I dont necessarily think he was ahead of his time. I think this is just a battle that his been fought for hundreds (thousands?) of years.

Free men do not ask permission to bear arms.

...this one always hits my emotions hard. We've let too many freedoms slip.

"When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty."

This one got me. Shit, I don't want to rebel. I have a comfortable life and a family. Professional goals, hopes and dreams like everyone else.

But if I stand by and let tyranny reign while I have the capacity to fight it, will my children enjoy the same comforts we do?

I'm sure the founding fathers didn't want to have to rebel either. But they did.

It's our duty now.

I been thinking on those lines too, finally got something, close to retirement but how can we live with ourselves if we don’t stand up. We are all going to die someday and we will have to face all those who went before us, who never had what we had, paid the full price for what we enjoyed. Freedom is not free

I have a comfortable life

Like Hitler said (Americans will never be patriots again after materialism takes them.)

The common cabbage farmer from the late 1700's believed he had a comfortable life.

Until he didn't.

Sorry, but immigration to a developing nation (the US in this case) from England is not the same as third worl immigration to the US today. Fuck off

So true that this has all happened before. I remember reading about many similar political and societal troubles back in Roman times. Also recall reading on .win about Lincoln dealing with large scale vote fraud.
