A word that historically has meant what some ruler or king has SAID it means..his subjects being forced to live within that meaning.
Here in America, that word and our people were protected with a Constitution..futher clarified with a Bill of Rights.
Those Rights were felt to be natural Rights..given by God, perhaps.but inviolate as long as you didn't hurt anyone else exercising those Rights.
Men bled and died, sweated and starved, and by the application of fire and sword and guns won for us those freedoms.
My personal belief is that the Founders intended those freedoms to border anarchy..that smaller government was better then bigger..that a government big enough to give its citizens everything was big enough to take away ALL.
That perhaps. Like pornography..one knows it when he sees it. That perhaps many cannot.EVER..understand it.
That perhaps it only springs forth from the minds of men that cannot be bought by power, money, or their positions in the community.
I believe that many regard the last word, Bravehart, a single screamed "FREEDOM'...as a quaint, amusing movie prop..as his guts were ripped out..nothing a decent, educated person would get involved in, you know...
Here on these forums we have educated, articulate members that nearly always use their talents to support ever bigger government..support for gun control..support for the insane taxation levels we pay.always attended by the supercilious sneer of a better addressing a lower class citizen.
Provided, of course, that citizen believes that smaller, less intrusive government is better.
With what appears to be the voice of `reason', the sweet siren call of government controls on every aspect of your life.from light bulbs to guns to toilets..ad nauseam..these `well educated' appear to be shills for the Elites.
I believe that the Bill of Rights IS Black.and White.
I despise the Judas Goats that persist in throwing up all shades of gray..to cover the vicious attacks on US.and our Constitution.
I do NOT believe that the Constitution need a `Judge'.NOR a college graduate to understand the meaning of those simple words.
I read numbly the THOUSANDS of words the `well educated' use to barter away YOUR Rights..far more then what is in the documents themselves..as they find EVER MORE power for the Federal Government therein.and less for YOU..a Sovereign Citizen of the united States.
Step back, people, and ask yourself;
Are you comfortable with America today ? Like what you see ? Like the garbage running for office ? Just keep buying into what the erudite, slick tongued snake-oil salesmen are selling you.
You will get much more of the same..as you dumbly watch your country slip into the clutches of a brave New World.
That is exactly what the topic is about.
Sorry you missed it.
