A free society extinguishes once it becomes a democracy.

It's our great fortune the Founders were insightful enough to make this Nation a constitutional Republic. Let's keep it and support the Constitution...

    “A society that robs an individual of the product of his effort, or enslaves him, or attempts to limit the freedom of his mind, or compels him to act against his own rational judgment … is not, strictly speaking, a society, but a mob held together by institutionalized gang-rule.”

    — Ayn Rand

      . . . also this by Any Rand, "The most profoundly revolutionary achievement of the United States of America was the subordination of society to moral law.

      "The principle of man’s individual rights represented the extension of morality into the social system — as a limitation on the power of the state, as man’s protection against the brute force of the collective, as the subordination of might to right."

      My point is to remind everyone that without universal support of the Constitution, man’s protection against the brute force of the collective, will be lost.

        I believe, that protection is gone.
        We are enslaved with income tax (a level that is higher than what slaves would pay back to their owners when they went to work for someone else. Back then, they returned 10%)
        When a government DECIDES what % of YOUR work you get to keep. You are enslaved.

        Income tax is slavery!

    The constitutional republic was severly wounded when the free market was replaced with a violation of the constitution with the replacement of value based coin with an instutuional monoply bank. It was dead with the passage of the Act of 1871. There is only the belief that we are free because we can vote for the enfranchisement of power by the federal government and what tyrant is currently in power. America does not move toward free agency and liberty. It constantly moves away from while believing the lie that it has something it doesn't.

    And yet so many politicians speak of democracy as if it were a good thing. To many of us do not realize that a democracy is where a majority can take anything it wants at the expense of a minority :-( Our education system is failing!

      Yes! . . . because of democracy, the United States is already transitioning into an oligarchy. And thanks to globalists, their agendas have already infiltrated every state in the Union for implementation.

    Each and every individual is urged to join or support their local Militia. All states in the Union should have a state wide "unorganized Constitutional Militia" (US Code Title 10). They are a serious threat to political control, corruption, taxation, inflation, cartels, war, — in fact, all tyrannies.
