David and Goliath

The way to beat the monster of corrupt and overbearing government, lies in the individual.

Throughout history we have had many examples of this.

David felled Goliath

One man stood up to the tanks in Tiananmen Square, and helped expose the brutality of the communist China regime.

Gandhi stood up to the British Empire and helped India realize independence.

George Washington lost many battles, but won by taking smaller victories where he could with what he had. Over time he was able to wear out the British forces who were far superior to the motley crew of American Patriots.

And so today, here we are again. It is no longer Great Britain who is the Goliath, but the very government imposed to protect us from such a giant. The American government today is perhaps one of the must tyrannical entities on the planet. Especially when you consider the power and wealth at their disposal.

We learn how to tame this beast in the writings of David and Goliath. We take our victories where we can. The big battles won’t be one immediately, and not in the form of elections for president (unless Ron Paul wins), but in local elections, in state laws, in the people coming together to protect themselves and their neighbors from encroaching government.

Our victories on the battlefield for information lies with the internet, on blogs such as these, where philosophy and politics is laid out for everyone to see.

Do not sit down and allow Goliath to stomp down on you. Stand up, speak out, do something! Take the small victories where you can, and realize that many battles lie ahead in this increasingly bitter war.

In the end, freedom prevails, when there are enough David’s in the room to stand up and stick spears in the beast.

Just as the original American revolution was a hard won battle, so this one will be also. The war was won by a group of individuals who stood up and got together, and stuck through all the hardships, in order to prevail.

The question is; are you prepared to be David?

You are the difference between good and evil

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing – Edmund Burke

Edmund Burke PC (12 January [NS] 1729[1]– 9 July 1797) was an Irish[2][3] statesman, author, orator, political theorist and philosopher who, after moving to England, served for many years in the House of Commons of Great Britain as a member of the Whig party.

He is mainly remembered for his support of the cause of the American Revolutionaries, and for his later opposition to the French Revolution. The latter led to his becoming the leading figure within the conservative faction of the Whig party, which he dubbed the “Old Whigs”, in opposition to the pro–French Revolution “New Whigs”, led by Charles James Fox.[4]

Burke was praised by both conservatives and liberals in the 19th century. Since the 20th century, he has generally been viewed as the philosophical founder of modern Conservatism,[5][6] as well as a representative of classical liberalism.

I watched the movie ‘tears of the sun’ the other day. I’ve seen it before, but when it popped up on my Netflix account, I couldn’t help but want to see it again. It is a movie about a navy seal team that is sent into Nigeria to pick up an American citizen, before her mission is wiped out by an army group of ethnic cleansers.

Rather than allow all the villagers and missionaries to die, the Lieutenant of the Seal Team decides to rescue them by marching 40 miles toward Cambodia. The story is about how evil can only triumph when good men do nothing. The movie illustrates that doing the right thing is not easy and lives can be lost, but that it is soul redeeming, and the right thing to do for your fellow man. Our country is at a crossroads right now, and it will take good men to stand up and speak out against tyranny and oppression.

No one could make a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little. – Edmund Burke

Never think that you cannot do enough by yourself. The very fact that you might read something like this means that you are already doing something to help the cause of freedom. The next best thing is that you speak out. It doesn’t matter if you only tell one or two people what you’ve found out because that will help immensely. In network marketing we’re taught about multiplication. If I tell 5 people, and they tell people and so on another five times, that’s 15625 people who have benefited along the way. Never assume that you can’t do something to help.

It doesn’t matter if you write, research, talk to others, attend a tea party meeting, attend your local town-hall meeting, or simply read about current events. Staying informed and learning the truth is the gateway to knowledge and ideas, and ideas backed by knowledge and wisdom change the world.

The difference between good and evil is you. Remember that, and act upon it.

Even if you’re the only man standing; you are standing, and that makes all the difference.
