WE the People ARE the Gold Standard

[Your Uncle Sam]

 

WE, the People

ARE

The Gold Standard

.

"Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

 

 

************************

The New Colossus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Our wealth is within us. It is not found in Fort Knox. It does not rest within the steel vaulted walls of any bank. It cannot be found in stock portfolios, gold certificates, debentures or bonds. That which we commonly view as "wealth’; the gold, the stocks and bonds, the Real Estate holdings, are but transient manifestations of a value that is deeper and more profound than any object found in the material world. They are only expressions of a form of wealth that cannot be found in any mine, any deep well, any fruited plain, any casino, any financial center, printing press, or jeweler’s safe. These "things" are but mere manifestations of that which makes us truly wealthy, and the envy of other men in other countries throughout our young history. They are just fragile, perishable property compared to that which makes us truly wealthy: FREEDOM.

 

 

All can be destroyed, stolen or lost...save for one thing, LIBERTY. It is the only thing we have upon which all other wealth follows. It will never be destroyed, unless WE destroy it. It will never be stolen, unless WE forfeit it. It will never be lost, unless WE deliberately blind ourselves to it’s value, or trade it for a deceptive promise of security, to a point that WE no longer recognize it’s comparative value to all other things.

 

 

LIBERTY. It is why other men in other lands strive to come here. LIBERTY is what they long for in their secret dreams in those faraway lands. LIBERTY is what gave us Capitalism, Property Rights, and most importantly, Individual Human Rights. Without LIBERTY, and a supreme law, a Constitution, to define that Liberty....we have nothing.

 

 

LIBERTY is the quality that defines us as a Nation to all other peoples in this world. LIBERTY is what has made America the "Gold Standard" of humanity. It is what all the others want, who are deprived of it by their own, parochial, provincial standards, customs and rulers. America, itself, is the great College of LIBERTY to where others come to learn of the God-Given miracle that we have inherited from those visionaries we call our Founders. It is our solemn duty to conserve that gift, and to assure our Posterity the Freedom and the prosperity of it’s promise.

 

 

America is the Gold Scale of the world. America is the standard by which those other men in those other lands consider their lot in life and weigh their fortunes....yet still, always finding themselves wanting, truly wanting.

DANIEL 5:

This is the interpretation of the thing:

[26]MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.

[27] TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.

[28] PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

Pray for HIS mercy

 

God Bless America

Your Uncle Sam
