FREEDOM IS FUNGIBLE, BY WHICH I MEAN THAT IT’S NOT INTRINSIC TO ONE PLACE. It’s as though freedom were moving from one place in the western hemisphere to another . . . if you know what I mean. Is freedom brewing in Latin America? Many signs point to 'yes'

I WOULD HATE TO SEE IT COME THIS, BUT THEN AGAIN I MIGHT ALSO MOVE TO TEXAS IF IT SECEDED: The Case for Secession. “Might a state like Texas legitimately decide that the federal government has so abandoned its duties under the Constitution that it has no alternative but to remove itself from the Union, and vindicate its citizens’ rights itself? I think such a decision, given the enormity of the issue of illegal immigration, would indeed be legitimate. Whether it would be well-advised is a question that should, in my view, be open for debate.”

ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION: AT THE DEEPEST LEVEL, WHAT IS THE GOAL OF THIS PROPOSAL? If you can unravel the mystery behind this question, you will figure out why socialism necessarily leads to communism and why communism is immoral and anti-life: Bernie Sanders to Propose a Mandated 32-Hour Workweek.

In Flanders Fields
by John McCrae, May 1915

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Have a great week!!!
