....I accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan … I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses … I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak … In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered.....

Fear is the foundation of most governments.
John Adams
Many of the benefits from keeping terrorism fear levels high are obvious. Private corporations suck up massive amounts of Homeland Security cash as long as that fear persists, while government officials in the National Security and Surveillance State can claim unlimited powers and operate with unlimited secrecy and no accountability.

America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.

Margaret Thatcher has been dead for a while now ... but not only did our Left do their utmost to attack her when in Office, not only did they continue long after she'd left Downing Street, but they even continued their attacks after she died !!
If Bush continues to be the butt of such attacks, my advice is to see it as the indicator of the meritorious leader he was ! The greater the attacks, the greater the compliment to him and his record.

they're both are criminals. I will not forget what they've done. even if you want to DREAM that Bush is somehow better and DEFEND his BS pretending that it doesn't smell anymore because he's gone.
Bush's legacy still lingers AT.
BS war on terror, gitmo, patriot act, warrentless wire taps, ending of posse comitatus, taking the nat'l guard from the Governors, torture, BS preemptive war, secret overseas prisons, TSA, etcetc
Those are not Carter or Reagan or HWB or Clinton or Obama legacy items, that all Bush AT. Bush gave those to America, Obama has owned all of that from Bush and laid his layers of crap on top of all that.

The right to defy an unconstitutional statute is basic in our scheme. Even when an ordinance requires a permit to make a speech, to deliver a sermon, to picket, to parade, or to assemble, it need not be honored when it's invalid on its face. –
Potter Stewart (1915-1985), U.S. Supreme Court Justice, Walker v. Birmingham, 1967
The Constitution is a written instrument. As such, its meaning does not alter. That which it meant when it was adopted, it means now. –
South Carolina v. United States, 199 U.S. 437, 448 (1905)
When a legislature undertakes to proscribe the exercise of a citizen's constitutional rights it acts lawlessly and the citizen can take matters into his own hands and proceed on the basis that such a law is no law at all. –
Justice William O. Douglas
The Constitution is not neutral. It was designed to take the government off the backs of people.

Emergency does not increase granted power or remove or diminish the restrictions imposed upon power granted or reserved. The Constitution was adopted in a period of grave emergency. Its grants of power to the federal government and its limitations of the power of the States were determined in the light of emergency, and they are not altered by emergency. –

“I am convinced that when Nietzsche came to Switzerland and went insane, it was not because of venereal disease, though he did have this disease. Rather, it was because he understood that insanity was the only philosophic answer if the infinite-personal God does not exist.”
How Should We Then Live? The Rise and Decline of Western Thought and Culture (https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/522965)
“We must realize that the Reformation world view leads in the direction of government freedom. But the humanist world view with inevitable certainty leads in the direction of statism. This is so because humanists, having no god, must put something at the center, and it is inevitably society, government, or the state.”
“If man is not made in the image of God, nothing then stands in the way of inhumanity. There is no good reason why mankind should be perceived as special. Human life is cheapened.

"No totalitarian authority nor authoritarian state can tolerate those who have an absolute by which to judge that state and its actions. The Christians had that absolute in God's revelation. Because the Christians had an absolute, universal standard by which to judge not only personal morals but the state, they were counted as enemies of totalitarian Rome and were thrown to the beasts."

“In the twenties the religious education of children was classified as a political crime under Article 58-10 of the Code—in other words, counter revolutionary propaganda! True, one was still permitted to renounce one's religion at one's trial: it didn't often happen but it nonetheless did happen that the father would renounce his religion and remain at home to raise the children while the mother went to the Solovetsky Islands. (Throughout all those years women manifested great firmness in their faith.) All persons convicted of religious activity received tenners, the longest term then given.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, soviet dissident author,
The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956
“...And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat....”

