Most of the early Americans were self-reliant. Most present day Americans don’t even know what that concept means. From Daisy Luther at theorganicprepper.com:
Independence is about a whole lot more than firing up the barbecue, drinking some beer with friends, and shooting off fireworks. It’s about more than blindly waving a flag.
It’s about the way we live our lives every single day. And 241 years later, independence is still the most revolutionary act you can commit.
Now, regardless of how you feel about this administration or the previous one, I think we can all agree that many of the liberties our parents took for granted are now in trouble.
The government, in general, cannot be trusted. The media cannot be trusted. Those agencies that make all the onerous rules “to keep us safe” cannot be trusted.
Real liberty is up to you. Use it or lose it.
Many Americans are completely dependent upon the work of others to survive.
I’ve often written about how we’ve become a nation of consumers instead of a nation of producers, and with that decline in productivity, we have lost much of the freedom we once treasured.
This is because they are not independent. They are the opposite of that – they’re dependent.
