If you were an enemy of the culture and by your very nature an enemy of the people due to your in-bred subversive political agenda, you’d be nervous too when any of them began to arm themselves.

Hitler agreed with you::

“The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerers who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing.”
–(Hitler’s Secret Conversations – 1941 – 1944, Farrar, Straus and Young, 1953, Page 345)

As my son is fond of reminding me, in Medieval England, “it was made compulsory for all males starting from the age of seven, to undergo archery training” every Feast day and each Sunday after church. Also, “each Englishman aged sixteen to sixty had to own a longbow that was equal to his own height.”

“In 1542, an Act was passed regarding archery distance. As per this Act, the minimum target distance was 220 yards for anybody who was aged minimum 24 years. The longbow had a maximum range of almost 400 yards. A trained archer was supposed to be capable of two issues. He should be able to shoot 12 to 15 arrows per minute. He must be able to hit a man sized target at a minimum distance of 200 yards. All those aged 16 to 60 were morally bound to protect the country in the time of crises. The English army of Edward III in the battle of Crecy in 1346 had a total strength of 19000 men out of which there were 7000 to 10000 archers.

While these laws clearly led to a more militarily prepared England, could it not also be seen (in Libertarian terms) as at least semi-totalitarian? However, historically the English have never hesitated to talk back to their king.

“I Have Sworn Upon the Altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.”

That quote from Thomas Jefferson is my own central life motivation. I live and breathe it.

I can’t watch the movie The Adjustment Bureau without shouting at the screen. Not even angels have the right to interfere with the free will God has given each of us. It is what makes us more than clay. It’s what makes us made in the image of God.

Conscription is one of the most evil variations on slavery — perhaps worse than plantation slavery, because it is done in the name of the common good — the vilest lie I can imagine.

No country that survives by conscription deserves another day on this earth — and those who advocate for such evil are my enemies no matter how good they think their intentions. They place their own opinion in the position of God. Fuck these hubristic arrogant motherfuckers to the fires of hell.

Militia — the banding together of free men to defend their freedom — is the opposite. Training in arms to band together in defense of freedom is blessed.

That’s the line in the sand.

(Big smile). So… a little more than “semi-totalitarian”?

Quite literally!

“James had described kings as “little Gods on Earth”, chosen by God to rule in accordance with the doctrine of the “Divine Right of Kings” – excerpt from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Civil_War)

But, the populace (including youth) being expert in war did indeed lead to the demise of the ruler. Charles I was found guilty of high treason, as a “tyrant, traitor, murderer and public enemy” and beheaded in 1649.

Thomas Jefferson answered King James:

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.
