As Heinlein so aptly and succinctly said,

"...Mighty little force is needed to control a man

Whose mind has been hoodwinked;

Contrariwise, no amount of force can control

A free man, a man whose mind is free.

No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything--

You can't conquer a free man;

The most you can do is kill him."

And killing him doesn't take away True Freedom,

For True Freedom lives forever in too many hearts to destroy.

Courage is the state of mind of the free

As air is to those that breathe air,

Though that does not mean

They're never scared.

But the perfect love of freedom

Casts out their fear,

And they soar to greater and greater

Heights of liberty,

Where fear cannot touch them

Nor waylay them from their pursuit

For more of that which is buried

Deep within their brave, free hearts.

Not just for themselves,

But all mankind they can encourage

To seek and not be satisfied

With anything less

Than true and complete freedom,

Especially freedom to believe

And speak of one's belief in liberty

Entirely free of government control.

Freedom is only the domain of the truly free

Who stand up for it without fear

Of the tyranny and oppression

That most government organization

Ultimately leads to without fail.

For instance, "American democracy",

The very nature of which led to complacency

And the mistaken belief that it couldn't do enough wrong

To justify standing up against its many injustices

As well as the great undermining of freedom it commits.

But apathy is the very opposite of liberty;

Yet the majority follow their country's dictates

With an appallingly blind devotion and false patriotism,

Supporting, defending and carrying out

Even their killing of innocent women and children,

All in the name of God and freedom,

When He and True Liberty have nothing to do with such evils

Except to meet out unremitting punishment

Of the doers of those sins in due time

To rid the Earth of the scourge of their existence.

Thank God for freedom and for His God-given liberty

To fulfill His calling and duty to rebel against

Any and all threats to True Freedom,

Including those committed by our own government

For the purpose of making us conform

And keeping us so conformed,

Subservient to their tyrannies,

Subjugated to their oppressions,

Submissive to their controls,

That abrogate the very principles for which we stand.
