I am again impressed ... you speak the truth of history and of wisdom. These fools can not see or do not wish to see the damage they have and continue to do to our country. Our freedom, our liberty, our country will not survive much longer with these fools in power.
I read your bio, and I am flattered that my words would impress such an experienced man as yourself.

We are not as doomed as that, I think; nor is it worthless to contend against those who advocate tyranny. There are many here who do not speak, but who read the discussions. They are the true audience, IMO. I believe with all my heart that, for the most part, Americans are still good men who love freedom; it is just that they have been ill served by our educational system, and are busy with their duties; many have not had the time to research such issues, or give them much thought; those of us who _have_ had the opportunity can serve them in good stead, by providing a sort of digest, one they can easily verify if they have doubts; the internet is a wonderful tool for such things, but one needs a place to start, a thesis to confirm, at times. Why else do you imagine that tyrants the world over _hate_ the internet, and seek to block its use by common men? Our words are not wasted, and we are not overwhelmed.
There are vocal tyrants here, to be sure, but many of them are agent provakateurs who would like nothing more than to sow dissent amongst generally like minded people, and convince us that our cause is lost. Don't play their game: confront them, and make them take off their masks of maturity and civility; they cannot stand against reasonable argument. Their only recourse is to retreat into jingoism, threats, and irrationality. In doing so, they become obvious for what they are; we cannot change their pose, but we can force them to reveal themselves to those who might otherwise find their positions compelling. They are no different from the Communists, in their vulnerability to a reasoned approach; in truth, several of them _are_ Communist agitators, and if you pay attention, you can pick them out.
Hope to hear more from you.
