For more years than my 66 the good people of this country have allowed people they don't know anything about to have this countries best interest at heart. Apathy has run rampant so through the years if some person(s) tried to warn the people about these bad actors, their voices were shouted down with terms such as "conspiracy freak" ect. Some of these people through the years have had personal experience or have known and followed the careers of some of these actors, but in their attempt to uncover who the actors were, that knowledge was trampled under the feet of those who trusted the MSM and other bad actors. So in 2016 we found ourselves at the very edge of an enormous cliff which this country was about to go over. Why? Because we would rather pay someone or someones who we have "NO" knowledge of these bad actors, neither by first hand or by those who had first hand knowledge/experience with, to protect a right or rights guaranteed under the Constitution to each one of us. And why? Because we are afraid to do it ourselves, personally. Oh I know the reasons we can't or won't. Work, family, finances, ect. But it boiled down to truth, many are afraid of being put in a position where they may have to decide....death or family, death or work, death or retirement, and on and on and on.
This is the very reason the opposition has been winning for so long. This is the very reason they were so willing to give us organizations like the NRA. This is the reason they are willing to allow certain handlers to head such organizations.
With this new movement our President headed came knowledge of who and what has been taking away our freedom and our country, doing it from the shadows. In some cases they flaunted it right in our faces. These shadowy figures, these beasts are the same ones that many have warned us about for over 60 years. These warnings went unheeded and in some cases made fun of. We allowed the beast to take out those fringe figures who warned us, the watchmen who were willing to stand. And as the beast kept working its way to the center of the circle we ignored it, but now it is right in our face and we still seem to be to blind or to lazy to confront it.
The real problem you have with me ADK is I refuse to pay someone or something I know nothing about personally to fight for a God given right, a freedom that I should be willing to do myself. I am willing to do that , but I am not willing to put my freedom or pay for a freedom into the hands of a shadowy actor who has the blessings of the Deep State.
Say what you want, make all the fun towards me you like, but I stand firm in what I know and who I know. You can either take that truth to heart and use it for good or you can cast it aside. Makes me no difference.
I have no hard feelings towards you or any other who may agree with you, but I am done with this subject.
In the words of President John F Kennedy......
John Swinton speech in 1880...........Someone who knew neither the press nor Swinton offered a toast to the independent press. Swinton outraged his colleagues by replying:
There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it.
There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone.
The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press?
We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.
