Indeed
“...during the first 88 years of this century, almost 170,000,000 men, women and children have been shot, beaten, tortured, knifed, burned, starved, frozen, crushed, or worked to death; or buried alive, drowned, hung, bombed, or killed in any other of the myriad ways governments have inflicted death on unarmed, helpless citizens or foreigners.”
That sounds horrendous, but at the funeral of Gerald Ford, George W Bush told the world that racism was the worst possible thing, so that puts that in perspective.
Excellent post! Thanks for sharing.
Boy, some of the conditions described in the article sound just like what we are facing today in this country. Thanks for posting!
Incredible article! Thank you. What do I get from this article? Every Christian should be armed to the teeth!
BOOKMARK
Indeed—The hair on the back of my neck was standing up while I read it.
How else do you get rid of a Monarchy? You cant vote them out, they wont go away. And the Roman church fully supported the monarchy.
When someone claims a right to rule your life, you have to deal with them somehow.
Bastille day is a good thing.
Don’t know much about history do you?
Time after time...
NEVER give up your guns
bkmk
Clearly, you have to brutally kill hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians! After all, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. /s /s /s
I do indeed. And I know that prior to the Revolution, the Catholic church in France had a right to 10% of every farmers crop,,, period.
Do you believe France would be better off had they kept their absolute monarchy?
Do you believe the way they went about abolishing their monarchy was anything other than purely evil?
I’m always in favor of a Monarchy being removed. And I laugh at how monarchist apologists love to fawn about how benevolent they were.
The bottom line is that the Monarchy was absolute. The Roman church supported this and said his right to rule came from God, not from the people.
This is reason enough to revolt. And there was no way to do it that wouldn’t become bloody, not in Europe.
And much of the blame should be laid at the feet of the Vatican and the French Monarchy. Had they not engaged in their unholy enterprise and ruled by force rather than consent, the revolution would have never happened.
Claim to rue over others? You pays your money, you takes your chances.
A monarchy claims the right to rule over you and direct your life. It takes your crop and gives it to the Church.
The church says the monarch represents God and need not answer to the people. The church provides is soldiers to be the kings bodyguard.
Other than violence, I can see no other way to overthrow this situation besides begging the king to relinquish his claim to power.
Begging,,,
Russeau’s Noble Savage is the worst relic of that period. The environmental movement, anti-western thought, foreign-policy, class warfare is all derived from the idea that idyllic life existed save where European’s corrupted it with Christianity science and civilization.
