It does not take a majority to prevail… but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.
Samuel Adams
Is this applicable today as it was in prior to the revolution? Based on what I believe, it is not. We the people of the United States have become too divided. We have replaced our love of Liberty with apathy. We do not hold freedom dear.
The proper quote for our time is:
It does not take a majority to prevail… but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of slavery in the minds of men.
At this point, you have two paths:
1. Stop reading.
2. Continue reading after considering the implications.
If you have taken the latter course, ask yourself the following questions:
1. Is our Republic moral and virtuous?
2. Is our government subservient to the people?
3. Do people believe that our country can be restored by elections based on reality or because it is an excuse?
4. Do you really believe you are free if the “government” steals 50% of the fruits of your labor?
5. And most important, is our country a Christian country?
The last question is the crux of the matter. The English called the American Revolution, the Presbyterian Rebellion. The ministers were leading the charge from both the pulpit and the battlefield. Today, the tireless minority are the followers of Islam, not the Lord. Their tireless minority has infiltrated the fabric of our government and is willing to fight for their beliefs. There are out in the streets of Atlanta and Raleigh. They are in the streets of London and Paris. But no one is out in the streets advocating our founding principle of Liberty.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
Samuel Adams
Our chains weigh heavily upon our shoulders because our brothers sold our freedom for entitlements. We do not fight. Some say we wait patiently. As illegal immigrants flood into our country in the final implementation of the Cloward-Piven strategy, we have a decision to make: the rule of law or enslavement by the state. Do not look for politicians to save our country. Do not look for the church to save our country. Look in the mirror and decide if you want your children to be free.
David DeGerolamo
“Is it not High Time for the People of this Country explicitly to declare, whether they will be Freemen of Slaves? It is an important Question which ought to be decided. It concerns us more than any Thing in this life. The Salvation of our Souls is interested in the Event. For wherever Tyranny is establish’d, Immorality of every Kind comes in like a Torrent. It is in the interest of Tyrants to reduce the people to Ignorance and Vice. For they cannot live in any Country where Virtue and Knowledge prevail. The Religion and public liberty of a People are intimately connected; their Interests are interwoven, they cannot subsist separately; and therefore they rise and fall together. For this Reason, is is always observable, that those who are combined to destroy the People’s Liberties practice every Art to poison their Morals. How greatly then does it concern us, at all Events, to put a Stop to the Progress of Tyranny.”
Samuel Adams
It has been observable in my lifetime to see the effect of the poison spread by the elite, who practice every Art to make the people ignorant and immoral. This country has long rejected the call of the Lord. So we will suffer the curse until the People cry out to the Lord because of the affliction.
Agreed. There is only one righteous path back to Liberty.
It will never be right because people who cry daily in blogs like this one, (and many others), who know that at this point there is only one solution for our liberties to be restored will wail, moan and condemn the ones who do take the action we all know needs to be taken. What good does it do to take action when even those who call for that action are the first to jump out and condemn it? No, it won’t be right until the chains of oppression become heavy for the many that action is taken by many and those who purport to write for liberty supports them. Maybe then.
Are you making my point or arguing for continued wailing?
That’s a good question. I’ve pondered on it long and hard without an answer that even I am satisfied with. Perhaps because there is no simple answer. But this is what’s bothering me I guess. Folks seem to think that all of a sudden the inevitable is going to happen and fighting is going to break out all over the place all at once. I don’t see it happening like that. What I think is right now is the loose cannons are coming out. They know we are under attack (make no mistake it has already started) but they are going off half cocked. An emotional response. And the have no survivability. Now law enforcement (the good and bad) only know they have a killer with a gun so they do what they do. They don’t know that person is fighting for God and country. So “the crazies” get taken out early. The cop in California who went berserk and the Las Vegas killers come to mind. Well everyone starts spouting MSM propaganda.
Disgruntled, too radical etc. etc. What aggravates me is so do the alternate media who should know what government propaganda looks like. So at the very least alternative media should reserve judgment instead of falling in line with govt. propaganda against their own cause.
Why? Because soon the crazies will be out of the way and the planners will take their place. They will have a survivability greater than the crazies and will be reading what the people who are supposed to be on their side are saying about them. This can uplift them or discourage them.
You say we haven’t got cause for that? We are not under attack? Every illegal that crosses our border is an attack on this nation. We have been under attack for a long time and it is quickly coming to a head. I only hope those you mentioned in your article and the people who portend to be for liberty recognize it for what it is and comment accordingly when someone responds “constitutionally”.
So I guess the short answer is I’m expanding on your article. Keep up the good work. I know it’s hard.

This may not be the first step, but it is a necessary step.
