I left shortly after my post (the one that was pulled). As I said I was a little out of line. It was a case of overreaction (on my part) to someone on FR being in love with the UN. Truth is I found it shocking!

There’s a quote that goes something like -

“Leave from this place. May your chains rest lightly upon your shoulders and may we forget we ever knew you...”

I wish I could remember exactly how it goes.

“If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.” Samuel Adams, (1722-1803)

Many, MANY people do not understand the UN. Those are the impressionable ones. The UN lovers will not reverse course. It stands as the crux of many of their arguments with other issues (trade, etc.)...so they are forced to stay mentally loyal to them. I try to ignore them and just keep them from screwing others’ threads up.

I like this quote:

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than
the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace.
We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you;
and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

-- Samuel Adams
