Keep talking like that and I’ll tell you you’re the one who’s lost the spirit of liberty. Here you are trying to convince everyone that the spirit of liberty is lost, but to do it you’re telling the only ones who still have a fighting spirit that they should drop it.

Did you miss the entire point of why this reference was posted?

History is a perfect teacher. Yet so many delude themselves into thinking it does not apply to us at this time.

You can pump yourself up with all the false bravado and rah-rah patriotism you can muster, and it will not change the fact of what has been done to us, where we have arrived and what our condition is.

A 'fighting' spirit that thinks it can endure and win by ignoring reality because of Normalcy Bias is a spirit that is already defeated, it just does not know it yet. Just ask the editors of the Munich Post.

If we're going to fight for what is left of our liberty - we are going to have to get our minds out of the past and recognize the ground we are standing on and that our enemy has the heights.

Practicing insanity by thinking we can just vote more Republicans and 'win' in the face of a fundamentally transformed government that is now a tyranny, is the height of willful ignorance.

You cannot fight a tyranny via civil means.

“You cannot fight a tyranny via civil means.”

Exactly. The only hope for what this country once was is to build on the ashes of the corrupt nation.

I don’t think you’re listening.

The first and only thing that really matters is the spirit of Liberty. When you speak of this spirit as though it were dead, you are its enemy.

“What has been done to us” is ultimately a losing strategy. This can be seen in the fact that no matter how many times it is said that “they’re doing it in plain sight” or “they’re telling us right to our faces,” the tyrants are still afraid of the people and they work under cover of darkness.

Evil is not a strength but a great weakness.
