Let’s remember what our forefathers were fighting, against and for.
It seems that lately we are forgetting to bless what we have. We have forgotten why we fought for independence. We have forgotten to be not just a beacon but also an example to others who are struggling to be free. Instead we find ourselves wondering what the government will do for us now, and how it will take care of us.
We need to remember that WE are the stewards, not the government. WE THE PEOPLE. We need to begin taking care of ourselves again. Remember: that which gives you everything, can also take it away.
The Tree of Liberty seems to be wilting, and it may be time to water it again.

…”Instead we find ourselves wondering what the government will do for us now, and how it will take care of us.”…
WE? No. Personally, I find myself wondering, “what the government will do to us, and what more it will take from us”
“We must hang together, gentlemen…else, we shall most assuredly hang separately.”
— Benjamin Franklin
We? who the hell is We? Or, who the hell are they?

In my defense I used the royal “We”, seeing as this is now a monarchy. But you are correct.

The debate seems to be Freedom vs. free stuff. I’ll take freedom. And all the risks that go with it.

I wouldn’t mind free guns to protect my freedoms. I mean, I don’t think I’d say no, anyway. Maybe. Prolly not, though, especially if it’d keep our out of control government on its toes.
