“Persecution for opinion is the master vice of society.” —Frances Wright (1795-1852)

“The vague and ever-changing definition of ‘assault weapon’ is deliberately designed to slowly include all guns.” —Ian Haworth (2022)

“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police. Yet in their hearts there is unspoken — unspeakable! — fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts! Words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home, all the more powerful because they are forbidden. These terrify them. A little mouse — a little tiny mouse! — of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.” —Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

“In an age where elites embrace defunding the police, when homelessness runs rampant, when gangs dominate entire communities, and when radical district attorneys refuse to prosecute violent crime in cities across America, rarely has the Second Amendment been more necessary to secure the rights of our fellow citizens.” —Senator Ted Cruz (2022)

“We must not react to evil and tragedy by abandoning the Constitution or infringing on the rights of our law-abiding citizens.” —Senator Ted Cruz (2022)

“Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt.” —Samuel Adams (1749)

“We are apparently fated to have our heartbreak and sorrow aggravated by a certain breed of politician.

“Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual — or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country.” –Samuel Adams, in the Boston Gazette, 1781

Did you execute your solemn duty, as office holder of “Citizen” today? Did you vote for the candidates that best represent what you believe in? Did you tell the representatives at all levels of the government what you expect from them?

My wife, TMBWitW, and I are registered to vote by absentee ballot. Not because we are too lazy to go to our polling place (although, in the fourteen years we have lived in this district the polling place has changed 16 times. yes, twice just before election day on two separate occasions) but because we like to sit down with the internet at our disposal and really comb through the final candidates. Yes, we’ve done preliminary investigations of their background/beliefs/voting record, but there’s nothing like a solid [search_engine_of_your_choice] session to solidify your reasoning behind your vote.

Failure to vote is an agreement to be enslaved.

A vote for ANY demoncRAT is, essentially, a vote against the principals of this nation, since any vote for a demoncRAT is a vote in support of Obama(THHO) and his policies.

Think about this: Are you more likely to be beheaded, ignored during a hostage situation, or exposed to a deadly virus now than you were six years ago?

Bonus Quote:

“No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffusd and Virtue is preservd. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauchd in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.”

–Samuel Adams, letter to James Warren, 1775

Can you feel how heavy the oppressive weight of the collective ignorance in this country is becoming?
