Hello, Glenn. As another career military man I too have been around-the-world three or four times.<\/p>\n
I agree with Zman that what we call human rights are an invention as we have no natural, unalienable \u201crights\u201d. What we call rights are privileges and will last no longer than we can\/will defend them. Our 1st and 2nd Amemdment \u201crights\u201d are currently under attack. We either defend them or lose them.<\/p>\n
Uncontrolled immigration is another tool to dilute our will to defend our Constitutional privileges. Players such as Soros, Gates, Buffet and others are spending big money on the gamble that ruining our Constitutional Republic will make them trillionaires.<\/p>\n
Having seen the world from the vantage of its underbelly (counterintelligence) I, too realize how exceptional America truly is. I agree that if America falls, there will be nobody to come to our aid. We-Are-It. The alpha and the omega. The concept of \u201chuman rights\u201d will go by the wayside and if we\u2019re lucky, it will leave a footnote in history. Likely not. The UK and Canada, especially Canada, have gone quite a ways down the fascist road. Trudeau fancies himself a political Sim\u00f3n Bolivar. In the UK you can\u2019t even carry a pocket knife without risking felony, yet there are no-go zones in Birmingham for non-Muslims. And Canada and the UK are among the more civilized places.<\/p>\n
As far as \u201chuman rights\u201d go, once America falls we\u2019ll be right back to 1600.<\/p>\n
As for personal liberty, yes, that too depends on our defense of our Constitutional priviliges. I make distinction between calling them rights or priviliges in the fact that they can disappear so quickly without our jealously defending them, even from our own government. Government is all about control. Our Constitution says that We, the People rule, not the government. Both government and most of the public seem to have forgotten that.<\/p>\n
Canada made sure to invade the personal and financial liberties of the truckers when they protested. Before Brexit, the British authorities could and would harass and try to intimidate people who supported a legal UK political party, UKIP. They even frightened and abused the children to keep parents in line.<\/p>\n
My personal liberty depends somewhat on my support of the supremacy of the People over government. Of my designated privilege to protect myself and my family from harm without asking government\u2019s permission. I take control of my liberty. If I find the laws tolerable, I obey them. If not, I ignore them. I take full responsibility for my actions in either case. My personal liberty lies within myself, not as a fiat of outside authority.<\/p>\n
Good to read another career GI. Hope to read more of your opinions soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
