Yep, those are definitely some of the more significant abominations...
or should I say,
OBAMAnations!
anyone? no?
kitteh...?
Aww, aight.
But this is NOTHING new- actually, it's about a century too late...
1913
the beginning of the end.
The year Woodrow Wilson commited the most treasonous act in US history,
He sold our nations collective soul to the devil-
and the name ain't Lucifer...
it's The Federal Reserve Act.
And we've all been drowning in the lake of fire ever since.
Everything our founders did- the thousands upon thousands of lives sacrificed in a century long battle to ensure the most sacred of all treasures in
life is preserved and protected-
lives lost- on all fronts- in the name of LIBERY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
GONE...
in an instant.
The philosophies and wisdom of Thomas Jefferson are the heart and soul of our foundation (a collection of quotes):
God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?
The people cannot be all, and always, well informed- the part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they've
misconceived.
But,
if they remain quiet knowing of such misconceptions,
it is lethargy!
This be the forerunner to liberty's demise.
So,
Let them take arms!
The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable,
that on certain occasions,
I wish it to be always kept alive.
I concede there will be times when it is exercised incorrectly,
but better so, than not to be exercised at all!
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time,
with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
the limited law of the courts does not apply to the free man- because this law is more often the law of the tyrant's will,
and is always so when it violates the right of an individual.
Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty.
Quotes that beautifully capture the nature of the Libertarian:
The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others.
But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him.
A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits
of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of
them.
Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will.
But righteous liberty is unobstructed action according to our will, within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others.
I do not add “within the limits of the law,” because law is often but the tyrant's will,
and always so when it violates the right of an individual.
I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious.
When wrongs are pressed because it is believed they will inevitably be borne,
resistance becomes morality.
Brilliance.
And Dr. Paul is the closest thing to Jefferson, well, SINCE Jefferson.
