Perhaps he could see what was coming.

And the United States is moving toward those who have, and those who have not.

I don't have a big brother. How do I get rid of those who claim to be my big brother, like the IRS?

Take responsibility for your own life, and leave others to theirs.

The United States began its decay around 1917, with government programs like "the new deal". It has been downhill ever since.

It's once again time to spill the blood of patriots, and take our country back from the tyrannical bureaucrats stealing our freedom.

Beautiful.

100% correct. Also, we must show how freedom works by example ... NOT by shoving it down their (Iraqis, Afghanis, etc.) throats in the name of democracy. THEY must decide they want freedom and fight for themselves to get it, or WE will always be paying for them, both in dollars and lives. Without spilling their own blood for their freedom, they will never appreciate the freedom (or democracy) they have, and will detest us for giving it to them. The insurgents will become the "founding fathers" of their country, repelling the bad Americans.

Yes, honor and common sense ... unlike Congress.

The specific "us" in the U.S. would be Congress!

... then the Iraqi insurgents would be free?

Yes!

On the contrary, Liberty consists in the power of doing that which is unrestricted by the law. Laws restrict liberties, and those found guilty of breaking laws are punished. Each law passed further restricts our liberty, not frees us. So which do you want ... laws that "permit" you to do something, or liberty?

i.e. The Patriot Act ... it only infringes "a little" on our freedom!

My pants are at the foot of my bed, and my gun is under my pillow!

... and our leaders stifle our freedom, claiming we are a danger to ourselves and other people. Like infringing on our right to carry handguns because we may kill the criminal stealing our wallet at gunpoint.

Citizen = Militia, as in "A well regulated Militia, ... the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." The 2nd Amendment

Compare this to Clinton's quote "We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans..." and you'd better decide NOW which side you are on. Will you defend liberty with your life?

That's our government, absurd and maddening.

True. Yet our government takes a piece of our "Fruits", saying we owe them a piece of our pie. We don't owe the government anything.

Yes, but only as long as you don't infringe on anyone else's rights. And yes, take the consequences when you do infringe on other people's rights.

The older I get, the more vocal I become.

I may look like a sheep, but I carry a handgun for protection. Wolves ... beware!

Congress has usurped power from the people. Without term limits, they approach absolute power, and indeed they are absolutely corrupt.

It seems union members are mindless morons. All they need is music to stir them.
