In the hit 2012 movie The Avengers<\/em>, the Norse trickster god Loki threatens a crowd and makes them kneel before him as he delivers a speech about what he thinks of the human race.<\/p>\n \u201cIs this not your natural state? It’s the unspoken truth of humanity, that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life’s joy in a mad scramble for power, for identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n As I was watching the movie, I was properly outraged at the character’s assertions. \u00a0I remember thinking that he was going to be surprised at the fighting spirit inherent in the human race.<\/p>\n But as I sit here tonight watching the Democrats across the country systematically stripping away the self-defense rights of their ‘subjects’ one state at a time and being praised by their sycophants for doing so, I am made to wonder … perhaps Loki was right after all … at least where some humans are concerned.<\/p>\n There seems to be a subset of humanity that does indeed crave subjugation, even in America. \u00a0We call them anti-gunners. \u00a0They cower and whimper in fear whenever faced with the responsibility and cost of freedom. \u00a0Instead they beg for the safety of a prison and the ‘protective’ hand of an all powerful government.<\/p>\n So how do we deal with a nation divided between those who would be free and those who would rather seek the safety of servitude?<\/p>\n In truth, I honestly do not know. \u00a0I just do not know.<\/p>\n I can only continue to believe that the spirit of individual freedom, responsibility, and exceptionalism has not perished from the face of the Earth.<\/p>\n I will leave you with the words of Samuel Adams, spoken over two hundred years ago and yet still so very apt …\u00a0\u201cIf ye love wealth better than liberty,\u00a0the tranquility of servitude\u00a0better than the animating contest of freedom,\u00a0go home from us in peace.\u00a0We ask not your counsels or your arms.\u00a0Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.\u00a0May your chains set lightly upon you,\u00a0and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the hit 2012 movie The Avengers, the Norse trickster god Loki threatens a crowd and makes them kneel before him as he delivers a speech about what he thinks of the human race. \u201cIs this not your natural state? … Continue reading
