We almost titled this nonsense – gettin’ ready for
socialists. Then we realized as in “became
aware” – folks we and many others around us are already pretty well along the
path – the one thing of certainty – over and over again in our history books –
we the people will put up with and tolerate the smelliest “you know what’s” running
our governments.
Our founders didn’t!!
Where on earth – where in this wonderful land of the free;
home of the brave – where are just a few – don’t need many – current “founders”
to flush the now almost 100% pile of smelly ones – the 435/100/9 + 000,000’s
more as we move across and visit the large towns and cities and states.
Here is what one of our founders told us – a while back – as
applicable today as when our 3rd president wrote it some time ago:

the
people can not be all, & always, well informed. the part which is wrong [.
. .] will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they
misconceive. if they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy,
the forerunner of death to the public liberty. we have had 13. states
independant 11. years. there has been one rebellion. that comes to one
rebellion in a century & a half for each state. what country before ever
existed a century & half without a rebellion? & what country can
preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that
their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms. the remedy
is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. what signify a few
lives lost in a century or two? the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time
to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. it is it’s natural manure.
