So, Here We Are At "Resolution Day"... A semi-annual "wake-up" call for today's real American men and women (along with the celebration of some of those good folks). You may have seen this before, but no matter. Read it again. It's that important. RESOLUTION DAY. That is, "NO MORE PARALYSIS Day" "NO MORE DENIAL Day" "NO MORE, "I DON'T DARE..." Day" "NO MORE, "THE BAD MEN WILL NOTICE ME SO I'D BETTER NOT!" Day" "NO MORE, "I'LL WAIT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO GO FIRST..." Day" In short, here we are at, "GET OFF YOUR ASS Day" "GET LOUD AND PROUD AND UN-COWED Day" I'm talking about, "DON'T STOP 'TIL YOU'VE GOT LIBERTY AND THE RULE OF LAW Day" "FACE THE FACTS Day" "NO TIME TO RELAX Day"... MORE THAN ANYTHING, here we are at "PUT ASIDE DELUSIONS Day" That's what the original "Resolution day" was all about. It was the day the American colonists finally acknowledged that the people they had been entreating to respect their rights actually didn't want them to have their rights. It was the day the American colonists finally acknowledged that the government operatives they had been petitioning and politicking and lobbying and arguing with weren't misled or mistaken or suffering from misunderstanding, needing only to have things explained a bit better, or argued a bit more authoritatively. Instead, as the colonists realized and finally admitted by way of the Declaration of Independence, those operatives were their competitors. Those operatives were the colonists' opponents. Efforts to persuade them were pointless-- they admitted to no limits on their power and had no interest in curbing its abuse, which was being practiced for their benefit.
