Reader comments about this quote:

-- Allen, DC
The fight for freedom and the defense of liberty is a moral and just pursuit for all mankind. The occupying statist theocracy that now infests this land has all but extinguished that liberty which the founding fathers sought. Theocratic seminaries (government schools), the 4th branch of government (the industrial media complex) and all else as is associated to the occupying statist theocracy propagates despotism, tyranny, injustice, poverty, a caste system and war. -- Mike, Norwalk 1

It is the observation that our cause is the cause of humankind, but this is not the common occurrence, because the vast, vast, vast majority are looking through the eyes of the mentally deranged. -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
