The Exodus begins nationwide. Blue to Red, slow walking the process of mobility within blue states perpetuating fear among citizens will be the undoing of socialist/communist agendas of total control. 

A statement in the obvious, considering the lack of peace  concerning the current situation in the U.S..  

Leisure, not being evil, provides for temptation of evil wantonness, when in fact a much occupied man has goals in mind to enjoy leisure time. Obviously the lock down has allowed for opportunistic tyrannical planing. Idle minds and hands have been well fed, primed for insurrection.

A good man hardened through adversity, tempered for service of the Most High. Knowing in whom he has believed. 
"Humility before honor" 

Quite the contrary, Paine being a Deist, who was disenchanted by organized religion, still believed in the Creator and intervention. As are many today disenchanted by organized religions which preach socialism rather than liberty and freedom from oppression. Oppression through fear is not very becoming of a Freed people, whether church or state. 

" Beside, Sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of Nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, Sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave."
Patrick Henry 

Seeing that the "Word" is Holy, ( separate ) in and of itself, it is best well defined. A very wise quote. "Wisdom is known of her children". 

WWG1WGA to MAGA to KAG once again. Sound Leadership is required to apply Commonsense. TRUMP 2020. 4 more years !
Interesting that Jefferson would make such a comparison with that of a Patriot and Christian, Obviously there are sound doctrines of Liberty and Freedom to support such a stance of independence from forced servitude against the socialist doctrine and mindset !  

"Liberty is the hardest test one can inflect on a people. To know how to be free is not given equally to all men and all nations." 
Paul Valery, 

While in the ranks "know" what you represent. 

Why do you think Mike harps on natural law so much, the connection comes from a young youth, experience. so it can be recognized. Atlantean, there are many that describe the same effect. There are many Down links, but few Up links, our founding fathers had the Up link. no doubt. :)

There is something priced beyond gold or silver, Call Wisdom your Sister and Understanding her kinswoman. independence is to be perpetuated, through the act of kindness. the act is Not the focus. yet the act of kindness Lifts one up to and for the independent stand of prosperity. accomplishing the task with kindness. 

Bloomberg comes to mind, buying off the house, entrenched with opposition against President Trump's administration. Drain that damn swamp, while some little (q) queens sit in their ivory towers eating ice cream. I don't think that will age well. 
WWG1WGA to KAG, 4 more years. Trump 2020

The statement was a bit to much, It is about fishing, music, and harmony. The language of music, numerical order, harmony of word and number of sacred text. The compositions as with sheet music are already written. Einstein's quote is simple enough, hurtfully pointed, therefore the knee jerk reactions were to be expected, those who would take it personally. Obviously Einstein was speaking of those who would blindly follow Hitler. 

"Greatly favored" I would say, spoken by a gentleman, in a polite manner the tri-cord of understanding, well understood, able, to still ruffle feathers of emotional private opinion. 

" The altenate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetuated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of the individual, and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this despotism to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public liberty." Washington's Farewell Address. 

As those of Berea knew well, never follow blindly, so it is today. 

Very Clear and to the point !

"Faith" emunah, fidelity-faithfulness, truth, stability, steady, firmness, honesty. Considering our nation was founded upon trust in something other than the dictates of a monarch, the pun at humor falls short. Faith is the most powerful thing in the universe and the ability of some to move it. "Faith is knowledge based, and feared by those who have none". RVP 

The rise of the "welfare state" the Weimar Republic has its hay day, Then the market crash, Germany being hit extremely hard allowed for such a warring people to rally again. Leadership in the military ranks waiting for the right time, Strasser was chosen over Hitler whom they feared, of course Hitler would have none of that, then the Beer Hall Putsch, took care of Strasser. If not for the excessive requirements of the Treaty of Versailles things might have turned out differently. Now there is not a corner on planet earth that is not touched by the economic power of Germany. The NSDAP has been working underground along with the RSDLP in America, the Obamas and Sanders are living proof of such infiltration and influence of domestic and international policy. The quote is spot on. 

Fear of external danger, natural or otherwise moves the masses and individual to act, as seen by the current pandemic. Archer as usual is on point. Mike, Norwalk, also as usual on point. The unruly individual sovereign has always been the quest of rulers to overthrow and bring under subjection to the welfare state by force. Government seeks to put a saddle and tax on anything that moves, lives, or breaths. 

Values of a wholesome family spring forth from the heart of mankind. Instilled within each individual by our Creator, Waffler !
" When the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another." 
Romans 2:14 kjb top of the ladder ! 
Some of the biggest bribes lately, have come forth from the largest of religions who seek to plunder all for the sake of the few. 

The natural law of moral responsibility does not deny the inalienable right to keep and bear arms, or private property. Compassion is free choice, some care some do not. Some walk by the beggar, some kick the beggar, some help the beggar get up. I have seen some that have no compassion for man or beast and will let both die in the ditch ! 

Some states do hear the cry Loud and Clear as also some representatives. The Shaphat "act of deliverance" from those who [plunder] spoil the individual is well noted. Ancestrial Hereditary title to personal property well noted. Our nation was founded to provide an Act of Government in defense of the sovereign individual citizen unprivileged. If an individual cannot be recognized At Liberty, nor can a nation said to be founded upon Liberty and Freedom preach such liberating doctrines while promoting the welfare state by force. Period !
