"It’s like we need another Bundy Brigade every 10 minutes."

In fact, we do. We, as citizens, ought to literally up in arm en masse at the entirety of this government, from top to bottom. All citizens, all the time. That is the eternal vigilance the Founders warned us we would need.

Benjamin Franklin is famously quoted, in response to a woman's question regarding the type of government we had been given, "A republic, if you can keep it."

If we can keep it, indeed. It's time we all started being keepers of the Republic in the manner the Founders would have prescribed and in the manner patriots recently demonstrated for us at the Bundy ranch.

"A republic, if you can keep it."

Precisely the point!

For a brief moment, in a New World inhabited largely with the bravest and most capable, Freedom lived.

As the Founding Fathers well knew, Freedom was an anomaly, existing rarely and lasting only briefly - always falling victim to human greed, envy and lust for power.

Freedom exists no more, period.
