Samuel Adams

American Patriot & Politician

1722 - 1803

If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

The Republic Retrograde

I don't know if it is age, having recently had a quintuple bypass or just the times but when I read something like:

 

Just messing around here a bit....probably more than I should but the same remains..........a lot can get done without all the "I call a motion crap" seen in monthly meetings. Most people are honorable and well meaning..........however it's obvious a few (the minority) are attempting to destroy the good intentions of others. Imposters. Fakers. Plants. They are liberals not conservatives. Rats are in the house.

 I get really tired.

Oh yes indeed the Parliamentary Checks and Balances deveiopled over hundreds of years to protect and defend the Rights of Minorities and Individuals are

                       Crap

At least in the mind of this piercing intellect.

Who it seems would prefer to discard those bulwarks of Liberty and in a few words, "Depend on the Kindness of Strangers."

It seems like these days people throw terms around without understanding the meaning. They have been turned into synonyms for Bad Dog and Good Boy (Liberal, Conservative)

I mean how could anyone espouse those thoughts and call themselves Conservative if they understood what the term Conservative entailed?

Then there are those who chime in

 you nailed it...this is why I got out of politics or committees.   

Yes we have fallen from, "To these Ends we Pledge our Lives, our Fortunes and our Sacred Honor"

To:  There's too much Controversy, People Raised their Voices. My sniffle sensitive nerves are shatttered I will have to stay home.

Yeah that is what I call a Revolutionary Spirit a True Level of Committment equal to that of the Founding Fathers.

They do not even know or value what they have and if they wake up one morning and it is gone?

They will blame someone else.

Why taking a Stand is so So Untidy!

Some may say I exagerate.

These things could never happen here.

We are too Civilized!

Those who study History are doomed to watch those who do not repeat it.

At the turn of the 19th/20th Century the best place in Europe to be a Jew was-- Germany and Austria.

One single generation separated that time from Dachau.

To paraphrase Ben Franklin, those who will not take a Stand for their Rights and the Rule of Law

Will recieve and deserve neither,

And those people I quoted above??

If they should wake one day and find that what they took for granted has been taken from them?

They will blame others and if asked Where were You when the Republic was buried.

Will return a Blank Stare because they will not understand what you are saying
