Jim, you called Romnutz spot on, and I wish to congratulate you on that prediction.
From nasty trail from RomneyCare to ObamaCare is an easily traced path, with RINO droppings covering it all the way to Romney. The Taxachussetts record of abandonment of the Second Amendment and self defense is long and depressing - from Concord/Lexington to state enforced hoplophobia.
BAH! HUMBUGGERY ! !
Speaking of which, it is noteworthy that the Obama Regime is largely composed of queers. From “CakeBoy” and his Man’s Country bath house buddy Rham Emanuel to “Czar Fisting” the Education Czar, Bammy’s Boyz N Gurlz have shown a predilection for perversion on a scale never before seen in American political office.
Paul Johnson was right when he said that if the American experiment in self government fails, that which comes after will be unspeakably worse. The Upspeakably Worse are in office and with their commie and Musloid funding sources full backing ARE ABOUT TO MAKE THEIR MOVE.
Black Urban Ferals, from Bammy to “Saint Martin of the Purple Drank” are so woefully ignorant that they do not understand the first rule of Race War 101 - “Be in the majority”. The same for the “Bronze People” in La Raza.
Unlike some of my distant relatives in another iteration of socialism, under a German government led by someone far different than Angela Merkel, I shall not allow myself to either be disarmed or silenced.
Free Republic is going to prove to be one of the beacons of light in this period of darkness, and shortly it will prove that ignorance is like virginity - once gone, always gone.
As people learn under the relentless instruction of what Kipling called The Gods of the Copy Book Headings, and Christians know as the Four Horsemen, the Constitution will again become familiar to what has degenerated into “Them Asses”. Them Asses will be forced by reality to relearn the lessons condensed into the Founding Documents and the Old/New Testaments and thus they will once again be “The Masses” which were once the American population.
They will learn that decentralized decision making is better than centralized decision making, and that private property is better for them that the collective.
FReepers, I suggest we all contribute to FR so that this invaluable resource grows. The Internet and FR will be today’s Gramsci. Why? Because knowledge and truth beat agenda and lies.
Why is that so? Because reality just is. And because using that reality we built America.
I agree with your comments.
The Gods of the Copybook Headings
AS I PASS through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.
We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.
We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market Place,
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.
With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch,
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch;
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings;
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.
When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “Stick to the Devil you know.”
On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “The Wages of Sin is Death.”
In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “If you don’t work you die.”
Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
