Very well said E Archer, NYC

" For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand." Eph 6:12, 13. King James Bible. The old 66, the Rock upon which the Republic rest. God Bless and Semper FI

Absolutely, bread and circus for the masses. 

The wolf has never been far from the door, now it is sitting at your table. 

A little single malt and a good cigar, cheers. 

Waffler your a babbling idiot. Doing your masters biding. 

Absolutely, beware of politicians with good intentions. 

Seeing Cicero was counted as an enemy of the state for wishing to return to the Republican form of government, I would say his statement lends light to the struggles of his time. Question all authority when tyranny rules. Such as the current state of affairs in the U.S.A. 

A little more context. Stuart Chase, a Fabian socialist promoting and favoring a modern "capitalist welfare state" modelled after the Bismarkian German model welfare state. Now the siege seen more clearly upon the Constitutional Republican form of government established in the USA. 

The "wolf in sheep's clothing" Fabian socialism vs Gladstonian classical liberalism. The UK wishing to hold power globally through the promoting of the modern " capitalist welfare state" teaching communist tenants world wide. Post WWII 
The quote has nothing to do with a religious belief system. 

The American experiment, the break away from monarchy rule.
Not shooting the socialist messenger, but, the search for "truth" concerning our "ancient liberty" Chophshiy financial liberty, freedom from bondage and tax, at your pleasure, without care. This by way joins with Eleutheria liberty, Physical, manumission from slavery a freed individual, no longer to be enslaved. Which then comes forth Apeleutheros liberty, Spiritual liberty granting access to the presence of God a freed man. When religious held monarchies refused to grant there children these inalienable rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, well defined. The experiment came forth through and by Divine Providence. The individual sovereign. God Bless and Semper FI 

I know you have faith Archer, I've always enjoyed your sharp mental capacity and depth of understanding. I did not mean to talk at you. It is many years later now and perhaps my writing skills have become better. I'm a wild card put in the deck to communicate abstract thought. God Bless and Semper FI

The amazing journey of exposing corruption and bias within the roman catholic religious belief system. Bringing to light the doctrines of Grace, Liberty and Freedom from one of the, if not the most indoctrinating of socialistic/communistic oppressive systems on planet earth. 

Adlai E. Stevenson II, a man who spoke out against corruption, found himself through and by his own belief system imbedded deeply with socialism/communisms ills through the State Department. Then spreading his brand of globalization along with the UN throughout Europe. The quote seems warm and fuzzy, yet mis-directing of the intent to deceive the public sentiment as so many current politicians do. Belief systems always carry over into political control of policy. 

A lie is sooner to become gosip and like fire travels quickly. Yet the truth remains stedfast, grounded in the laws of nature provided by our Creator. 

Truth sprouts anew as an old tree, when watered. 

"The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge." Proverbs 14:18

Ignorance is the turning point, when the dog bites one in the butt. 

Keep the brush fires burning. 

MAGA to KAG, never forget WWG1WGA, just saying. 

Will somebody please expound to me, What, "truth" is. In all it's facets. I really would like to "know". Seeing it makes man Free. 

"Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy. Open rebuke is better than secret love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful."
Proverbs 27:4,5,6 KJB

Without Economic Liberty, there is no political freedom. 

A very pertinent observation, considering the current state of affairs. The grand old party's lack luster of approach to dealing with corruption within the ranks of power shows the hand of dirty money. The FDR post WWII establishment plows the field of  continued socialistic, progressive movement to a communistic pensioned society. All the while continuing to tear down the American individual sovereign base society. It is very disheartening we have become so far removed from original intent to support our Individual Liberty and Freedom from oppression. Passive is the mass of Patriots in a cold hard winter that approaches quickly. Leadership is bought and paid for, made evident on full display. Invasion and overthrow on full display. Lets us play our cards close to the vest. Hearth and home of our family units, those that continue to work and succeed by merit. Not a social promotion. 

Considering nature rises up through the individual, and the individual is a part of nature, free expression of thought being the first amendment. It is a stand alone statement. The sentiment of the people chose Liberty and Freedom over chains and servitude.
