Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- “I choose not to be a ‘common’ man. It is my right to be ‘uncommon.’
I seek opportunity, not ‘security.’ I do not wish to be a ‘kept citizen,’ humbled and dulled by having the state ‘look after’ me.
I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build; to fail or succeed: to daily breath the blessed air of freedom. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer challengers of life to ‘guaranteed existence,’ the thrill of fulfillment to the calm of ‘utopia.’
I will not trade freedom for beneficence, nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master, nor bend to any threat.
It is my heritage to audaciously stand erect, proud and unafraid, to think and act for myself, to enjoy the benefits of my creation, and to face the world boldly and say:
‘This I have done’” ~ Anon
You can’t be free, so long as you have your hand out!
You’ll never experience fulfillment when you’ve traded your dignity for a pitiable government dole, when you filch off the productive labor of your fellow citizens, while contributing nothing.
This incentive-killing “parasitic existence” is relentlessly promoted by leftists/Socialists in Europe and Socialists, masquerading as “Democrats,” over here. Their only goal is the maintenance and expansion of a permanent “underclass,” forever dependent and unproductive, that keeps them in power. And, it is sounding death bells for all of Western Civilization, begun by our courageous ancestors in ancient Greece who threw-off the bondage of slavery so many centuries ago.
Now, leftists are inviting us all to become slaves once more. They want to “bring us together” into common bondage!
Just as these Socialists are deathly afraid of audacious, productive, and independent citizens, they are even more afraid of us when we’re armed! How can they presume to “take care” of us when we’re convinced that we don’t need them?
We finally have a president who does not cater to losers and who does not suffer seedy prevaricators, and liberals are having to reluctantly confront the disturbing fact that some of us don’t want to be slaves.
They’re scared to death!
“I prefer dangerous liberty to peaceful slavery.” ~ Thomas Jefferson
Me too!

That statement makes you a native Uncle Tom. Beware native Uncle Tom, your white, so called friends only tolerate you because you agree with them. The moment you have a disagreement with them you’ll be just another drunk Injun to be mocked and loathed. Ever hear the right say anything nice about native Americans? No, because it never happens.
And yet – today – another state fell to unconstitutional citizen disarmament laws – once again – upheld by the court.
oldvet….Is that what TS stands for? I was thinking more along the lines of “Too Stupid”.
It’s garbage. Enough with the pathetic attempt to intellectualize it. You really think that liberals want to enslave you? It starts to go downhill as soon as Farnum adds his own words, or rather the tired old spin words of the far right–only appealing to disaffected Walmart Republicans who think that all the evils of the world are caused by welfare mothers. This tripe is about being against welfare and keeping gun rights. That’s all. All the slavery references and picture of shackles is a insult to the people who actually did have to endure the real horrors of slavery… Read more »
Contrary to a couple of the comments above. This is a pretty good primer about the working philosophies of two of the primary forms of governance in the world today. One might be called philosophical Libertarianism, and the other Authoritarian Despotism. There are indeed different forms of slavery. Physical, emotional, and mental to simplify things, and of course combinations thereof. At least that is what my research paper addressed back in the days before things such as spell check, and grammar check existed. My paper received an grade of A-. Due to a couple of sentence fragments and a spelling… Read more »
Utopianism works on both sides of the fence. The leftist socialist utopia is the perpetual, economically impossible free lunch where Peter always pays for Paul: a social welfare utopia. The right’s utopia is a limited constitutional government where the government and its police state have been handed all the (big) guns and decision making power: a warfare utopia.
