Liberty or Death: It's More Than Just a Slogan to Me!
Please, fellow patriots, ask yourselves; are you REALLY willing to die to be free? Honestly, because it may soon come down to that very choice in America. With this current political climate of surveillance, wiretapping, and the eventual microchipping of all citizens to account for their whereabouts, we all may soon have to put our money where our mouths are!
How willingly have we, as a nation, surrendered our most basic rights to an authoritarian government whose only interests lie with the architects of the New World Order? All it took was one act of terrorism to scare us into asking for shorter chains and smaller cages. Unfortunately, the frightened dullards, overfed, out of shape, and addicted to entertainment, are the majority, and they have reduced the concept of liberty to the freedom to choose which NFL team to root for, or where to take their vacations.
In the past seven years, I have watched an FCC come down harder on political talk radio, while television still continues to show unprecedented perversion that we once had to pay to see. I have to register every firearm I own and sign for every round of ammunition I buy, while criminal scum can get whatever the hell they want. Even my prepaid cell phone now has to be registered in order to work, while just last year, all that was required for its operation was to purchase minutes.
Big Brother now has forced internet search engine operators, telecommunications firms, and the airline industry to track the average citizen's every move. E-mails and IM's can be read by prying federal eyes with software programs like Bloodhound and Carnivore, alerting the Gestapo to words and phrases that generally express dissent, especially those who quote patriots and founding fathers frequently. Security cameras are being installed in cities worldwide, including America, ostensibly to fight crime and terrorism. In spite of all this, we are still no safer, nor are the terror networks any weaker.
Ben Franklin once said "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." This is exactly what America has done, sitting idly by while the Patriot and Homeland Security acts passed unchallenged and undisputed. The few dissenters in legislature were marginalized or dismissed as unpatriotic. Good luck trying to stuff this genie back into the lamp!
So, are the few brave souls among us really going stand with Patrick Henry when the real O'Brien comes to take us to the real Room 111? I certainly hope I am not the only one! You're damn right I'll fight back; they will have to kill me before I surrender the last of my freedoms, be it to a foreign regime or a domestic oligarchy. We stand at a real crossroads, and I will surely choose freedom every time over the chains of oppression. The new brownshirts will not take me alive, and I aim to go down swingin'! If you desire to kiss the feeding hands that strangle us, then I do not wish to even know your name, because I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees!

Post a CommentThe ball kept rolling with honoring demands for free health care to people living in the USA as citizens without having followed the law to do so. (bankrupting hospitals out here in So. Cal.) It probably started way back when Prescott Bush was chummy with Hitler; the banking collapse that lead to the great depression and people's willingness to pay into Social Security and unemployment (what used to be called) Insurance. I have tried to starve myself into freedom, but the coming election gives me hope, that all is not lost.
I was not scared into accepting shorter reigns but I was in the minority ; earning me labels as UnAmerican and Unpatriotic. But it started with peanuts on airplanes; rather the not allowing them, because it might harm the general welfare of one passenger. (One shcool wants to ban peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in school cafeterias.) It started with gun control (and I do not like guns and would never own one, but give an inch, they will take a mile); the war on the tobacco industry and outlandish restrictions on smoking; the Christian lead assualt on the Supreme Court's decision in Roe vs. Wade, to the point of bombing and shootings.
They've been wiretapping people on a wide scale basis since 1947 when the CIA was created so although I share your concerns completely I realize this is a find much larger then even the political system can correct.
