" When the subject has refused allegiance, and the officer has resigned his office, then the revolution is complete. But even suppose blood should flow. Is there not a sort of blood shed when the conscience is wounded? Through this wound a man [1]'s real manhood and immortality flow out, and he bleeds to an everlasting death. I see this blood flowing now." H.D.T.
For the first time in my life I wake to realize the false notions of this country's confidence, security, and direction. Patriotism in a democratic society can not be unquestioning support of our government, not if we fully believe the principles set forth in our founding document, the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration clearly shows the difference between the government and the people. Governments are artificial creations established by the people with the mission to protect certain ends; Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Whenever any and all forms of government becomes destructive of these "protected ends", it is the RIGHT and the RESPONSIBILITY of the people ( you and I) to alter or abolish the established power. The time for alternation has passed. Now is the time for resistance. " A very few, as heroes, patriots, martyrs, reformers in the great sense, serve the state with their consciences and for the most part resist it. They are commonly treated as enemies by the state." We must reverse our obedience and revolt. We must embrace our true freedom, not the "freedom" the politrickers tell you to have, but the freedom which is our right. We must show the established system that our voices are to be feared. We must present to them that fear will bring forth the truth. "You have the right to live in peace. You must fight for what you keep. If what you keep holds true inside. Stand up and defend or lay down and die." LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION.
