And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If there is no shooting the Yanks do not know how to react.

Deleteiffin that tyrant blood is good for tree growth we about to have a nationwide forest of sequoias.
ReplyDeleteThe Founders knew the fickleness of mankind, yet no matter the safeguards there is always an element that will create undermining work-around's to foundational tenets, eroding them bit by bit over time. What we see now is a wholesale roughshod trampling of The Constitution by the Unitparty. A reckoning is in order.
ReplyDeleteAmericans haven't resisted much of anything for decades unless it affected their assorted entertainments. They could be filling out handwritten tax returns to bog down the IRS, remailing junk mail to themselves to bog down USPS, clogging toilets with paper towels in govt. restrooms, defacing their currency with "FJB", or otherwise sabotaging Big Sister. But nada.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the military patriots who swore to fight agains't enemies foreign and domestic? We have plenty of the latter. We are doomed as long as the military and leo's side with the traitors. We have seen that all over the world they will do as ordered.
ReplyDeleteYour comment is typical of the way we have all been thinking - someone else needs to take care of this. Note I said "We" for I have been guilty of it too. Voting was there to make a difference as was the checks and balances from the 3 branches of govt. Military is taught the sacredness of civilian control (drummed into me). Don't forget the weaponization of govt agencies against any resistance (FBI, courts) has eroded trust. Also, good people were taught only crooks and cheats go into politics, so if you go into politics we know what you are. Pretty much guaranteed only crooks and cheats as politicians.
DeleteThe problem is huge and multi-layered. And for anyone who has studied history you know that once this thing kicks off its going to go ugly, which no one really wants. People don't go to the dentist until it hurts too much to chew. Why should this be any different?
Start thinking about clean up. What can we learn and what changes are needed to protect our grand children and great grands.
Some people leave off the word Patriots, some leave off tyrants. Both are required as Jefferson correctly explained.
ReplyDeleteI am constantly amazed by the wisdom of our founding fathers. Now we have people like JB and KH in power. I’m not long for this world. Thank you God.
