"Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains…” Rousseau.

Yet, with tedious labor, we do strive against the wind… against the forlorn cry for liberty… Liberty once gained, is but lost in time… it remains a fleeting dream. Shall we suffer the pain of tyranny or mount with wings the hallowed quest… for that which so deliberately we seek… this liberty, this faint apparition of our fathers, many.

Liberty is not obtained through idle banter; it is the fruit of pain… suffered in our struggle for gain, where none yet appears… The wrestling of flesh, against the darker demons of men who, with chains, do bind the free, too a tree of tyranny... Men are born free, yet everywhere in chains.

Awake, therefore, ye of good heart... and strive no more with the idle banter of fools. Take hold of the Tree of Liberty and feed upon its fruit. Be no more bound by fear or of melancholy soul… Rise, take hold… Be bold and thy reward shall be sure. Liberty waits upon no man… its fruit belongs to the bold… its pleasures, the reward of the diligent.

  • Silently do the enemies of our soul forge the chains of liberty... building a new world order wih old world tools... binding man once more to the fuedal lord and his hunger for MORE... knowing 'More' is never satisfied, until there is no more!

  • I fear the will to plow liberty's fields ... to fight the good fight... no longer exists in the body of our nation's best. We no longer have the men of steel who defied Santa Anna at the Alamo... nor the courage of those who died raising our flag on Mount Suribachi.  Gone to graveyards, everyone...

    No... We no longer produce the stock that challenged the giants of a new world... that beat back the wilderness with their bare hands to build great cities of industry and liberty.  No, today's American Male is too busy getting in touch with his feminine side to notice his nation is burning down all around him.

    Our leaders are even worse... taking a page from 'Braveheart', the Lords of feudal Scotland are once more sacrificing the commoner, as they barter away our liberty and prosperity... for personal titles, lands, and wealth

    You will own nothing and be happy... as were the serfs of the Feudal state.

    • Col ...but, the end of Braveheart, that last scene, is the one we can place our hope on. A spiritual change of heart, from despair to FIRE. and Unity. 

      And speaking of, the rack could be good idea, too, along with bullets and rope. If we ever get to justice....

    • FREEDOM is not free... the stocks and axes of the feudal lords may no longer be visible... but they are ever present...

      America, once broke the chains of the feudal lords... only to exchange their hard-fought freedom for a bowl of porridge... and a bad bowl it is, at best

    • I would ask... how does this world end ... in a parade celebrating our freedom... or a lake of fire and the loss of liberty.  Where then is our hope... in man or God?  Shall we preach victory for a dying world... or for a new world and heaven's promise?

      This world is lost... and it is only going to get worse... until the end.  Then we, whose HOPE is in God and a new beginning, will receive our hope... our eternal reward. 

      However, 'Great Tribulation' awaits those whose faith is in mankind... We who trust in God shall escape such terror... we were not made to suffer the wrath of God. 

    • Let your hope be fulfilled through faith in God... you will never be disappointed.

    • Despite the talk about a TURNING POINT in America, iniquity remains entrenched in its high towers...

      Talk is cheap... Action is much more difficult.  It is past time for our leaders to remove the ungodly from their seats of power.  Their 'failure to act' will only bring great tribulation to America. Tribulation, such as has never before plagued the Earth.

      Charlie Kirk stood as a modern-day Prophet, warning of the coming storm should we fail to turn away from our sins and embrace God and His righteous law.  The Spirit of the Lord will not always tarry with mankind.
