A plea to the future 11 years after the D.O. I in 1787 during the year the Constitution becomes ratified? No, not a plea, but a positive statement with a staunch faith in Americans of the time will continue to do what it takes to keep americans free. Let's not let our forefathers down.

The importance of knowledge both good and bad is essential and none of it should ever be buried and kept from anyone. Yes Maggie, that is the mass media's job, to keep your mind and others of course, occupied while the real stuff goes straightinto the shredded left to patriot news sourced to print the truth.

Waffler, if anybody has their head buried in the sand it is you. Your words ---- Actually forget it, just go back and read your entire post over again and your idiocy jumps right out at anybody with a half of a brain that has even been taught a minimum about our constitution and the reason for it. Maybe you should have a word with the guy who digs your head out every time and he could give it a miss one morning.

Mike, thanks for the text as it reinforces my idea of the type of man you are and I.m glad to say I agree with you and in many ways we are alike. I understand getting out of the boat we're in is not the easiest thing to accomplish but don't stop looking for that way, It is there! Thanks again.

Obviously Jefferson believed there'd be enough rebellion to keep America going for a long time. Thus he was wrong as rebellion did not happen again until....well, until when? The war between the states or prohibition? Not once has there been the type of rebellion Jefferson spoke of and if he was here today I venture to say he'd ask..."Well, what are you waiting for?"-----5 stars for the intent of Jefferson but thumbs down for those who never listened.

Mike, do I dare say that this definition does not pertain to you and others met and those not yet met? Though the criminal excesses of the statist theocracy make freedom an unknown to which many dreamers can't fathom, I find it hard to believe you are one of them because I know I am not. Less yourself there are many who fit the bill and need to hear the message so I don't find fault with the message and at the same time I do not find fault with the messenger either.

It is the very thing that consequences occur that gives an individual his freedom in that if not for consequences a man could not be free. What a relief it is to at times do nothing when the act of doing something can only create a bad consequence. There is no better a feeling of freedom when doing nothing is the right thing to do.

Practicing means putting into action and putting into action means living it in your own life and of course that means living how our forefathers lived. Can you handle it?

And justice is to the rights of the individual and should win out in each and every case.

Once a man loses his fear of responsibility then he will notice what freedom is and from that moment on life becomes living the life of a different man and the past becomes the past, the future is not here yet, so all that remains is the moment, and a different man to live it with no fear to guide him but only wisdom.

RBESRQ.- Personally, I found power when I allowed God into my life. As to your idea that "Critical thinking became obsolete when we gave over our self to the God delusion" I can't understand at all because again, critical thinking became easier when I gave of myself to His critical thinking.

Anonymous, You speak of complete economic freedom as if it has no controls over it in a free society based on the rights of man. You couldn't be more wrong, If the rights of the individual are first and foremost protected by man with constitutional judicial methods to protect them, any business or individual would be stopped in their tracks if the violation of an American Freeman's rights were even hinted at. The natural rights of the individual, every individual, is out of bounds for anyone to violate.

Another way to say this is that he who watches evil prevail perpetuates the evil to carry on. As the apethetic witness of it will not be a threat to its end it will continue to be used and the apathetic is still as guilty as the blatant evil doer.

It doesn't matter who says it, if it's true, the truth will come out.

Maybe he's (the president) kept the ones he intended to keep but certainly not all the ones he made.

E Archer, you nailed it with your comment about doubling it. Well said.

Depends on who wields the power.

I think it would be very useful to rid ourselves of the parasites in DC and believe it necessary for freedom to once more reign in the land. Does that make me and others who plead this way tyrants?

This certainly covers Obamacare does it not? It's perpetrated under the shield of law and in the name of justice for all. Yes, the lie called Obamacare fits the bill in both ways. 5 stars for the quote and thumbs down for Obamacare.

E Archer, very well said!!!

Virginia, I must disagee, no matter what bureaucracies were created after the revolutuin they were not the ones of King George as his law was booted out the door. Even then, up until the war of 1812, bureacracies were limited in their power with a few duties to perform. The war between the states brought out more beauracracies and then the banking act of 1894 set off the beginning of the landslide of beauracracies such result being what we are witnessing now in the present. No matter the case, the fact remains a lot of bureacracies were ended with the revolution of '76'.

Ben, of course God is absolutely free and it is only men who put limitations on God. His power is unlimited in the sense he can be a totally free individual and responsible to those who serve Him at the same time. Mankind has only begun to understand His power and first and foremost is that there is no limit to it.

Good catch Mike. It is only the ignornt that can believe hiring 16,000 new IRS agents is creating productive jobs. It is those that produce wealth who must pay their wages. After all (ha ha), money to pay their wages doesn't grow on trees.

It's a good quote for a good laugh but there is no truth behind it as the revolution of '76' proved it wrong and the same will happen to bureaucracies in the revolution of '?' yet to come.

A freeman who runs a business is limited in his freedom when he is dependant on those that serve him in the business of running his company and he must oversee these workers. Being free means being responsible and being responsible limits one's independence in that he owes both himself and those who work for him responsible action. And of course any man who has a family owes to them responsible action. The quote makes perfect sense.
