We often witness two
distinct yet complementary political approaches in our nation, exercised by
those who advocate victim disarmament and sweeping State power over the hearts
and hands of Men.
There are those who approach the arena armed with weapons of repeated
propaganda, expounded upon over and over not with the intent of informing, or of
reasoning - but instead the drumming of a simple lie into the minds of the
casual and the uninformed.
They are aided by those who flagellate and attack the very foundation of the
nation with hysteria and derogation, reducing the collective brilliance of the
Founders to a rotten conspiracy of petty slavers.
Both claim the protective shroud of calm enlightenment and elevated human
understanding.
Both are, in reality, dangerous liars who seek power and destruction - the first
for themselves, and the latter for those with whom they disagree.
I find this unacceptable.
I find it to be a disgusting abrogation of human conscience and the principles
of liberty, without which the very nature of human life becomes incompatible
with its continued existence.
I find that these propagandists - who are, in truth, the domestic enemies of our
land and our People - are also arrant and unforgivable cowards.
They fear the steadfastness of a heart that knows the sustaining power of faith.
Such a heart does not submit to the blandishments of moral relativity, or the
siren call of hedonistic trash.
They fear the measured and judicious power of the armed man, who is immune to
the terror which seizes those who are defenseless before brutality. Such courage
is anathema to them, as it displays in truth the deliberate weakness of their
own hearts.
They fear the immutable and permanent aspect of the human spirit that demands
freedom; that understands liberty, and the incalculable costs of both its
preservation and its loss.
They fear these things because they are unwilling or unable to raise themselves
beyond a childish and trusting assurance that the State is the supreme
expression of human goodness.
They fear these things because they know, without a doubt, that they are
insurmountable bulwarks against the social and political goals they have set out
to accomplish. To control what is said and read, and thus plant stakes of
ownership in the human mind. To control how men speak to their God and where,
and thus plant more stakes into the human heart. To control how our children are
raised and how their learning unfolds, so that they may ultimately claim
ownership of the People themselves.
I am not a resource.
Americans are not cattle.
The State has no rights in these things.
I am glad they fear us. I am glad that they are fighting us. For each word they
utter against the essential preconditions for the pursuit of happiness - the
more they reveal themselves for what they are, and the clearer their sickening
agenda becomes.
I look forward to the battle ahead.
Best regards,
