Freedom is taken, not given, wise up.


Okay. Interesting approach. As I once told my teenage daughter who was yelling “I want to be given my Freedom!” I pointed out she was born with Freedom, it was her option to pick up the mantle and carry it forward. So it is for each of us (just my opinion).

I don’t expect anyone to “give” me anything. The goal is not to have an establishment Republican “grant” me the right to choose Freedom off the Menu. Looking at the policy of Perry, Romney, and Gingrich - that’s what we will get.

Considering Gary Johnson is the 3rd Party front runner at this point and that he has requested his supporters in Iowa get on board with Ron Paul - I suppose that would make sense.

“The cause of individual liberty and freedom is bigger and more important than any candidate or campaign,” Johnson said Saturday. “I am hopeful that in urging my supporters in Iowa to vote for Ron Paul in the coming caucuses, a victory for the principles we share can be won.”

At least you are thinking. My TIC comments aside, we need more of that.

Yes, our Constitution and Founding DOI recognize that, then instituted a Government to protect it. That is what makes us unique in the history of this world, however it had to be fought for and purchased in blood.

We have strayed so very far from those ideals, generations upon generations of corruption and power have yielded nothing but self serving narcissist who want a piece of it...including Paul. Unfortunately, I can't think of one institution that hasn't been corrupted, we have lost our way.

I don't know "what's in the water", but I do not believe any man who goes to Washington will have what it takes to implement what he tells the voters he is going to do, no matter how well intentioned. History has shown that quite clearly.

IMO, what it is going to take to reset this Country on it's chartered path is not going to happen via a "freedom giving politician".
