You know I'll stay on the ping list....and so will your 1st name on that list....why do you ping yourself? heehee
Thank you Anna.
You continue to out do yourself.
"Succumb to the mob instead of honor the law abiding", indeed. That is a keeper.
Hi, Anna -- thanks for the ping. Joining you in a hearty TGIF!!!
I've always thought that vigilantes got a bad rap, myself.
The notion of VIGILANTE AS GOOD CITIZEN appears to have some currency in the literature. Vigilante violence is the opposite of revolutionary violence as vigilantism always seeks to restore order or preserve the status quo. Sometimes, it is often said that vigilantism is always conservative.
It's a shame really. Yesterday we saw on our nations Capitol a lone woman who dared stand up to a tyrant our leaders were giving honor to.
Recently we had illegal uninvited immigrants marching in our streets from a nation that is many times more free than China with free elections and can freely determine the course of their nation. They were demanding we adapt to their demands. The woman at the White house knows the price for freedom just as she knew the price for screaming of the injustice she likely witnessed in what was once her homeland. I reckon she weighed the cost and saw it worthy.
What runs through my mind is what if Patrick Henry had been standing at the White house yesterday morning representing our nation or even among the crowd? If he knew who was being honored and the oppression that leader was responsible for would he have remained silent? I seriously doubt it.
We have good people willing to stand up and say what needs saying or do what needs doing. How can a nation born of Minutemen who said enough is enough not distinguish the difference between what constitutes tyranny or what constitutes patriotism? The new Minutemen give us hope. The immigrant who yelled in defiance at the Communist Ruler gives me hope. Those who ridicule ones such as these do not give me hope nor do ones who support people unwilling to clean out the corruption in the free government they live under.
WOW!
Well, glad to see I'm still on your ping list, even if it's an old and moldy one. ;)
Thanks, and well said Anna.
