Exactly what I have been thinking for some time, but much better articulated than anything I could say. Thank you for posting this.
I like Alan Keyes, but man, when you start off an article quoting yourself, from a blog post you made that maybe a dozen people read, well, you need to take a step back!
Truth BUMP
Americans have become the slaves of the corrupt.
Speak up, lose your job.
Speak up, get sued.
Speak up, and the government jails you for a “hate” crime.
Speak up, get destroyed by the MSM.
Speak up, get jailed for being a bigot or some -phobe.
It will only end when Americans have nothing left to lose, and even then, it may be too late.
Václav Havel: The Power of the Powerless (the social and spiritual consequences of socialism)
“The principle involved here is that the center of power is identical with the center of truth.” Havel warns that socialist regimes create and enforce their own truth to maintain power. As time goes on, this truth diverges from factual truth and it increasingly forces those who support and depend upon the power of the regime to corrupt themselves to sustain the artificial truth.
In the end, people not only lie to each other, but they start to lie to themselves.

[And the biggest lie of them all is that society will be better off when we each live at the expense of others and acquiesce to the armed agents of the State to force us into allowing others to live at our expense.]
I remember voting for Alan in the 2000 primary. If only...
Too many people take the ‘render unto Ceasar what is Ceasars’ way too far- we just say “Oh well, there’s nothing we can do” when our rights are being taken away by a ‘sovereign government’
The problem is no one is willing to go to prison for refusing to comply- Daniel Shadrach and Meshack and Abednigo didn’t comply- and they went to their ‘death’ for refusing (But God intervened)
Our forefathers NEVER would have let the left get ot the point of lawlessness they are at now- there would have been bloodshed- and the left would have been shamed into dropping their bid to pervert morality and common sense-
The left have been perverting our country’s morals little by little, in dribs and drabs, knowing they can’t get away with it all at once- and people just keep steadily losing hteir rights , and unfortunately when doen this way- people are more willing to put yup with it than if it was tried all at once-
The reason it’s put up with is because people think “It won’t get much worse” and “They can’t take everything away”, asnd so we don’t do anything about it-
Many say they will, but no one ever really does- Noone wants to be the first martyrs - no one wants to be the first victims- Everyone is looking for Kim Davises to ‘lead the charge’, and are unwilling ot get involved if they think it’s just going to fizzle out and not accomplish much
Well written.
Just todays Lies and Insanity have me wondering if we can scrape and claw our way back up the cliff.
That just counting the Lies Told Today
