"Posterity, you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that ever I took half the pains to preserve it." -John Adams
Welcome to Patriot's Lament. We strive here to educate ourselves on Liberty. We will not worry ourselves so much with the daily antics of American politics, and drown ourselves in the murky waters of the political right or left.
Instead, we will look to the Intellectuals and Champions of Liberty, and draw on their wisdom of what it is to be a truly free people. We will learn from where our Providential Liberties are derived, and put the proper perspective of a Free Individual and the State.
Please join us!
Heh.
ReplyDeleteI recently saw signs of militarization in our eight-man county sheriff force. This made me think of the increasingly blurred line between police here at home and soldiers abroad.
Maybe they're part all of the Ann Coulter Jihad:

Says Coulter: We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.
I am unsure what her understanding of "Christianity" is, but conversion and repentance unto life is not spread with the sword or the gun.
Coulter's definition of Christianity probably differs pretty significantly from you or me.
