America is a great country. I feel blessed to live here at this time, but we must not take our position for granted. Liberty and freedom were won on the battlefield by brave men who risked everything. They were striving to make a new world in a unique time and place. It was a lightening strike. It was a fleeting opportunity that men of character were able to seize, but our freedoms and liberty are not guaranteed forever.
John Derbyshire rights about our demise at The Corner:
It’ll be over soon. We’ll be down in the cold, lightless depths of imperial despotism — in which, after all, the great majority of human beings, throughout history, have always lived. It’s the natural way: liberty is an unstable temporary aberration. I once tried to compute the sheer quantity, in man-years, of lives lived under the despotic order — Egyptians and Assyrians, Persians and Chinese, Romans and post-Alexander Greeks, Incas and Aztecs, Umayyads and Abbasids, Ottomans and Zulus, Tsars and General Secretaries… as against humans in liberty, ruled by common consent. It came out at around a hundred to one.
It’s not over. Those of us who cherish freedom still have some fight left in us. We need to stand tall so our children and grandchildren can enjoy the freedom that we have. Do not quit. Never stop fighting against those that want to rule your life.
Stop the progressives before we to slip into darkness. Nothing is more important.