XXX UFC Women's Bantamweight Title: Ronda Rousey vs. Holly Holm XXX
Rousey's story is well known at this point, an Olympic bronze medalist in judo who is 12-0 in MMA with 11 first round stoppages and 1 third round stoppage. Her striking has improved greatly but her ground game and armbar remains her bread and butter.
Holm was a world champion boxer who has won all her MMA fights. She hasn't looked great in the UFC thus far, however, and her ground game is a question mark against such a high level opponent.
Round 1. Rousey comes in swinging wildly with punches. Holm circles from the outside and connnects with a hard combination includes a straight punch to the jaw. Rousey clinches a minute and 20 seconds in. Holm brushes off the clinch and lands a few hard punches. Rousey is bleeding from the nose. Rousey gets a clinch and takes Holm down, but she can't get the armbar. Holm backs off and lands a big punch as they return to the feet. Rousey continues to look to close distance with Holm landing shots as she moves in. Holm is pounding Rousey with shots. Rousey hurts Holm with a hook. Holm is forced to clinch and takes Rousey down. Holm then backs off and stands up. Rousey charges in wildly in desperation. They clinch and exchange knees to the body. 10-9 Holm.
Round 2. Rousey dives in and gets caught with a couple of counter punches. Holm is a different level of striker. Holly Holm with a head kick that knocks Rousey out.
Winner: Holly Holm, KO, round 2.
That was one of the biggest upsets in MMA history. Holm when she entered MMA was thought to be a big challenge to anyone because of her boxing background and because she was knocking opponents out with head kicks. Her first two UFC fights were struggles even in victory and people backed off from that optimism even as she remained unbeaten.
This fight affirmed those original hopes as Holm demonstrated all her skill and athleticism.
For Rousey, it was a bad weekend. She came off as a bad sportswoman insulting and refusing to touch gloves with the even tempered and good natured Holm and then fought a wild, dangerous fight that didn't show sufficient respect for her opponent's ability.
For UFC, it's likely a big victory. Rousey's star is already so high and it sets up what will be a massive money rematch, perhaps at UFC 200 next year.`
Wow!

The three aims of the tyrant are,
1, the humiliation of his subjects; he knows that a mean-spirited man will not conspire against anybody;
2, the creation of mistrust among them; for a tyrant is not to be overthrown until men begin to have confidence in one another -- and this is the reason why tyrants are at war with the good; they are under the idea that their power is endangered by them, not only because they will not be ruled despotically, but also because they are too loyal to one another and to other men, and do not inform against one another or against other men --
3, the tyrant desires that all his subjects shall be incapable of action, for no one attempts what is impossible and they will not attempt to overthrow a tyranny if they are powerless.

"War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses."
"I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket."
"I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we'll fight.

.. I hope Revelarts is taking notes ...
Always be on guard against tyranny, whatever shape it may assume.
Any clever person can make plans for winning a war if he has no responsibility for carrying them out.
You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory – victory at all costs, victory in spite of terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. [This one was in preparation for the anticipated struggle against Nazism, just months before the London Blitz of 1940]
We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills, we shall never surrender. [The proper attitude against an implacable enemy, I suggest ..]
We must be careful not to assign to this deliverance the attributes of a victory. Wars are not won by evacuations. [ Obama should've heeded that one, rather than pull troops out of Iraq !!]

In politics, If you want anything said, ask a man. If you want anything done, ask a woman.
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.
Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's a day you've had everything to do and you've done it.
I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end.
I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.
When I'm out of politics I'm going to run a business, it'll be called rent-a-spine.
Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy.
Consensus: “The process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values, and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects; the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved, merely because you cannot get agreement on the way ahead. What great cause would have been fought and won under the banner: ‘I stand for consensus?'
Of course it's the same old story. Truth usually is the same old story.

All from the great Thomas Sowell
"Since this is an era when many people are concerned about 'fairness' and 'social justice,' what is your 'fair share' of what someone else has worked for?"
"There are few talents more richly rewarded with both wealth and power, in countries around the world, than the ability to convince backward people that their problems are caused by other people who are more advanced."
"Civilization has been aptly called a 'thin crust over a volcano.' The anointed are constantly picking at that crust."
"We seem to be moving steadily in the direction of a society where no one is responsible for what he himself did, but we are all responsible for what somebody else did, either in the present or in the past."
” For the anointed, traditions are likely to be seen as the dead hand of the past, relics of a less enlightened age, and not as the distilled experience of millions who faced similar human vicissitudes before.”
"Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good."
"One of the consequences of such notions as ‘entitlements’ is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence."

"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. In their totality and in their interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat with demands the solidarity of all peoples. But in designating them as the enemy, we fall into the trap about which we have already warned namely mistaking systems for causes. All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself."

"We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries."

A long one but let it sink in.
When asked about the "war on drugs" begun in the Nixon Administration...
....“You want to know what this was really all about?” he asked with the bluntness of a man who, after public disgrace and a stretch in federal prison, had little left to protect. “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black people, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

counsel and Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs under President Richard Nixon.

'As regards the erection of such a monument as is contemplated, my conviction is, that however grateful it would be to the feelings of the South, the attempt ... would have the effect of ... continuing, if not adding to, the difficulties under which the Southern people labour.'
Three years later, Lee was invited to a meeting of Union and Confederate officers to mark the placing of a memorial honoring those who took part in the battle of Gettysburg, he wrote in a letter declining the invitation.

