His Name is Kenneth Gladney

Her name was Neda. She wished for liberty. She was thousands of miles away and we ached because we couldn't do more.

His name is Kenneth Gladney. He may be close or he may be far. You can know him. You can think of him. You can carry a Gadsden flag in solidarity. I'm particularly moved by a photo about three-quarters of the way down the page. It's a man holding a sign that says "God gave us Liberty." Indeed He did. Everyone that thinks their rights (positive or negative, a discussion for another time) derive from the government of the moment is sadly, bereftly (that's not even a word!) mistaken.

You are endowed by Your Creator with UNALIENABLE RIGHTS, among these are LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT OF Happiness (Property).

It really ticks me off when people say our government gives our rights. Do these people have any understanding of the sacrifices others suffered so that their humanity could be respected and appreciated? Humans have always yearned for freedom and respect. This is our inherent god-given nature!

That is why it's so important to remember that our rights are not from man, but from God. Our founders knew this. It's what our country was founded upon. People who deny this are, well, in denial!

Thanks for the link. That is an amazing site. And yeah, where is Obama when THIS black man is unfairly attacked by *his own supporters*?

Ain't it? Has he said anything about this?

Child, you know that black man has got to be a brainwashed token stooge! White liberals love to tell conservative people of color (waves) that they know what's best for us, which also correlates perfectly with their exact political agenda (although I'm sure that's just a happy coincidence!!) And if we don't agree, we are mindless, brainwashed idiots with Stockholm syndrome, because they are the PARTY OF TOLERANCE that nevertheless behaves as though all people of color think alike.

Or something like that.

Glad to know not everyone has drunk the Kool-aid.
