Who is King in America? Not to Vote is to Abdicate the Throne! The Lord hold accountable!

Who is the KING in America? Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary defined "KING" as: "KING, n. 1. The chief or SOVEREIGN of a nation; a man invested with supreme authority over a nation, tribe or country; a monarch. Kings are absolute."

Kings have "subjects" who are subjected to their will. The word "citizen" is Greek, and has the connotation of co-ruler, co-sovereign, co-king. "Polis" is the Greek word for city, and "politics" was simply the "business of the city."

The Greek city-state of Athens had about 6,000 citizens, and every citizen had to be at the marketplace everyday to talk politics. Citizens who refused to get involved in the politics were liable to penalties. If citizens were not involved, they did not know what was going on, so they were called "idiotes."

W.D. Ross wrote in Aristotle (London, Methuen, 1937, p. 247): "Aristotle's ... citizen is not content to have a say in the choosing of his rulers; every citizen is actually to rule ... not merely in the sense of being a member of the executive, but in the sense ... of helping to make the laws of his state."

Time for another great American (and world) history lesson from American Minute.

I thought this would be an appropriate history lesson for non-Freepers, so why not send it to friends and family as needed. And don't forget the grandchildren.
