When is freedom our duty?

[Ernest_ODell]

In short... ALL the time.

From the Declaration of Independence:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.

Should the Marxists in Washington D.C. decide to tamper with our rights, including those in the Bill of Rights, it will become necessary to effect changes in our government and bring it back to its Constitutional roots.  This is done through the ballot process in the voting booth.

Should our voting rights be taken away from us, God help us.  We will have to pay dearly to get them back.

Just look at the damage left behind in Russia and the Ukraine after 70 plus years of Communism: they have yet to fully recover.

God forbid it ever happens to us.  If we do not stay vigilant as to what is going in in D.C., we will be the ones to suffer... and your kids, and your grandkids.
