I agree totally.
Most (including most Freepers) love to talk a good game but few are willing to put their life on hold and risk same for the benefits of liberty.
No more need be said.
You know who you are and I know what I must do.

Unfortunatly the marxists have done a good job of destroying the “American Mind” over the past fifty years by taking over the schools. All teachers should be fired and then rehired after a lengthy interview process, (I can dream can’t I?) Immigration has also killed the American mind, multiculturalism is the death of nationalism. Don’t wear a t-shirt with the flag on it kids, it offends people. The wedge has been driven in quite well by the marxists when they took over the democratic party splitting this nation in two.

Excellent.

Is it just me or does this editorial strike others as unusually bold and ballsy? Even for the Wash Times?

Taxation WITH representation hasn't worked very well, either.

Under title of "The future of democracy in America" at UVA's web site containing quotations of Thomas Jefferson, appears this statement from Mr. Jefferson:

"If we find our government in all its branches rushing headlong... into the arms of monarchy, if we find them violating our dearest rights, the trial by jury, the freedom of the press, the freedom of opinion, civil or religious, or opening on our peace of mind or personal safety the sluices of terrorism, if we see them raising standing armies, when the absence of all other danger points to these as the sole objects on which they are to be employed, then indeed let us withdraw and call the nation to its tents. But while our functionaries are wise, and honest, and vigilant, let us move compactly under their guidance, and we have nothing to fear. . . ." --Thomas Jefferson to William Duane, 1811. ME 13:29

How could Jefferson envision "our government . . . rushing headlong . . . ." or, "violating our dearest rights, the trial by jury, the freedom of the press, the freedom of opinion, civil or religious, or opening on our peace of mind or personal safety the sluices of terrorism"?

Think about these warnings, combined with George Washington's Farewell Address warning on the "dangers of the spirit of Party."

The Fourth of July is a time when American citizens must rediscover the ideas which formed the "American mind" of 1776 in order to understand the warnings of the men who framed the Constitution's safeguards on liberty in 1787.

Just listen to the tapes from the Blago trial....it’s not just him. It’s how the majority of our politicians talk amongst themselves. Where are the statesmen? Is it too late to right our ship of state?

As long as we have mostly-fair elections, the ballot box is the place for change.

And this is the REAL reason the left has worked so hard to overturn the 2nd amendment. It MUST remove from the American people the means to overthrow a tyrannical state. Today, only force of arms can reclaim our nation and liberty.
