“Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There never was a democracy that did not commit suicide.â€

John Adams (1835-1826)

Make that 1735 - 1826

Good article. Thanks for posting.

To the author - You are wrong, and I'll tell you why:

You are dealing now with a breed of persons who have experienced true freedom, and once one has gotten a taste of that freedom, one will move heaven and earth to protect and defend it.

Americans are a new breed of people, none like them has ever existed before. You know all those rules to which there is an exception? Americans are the embodiment of that exception, so stand back!

As for this Health Care bill being the law of the land...so was the Simpson/Mazolli act of 1986 and you see how they enforced that one.

They don't get to pick and choose which laws to enforce and which ones to let go by the wayside. And if it becomes a question of who gets to say what goes, my vote is with "We the People".

Look, the bottom line here is do we really believe the rhetoric that our rights come from God? If we do, then we are duty bound to protect and defend them.

I do not advocate violence as a means of doing so, but if that is what it will take, then so be it.
