Trevor,
Wow! Your words are strong and very enlightening.
You speak of, “...those people who use love of country as a way to conceal their
treasonous misdeeds...” and note that many government officials, “...probably
consider themselves loyal patriots as well as anyone who follows this board.” Well
said!
How then, may we identify the patriotic, the misled, and the treasonous? Let them
wave the flag, propose tyranny “for the children”, make flowery speeches. It is by
their actions that we shall know them.
We must measure our leaders and their actions against the historical intent of the
Constitution of the United States. Those who pervert the intent of that treasured
document will be revealed for all to see when measured against this most noble of
American yardsticks.
We may well disagree about various government edicts, but the Second
Amendment is clear in its verbiage and non-negotiable in its intent. It is copiously
supported by contemporaneously recorded dialogues. We, the people, ARE
the militia. We must have in our hands the implements to defeat any tyrant -
domestic or foreign, one or many.
Millions of people, many of them our countrymen, have suffered and died to obtain
and secure the rights simply handed to this generation of Americans. We must
secure the intent of this Keystone Amendment or lose the Natural Rights secured
by all the rest. If we fail, the winners may write history as they please. Learned
people through eternity will mark us with shame as the generation that let this
“noble experiment” wither, die, and slip through our fingers.
On other threads it has been rightly discovered that there is no country on this
planet that has the Rights secured for us by our forefathers and fought for by the
generations thereafter. Our options are few and not completely in our hands.
Our duty is clear. Simply stated, WE must be the winner. It is for the tyrants to
determine whether we can win peaceably. The longer we wait, in the name of
peace, the more likely peaceful means will become less than adequate. We must
win soon. If not now, when? If not us, who?