A group of scientists placed five monkeys in a cage, and in the middle, a ladder with bananas on top. Every time a monkey went up the ladder, the scientists soaked the rest of the monkeys with cold water.
After a certain amount of this, each time a monkey would to start up the ladder, the others would pull it down and beat it up; this too went on for a while, but eventually no monkey would dare try climbing the ladder, no matter how great the temptation.
The scientists then decided to replace one of the monkeys. The first thing this new monkey did, of course, was start to climb the ladder. Immediately, the others pulled him down and beat him up.
After several beatings, the new monkey learned never to go up the ladder, even though there was no evident reason not to, aside from the beatings.
The second monkey was substituted and the same occurred. The first monkey participated in the beating of the second monkey. A third monkey was changed and the same was repeated. The fourth monkey was changed, resulting in the same, before the fifth was finally replaced as well.
What was left was a group of five monkeys that — without ever having received a cold shower — continued to beat up any monkey who attempted to climb the ladder.
If it was possible to ask the monkeys why they beat up on all those who attempted to climb the ladder, their most likely answer would be “I don’t know. It’s just how things are done around here.”

I've no desire to erase history, neither Puritans nor Pilgrims. I also do not use them as my heroes, as their intolerance was every bit as strong as the Church of England, that the Puritans were trying to 'reform' and the Pilgrims had lost hope in.

"Thomas Helwys, (born c. 1550—died c. 1616), English Puritan leader, member of a Separatist group that emigrated to Amsterdam (1608), where he helped organize the first Baptist church. Returning to England (1611/12) to witness to his belief in adult Baptism and greater individual moral responsibility (against extreme Calvinist predestination), Helwys established the first General Baptist congregation in London. He was imprisoned for advocating universal religious tolerance and the independence of the church from state control."
Britanica
Christians working against the state and other christians to establish the RIGHT of religious freedom for everyone.
in the late 1500s and early 1600s
The 1st permanent settlement in the U.S. was Jamestown that didn't start until 1607.
the road to the right of religious freedom from the state came from Religious Christians.
https://www.azquotes.com/picture-quotes/quote-the-foundation-of-authority-is-based-upon-the-consent-of-the-people-thomas-hooker-75-49-27.jpg
"Thomas Hooker, (born probably July 7, 1586, Markfield, Leicestershire, England—died July 7, 1647, Hartford, Connecticut [U.S.]),
prominent British American colonial clergyman known as “the father of Connecticut.” Seeking independence from other Puritan sects in Massachusetts, Thomas Hooker and his followers established one of the first major colonies in Hartford, Connecticut. A staunch supporter of universal Christian suffrage (voting rights independent of church membership), Hooker was a renowned theologian and orator who greatly shaped the early development of colonial New England."
Early 1600s America... a Puritan is making these points. And he's not the only one.
the concept of the power of the state coming from the people. And the rights of citizenship NOT being linked legally to any specific religious membership.
Secularist & Deist like Jefferson & Paine are not even out of diapers or alive yet.
The point is a lot of the roots of the ideals & rights we take for granted came from extremely religious people... with religious reasons.
I think most would agree that , at the least, to better understand the ideals we want to preserve and renew we should understand where and why they came to be.
Even if we don't want to LEAD with it in public because so many of our tolerant fellow citizens are... um... less than open to Christianity these days.

To do evil a human being must first of all believe that what he's doing is good, or else that it's a well-considered act in conformity with natural law. Fortunately, it is in the nature of the human being to seek a justification for his actions.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
just reminds me of
When some claimed 'we HAVE TO demand vaccination'. they thought they were doing good.
When some claimed 'we HAVE TO torture'. they thought they were doing good. (or claimed "it's not torture")
ok here's one place where I'd dare to differ a bit from Solzhenitsyn.
I'd say the above is true unless they are psychopaths.
OR they've been gradually acclimated to do evil regularly over time (boiling frog style) like many of the NAZI soldiers were.
(though he probably says the same somewhere i just don't know about it)

If he believed his statements ,what was theproblem with his assertions.

Why? Because he believed the current "Science" and pagan myths about Ayrians.
Jesus dealt with this misunderstanding of WHO is a human being/other on many occasions, 1 in the parable of the good Samaritain.
He rejected the prejudice of the the day. including all in the human family no matter what race, sick or well, rich or poor.
and Genesis makes clear that we are all FAMILY every human is "made in the image of God".
It's 1 of reasons given why we do not kill. It's an attack on God by poxy.
And the opposite of what we are supposed to do, which is to Love each other.
The Darwinist, Malthusians, NAZIS, & communist nuts misunderstand who man is. (intentionally or unintentionally)
and the value of EACH human being.

