From the website www.rwva.blogspot.com we are reminded of the heart of the matter regarding freedom. The simple fact is this: Our freedom was bought with the blood of patriots and tyrants. We must be ready, willing and able to shed the blood of tyrants and their agents if we are to remain free.
We must win "the soft war" to avoid necessity of fighting of "the hard war."
We have a choice in the matter:
Stand ready, willing and able to spill the blood of tyrants, or kneel and live in chains. It is the same choice The Founders had in 1775 - and it has not changed.
Freedom isn't free.
We have freedom because somebody fought for it.
We keep it because we are willing to fight for it.
We lose it because we are not willing to fight for it.
We are fortunate that the people who fought and won it for us starting back in 1775 also gave us a written guarantee (that is, the Bill of Rights) that we would have the tools to protect that freedom. But, of course, they couldn't guarantee that we would have the sense or the will to do the hard work of defending Liberty.
It doesn't hurt to recognize how far we have slipped in the battle to maintain freedom here in 21st century America. It's even more important to understand how far the war on terrorism is going to further erode our freedoms. We have to have the sense to know the fight is HERE, and NOW. Once we know that, then we must be convinced of the rightness of our cause, and have the firm determination to use all of the tools available to us in reversing 70 years of creeping socialism.
If we can win the 'soft' fight in the political arena, we'll also win the 'hard' one by avoiding it entirely. Believe me -- you DON'T want to have to fight the 'hard' war. There's no joy in running for your life from people that want to kill you. Win the 'soft' fight by winning the political game, and there'll be no lying in the mud bleeding, no separation from home and family, no interrogation of your children by government agents, no lifetime prison sentences, no public demonization of "those domestic gun-nut terrorists".
