But the opposition we face here at FreeRepublic will not be overcome by discussing. The Freeper High Command has decided to oppose Ron Paul and his adherents here on the site, and that's that. Our energy is better spent elsewhere.
I've been involved in the Patriot movement for over 20 years and a lot of people in this country just do not want to hear it. They are so comfortable in their slavery they don 't want liberty.
Liberty means personable responsibility and personable responsibility seems to be too much for a lot of people to handle. So they continue along in their lives believing they are truly free when in reality they are not.
A few years ago some idiot actually looked me in the eye and said "I'm free as long as I do what the government tells me what to do."
