Are his troops ready? Are ours?
This is an important moment in our history will citizens roll over and accept a dictator or fight for their freedoms. This small piece of wire is an act of war. Who does this country belong to? Closing this memorial is more than a fight over a budget stalemate. It is a direct statement against the freedom that these vets fought for. The state is your master and we have taken your freedoms is the message here. Will their sacrifice be for nothing? Is this really what America wants for itself?
The stakes couldn’t be higher
Thanks for saying that.
A few years back I was watching a documentary about the holocaust. One of the who first Jews ordered to board the trains to Auswitch was being interviewed.
When asked “why did you get on the train (rather than resist)?” He hung his head down, tears fell, he looked up and said “it was just ONE MORE THING..”
They complied themselves all the way to the camp.
Will We?
Of course we’ll comply. It’s our friends, fathers, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles. They’re wearing uniforms, they’re in the know, they’re going to tell us it’ll be okay.
Then, we’re gone.
