Against Tyranny: We are the Most Terrifying Force

….Otis’s point: When government tries to implement unconstitutional law, it is illegitimate and should not be obeyed. This principle became the intellectual foundation for the Declaration of Independence and eventually the Bill of Rights.

Should We Accept Tyranny?
Should we live freely or be ruled by tyranny? That was the crux of the matter. Our founders recognized freedom as a natural right granted us by God when He made us in His image. For this they made tremendous sacrifices and endured unimaginable hardships. They understood the historic magnitude of their endeavor. Against all odds, they overcame a force substantially more advanced and powerful, the global giant of the 18th century, the British Empire. For the first time in human history, a nation ruled by “we the people” was established.

We need not feel inadequate for being in the minority. God has designed us to live in freedom.

Because of its freedoms, America became powerful magnet that has attracted people of every race, gender, age and religious conviction from every corner of the world. Expressions like “shining city on the hill” and “beacon of the world” may seem to have become hackneyed clichés, but there is a reason Americans have used them so often. They communicate a clear and powerful message. Each human heart desires to live freely because by His design, God Himself intends us to live freely.

Preferring the Bondage of Egypt
Freedom is not free, however, and for that reason we cannot say everyone truly loves freedom. It requires faith, courage and perseverance to obtain and defend. The Exodus story of God’s deliverance stands at the pinnacle of Jewish tradition, yet for many Israelites, freedom and the land of milk and honey weren’t worth dying for. Many complained, murmured and grumbled to Moses when facing hardship. They wanted to go back to Egypt, preferring bondage over freedom and good life. They balked at believing God’s promise that they could take the land He had prepared for them. Among the men who came out of Egypt, only Joshua and Caleb, who had demonstrated faith and courage to fight, were granted permission to enter the Promised Land.

Division at the Time of Our Nation’s Birth
Freedom divides, as all truth divides. During the War for American Independence the people stood in sharp disagreement. One third wanted to be free, one third preferred Britain’s rule despite its unjust laws, and a third were ambivalent. Most of them were adamant in their views: There was no middle ground for agreement with the other two-thirds.

Benjamin Franklin’s son was a loyalist governor. They never fully reconciled. Henry Knox was a senior general of the Continental Army. His wife married him knowing she would never see her loyalist family again. Jesus said He came to divide. As long as absolute truth exists, division is unavoidable, and not always terrible.

During the battle of Dorchester Heights, the British General William Howe reportedly exclaimed, “My God, these fellows have done more work in one night than I could make my army do in three months!” Such is the immense power generated in the determination to be free……

The article at the beginnings sets the framework for modern desires for freedom. The ending after the snippet above relates the battle to preserve freedom to today’s situation. It describes the choices we must make between freedom or living under new tyranny.

 

Today we have this same struggle to be free. We are being told by the regime and by Brandon to check our freedom, cast aside our rights, and abandon liberty and to simply shut up and obey. We refuse!

 

No your not.

 

Lol...all the seditious and puerile right wing memes are nothing more than the hysterical bullshit of a bunch of people who want to drag the country back to the good ole days of religious bigotry, segregation and misogyny.
They're just pissing into the wind.

 

It really does seem to get certain folks all riled up when you start talking about their failure to obtain a power monopoly over their opposition... The life of the insecure control freak must be an absolute roller coaster of emotional suffering. Which is too bad, because the instant they get a power monopoly, they'll use it to try to quash that insecurity by quashing their opposition. So no power monopolys for anyone. We're all better off being a danger to eachother than just some of us being a danger to the rest.

 

Lol...I think that trump would agree.

 

You still have enough freedom to leave the US.

What are you waiting for?

 

That's true, bro. But Donald Trump and his affiliates want to destroy it.

 

But do you agree that no one should have a power monopoly? Or just not Trump?

 

no one should have, and not even trump managed to achieve power monopoly (the "unitary executive" long sought by the conservatives.) . yet.

checks and balances are working to contain the democrats' modest ambition. trump, with the stronger party discipline of the repubs, came closer than anyone to owning the institutions that should have been checking and balancing his choke hold on power.

 

And if he get's a second shot at this, it's game over.

 

Funny how we see the dems persecuting their critics, blocking free speech, committing federal crimes daily with impunity from themselves, using legal means to silence protest... things never seen under Trump, but they portray Trump as the tyrant.

 

He says while cashing the social security check the government sends to him faithfully every month.

 

As proven in Virginia where the Democrats thought it was time to openly say that they own America's kids and not parents. By all means Democrats, keep spreading the message that kids are the sole property of the state, put it up on placards, let the people of American know how you really feel. Hell I donate to campaigns to get your message out. Yes Democrats, run on a platform of fascism, it is a winner every time, just ask Virginia.

 

Of course I agree. Only fools think that absolute power is a good thing.

 

Actually, yes we are. We are fighting tyranny and defending freedom in multiple fronts in Brandon’s America.

 

WOLVERINES!!!

 

Quite the sweeping generalizations about and labeling of the other half of the country there.

 

perhaps the WORST cold war propaganda movie ever.

 

The Land of the Free? Run by the big banks and corporations, who buy politicians who obey their masters. People who work longer and harder than any other civilised country, with lousy education and health care, while the rich get richer and throw a few scraps to the rest. The Land of the Dimwits.

 

Both of them were great movies.

 

You are in dire need of reeducation. Respectfully speaking.

 

You're basing your revolution on a vaccine? Or a hatred of President Biden?
From another thread apparently you think smearing **** on OUR Capitol walls is "patriotism". Excuse me if I don't take your revolution seriously.

Let's go Donald!!!!

 

You can ignore us all you want. Our compliance is something you shall never have.

 

Compliance??? What are you talking about?
