Our forefathers would be shooting by now.
Careful, Merrick Garland is just looking for excuses to brand us all. And he has the blessing of Biden, Harris, Clinton, Kerry, Pelosi, Schumer, the Squad, Cheney, McConnell, Roberts, Mittens, and Soros.
I COULD NOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE.
We seem to have forgotten that liberty, like the benefits we earn from hard work, is a reward unto itself. Rather than wasting our time seeking the greatest payout for the least possible effort, we have lost the appropriate sense of value that comes from living a truly free life, albeit connected and contributing to a larger society. I think that our Founders would be shocked and appalled at the corrosive effects of almost universal wealth and prosperity in this country. The greater the prosperity, the greater the desire to be given things; free education, free healthcare, free access to cheap credit, equal outcomes regardless of energy or intellect. All these trends fly in the face of the purpose for which this country was founded. From what I have read, this country was founded to be an ordered society of free men and women, self-governed by a limited Federal bureaucracy. The current management of our Federal government seems to not only forgotten this simple lesson, but appears to have never learned it in the first place.
