Agree Mike, that must mean that the Waffler Worlders are willingly part of a slave and fearful race. Fear of having to be responsible for their own actions and dependency on government power to make those who wish to be free slaves like they are. Very sad.

The unity of freedom relies on the self evident facts, (not the multitude of opinions), of natural laws that point out the reality of freedom based on the respect for each and every individual born into life on planet earth. It is plain to see that the life of an individual human is no more important than the life of cattle being led to slaughter.

Very well said Archer!

As the quote stands, isn't that what criminals such as rapists and murderers live by? On that basis, thumbs down.

In this day of technological tyranny I still wonder if even the methods of John Galt would go unnoticed by the slave drivers of modern day. To believe that any groups that have decided to simply drop out are not known of by those that rule by tyranny is at least a mistaken belief. For any group of John Galts the method of deliverance from the 'king' is to be able to keep moving and in small groups rather than large ones.

A fine analysis Mike, but I wonder, will it work in the reverse in that with the absence of liberty with tyranny the rule, will liberty become known, by enough (the silent majority), to turn the 180 degrees needed to right the wrongs that've been done? That is the question especially in this day of technological tools of tyranny in use today.

..."the purest source and original fountain of all power"....This is what each individual, Americans in particular, need to rediscover for themselves and then to start using that power.

This is simply because one is almost totally in control of ones life only answerable to the consquences of his ill will interference toward others.

The will of the practitioners of vice have won out over the practioners of virtue but this cannot last as the basis of the practioners of vice is a foundations of lies and the truth will out in the end.

If we can get back to what the quote speaks of it would be like breathing in fresh air again.

The chains of mail are the natural laws we are all bound to and answer to whether we like it or not. The incumbrance is that we are bound to and answerable to these laws for our irresponsibilities and by accepting responsibility the incumbrance is that much lighter. We are living in an era where none, especially our "leaders", are answerable to their irresponsible actions.

Government is a dangerous servant and even more dangeerous a master. paraphrased.

Your line Mike, we hold these truths to be self evident.

I'm as free as nature's god made me, and the only laws I am enslaved to are nature's.

We are born into anarchy responsble only 'to' ourselves. Restraint where the rights of others are concerned is being responsible 'for' ourselves or i.e. responsible for our actions and where others come into the picture we become responsible 'to' them but not neccesarily 'for' them.

J Carlton, I'd love to take you up on that offer someday and who knows, maybe someday the opportunity will arise. One never knows where the road of life may take one. Thanks for the offer,

Yes, because fools will still be fools whether they are free or not. In truth, it is fools chasing their folly that is leading America to ruin today, and it is fools that let them get away with it and by so doing aiding and abetting the fools that are ruining America. It's tough to rate this quote because it's in question form so I won't bother.

More like freedom from being responsible for ones' actions often at the cost of someone else who suffers to pay for ones' irresponsibility. Who paying now for the irresponsibility of banks and other financial institutions by having to bail them out of the mess they got us into in the first place? To answer this question just look in the mirror. 5 stars for the accuracy of the quote.

A man in chains is nothing more than a resource and when he can no longer perform properly he is discarded like any other resource that's discarded when it can no longer do what it was meant to do for the benefit of its master.

So Waffler, you do admit that we have a REPUBLIC though it may be called a democratic republic with this remark of yours -----"The term "free" world may not be an absolutely correct construction but it was meant to define those nations who practiced DEMOCRACY as opposed to those nations that had some other kind of Republic..." -----If taken literally as I'm sure you meant it to be taken, you admit that we have a republic first and its democratic function is the type of republic it is. Are you trying to have it both ways and when it suits you call our republic a democracy and when it suits you again it is a democratic type of republic. You are truly a hypocrite.

Show this quote to the EPA and I'm sure they'll laugh at you.

If he means by the first phrase militias made up of sovereign freemen, then I agree with Gibbon.

Before the deprecation of feedom can occur, the deprecation of individual life and its eternal value must occur first.

Judith, a thought revolution? Sounds promising because it seems to me what is first needed is for everyone, one mind at a time, to change them. After all, it is because of the control the shameless elite excercise over the minds of Americans to support and back up their lies, a thought revolution sounds like exactly what we need.

I pledge to the flag of the united States of America, and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands....----Just so we don't forget Americas' form of government. There is no free world or country left on planet earth.
