What we leave is as important as how we live...

Dear Son...

Quote;

"You enter this world at a critical moment. For the past three decades or so, your mother and I have experienced a decrease in our liberty that was at first gradual, but by now it runs at a frightening pace. When we first became adults according to the legal definition, we were enthralled with the political, and actively advanced the agenda of what is referred to today as the Republican Party. Since then, we have changed, and you will hear us refer to it as the Imperialist, Fascist, or Dead Elephant Party as you grow up. They sometimes oppose, but often complement, the Democrat Party, which we refer to as the Socialists. In truth, you could refer to either party with either description, but we’ll try to be consistent.

I ask you to forgive us. Our actions in our youth shame us today, for when we advanced the Imperialists we forced our precious inheritance, Liberty, to retreat. That we did not see the retreat at the time makes our actions all the more shameful. As a result of our sin against you, we are forced at this point to begin our preparations for a civil war that grows ever more likely every day. Whether that war takes the form of a general decay in law and order and a rise in totalitarianism, or the sudden arrival of a Napoleon- or Lincoln-like character, I cannot say. But I will say that I will, from this day forward, do everything within my power to restore to you at least as much liberty as I had when I was born. That is a tall order, but it is the least that I can do."

I have been struggling with the writing of this kind of letter myself. My child's birth, while not my first realization of how wrong things had become, was the catalyst for how I needed to step the fuck up and take a stand for him. I could play it safe, low key, try to gray man it, but fact is, they always catch up to you in the end.

Do what you will to me, but you will not make my child a slave.

I know the history of those who did not resist.

So what with good conscience am I to do? Let my child join the ghosts of the Gulags? Die Konzentrationslager? The killing fields?

DON'T think it can happen here?

Idiots.

No keyboard commandos here. No threats. Only credible deterrence from determined men such as in the mold of Isaac Davis will save us, despite the seething mass of stupidity that is mainstream Amerika today.

Non Sibi Sed Patriae -- "Not for self, but for country."

A country worth leaving to our children.

Freedom. It is not free.

What is their sacrifice compared with getting off your ass and saying ENOUGH?
