Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death

Excerpt:
"It is not easy to take one’s independence back from those who have taken it away, for they will not give it back. Frederick Douglass understood this. He said a man gets exactly the amount of tyranny he is willing to abide.

If you have tired of abiding it, then stop abiding it. If a committed-enough minority of Americans decides to do just that, perhaps in the not-so-distant future Americans will be able to celebrate their independence again.

As opposed to what has become the Farce of July."

    It is hilarious, the people here in MA celebrating the Farce of July, when they 1) hate the Second Amendment, and 2) would never abide a moment of inconvenience for any amount of freedom. Complete hypocrisy. They just love the day off work.

    My soccer buddy texted a video of Chelmsford Minutemen stopping ins a parade, and firing a volley of muskets. This would have been a massive approval morass, except black powder rifles are not firearms Federally (ATF-totalitarians) or in the Peoples Republic of MA.

    Technically, we could use a truly "Benevolent Dictator". Someone to forcibly get the laws/rules changed to what CONTROLS/LIMITS government.
    All punishments for crimes should be 10x-100x when committed by someone in elected office, or appointed into office by an elected body!
    There should be a division of the IRS that AUDITS Every Elected Official, every year. And any UNEXPLAINED outsized gains by said people are taxed at a 250% (Pelosi would be poor as a church mouse)

    anyone wanting power is ipso facto not qualified to have it

    (not a fan of douglas adams as he hated Reagan the Great and Thatcher the Damn Good)

    Anyone who can be pandered to is not worthy of voting privileges. Anyone who panders is not a worthy candidate. I realize that you were being facetious, but I have seen such pandering for so long that I can't even make humor about it anymore.

    The only person fit to rule me is ... me! Hence, I have voted for myself for president on multiple occasions.

    Give me Liberty or your death is a better option

    remember what Patton said "No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making some other poor dumb bastard die for his country."
