Cower So, My Countrymen

america, cowardice, dependence, despotism, fear, freedom, master, tyranny

While ignorance is the fancy of tyrants and masters, greater is their devotion to the cowardice of dependence. This they breathe. @

Cowardice cedes liberty for perceived comfort; it fears the labor of liberty, and blindly embraces the haven of despotism. @

Cower so, my countrymen; bathe yourself in the promise of your master, then wallow in the mire of contempt for your brother. @

What’s left when there’s nothing left by the left? @

When faced with the issue of Constitutionality, the statist will either interpret-to-suit or claim the document invalid. ~tdv @ 05.27.2012
Related: Our Imbecilic Constitution, 05.28.12, by Sanford Levinson, N.Y.Times 

Obama’s Continuing Assault on the Constitution
02.14.12, by Mike Brownfield:

…President Obama has time and time again taken actions contrary to the principles of the founding document he swore to uphold, setting forth on a heretofore uncharted path of unconstitutionality that will fundamentally change the character of this Republic for the worse, not for the better.

Progressivism is simply the systematic, incremental, patient progression away from Constitutional government, and toward centralized power. @

Obamacare Versus the U.S. Constitution
03.26.2012, by Alan Caruba :

In a nation where Congress has already determined how much water your toilet tank can hold and whether you can purchase a 100-watt incandescent light bulb, the assertion of federal power is now so great and so unbounded that a case concerning the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), brought by 26 states will decide whether, in fact, there are any rights or powers left to the states.

President Obama’s top 10 constitutional violations
12.04.2011, By Ilya Shapiro, Senior Fellow in Constitutional Studies, Cato Institute:

And so it’s a good thing that Americans are taking their founding document seriously. After all, the Constitution is the font of all federal power.

I’m f’n tired, by this obligation to life & liberty, angry, at the many who shun their duty to either. @

The coward is silent, so the evil in his midst defines him. @

Comfort is the fruit of Liberty’s labor, but as a seed, it bears none. @

What worry would a man have of his legacy, if he presumes there will be no history to name him? @

Doubting the intentions and actions of the powerful is not only sensible, but vital. @

With awareness of an impending American catastrophe, the powerful and corrupt would ensure their spoils before the fall. @

Govt waste, largesse, and the profound disregard for the people can be explained by their knowledge that America is soon to be Over. @

Only after we agree on Who We Are will it be possible to fix what is wrong with us. @ American Identity

The GOP needs to understand that my support for them is NOT absolute, as I only tolerate them in opposition to their tyrannical counterpart. @

shhh… go back to sleep now. it was only an American dream. @

Free speech & free press are mentioned separately, but in the same statement,which implies a shared standard for individuals & institutions? @

I can’t yell FIRE in a crowded theater, but MSNBC can incite a race war. Sooo, free speech and free press bear different responsibilities? @
