Liberty - An Analogy

It seems so simple, yet I'm not sure a lot of people get it. I know some do, and like me, they're terrified. I watch in horror, as those in charge of keeping our country alive are hastily slashing America's throat. "But they are trying to help", some will say. No, they're not, the only thing they care about helping is furthering their own agenda. We wouldn't need "focus groups" if this weren't the case. In Hollywood, focus groups are used to discover what will sell. They will change a shows story line to fit with what the focus group seems to want. That's all fine and dandy, because it's fiction. But a politician uses focus groups, even after they've "sold" themselves and been elected. Why? To find the fiction that will sell their programs. And yes, we're paying for the very focus groups that determine what fiction will be boxed up and sold to us. Enough about focus groups and selling.

Imagine if you will a hospital. We'll pretend it's one of those state of the art new ones, will all of the cutting edge medical technology, in every field. It's a well rated hospital, that has a reputation for being great. People know that if they have a heart attack or other medical emergency, they want to go to this hospital. Some even sell their homes and move just to be sure that they will go there if they need to. The staff is pretty well rated, though a few of them have been accused or convicted of some disgusting things, none of which related to patient care. But no one cares, because the supposed "bad seeds" were all fired and replaced with some really great promising new doctors and nurses. For the sake of irony, we will call our hospital Liberty General.

It's winter, and things start changing a bit at Liberty. Doctor's start pulling the plug on otherwise viable patients, just a few here and there, and they've even killed a few otherwise healthy patients, out of complete negligence. Now, Liberty has a great relationship with the local news stations. It just so happens that all of the hospital board are also the owners of those local stations, and the newspapers too! Wow, what luck! No one hears of the mysterious deaths in the news, but a few nurses have started talking to friends and family, voicing their concerns about the danger to the public. They are quickly hushed, a few of them disappear, and people are still going to Liberty for "great" care.

Things have started getting rather ridiculous at the hospital. Patients are dying left and right, and not of natural causes. Doctors have started brutally murdering them. They've pulled the plug of life saving equipment on the more fragile patients, the ones who needed they're help the most. They've turned to old fashioned stabbing and shooting for the healthier patients. The patients' families have witnessed these horrors, and they're talking, but the local news continues reporting on the greatness of the hospital, encouraging people to take their loved ones there.

So the families get together in their time of grief, they know they must do something, even though they're still dealing with the death of their children, husbands, wives, and other loved ones. They decide to call this guy who has a talk show that isn't on one of the local news channels, we'll call him "Blenn Geck". He's skeptical at first, as anyone in journalism must be, and sends a few of his people out to verify this information. Turns out, it's credible. So he airs a show immediately on Liberty, as he knows it's imperative to the people who aren't hearing anything on their local news to hear about what's going on.

We'll stop there, as I think it's pretty obvious where this analogy is going. The hard truth is, this analogy to what's going on in our country is not inaccurate. It's exactly what's going on. If a place like liberty existed, it wouldn't have made it to the point of killing all patients, not even with the lack of local news coverage. This is exactly what is happening in our country, with our leaders and our "news", with our loved ones, with our country itself. It isn't a slow death, but a fast one. Why hasn't it been stopped? Why aren't people outraged? The next time you hear a politician demanding more government involvement, more spending, and more redistribution of wealth, remember Liberty. It wouldn't happen if it were a hospital, but it has happened to just about every branch of government. They were hijacked long ago by the PC crowd pushing special rights under the guise of "equality". No one stood up, those who did were quickly dismissed or went missing. It's happening now at our highest level of government, the one in charge of making sure we remain free. They will decide whether or not liberty still exists for us, if we let them. They would love to take it away. Much like the families of the fictional patients, we must ring the alarm bells, and put it to an end.
