The birth of any nation begins with the hard work of those who came before! That's what they say! And I sincerely believe this saying!
One score, five decades, three years ago, our Forefathers and mothers brought forth a new land. They gave this land a name called "Maryland." They named this land in the stead of Maryland of the United States. Because those who came here to help build it came directly from Maryland in the United States of America. It was their wish for their children and children’s children to have a place they can call home. They wanted their children to be happy! They wanted them to live in total peace and harmony with each other. So they set within the abyss of the land the basics tenets of democracy.
These martyrs taught their children to practice and realize democracy - a process of self-government in which individuals would operate upon their environment directly and indirectly. They taught them to make decisions for themselves, pursue careers, enter into relationships with others, and otherwise live their lives and indirectly through political representatives accountable for them.
These great men and women instituted a system based on government that makes possible centralized decisions and rule-setting in matters that affect all citizens (the responsibility that accompanies all freedoms), and decentralized decision making and rule-setting in those best addressed on the local level.
It is, in short, a place for a social and political system characterized by a high degree of personal liberty and equally high degree of political liberty, protected by a legal system based upon our Constitution.
The land became the “Cradle” of Liberia’s leadership. It became the “Beacon” of hope in Liberia. It served as Liberia's “Mecca” of academic education!
Maryland, as it is being called in Republic of Liberia, offered the nation’s 18th and long-serving President, Dr. William V. S. Tubman. It offered the nation's first indigenous Vice President (Dr. H. Too Wesley). In addition to that, Marylande offered Liberia four (4) other Vice Presidents and nine (9) Supreme Court Chief Justices.
They say, "The destruction of a land in most cases, derives from incompetent leaders!" I also sincerely believe this saying as in the case of building a nation with good leaders!
This is true in today’s Maryland.
The Maryland Legislative Caucus is incompetent!
It makes Maryland a vessel of seagoing snitches - people lie and destroy each other’s character for pieces of silver. Jealousy and envy reached astronomical proportions! As such, this dull reality demands an immense sense of patriotism in order to build a new paradigm!
Such immense level of patriotism will give us the requisite ability to deal with the complex socioeconomic & political problems in Maryland. This is achieveable while thinking together and making meaning to create a shared perception of events. It will help us all get more of what we want.
What we want is to kick the Caucus out of power democratically!
Abe Lincoln once observed,
“We, the people, are the Rightful masters of both Congress and the Courts – not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow men who pervert the Constitution.” If we the people have the right to “alter or abolish” an ENTIRE GOVERNMENT, as enshrined in our Constitution, how much more a senator or representative? Seeking this RIGHT IS Constitutional!
Therefore the Caucus must go!
I am Thomas G. Bedell, a conservative. I write, speak and work from on the ground in Liberia!
