I need to correct and clarify something in my last post -

Liberty is not maintained or preserved soley by an election process, especially one that is become as corrupted and rigged as ours is today.

Liberty was and is a province of religion and morality - only such a people can preserve and maintain it via principles that are never compromised or surrendered for expedience.

And such people are not afraid to defend that liberty by all and any means necessary, safeguarding it with jealous rage and apt readiness to do violence to protect it.

But as I said - we are no longer such a people.

Such people are so few, they are most likely the 3% of three percent in a nation so far gone - even Conservatives no longer recognize what intended liberty is.

“Such people are so few, they are most likely the 3% of three percent in a nation so far gone - even Conservatives no longer recognize what intended liberty is.”

Amen. While I hold to all three legs of conservatism (Morale, Fiscal, & National Defense), I think that Moral Conservatism is the most important. IF we get the morality right, then the rest will fall into place. IF we don’t get the morality right, then the others are meaningless to a God fearing people. What good is wealth in the absence of God? Personally, I think I would rather live in a poor but Godly land than the most affluent and Godless that is a moral sewer.

While I know a GREAT many would not agree with this, it is my view. Although I know I have but corrupted by this Godless society and my own innate depravity.
