The liberals in Congress work mightily to install liberal judges so that their agenda can be forced onto the nation. They know judges will do what is forbidden for them legislatively. The facts show that the decrees issued by liberal judges are generally unconstitutional, in that their rulings force solutions that only help erode the principles and values upon which the nation was founded. One of worst is the Supreme Court decision that allows cities to use imminent domain to take private property so that private developers can build structures that will bring more taxes to the cities. The court simply changed the definition of the word public use (for legitimate government functions) in the Constitution to mean for the public good. Of course, the liberals don’t care that the ruling destroys the liberty to own property free of government confiscation since it increases the tax take. (See Eminent Grab this site)

Then the third peril is the ACLU which has installed itself as a quasi-fourth branch of government. They claim to be looking out for the liberty of all, when in fact they are only looking out for the dubious liberty of the groups that want to behave in unseemly ways; those who don’t want to conform to the values of God; and those who think the government should provide for all of societies wants and needs. The ACLU fights anyone and everyone who mentions God in public and those individuals and groups that set certain requirements for membership. The Boy Scouts is a good example of ACLU’S continuing hatred for them due to the exclusion of homosexuals and the Scout’s fidelity to God. If it is moral and right, the ACLU will be against it.

The Pluses are the people who blindly follow the foregoing three for several reasons. One is a party affiliation that will never change no matter how bad the conditions become caused by politicians in their party. Two, many of that group also believes that government should provide for every desire they have in life. And three,  it seems they have never grown out of their childish need to have someone provide for them. Government becomes their “providing parent” that drains resources that should go to the public upkeep of constitutional delineated government functions.

In Sorting It Out, it is plainly seen that the Perils and the Plus, when viewed as interconnected entities, reveal that these groups rely on each other for their survival and care little for limited constitutional government. It is about power, control, greed, and grab, all of which can be properly labeled, socialism, communism, fascism, and tyranny.  We cannot survive long as a nation if these evil ideologies continues.
