Stupid enough to post this as NEWS, apparently.
Written 13 years AFTER Patrick Henry’s “Give me liberty or give me death” speech before the Virginia house of Burgesses.
Gee, thanks.
You’re welcome.
Stupid enough to not know that if you have any other nationality you are not naturally an American.
Natural born citizens only have ONE.
That was the whole point of the clause.
DesMoulins was one of Robespierre’s buds until Max decided he and the rest of the Girondins were not pure enough for the incorruptable’s taste. He and Danton and a passel of their cronies got shortened a head. The Girondins were just another group of terrorists. Danton, who for reasons I cannot fathom is constantly presented as some sort of tragic figure, was personally responsible for organizing and financing the September Massacres to make sure the government could not go back on its revolutionary trajectory. Being weepy for Camille because he had a pretty wife and all is like people who make that slick weasel Bukharin some sort of hero and get emotional about Godfather Joe offing him with his Marxist know it all buddies.
Well it almost sounds like they want us to get so depressed we just off ourselves. They want us dead any way possible.
At least fight and make them work for it. May take some with you.
Freedom is an illusion.
Three years after this was written the whiskey rebellion started.
Our version of bread and circuses is more effective than anything ancient Rome ever attempted or could even imagine as possible.
We actually did things like making the poorest people the most likely to be obese, a condition that has never existed in all of history until now.
Freegards
This.
We aren’t doing any good if we’re dead.
Humblegunner, Take your medicine!
I’ve been saying for a while that I am glad to be nearer to the end than the beginning. The way things look like they are headed, the end looks pretty good. That doesn’t mean I won’t fight the good fight.
Better for THEM to die if we can’t live free
It’s a very simple solution. And I predict many of them are going to find out just how simple it is
Yeah, thats a better solution
“No dumb bastard ever won a war by going out and dying for his country. He won it by making some other dumb bastard die for his country.”
-- Emiliano Zapata
(It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.)
“Then out spake brave Horatius,
The Captain of the Gate:
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his gods”
-- Thomas Babington Macaulay, Lays of Ancient Rome
They prefer security to freedom. Secure that someone will always permit, and provide for, their appetites.
1984 is the stick. Brave New World (sex & soma) is the carrot.
Gen. Patton would have said it is better to kill than not live free. Just saying.
