We are each, we are the ones that we are.
I am not you, you are not me,
and neither of us have to be either of us.
We are unequal, as we are able and as we will.
We are equal, as nature makes it so.
Living liberty, as each, we are American.
This, our hearts, our souls, I say is of God, as I am able.

There are objects of my mind, some long settled and newly reasoned, things that bear such weight, that the consequence of their mention is prohibitive… at least in my mind.

Words from my reason, my ideas, may not only be such that bind and bend the different soul in a particular circumstance, they as well can be of a sort that cannot be entrusted to any or as many and great, that these may be turned in upon, and find harm to invisible men.

But these same compulsive ponderings on the effect of my expounding, that lead me silent, might have a result counter to my imagining, and do damage by their never being heard.

It is a bit of a curse, I think, a sort of hyper-diligence to duty, to honor and responsibility, that I self-censor so. As well I sit with a bit of distrust. It’s not either that I fancy myself some immortal pillar of virtue, for the contrary is clear. Nor is it that I think so highly of mine own creations, for that opposite potentiality is half of the conundrum.

So I’ll take council with my God, as we have kept and may keep these unspoken, lest a man offer to guide my voice, whom I’ll promptly ignore, and return to my original council.

Existence of a liberty no more justifies its particular exercise, than its passiveness renders it just.

~tdv

UPDATE 10.01.12: To clarify, this writing has NO bearing on our Constitutionally protected freedom of speech! Don’t try to make the connection between this article and recent calls for Americans to shut up to appease Islamic murderers, as I firmly believe these calls are dangerous to our republic, and downright idiotic.
This article is simple introspection, and any correlation inferred by you radical leftist America-haters is pure hog sh!t before it’s even digested.

Federalist No. 62, paragraph 16 (emphasis mine):

The internal effects of a mutable policy are still more calamitous. It poisons the blessings of liberty itself. It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood: if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes, that no man who knows what the law is to-day, can guess what it will be to-morrow. Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known and less fixed.

Notes to reader (more accurately, note to self):
1.) If the deterioration of the America that we once knew and loved seems to be worsening, well that’s because it is, but also it seems that folks who can actually write are more frequently compiling synopses that, for us dummies and amnesiacs, paint a better picture of the whole of our decline. Leastwise, I’m noticing it more.
2.) I am fully aware of the fact that I still cannot write, nor am I expert on any thing, save my living, even which may be stretch’n it. ~tdv

First fortune is birth among liberty, second is counting on living it. ~tdv @ 08.24.12

The progressives really have no right to your liberty. They NEVER did, they always knew it, and they are dangerous. @ 08.24.12
Re: Don’t Play by JHoward

If desertion of the Constitution equals rebellion against the U.S. (amd.14,s.3), then any debt to that end is void (amd.14,s.4). see obamacare, etc. @ 08.24.12
~Below emphasis mine, and it ties, I’m tell’n ya :]

amd.14,s.3: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

amd.14,s.4: The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

In the only cases in which the masses have escaped the kind of grinding poverty you’re talking about, the only cases in recorded history, are where they have had capitalism and largely free trade.
If you want to know where the masses are worst off, it’s exactly in the kinds of societies that depart from that…

An Autonomous Declaration (draft)

19 Thursday Jul 2012

Posted by in America, Liberty

≈ Leave a comment

, , ,

As it is occasioned, free men must reassert and reaffirm their individual liberty, and their rightful station thereof, and guard themselves from the creeping of despotism.

I submit to you this preliminary text:

~An Autonomous Declaration~
draft

I am, and of right ought to be, a free and independent human being; I am entitled by the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God to the powers of liberty vested in me, such as any and all that sustain and enrich my life; with respect for the selfsame powers of liberty inherent in my fellow man; and I claim ownership of all that the exercise of my liberty brings, whether it be failure and loss or success and reward.

I affirm my support for the Constitution of the State wherein I reside, and I affirm my support for the Constitution of the United States of America as being the Supreme Law of the Land; for these are protections of  life, liberty, inalienable rights, pursuits, and property, secured to us by enormous blood and treasure of our ancestors and our contemporaries; and these are limited and enumerated powers and authority that I delegate to a government of my peers, and these are my primary contract with society.

I will not comply with, I will not submit to, and I reject; any and all arbitrary dictates of men, their so-called “laws” that are unmoored from the principles set forth by our country’s Declaration of Independence, or their edicts inconsistent with the Constitution of the United States.

I will, in matters of commerce, as is my free choice, show deference and preference to those of my countrymen who concur with this declaration.

I am an American ~tdv (subconch)
