bump..
Ever since that extremist, Thomas Jefferson, at the behest of some of his more nefarious co-conspirators, penned those now infamous words, all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator . . . The scandal and uproar have never ceased.
Did someone say, ‘extremist’?
Two years later, still holds true.
Worrisome...
Should this old thread be bumped?
There’s no better time...
Indeed.

When will you stand up and say ‘no’ to the next intrusion into your lives? What line must be crossed before you actively resist those who have arrogated to themselves the right to determine the terms of your existence? At what point will you refuse to sacrifice your lives and those of your children’s to the statist monsters who claim them as property? At what point will you decide to stand strong and become an enemy of the totalitarian state?
From # 29:
"...260 million unarmed civilian non-combatants killed by their own governments. They were murdered by those exercising the power of the state. They were starved, gassed, tortured, shot, impaled, burned alive, drowned, frozen to death, hacked apart with hoes, axes and machetes a litany of brutality and atrocity beyond human imagination. Hundreds of millions more lived their lives enslaved, impoverished and in despair. Communism, socialism, the immanent eschaton who cares? Ideology is only the particular horse they ride in pursuit of absolute control of mankind."

“When will you stand up and say no to the next intrusion into your lives?...”
Ha! When a leader shows up.
One of the problems I see here on Free Republic...is we are all too old. The generation born in the 1990s needs to get motivated to revolt, and that will not happen until they’re angry.
Which is what I do in my classroom every day.
Thanks for the ping; post. OUTSTANDING.
This little essay of mine seems appropriate for the times. I’m too old to consider the odds anymore.
