On the Day I Die

prostar.com ^ | Deborah Marie Pulaski, as told to Claire Wolfe

[Paul C. Jesup]

I’m sorry to hear that she’s dying. But if she wants to call for a revolution, she should do so straightforwardly. And not be coward about speaking out about it indirectly.

[riley1992]

She already died and there wasn't a thing cowardly about what her feelings were. In your world, is everyone who sees the government as out of control and needing to be reined in calling for a revolution?

[Paul C. Jesup]

I admit, I missed the bottom part about her dying, but I could only stomach reading 8/10 of the article.

By theway, you missed my point.

[riley1992]

If I missed your point, I'm sorry. Please elaborate it for me.

[Budge]

Why is it that some of the best articles get the least reponses?

Perhaps because, like me, I read but can add nothing.

[Paul C. Jesup]

I don't like it when someone walks around an issue, lists the problems BUT provides NO solutions for the problems. That was my point.

[riley1992]

First off, this was not intended to be a problem solving piece. This was one woman's view of our country's government upon finding out she was dying as told to another woman. It was more a conversation.

Second, she does offer a solution, the only solution that is going to take us from where we are to where we should be and that is public outcry on a large scale. Unfortunately, you cannot make others see what is happening when they choose not to so she worked at making changes as best she could at the local level which is a damn sight further than most people bother to do nowadays.

This one was posted several weeks ago and got a lot of response, including a flame war. It was pretty revealing of a couple of people who had been heroes just the day before by winning one of those essay poetry contests by whoever it is that puts up that quote of the day thing.

I guess this one gets posted here from time to time. It's one that bears reposting a few times a year at least until we've taken it to heart.

I don't like it when someone walks around an issue, lists the problems BUT provides NO solutions for the problems.

It silly but 95% of the solution is to be had by making people care. Making them feel empowered and just, to squelch the sense of hopelessness.

We have all forgotten the most dreadful aspect of tyranny, forgotten why it is so frightening -- tyranny is not merely intense oppression, it is the NORMALIZATION of that oppression, creating a world where we feel 'nothing is really wrong'.

How often do you hear people say, "Well, yeah, but I'm free enough." ?

How would our forefathers feel living in this world?

The solution is justified RAGE that forces the issues to the table, and makes man bust out of his stall on the animal farm and reclaim his dignity.

The greatest enemy of 'problems' is freedom, not some 5 year plan.

You might not have to wait that long. Lately I've been seeing sparks, in people's comments, of that rage you are talking about.

Bump for a true and honorable Patriot!

A man's country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle; and patriotism is loyalty to that principle.
-- George William Curtis

The closed door and the sealed lips are prerequisites to tyranny.
--Frank L. Stanton

Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.
--Thomas Paine

Let us be poised, and wise, and our own, today.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Where was the Three-Bag Barf Alert, since Claire Wolfe's name is on this piece?

[Mulder]

Thanks for posting this. Many of the things the author stated are coming to pass.

All under a Republican Congress and Republican President, who have as much regard for our rights as the last Democratic President did.

[who knows what evil?]

In defiance of G-d Almighty, I chose not to have children. (I will pay dearly for that defiance...perhaps I already have.) Twenty-five years ago, I could see that this country was plunging into a dark age of marxist rule, and I did not want to bring children into a nation that had nothing to offer them but a life of misery and oppression. Our freedoms are nearly gone; they will never return. My children and grandchildren will not grow up as slaves, for they will never exist.

Thanks for the quotes and for bumping this back up. You been doing OK?

[Twodees]

Claire is what you wish desperately that you could con someone into thinking you are: A patriot. You aren't even a decent doormat for Claire Wolfe.

[Cultural Jihad]

We are in that 'awkward period' before open armed revolt.
Claire Wolfe is revolting, indeed.
