Will the oppressor let go the oppressed? Was there ever an instance? Can the annals of mankind exhibit one single example where rulers overcharged with power willingly let go the oppressed, though solicited and requested most earnestly? … Sometimes, the oppressed have got loose by one of those bloody struggles that desolate a country but a willing relinquishment of power is one of those things which human nature never was, nor ever will be, capable of.

We the People of the United States
The phrases “We the People of the United States,” “House of Representatives …chosen… by the People of the several States,” “right of the people peaceably to assemble,” “right of the people to be secure in their homes,” “enumerations herein of certain rights shall not be construed to disparage others retained by the people,” “elected by the people thereof, for six years” and “The powers not delegated herein are reserved to the states respectively, and to the people” all refer to individuals, but some argue that “the right of the people to keep and bear arms” refers to the state.
Phil Hare “I don’t worry about the Constitution”
“I don’t worry about the Constitution on this to be honest.” Rep. Phil Hare (D-Illinois), April 1, 2010
Rep Phil Hare, ignoring his oath to protect and defend the United States Constitution. Hare is a disgrace to himself, and the country. Anyone willing to ignore the law of the land should not be holding office and should resign immediately. Hare is a buffoon, not to mention ignorant of the history and law of this country. It is a sad state of affairs that anyone would vote for someone like this.
Rep. Georgia Democrat Hank Johnson is worried about Guam Tipping over
Rep. Georgia Democrat Hank Johnson is worried about Guam Tipping over. One wonders what the people of Georgia were thinking electing someone with an IQ equal to his shoe size.
It may be necessary to put democracy on hold for a while. Lovelock
It may be necessary to put democracy on hold for a while. – James Lovelock, well-know environmentalist
Thanks, James, but no thanks. We’ll keep our freedom, you can keep the control. But Lovelock is correct when he states that:
Fudging the data in any way whatsoever is quite literally a sin against the holy ghost of science,. I’m not religious, but I put it that way because I feel so strongly. It’s the one thing you do not ever do. You’ve got to have standards.
This is one reason why the following is true. Government science is an oxymoron, and free science is redundant. When you are behold to government, everything becomes political. Everything. From science to text book selection. Freedom from government means freedom to decide for yourself, and if someone else doesn’t like it, too bad, they can decide for themselves. It seems kind of obvious, but many people have forgotten it.

Racist Frank Rick at the New York Times thinks its about skin color, not ideas!
Racist Frank Rick at the New York Times thinks its about skin color, not ideas! Unfortunately Mr. Rich has bought into the most odious, idiotic, and heinous of the theories of slavery and the Jim Crow era – the one drop theory. This says that anyone with “one drop” of “non-white’ blood is not white. So, President Obama has to be “black” or “African American” and any criticism has to do with skin color, sexual preference (in the case of Barney Frank) or gender (in the case of Nancy Pelosi).
At least Frank Rich is admitting his racism more openly now. Mr. Rich, there is help for racists, please get some: your racism is about as stupid as believing that eye color and hair color matter. And that there is any “race” except “human.”

it takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people. John Dingell (D-MI)
The harsh fact of the matter is when you’re going to pass legislation that will cover 300 American people in different ways it takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people. Rep. John Dingell (D-MI)
The Democrat party is all about money and the power to control people. Not freedom.
What is so bad about going to doctor and not having to pay?
A friend of my cousin’s stated, in defense of ObamaCare, “What is so bad about going to doctor and not having to pay?” One answer is that SOMEONE has to pay. You will pay one way or the other. You will pay in cash, in respect from your friends, and in your liberty. There is no middle ground between being a welfare parasite and being free.
There are two ways of dealing with others – voluntarily or at the point of a gun. This solution is to put a gun to my cousin’s head and the Dr’s head and say, “I don’t want to pay my own way, I want YOU to pay for MY choices.” If you want to be free, the gun is not the logical or moral choice. It is the parasitic choice. The thing is that if my cousin’s friend is doing it to the two of them, there are 100s of people who will be doing it to her. Is that what anyone really wants?
I dare say the slave owners in the South felt the same way: “What is so bad about getting food and water and shelter without having to pay.” Oh, you mean the slaves were paying for it with their lives? But, really, “what is so bad about going to … Continue reading What is so bad about going to doctor and not having to pay?
