We don't all deserve it Ted, believe me ...were a much smaller population spread over a vast area with the retards and unfortunately voting base congregated in the cities, and the only media easily consumed tilted so far left most dont know anything else ,a govt that can cheat ,lie and steal and seermingly nothing can be done ,so i can assure you ,you're thoughts aside we definitely don't all deserve this, our country is fucking destroyed ...for the first time in my life I'm thinking about leaving ,three generations of family land ,all my happiest memories rolled into it ,because if this keeps going it won't even be my choice as I'll be taxed out of my home .
So to all of you ,think about what you write we're entitled to opinions but some of us are living the reality of those opinions.
I used to believe that democracy and the formation of a republic could be exported, and the inhabitants of just about any place would gladly, willingly, take it upon themselves to put that into place, versus whatever else they had. But, I now believe I was wrong. Nearly every one of the founding fathers of my country was a successful, educated, man, and nearly every one of them ended up penniless and destroyed by the time the constitution was ratified.
That, sadly, is what it takes.
I used to believe that all the amendments to the constitution were equally important, but, I believe I was wrong about that, also. The golden amendment, the one that keeps the government of any era afraid, is the second amendment. As demonstrated, over and over, any government that attempts to limit a citizens right to self defense and ownership of the tools to do the same will eventually be a tyranny.
There was only one billionaire in Cuba. He got that way on the backs of ordinary Cubans.
After he disarmed them.
You, are at that point.
Best,
Ted
