AMERICAN HERO GEORGE MASON

A person that seems to have fallen between the cracks when it comes to one of our real heroes in American history is one, George Mason. He is right up there with the foremost founding fathers since it was he who was chiefly responsible for what we now still have protecting us against the tyrants who are trying to dismantle our precious Constitution. I am speaking specifically of THE BILL OF RIGHTS otherwise known as the first ten amendments to the aforementioned Constitution.

According to author, William Bramley, (THE GODS OF EDEN,) Mason ignored public glory, shunned office, and was never famous for his oratory. He was the one, however, who pushed the hardest for these rights, which are based on Mason’s earlier Virginia Declaration of Rights, written by him in 1776.

These rights almost didn’t make it – but – due to his heated battles for inclusion and influential pamphlets about same, he was supported by Richard Henry Lee & Thomas Jefferson as well as backed by James Madison, he was successful…and THANK GOD!

Can you imagine where we would be in this fast becoming fascist nation if we did not have these rights – legally penned & executed over 200 years ago?!? Right now we are in a death struggle to protect these fast-eroding rights and our other liberties, with the threat of THE PATRIOT ACT extensions looming in our near future, which could very well erode our very liberties to provide us with a presumed “safety” net…yet…the only net it will manage to procure would be one of entrapment, if my instincts prove correct.

So let’s take a moment out and remember this great American, who (while in bad health himself at the time,) managed to provide us with a real safety net for the ages so our own political and social health could & would remain in tact, the way it should be for a free people under God.

POSTSCRIPT: George also did what he could to abolish the “slave trade” which he considered a disgrace, while even stalwarts like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson had their own slaves. We could use a few good men like George Mason today!
