First they lie, exagerate, scare, mis-state, etc. their position to convert as many as possible to their side, so they have the army that will shout and shoot. Careful examination of their side will probably show they are socialists or communists, they want to tell you what to do and say.

    Unfortunately, people claiming to be friends of freedom do their share of shouting and shooting.

    While the point of the quote is well made, enemies of freedom prefer to shout, shoot, promote immorality and chaos, anger and violence, and anti-rights and unlawful behavior; as well as argue. By way of example: socialists (left to right / communists to fascists, etc.) argue the best way to eliminate freedom.

    The Ancient Quest for Domination, and the Roman Empire.
    Mr. William Inge from England, uk, being the melting pot it is, new absolutely where the line of opposition resides in the sand.

    As there are only 2 types of Religion,( religious practice) Threskeia religion, an officious parade, superficial, appointments in earthly leaderships of office.
    Threskos religion, the practice of true service to ones fellow neighbor, true piety in alms giving and care, unfeigned love.
    There are only Two types of "Debate"
    Ruwb "debate" in defence of that which is right, to defend God, with to plead, Riyb, the only valid case.
    Matstsah "debate" is defined a ( Contentious Quarrel, not given to Sound Reasoning.
    Faith and sound reasoning.
    " That autonomous faith which rest upon Experience and individual inspiration." William Inge.
    Christian theology with elements of Platonic philosophy promoting Individual liberty and freedom.
    He was a very outspoken critic of the Roman catholic church, steeped with Threskeia practice, and lased heavily with chains of servitude through slavery. The so-called democracy of yesterday promoting the socialism/communism of today. The movement can be easily seen with Putin's base in the election.
    Americans and lovers of Liberty are waking up to Reality where Truth resides defined. "Emeth" truth, " and wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times." a technical term meaning a "fixed position" or " Enduring Office, ( Established ).

    Subversion, by all means, is the metier of the loveless adversaries of Liberty.

    As no less a lightless leftist luminary than Mao expressed it:

    " Communism has nothing to do with love.
    Communism is an excellent hammer which we use to destroy our enemy."

    and

    I notice the enemies of freedom also rev up the auto engines a lot also.  We need a good public transit system put on rails and electrically driven, generated with solar, wind, and hydro-electric sources.
