The lifeblood of Liberty is not learning, in itself, but illumined, informed and animated by Virtue morality.

In the absence of the ennobling presence of Virtue, "learning" can be a monumental liability.

The unbridled proliferation and propagation of knowledge that is uninformed by understanding and unconstrained by Virtue has been the virtual undoing of the Human Race.

Under the tutelage of Virtue illumined understanding, a rightly principled person becomes the master of knowlege, not its subject, and virtually everything
becomes to him or her, as the estimable Mr. Jefferson himself expressed it,"self evident".

A distillation of the definition of civilization.

The hubris of those who would presume to endeavor to "rule" us is boundless.
Characteristically, they are breathtakingly ill equipped to rightly rule themselves.

Under the Constitution, the Free Association of Sovereign Individuals - We The People -exercise authority.
Those whom we elect and appoint to administer our governmental affairs are our servants, most assuredly not our masters.

And they are ignorant that the purpose of the sword, Rightly wielded, is to save every man from slavery.

Where Virtue resides, moral authority abides and criminality hides.

Moral stalwartness that is rooted in Virtue is the Palladium of the Liberty of every man and woman.

As Virtue wanes, immorality waxes and values become inverted.

With what Virtue and resolve will any who are being oppressed within, by their own immorality and indecency, oppose oppression that originates without themselves?

Virtue makes the defining difference.

Sovereign Individuals, constrained by Virtue, necessarily value and retain their inherent rights, and freely exercise them in individual or, in free association, corporate self defense.

Reality, acutely rendered, as ever, by the Maestro of Monticello.

A certain means by which those who are ambitious and unscrupulous endeavor to usurp power and undermine Republican government.

Unfailingly, as the influence of Virtue wanes, laws proliferate and, ineluctably, complexity and illegality wax.

The pacifism of a plurality of pacifists is born of their fear and prideful denial of the potential for violence that they have apprehended resides within them.

Responsible firearms ownership is an exemplary test of character.

Rightly constituted character and a concomitant depth of discernment are attributes/Virtues for which opponents of the Second Amendment characteristically profoundly want.

Subversion, by all means, is the metier of the loveless adversaries of Liberty.

As no less a lightless leftist luminary than Mao expressed it:

" Communism has nothing to do with love.
Communism is an excellent hammer which we use to destroy our enemy."

and

" Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."

Under the Constitution, ultimately, it is the association of Sovereign Individuals - We The People- who govern.

The matter of the ownership of firearms has been perfidiously rendered a matter of controversy.

The intentions of the Founders were, and remain, self evident.

To abridge the natural right of the law abiding to self defense is tantamount to the abridgement of their Creator granted right to life.

Something such as is less unreasonable than it is felonious.

As it is written:

" The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage."

~ Psalm 16:6

We, as Americans, have a goodly heritage.

Wisdom of the Ages, as expressed by Nobleman of Nature and illustrious Founder, Samuel Adams.

The Second Amendment is a tangible expression of the Framer's understanding of the inherent right of Sovereign Individuals to
safeguard their Creator conferred Lives, Liberty and property.

The very existence of the Second Amendment is intended to be a constraint on the evolution of State orchestrated chaos.

The loss of Liberty is a manifestation of the loss of Virtue founded Values and vision, thus of faculties of realization.

It is not for no reason that we are enjoined to be:

" Quick to listen ..."

~ James 1:9

From whom, and by what means, shall anyone learn to hear the Truth?

A gifted faculty that is not temporally conferred.

A capability that cannot, necessarily, be cultivated by conventional means.

Where Virtue resides, Truth abides.

As it is written:

" Who hath ears to hear, let him hear."

~ Matthew 13:9

In the apprehension of Truth, receptivity and discernment make the defining difference, unfailingly.

For how many decades or generations can a nation subsist on its patrimony?

Can the Golden Thread of continuity, once severed, be reconnected?

We shall see.

In the sphere of self governance, as in all other spheres, discernment makes the defining difference.

The métier of Mr. Kissinger and his fellow Fifth Columnists:

The orchestration and - "management of American decline".

In actuality, an entirely reflective of reality rendering of the ambitions of the globalists.

Unconstrained power mongering, cloaked in a mantle of spurious altruism.

Beelzebub approves.

As it is written:

"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."

~ Proverbs 16:18

The hubris of contemporary inheritors of the mantle of Nimrod is boundless.

Their efforts will prove to be as unavailing as were those of their megalomaniacal predecessor.
