Whenever I start to complain about the state of affairs in the United States, how we are slowly losing liberty, self reliance, and self determination to the juggernaut that is big government, people will point out that I should be happy that I have as many freedoms as I have, that we are still the most liberty-laden country in the world, and I should sit down and shut up.
This is my reply:
Imagine that your grandfather wanted to buy you a car. A nice sports car, with leather seats, and state of the art EVERYTHING. Let's say he worked hard for years, and years to save up enough money to buy you this perfect car. He finally saves up enough money, goes to the dealership, pays for this car, and gets a receipt. He then goes to your house, and hands you the receipt for this perfect sports car. You are excited, you run to the dealership to pick up your car. You show them the receipt, and they go to the back to get the car. The salesman pulls around the building, and you see a bright , shiny new YUGO. The guy gets out and hands you the keys. Now, what do you do? Do you complain, and demand that they give you the sports car that your grandfather worked so hard for? Or should you be happy that you have a car, sit down, and shut up?
Our forefathers fought, and died, to secure, for us, a republic that protected the sovereignty of the individual over the tyranny of the masses, and the government. Hell yes, I'm going to fight, when they try to deny me that which my ancestors paid dearly for.
