“History has taught us time and again that political power always raises its angry fist when timeless principles are lost. We know that without the scale of "self-evident truths" grounded in the "laws of nature and nature's God," every culture eventually finds itself subject to the rule of the gang or the tyranny of the individual. Recognizing this, scholars of all ages have confidently given their hearts and minds to the words, "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.”

And if you speak the truth you will probably be arrested.

wow, we hold this truth to be self evident - certainly not the normal thought of the day. Helots, serfs, slaves and all other specie of patrons now genuflect in willful obedience to compelled compliance, government licenses, victimless crimes, larceny with impunity (2nd plank of the communist manifesto, Social Security, police state confiscations, etc.), alienation of nature's endowed rights and all other enforcements of a malefactor's totalitarianism (all such being antithetical to self-evident truths, the laws of nature and nature's God, constitutional law, common law, freedom, liberty, justice, and inalienable rights).

Mike, this guy sounds like you! ;-)

Bethlehem is the birthplace of the Virtue founded restoration of the sovereignty of the free Sovereign Individual.

Freed from the bounds of earthly monarchs. "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation." Psalm 91

This quote is quit uncoordinated in that we as a world community have never bothered with principle and have always been ruled by the gangs and tyrants. The reasonable put their faith in the rational truth, but this approach is something very new and for the most part unexplored as this quote demonstrates with its unprincipled supernational traditional foundation.  A key principle of humankind preserves it development with the acknowledgement that there is no supernatural phenomena, no gods, no devils, no angels, no tooth fairies, etc., etc.
