Fwd::Freedom is too PRECIOUS to be taken for granted !

[Guest guest]

Dear and friends,

 

I hope that you all have an enjoyable celebration of the anniversary

of the wining of freedom for Americans. If we remember the price

that our ancestors were will to pay in order to ACHIEVE this freedom,

let us not assume that we are entitled to continue enjoying that

freedom without PAYING SOMETHING FOR IT OURSELVES.

Please take a moment to ponder these quotations:

" As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. . .

Restriction on free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of

all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily

defeat us. "

William O. Douglas , Former U.S. Supreme Court Justice

 

" The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain

occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be

exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. "

Thomas Jefferson

 

" If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier,

just so long as I'm the dictator. " -George W. Bush

( during a photo-op with Congressional leaders on 12/18/2000. )

 

" I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom

of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power

than by violent and sudden usurpations. "

James Madison

 

" Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor

slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get

out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the

common people don't want war: neither in Russia, nor in England,

nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But after all it is

the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always

a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy,

or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship

... . . Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the

bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell

them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of

patriotism and exposing the country to danger. "

Nazi leader, Hermann Goering,

 

" The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield

the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences

of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of

its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the

lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of

the state. "

Nazi leader, Dr. Joseph M. Goebbels

" Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in

a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor - with the cry of grave

national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at

home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us

up if we did not blindly rally behind it. "

U.S. General Douglas MacArthur, 1957 " The only thing necessary

for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. "

Edmund Burke

Friends, I urge you to make the effort to become informed enough to

work VERY HARD to defeat one the gravest threats to America's

freedom that has occured in our life time, the dictatorship wannabe's

in the White House right now, headed coincidentally by dictatorial

ruler named " George " . The best and most accessible sources of

information that I know ofright now, besides many books I could

recommend, are the fantastic Michael Moore movie, showing in

theatres right now, " Farenheit 9/11 " , and the extremely powerful

video you may be able to view on your computer, if you have a

broadband connection and sound capability,

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article6423.htm, which

features a slew of credible Dept. of State & Defense and CIA

experts whoreveal the incredibledeceitfulness of an administration

willing to put our country through the tremendous cost of human life

and national treasure - NOT for the welfare of the nation -but for the

political and/or financial benefit of those who call the shots from the

seats of power which they maynot even have won " fair and square " .

 

Please check these out and if you recognize their value, as I am sure

you will, promote them to your own friends and family, so that

America and the world may continue to enjoy more and MORE

freedom, rather than LESS and LESS.

 

And may God bless THE WHOLE WORLD, not JUST America !
