The Hayseed Rebellion

"The good news is that we 'hayseeds' -- that is, those of us who are not part of the rootless, cosmopolitan elite -- have endured so many accusations of "racism" that we're pretty much immune now.

They, therefore, instituted your Senate."
--Alexander Hamilton, speech to the New York Ratifying Convention, 1788

A Patriot’s Claim

I am an individual.

You have an agenda to nudge and control the collective.
You seek obedience and submission to your authority.

I am an individual.
I have a Divine purpose to serve and protect.
I have faith in the pathway I have been placed on.
I demonstrate citizenship through my actions, not words.

You are a collective.
You wish to be served as the divine authority.
You have faith in your authority.
You seek slaves to consume by perverse words.

I am an individual.
I seek freedom from oppression and tyranny.
I will never submit to unjust human rulers.
I will defend freedom with life and limb.

You are a collective.
You yearn to oppress and terrorize.

My names are written as heroes, liberators’, men of honor, and patriots.

Your names are those of tyrants, dictators, and despots.

Our cry is ‘Sic semper evello mortem Tyrannis (Thus always death comes to tyrants)

You have no cry.

Our honor is ‘Nostrum Vitas Nam Libertas’ (Our lives for Liberty)

You know no honor.
