Tell
me,how do you find common ground with people who seek to take away your
money and your freedom? Seriously! How do you do that? You see, I, and
others like me, do not seek your subjugation. We do not seek to force
you, through the power of law and the force of law-enforcement, to live
your life as we want you to. We do not call for ever more laws in an
effort to force you to change who and what you are or how you do things.
We believe in freedom, personal liberty, and as long as you do not harm
others or infringe on their rights then have at it.
But
the left in this country, and the right, in its own way(s), seeks
something altogether different. More laws each year to force you to
comply with someone elses idea of how you should live your life. More
taxes and fees that take more of your money, thus restricting your
freedom and ability to buy the things you want. And after you have lived
a long life and saved lots of money to leave for your kids, or whomever
you choose, the government swoops in and takes half of it before they
ever see it. Explain to me how that is freedom.
Laws
that restrict so many of your movements and daily efforts at life that
no one can possibly keep up with them all. Hell, the police, the very
people charged with ENFORCING those laws, don't even know or understand
them all. Judges, lawyers, magistrates of every type must call for a
recess, so they can go and consult their texts to see if they are on the
right track. Para-legals do research to find out all the laws that
apply to a particular case. And all the while you keep telling yourself -
I live in a free country. How do you find "common ground" with people
who advocate for such things?
I
will not try to be nice to or understanding of anyone who seeks to take
away my freedom and rights under any guise for any reason. Those people
are my enemies and enemies are to be defeated. Does that sound harsh?
Do you think I go too far? Then stop and think about what "those people"
are trying to do to you. Are they being too harsh? Are they going "too
far?" Do you even care about freedom? I mean freedom for everyone, not
just you. At some point you are going to have to deal with reality. The
reality is that once freedom is lost you don't get it back by "asking
for it." All the begging and pleading and petitioning in the world means
nothing to tyrants. And the "tyranny of good intentions" is still
tyranny, no matter how you slice it.
