Benjamin Franklin had some pithy sayings on this subject:
•“Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
•“Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins. Republics…derive their strength and vigor from a popular examination into the action of the magistrates.”
•“Ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation to the prejudice and oppression of another is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy…An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy.”
Do we have anyone remotely like him anymore involved in US governance?
Before you comply, ask yourself who it is that's telling you you should "just comply".
"**FUCK YOU!!**" is the *only* proper response to the brownshirts.
For those who say "But, it might piss them off, and Bad Things might happen", I say:
Bad Things are *already happening **anyway***, and kowtowing to the bastards is *not* going to save you. It only *encourages* them.
.
They are tryiing to make resistance punishable by instant death... and we know where *that* will lead......