There are NO goals, or overarching moral law giver. just a bunch of other "evolved" monkeys.
Survival is just a raw instinct. And it isn't even universal at all times. People and animals, even whole colonies of animals, commit suicide from time to time. Or simply do stupid things to get killed. Animals of all kind abandon their young. some of the strongest in a some groups sacrifice themselves with NO guarantee of future survival of the young or the group. The vast number of mast extinctions shows that survival is not really that powerful or accurate a driver. Life ... if just matter and time... is very tenuous and not going to last long in the imagined billions of years scheme of things.

Interesting.
And agreed re the poster
The quote is from the character Raylan Givens in Justified.
It's a quote that I have reflected on more than once...

I agree with a lot of that.
Here's the thing to connect here.
It goes to the point about "do unto others" golden rule as THE basis for morality unattached to the rest of the moral laws and the Biblical understanding of who human being are.
If the darwinist is correct then "getting rid of weeds" makes sense. It's for the benefit of the others, the rest of the species.
It's the general basis for Hitler's POV.
He wasn't killing people in the camps, he was killing "vermin, subspecies, febble minded" that held back the health and welfare of the Pure German Volksgemeinschaft.
What he did was ..."for the greater good".
If he believed his statements ,what was theproblem with his assertions.
Well 1st of all it Seems he misunderstood who fell into the the category of Human Beings.
Why? Because he believed the current "Science" and pagan myths about Ayrians.
Jesus dealt with this misunderstanding of WHO is a human being/other on many occasions, 1 in the parable of the good Samaritain.
He rejected the prejudice of the the day. including all in the human family no matter what race, sick or well, rich or poor.
and Genesis makes clear that we are all FAMILY every human is "made in the image of God".
It's 1 of reasons given why we do not kill. It's an attack on God by poxy.
And the opposite of what we are supposed to do, which is to Love each other.
The Darwinist, Malthusians, NAZIS, & communist nuts misunderstand who man is. (intentionally or unintentionally)
and the value of EACH human being.
morality is actually rational.
those who seek to keep using human on human predation as their way of life hate morality, and so invented atheism and darwinism, to justify themselves "allowing evolution to occur" with their evil.
bad people blowing smoke up their own asses hate morality, and by extension, the golden rule, the best example of morality.

In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousandfold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers . . . we are ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.

Applies very well to what our government is doing right now. (When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers)... Truth...Tyr

yes.
and times like these show what people really believe.
The devil's morality has insinuated itself into all the cracks and crevices of the mind and society.
"might makes right" is the devil's ideology, but it also a child's view. A 'terrible twos' demiurge of egoic fugue energy.
real god says morality matters.

Globalist:
"We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries."
David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991.
"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. In their totality and in their interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat with demands the solidarity of all peoples. But in designating them as the enemy, we fall into the trap about which we have already warned namely mistaking systems for causes. All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself."
"The First Global Revolution", A Report by the Council of the Club of Rome by Alexander King and Bertrand Schneider 1991.

The nine most terrifying words in the English language are "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."
Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem. ... Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them. Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. If it stops moving, subsidize it. ... The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.
Too often character assassination has replaced debate in principle here in Washington. Destroy someone's reputation, and you don't have to talk about what he stands for.
Either you will control your government, or government will control you.
We must never remain silent in the face of bigotry. We must condemn those who seek to divide us.
In all quarters and at all times, we must teach tolerance and denounce racism, anti-Semitism and all ethnic or religious bigotry wherever they exist as unacceptable evils.
We have no place for haters in America -- none, whatsoever.
Almost all the worlds' constitutions are documents in which governments tell the people what their privileges are. Our Constitution is a document in which We the People tell the government what it is allowed to do. We the People are free.
One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine.
If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he'll eat you last.
If more government is the answer, then it was a really stupid question.
Ronald Wilson Reagan

First, it is providing a means whereby key individuals on its payroll are able to obtain both power and wealth through granting special favors to certain politically influential groups that are subject to its regulation. This activity is similar to the 'protection racket' of organized crime: for a price, one can induce FDA administrators to provide 'protection' from the FDA itself.
Secondly, as a result of this political favoritism, the FDA has become a primary factor in that formula whereby cartel-oriented companies in the food and drug industry are able to use the police powers of government to harass or destroy their free-market competitors.
