Heroes - Every One

[HARDCORE]

10-15-2022

“HEROES - EVERY ONE!”

There is a great deal of bull-manure that flows incessantly out of the rattraps of those Saturday - Morning matinee idols, replete with their soul-stirring and thunderous music, the raucous and nearly deafening applause, and the elation that is to be temporarily had in knowing that every man is a hero and that no man ever really dies – ah, the fantasies of ever-forgetful youth?

In reality, however, war and combat are dead-serious businesses, with the emphasis upon ‘The Word Dead!’ And no man who has not experienced the true sting and desperation of combat is in any position to even render a passing opinion about the actual fear that courses through the veins and the minds of mankind in stress, or those who have not experienced the actual fear and uncertainty of the people who just knew for a fact that their very next breath could very well be their last? Or the fact that they too could soon be just lying there in some lifeless and formless heap of flesh that even their very own mother could not recognize or identify?

But then, it is always the other guy who dies in wars is it not – or the other mother’s son who is carried home amidst great earthly fanfare and accord - trumpets blowing, tears flowing, and pride bursting! But then no genuine man really ever dies, and so it is, and so it forever has been, ever since the first “ROMAN” was carried home, his lifeless body regaled out upon his glorious shield, over two millennia ago! “But when will we ever learn!”

For there is no glory in death, only oblivion and maybe even despair! And mankind has never (nor will he ever), genuinely learn that history is replete with the tales of those truly brave men and women who gave their last full measure of earthly love, in an attempt to genuinely make a difference within a world that so quickly forgets true devotion, patriotism and dedication! But then history, the memory and the love of the parents of the gallantly fallen, along with “The Almighty Himself”, Never-Ever Forgets!

No. See 18 USC Sections 2381, 2382, 2383, 2384, 2385. Treason, Sedition, and Subversive Activities.

President Lincoln said, The people of these United States are the rightful masters of both Congresses and Courts. Not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.

There are legal, peaceful remedies to accomplish this.

Former President, Sons of the American Revolution Chapter -1y

Americans do not have the right to violently overthrow or revolt against our government as long as our Constitution endures. John Locke, Aquinas, John Stuart Mills, and others wrote about the right to violently oppose an oppressive government. But in America, WE are the government. It says so in the first words of the Constitution, “We the people….” Locke, Aquinas, and others were talking about the right to revolt against a government that was not, “of the people.” Second, there is no right to the violent overthrow of the American Government because the Constitution has given a non-violent means.

First there is the vote - just elect new leaders.

Second, there is Article V of the US Constitution, which provides for amendments and constitutional conventions to change the government.

Therefore, given these means in which the majority can non-violently change the government, a violent overthrow would be by its very nature, a rebellion of the minority seeking to oppress the majority.One other comment. A quotation has been suggested by my friends who have called on armed rebellion. Thomas Jefferson is said to have made the statement, “When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” Well, who would want to argue against Jefferson? Not me, but I don’t have to since Jefferson never said this. It was said by John Basil Barnhill in a debate in 1914 in St. Louis.

“Where in the Constitution does it say we can overthrow the government?”

It is in the Declaration.

* “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 of 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 shewn, 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.”

But we don’t need to overthrow the Constitution. The Constitution is a good system. As Lincoln said,

“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. [1]

Personal note: We The People - are at fault: We elected and voted for all these
so-called government officials in Every & State In The Union! Live or Die we are
the ones who put these rascals in office - and are now living with their motives -
ideals - and outcomes.
-
The two party system is either: Yea or Nea on all issues. We the People who put them
in office have to live with their decisions. The only way to get a different vote is to
remove them from office - and re-elect person's who will get the "People's request
to be approved. Here is he sticking point. Not all state representative's of the two
party system can agree. It's Yea or Nea - that's what causes the grief in this
country. Each state has officials who once elected - eventually fall in line with
each Parties Leader-ship's decisions - and what votes the two House's will agree to.
-
Therefore the People's wishes have at many times fallen short of passing.
Because of the lack of our two-party majority interest. (The primary problem
is in our system). Good or Bad - until one side gets the majority - followed
by its passage - which is either: Yea or Nea! in all cases. It's very rare when
the leverage from the President pulls the strings to ensure its passage.
