If anyone finds this blog, the wish is sincere.
I have much for which I am thankful: health, love, family, friends -- and a small remnant of the liberty for which this blog is named, sufficient to allow the expressions of my thoughts.
Here's hoping you had a good day!

Response to Neal Ross
Mr. Ross, I hope this response to your Federal Observer article, “An Angry American Speaks Out,”
http://www.federalobserver.com/archive.php?aid=12041
doesn’t come off as disagreement, or even criticism, because I certainly echo your sentiment. I do wish however, that you’d speak plainly, and let us know how you really feel. ;-)
But your well-deserved anger shouldn’t be limited to ungrateful and parasitic foreigners -- even though many of them, despite cliché cover stories of simply trying to better their lives, are really here as much to exercise their hostility and disrespect for us, as to work, and are merely putting up with low-paid menial work as the price for getting to do so (while drawing multiple welfare subsidies at our expense, no less.)
Greater blame though, should fall on those in “our” governments who, in blatant opposition to us whom they allegedly serve, first sanction the crimes committed by the invaders, then utilize the problems thus caused as pretext to further subjugate us. Politicians who have a sworn duty to protect us, flaunt their selective non-enforcement of our laws in our faces, then tell us we are stingy racists to ask them to honor their oaths.
Indeed, it would be a close contest (could the truth be known) as to which group holds us in greater contempt – the invaders, or "our" public officials helping them (with our tax money) to supplant us. But "our" government owes us duties that, presumably, invaders do not.
It is all part of what the late Samuel Francis called “anarcho-tyranny,” in an article he titled Synthesizing Tyranny. You might want to read it at:

He described anarcho-tyranny as:
I think we are both clear as to whom governments at all levels are “letting off the hook”, and on whom they are gleefully cracking down.
Mr. Francis, presenting anarcho-tyranny as one of the main tactics in a wider culture war, went on to point out that:
It pains me to admit that I think it is either far too late, or several centuries too early -- for those few Americans who really understand how comprehensive and intentional is the attack upon them and their rights, and are independent enough to act -- to preserve the liberty of more than an occasional brave and lucky few.
The elites running (ruining) our world have succeeded far too well at mentally crippling the majority of us as children through TV and the Public Fool System, and at burdening us with "debt" far beyond any conceivable ability to "repay." The only "salvation" they offer from the oncoming financial and social collapse of this nation is the burgeoning police state, and our "escape" is likely to be a nuclear-armed Dark Age, unless far more Citizens than now seems likely, wake up and deal with the menacing facts.
When our fellow sheepizens stumble trustingly into the pen, though "our" governments treat us as prey, I say lop off any offending branch thereof you can reach, since it sprouts unbidden, and grows like kudzu -- though herbicides may be more efficient than pruning. But in that cause, the less specific the better, and Committees of One sometimes succeed where mass movements fail.

http://chroniclesmagazine.org/www/Chronicles/2005/April2005/0405Francis.html
He described anarcho-tyranny as:
“… both anarchy (the failure of the state to enforce the laws) and, at the same time, tyranny—the enforcement of laws by the state for oppressive purposes….”
I think we are both clear as to whom governments at all levels are “letting off the hook”, and on whom they are gleefully cracking down.
Mr. Francis, presenting anarcho-tyranny as one of the main tactics in a wider culture war, went on to point out that:
“The laws that are enforced are either those that extend or entrench the power of the state and its allies and internal elites … or else they are the laws that directly punish those recalcitrant and “pathological” elements in society who insist on behaving according to traditional norms…. Such dangerous elements are the main targets of the tyranny part of anarcho-tyranny.
"For that matter, they also happen to be the main targets of the anarchy part. The laws that do not get enforced are those that protect such elements and their families and communities…. In the revolution, you see, the ordinary criminal, as well as the illegal immigrant, is at least an honorary member, if not a full-fledged officer, of the revolutionary class, like … countercultural college students and hippies. … common hoodlums who commit rapes, robberies, and murders serve as the de facto field troops of the culture war, and it is hardly an accident that there is now a growing movement to extend the vote to those criminals …. Having served the revolutionary elite well, they deserve a promotion.”
It pains me to admit that I think it is either far too late, or several centuries too early -- for those few Americans who really understand how comprehensive and intentional is the attack upon them and their rights, and are independent enough to act -- to preserve the liberty of more than an occasional brave and lucky few.
