Tyranny, like hell

[bh1999]

Thomas Paine “Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”

[josephinesped]

And fighting it is better than living it.

They say the Reagan Presidency was the era of "Trickle down Economics".

I say the Obama Presidency is the era of "Trickle Down Tyranny".

[Charlie Echo]

There was a chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab, the Prof noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt.
The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist regime.

In the midst of his story, he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked: "Do you know how to catch wild pigs?" The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said that it was no joke.

"You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming.

When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again. You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.

Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity."

The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening in America .. The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies,dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP),welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time.

One should always remember two truths:
1) There is no such thing as a free lunch, someone is paying for it
2) and when you begin to think that having your government provide for you and make your decisions is ok, realize that you've also given up the freedom that goes with making your own choices.

If you see that all of this wonderful government'help' is a problem confronting the future ofdemocracy in America , you might want to send this on to your friends.

If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life, God help you when the gate slams shut!

i love how neo-cons just love Reagan. They talk about how reagan was so conservative......"join the reagan revolution" says mark levin. yes let me join the revolution that created massive deficits and debt. I'll join the revolution that sold not only arms but drugs as well, to foreign countries. I'll surely join the revolution that increased the overall size of our federal government. if you people follow levin and his twisted neo-con logic, you deserve to have your empty heads detached from your bodies.

i, you deserve to have your empty heads detached from your bodies.

If this is some liberal wack job threat then maybe we need the FBI to look at where you live.
You libs are the ones that have no other arguement and must resort to this sort of thing yet you call US the extremists.

He is a master debater one might say. Say; master debater, three times fast.
No doubt there is a lot of that in his mothers basement.

Love the pig story.

One can't just say "Liberty." Every single law from seat-belts to Obamni-care must be weighed as though one were willing to punch his neighbor in the face to accomplish the goal. Because government is force, no different from a punch in the face. Would you punch a thief in the face to prevent a robbery? Then that's a good law. Are you willing to punch your neighbor in the face to force him to wear a seatbelt? I'm not.

Supporting the likely Nomni (u like? nominee Romni = Nomni) is as anti-liberty as it gets. For the author of a book titled "Liberty...," it must really hurt. For a scholar of the Constitution to be forced to support the end of the Republic must be maddening. Make no mistake, this Republic is over when free men won't choose Liberty when it's hard to choose Liberty. Make the choice for freedom. Romni isn't it.
