indeed
Gonna pass tonight but please let me know what you think is happening and being told here. Currently curious but not that much to watch it right now.
Yup. That's my favorite part and why I came to FR lo those many years ago.
Lots of smart poindexters here.
Yea, we fundamentally disagree. I see the 'right' as something that is intrinsic to all humans upon birth.
You see it as the action taken in pursuit of those rights.
Try this one on for size.
We go to Disneyland. We have paid our ticket, which gives us the RIGHT to ride the Pirates of the Carribean ride.
So we have that right.
Now, somebody says, after we've waited in line for an hour, that no, you can't get on the ride.
You say, but I got a ticket.
And the fight is on. Cause, yes. You DO have the RIGHT, as per your ticket. Riding the ride isn't the RIGHT. Your possessuion of the ticket is your right. Getting on the ride is merely the exercising of the right that you already had.
See the diff?
Another example:
Slaves were slaves, yes. They were not allowed to exercise their rights, but those rights existed all along. That's really what the founders were saying.
They were saying that man does not grant rights, but people are born with certain of them.
And the founders tried to protect us from man taking these rights away. intelekshully speaking.
Yes they did.
As I sit here waxing philosophical, I see those protections crumbling as they come under attack by evil men.
Didn't they also say something about their form of government requiring a certain type of populace in order for it to function?
I forget the exact wording.
And now we find ourselves in the middle of a war to save our country from those evil men (the derp state).

Nobody is doing civil war. Move will be soon. No pressure. There is a plan. Q’s first several post were just scenarios of what would have happened then if all came to light at that moment. Imho. The plan is to avoid that.
Those were the days... So much fun!
I would argue no man owns anything....after all ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by lifes worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature (Luke 8:14)
Yet...it is for us to stand and profess the truth.
I care not that another fail to provide me monetary gain for my words...or provide it for those who rail against the truth. I know the truth and the Lord, who triumphs.
I’m as practical as the next man and fight to ensure my family’s liberty as I can in the day to day world of the short game. Work hard, love those around you, live within your means, and praise God.
The long game isn’t our fight. We have only to ensure our faith and offer it to those we love. Evil will fail in the end. In our lifetime, unlikely, but possible. But the endgame, independent of the century, shall be sweeter than honey.
To be honest my greatest fear is that my wife and children do not make it into Heaven. I fear I’ve failed in my duty as a husband and father in educating and guiding them in the Word.
I’ll live my life and speak my words as I please. Should another “silence” me, I’ve still spoken. Should another cut me down, I’ve still lived.
Uncanny or observant to mans nature and the systems weaknesses?
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.
PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON’S uncanny warnings in his 1796 Farewell Address are coming to pass...
Bout Damn Time!
Damn Derps
Those folks have been impatient starting 30 minutes after the election results were finalized.
“why isn’t the wall built yet!”
“why isn’t the swamp drained yet!”
“damn, another do-nothing POTUS. He lied to us!”
I repeat myself. Cw2 in the sense of the Cw ain’t happening now or in the near future. If it does it wont be televised and would be like Bosnia.
I'd say it was uncanny, even visionary for GEORGE WASHINGTON to have the Wisdom to succinctly describe actions that could lead to the downfall of a great nation if left unchecked.
GEORGE WASHINGTON was a praying man, and GOD saw him through. All the more we should pray for PRESIDENT TRUMP.
