“Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem (By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty)”

Maybe in 1776; Maybe? Now it is "The State gods carry guns, but peace only under slavery." 5 stars for what once was, a thumbs down for the lie that it is now.

It is sad, that we must fight this battle for Liberty again, upon our own soil. Some who shed their blood in WW II, patriots within our ranks, have seen the fight coming for a long time. Knowing the trap was being set !

A good motto for a state that gives us Barney Frank, John Kerry and a host of ultra left people.

Just another example that power corrupts when people forget the foundational principles of liberty and the responsibility that comes with it.  The American Revolution threw off the monarchy, but we can never expect that the war is over.  The lust for power will never be completely extinguished and we must forever be on our guard from within our own ranks.  It is war still — if you do not see that, you have already been conquered.
