While it is true the trolls are active, I ask that you consider…

… the Jefferson quote is the very heart of the “American Experiment” discussed in recent comments to your post The Patriots Great Commission …

… where is the outpouring of agreement from all the readers who are allegedly lovers of liberty …

I fear Fran was correct in his assessment:

“A huge percentage of people will say to you that “I’m all for freedom, but--” And then comes the list of exceptions. Is it plausible that such persons, as desirous of coercing others as they are of being uncoerced themselves, would make comfortable allies?”

Just sayin’ … change my mind.

This describes the capitalist class (monopoly and oligopoly; the practices, tendencies, codified policies and the unwritten rules of participation extending to all facets of the economy). This could also be posited in asking why one would be for the freedoms of the elites (which much of the masses in effect bolster, by continual consent through the vote along with having no control over the financial institutions, and limited capacity for organization and mobilization amongst themselves in challenging the narrowing scope of power and its politics), when they use their economic mobility to minimize access of the public to the levers of power? This is all leading to a scenario in which WWIII will be a reckoning of sorts (domestically and globally) for people who were unable to work things out during decades of relative peace; all systems were designed to fail. This provides the basis of why it will largely be a war of surrendering to survive.
