Well worth repeating:

Maybe if people saw that they have basically two choices, freedom or tyranny, they would pick political freedom and learn about the Constitution as the legal basis and protection of their political freedom the alternative being slavery to the tyranny of the feds.

That reminds me of the quote Mark Levine had for his book liberty and tyranny

We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word many mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name- liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny.

The problem is many people have forgotten the danger of socialism and they have been taught definitions for words that make no sense.

Thanks Torcert. We just need to try to influence and really, educate, as many as we can. With God’s help, and by his grace, I think we can go far.
