IF THIS BE WAR, LET IT START HERE AND LET IT START NOW...
"... God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."
Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 (C.J. Boyd, Ed., 1950)
The Left is using the Pandemic to steal our liberty... baiting the public with fear and the lies of our failed Public Health System. The Mayors and Governors of nearly every major State and City are issuing edicts, contrary to the U.S. Constitution, and expect the people to obey. They are treating the public like petulant children rather than informed adults. These agents of government tyranny may think they can fool the people all of the time, but some of the people will always stand ready to bear testimony to the facts and the truth. The social and government issues of today are quite disturbing and the lies of the leftist and pragmatist are no longer working to sustain them. The public outcries of fowl, bear witness to the oppression in our streets, businesses, and homes. The left's attempt to shackle the middle-class to their wagon as the feudal property of the State... no longer works. The People are refusing to become mere surfs in the New World Order.
The Left has mistaken the silent suffering of the People as a sign of weakness... rather than, forbearance and patience. The People had hoped for a peaceful resolution to their problems (political and social) However, the people's forbearance is now being replaced by calls for immediate reforms and accountability. People, no longer have confidence in their government or its political leaders... They want accountability and they want it now. The result in the government's inability to give the People what they want... has manifested itself as a seed change in how the people view government and the means to reform it. The People, increasingly view government as an ENEMY of LIBERTY and the Constitution. The Left with their oppressive attempts to dictate every facet of the People's lives is driving a great wedge between the government and the people.
The drums of war now beat a dissonant call to arms... The night air reverberates with an undercurrent of strife in all our major cities. Our homes are under siege, by a recalcitrant and oppressive government. The Nation is confused and many fear, not only their health but for their liberty. The People, question their future and the ability to enjoy the standard of living and security they have grown to expect. Our Nation is about to spew out the political class and their twisted metaphor... The People are no longer willing to patiently wait for the deceit and evil foisted upon them by a select few to be removed from government and our institutions of commerce and education.
Make no mistake there is a dangerous undercurrent of rebellion and revolution in the air... and once set loose, it will not be so easily returned, from where it came.
