Reply Justin, Elkland 7/6/10 At the risk of being unpopular, Liberty can be protected by violence, but never created by it. Reply jim k, Austin,Tx 7/6/10 We are definitely in the do or die stage in this country with the commies now running it into the ground. Reply Mike, Norwalk 7/6/10 (-; Justin, why would that be unpopular? ;-) That's accurate. I might say it: One way despotism and tyranny can be beaten back is by violence, but liberty can never be created by violence. I took 'blow' in a positive non-violent attitude (sort of a Gandhi kinda thing), acting responsible as an individual sovereign and not as a helot, serf, slave or other suppressed entity under the statist theocracy. Reply RBESRQ 7/6/10 Justin, to Rabbie that's exactly what he meant so you were spot on. He wasn't that ignorant to think it could be created - perhaps his Scotch got the better of him. Very Churchillian. Reply RBESRQ 7/6/10 Oops Reply Anonymous 7/6/10 Amen to that, Freedom Forever!!! Reply E Archer, NYC 7/6/10 As long as there are those that wish to yoke us, we must fight for our liberty. Reply Ron, s 7/6/10 Reply AStudentPhilosopher, Utah 7/6/10 Liberties should only be protected violently when you have run out of non-violent options, it's that important. ... And the U.S. is not there yet, we can still get elected, we can still talk, discuss, yea our direction is deplorable, but there is a long long way to go before we are out of non-violent options.
