Fight! Fight! Fight!

A classic!

I agree with Doc.  Also, I am a big fan of Heinlein's writings.  In reference to "the human mind," the assertion is true.  A house divided against itself cannot stand.

I agree with Mike wholeheartedly.  Teddy said this in 1917 in the midst of the socialist/communist/globalist assault on the once-free American republican form of government.  Europe already under fire, never to truly regain the Western values that built it.

No one remembers the Wild West, and neither do you, Waffler.  But there are people who remember escaping communist/fascist tyrannies where unarmed citizens were lined up and shot by their governments.  Now ignorant democratic socialists want to do it again in America.

Not shooting the messenger, the quote is right on.  All those still living that believe in Liberty must fight for it.  This battle is permanently the responsibility of all freedom-loving people.  Without the ballot, it will be the bullet.

"How difficult it has been for mankind, in all ages and countries, to preserve their dearest rights and best privileges, impelled as it were by an irresistible fate of despotism."

Indeed.  Monroe could see this 200 years ago.  The question remains: Why?

What a completely twisted take on Madison's statement and on the teachings and example of Jesus.  Talk about needing a history lesson. 

Fascism is firmly on the Left — even Mussolini said so.  'Free' health care isn't free, as Madison so eloquently surmised.  Our tax dollars pay for nothing but interest on government debt (you know this) now so large it exceeds all the money in circulation.  Jesus was not a socialist — he said "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and render unto God what is God's."  You would have us render ALL unto Caesar and subordinate Jesus as a social justice activist.

You left-wing, atheist, progressive, communists need a history lesson — you praise Cuban dictatorship for providing free health care at the cost of millions of lives and servitude of all.  Despicable! 

Well said, Mike!  Right on.

Since knowing the truth makes one free, discovering the intentional deceptions of the powers-that-should-not-be is a perpetual process.  It's no mystery then that 'liberation' is a process of awakening.

Are the principles by which Freedom was acquired held sacred today?  IMO, not enough, in America or around the world.  Interesting that the UN was not founded upon the principles of Liberty which reveals its hidden purpose...

Yes, I am inclined to agree.  Someone will always need to be studying politics and war, else it will be bread and circuses (like it is now). 

This is the self-evident expression of the laws of nature.  Only an educated people can be free — hence the State's department of education is designed to promote statism. 

The Ivy League universities have been usurped by statist thought, no longer educating Americans about independence, sovereignty, republican principles, economics, law, science — all corrupted now with statist dogma. 

The shackles of servitude are of the hearts and minds of the people.

Again, absolutely brilliant, honest plain-speaking. Would that we had such wisdom among the common man today.

It takes tremendous courage to speak the truth in a world full of deception.

If only!  Not all are honorable enough to follow this logic.

For me, the love of justice is the joy and gratitude of successfully exposing the deceptions foisted upon the masses and tearing down everything built upon that theft.

Know ye the truth and the truth will make you mad. 

The seeker of truth is no stranger to controversy — the primary act is one of discovering lie upon lie upon lie.  You will end up in very small company, as few can face the truth.  The truth is the destroyer of worlds.  Coming to terms with the fact that most "can't handle the truth" is the toughest part of discovering the truth. Yet there it is.

Amen!

If only!  Sorry, but foreigners no longer flock to America for freedom but for the social(ist) services.  If freedom were so contagious, it would have taken hold a lot better than it has been in the Western world.  Look at Canada, the UK, Australia, NZ — all the British commonwealths — how far they have fallen. 

Europe's fatal embrace of socialism is still dominant.  America has re-adopted most of the statist forms of England and Europe rather than protected American's rights to land, hard currency, no taxes on labor or property, free speech, fair elections, a republican form of government — the Founders would not recognize the nation they founded.

The captain of a mutinous crew can do no better.  Trump has really tried to restore so much of the republican ideal, but the Deep State is indeed deeply entrenched.  We will need several successive 'captains' to right the ship and hang a few mutinous traitors along the way...

JW, you're not all wrong here ...

I am more in agreement with this than I was in my youth.  However, the amount of blood shed between so-called 'Christians' throughout history has given Christianity a bad name. Never-the-less the teachings and example of Jesus have ever been the foundation of Western Civilization — knowing the Truth shall make you free has been the spark of Liberty in the founding of the USA.

Regarding the bio for John Jay, he was the 'President' of the Confederation when the Declaration of Independence was signed making him the first President of the united States of America before a Constitution was ratified.  The US Constitution followed years later under which George Washington was the first President of the United States.

What does it tell us that every effort is made to reduce religion to superstitious folly while it is replaced with the most violent and debauched, secularist authoritarianism?  IMO it is self-evident ...

The only way for a government to cause affluence is to get out of the way and stop debasing the currency.  All else is designed to yoke the productive to cause affluence for the state and the politburo.
