WAR ON FREEDOM

In recent years we have heard about "wars" on just about anything and anybody as though any objection to something constituted anything like a real war.  In war, people get hurt and many die.  Some fight because they have to and others because they believe in a cause.  "Wars" which do not have victory as their goal are not wars but someone's ego at work.

There is a real war going on in the USA today which half the country does not acknowledge.  That is, the war on freedom.  The casualties have been enormous but they are not strewn on the ground, they are, instead, suffering untold hardships, enduring the theft of their freedom, compelled to do things which violate their personal beliefs and to participate in their own demise.

The founders had experienced these same indignities and decided enough was enough.  Against all odds, they decided to put an end to it or die trying.  Their sacrifices and success was their gift to us.  They also knew that once won, freedom would have to be protected almost on a daily basis because villains would probe for ways to steal it away.  The Constitution gave the people a way to protect themselves from despots, but ONLY IF THEY ENFORCED IT.  Those who casually dismiss the violation of its provisions don't appreciate the incremental loss of this and that freedom.  When it is "too late" to stop it peacefully, what alternatives will there be but to submit or fight?

Don't wait until it is "too late" to do this peacefully.
