Just the suggestion that it dishonors freedom to not join an all volunteer army is an affront to the very liberty you claim to revere. The draft was over in the time it would have applied in my life, and even offering that is a bow to your despicable statement.

Let's be clear: essential liberty, "unalienable" rights is not some semantic game. It is a principle. One TRT apparently believes only the Christian can arbitrate.

TRT is closer in spirit to the mindset that banished Roger Williams to the wilderness than he is to the fundamental, "essential" if you will, American spirit that animated Williams and led him to establish Rhode Island. For all your "is that the best you got," TRT, what you have is a vagabond eye that reads only what affirms your worldview, a doctrine in search of prooftexts.

Still better than having my opinion handed to me ala the liberal.

What is despicable is your criticizing the US military when you did not serve. Clear enough? Don't tell me I dishonor freedom when I fought to preserve it and all you're willing to risk is to run your mouth and use the go-to slanders of the left to make yourself feel better about your own slug trail.

But your failure to produce anything resembling clarity is the reason for my having made this drawn out, if one sided argument about essential Liberty. Oh you throw the verbiage around, but you can't make a credible argument because your understanding only goes as deep as the completely false talking points you parrot. But thanks for the opportunity to write about our American heritage, as it pertains to Franklin's concept of essential Liberty and the left's attempt to pervert his original intent to support their heresies.
