Veterans Day, originally Armistice Day named for the Armistice at the end of the first World War: the 11th month on the 11th day, at the 11th hour... 61 million people died: Oh the Horror! To maintain a free republic the founders feared these foreign wars; they knew that through warfare the lives and the liberties of "we the people" would be diminished; one very important hedge against this usurpation by ruling elites is the 2nd Amendment: A well regulated Militia, being necessary for the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed. "Before a standing army can rule the people must be disarmed; as they are in altmost every kingdom of Europe. The Supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust law's by the sword because the whole body of the people are armed..." Noah Webster " A standing army has always been used by despots to enforce their rule and to keep their people under subjection. It's existence was therefore considered a great threat to peace and stability in a republic and a danger to the rights of a nation." Thomas Jeffereson "A standing army however necessary at times is always a danger to the Liberties of the People...Such a power should be watched with a jealous eye." Sam Adams Hopefully we the people can remember all those who have died and honor them by restoring the true wisdom of the founders; so in the near future we can stop celebrating the deaths of those whom died in foreign wars, because we the people remembered and honored the spirit of the Constitution... |
