“The evil genius of darkness presided at its birth, it came forth under the veil of mystery, its true features being carefully concealed, and every deceptive art has been and is practicing to have this spurious brat received as the genuine offspring of heaven-born liberty. So fearful are its patrons that you should discern the imposition, that they have hurried on its adoption with the greatest precipitation. After so recent a triumph over British despots, after such torrents of blood and treasure have been spent, after involving ourselves in the distresses of an arduous war, and incurring such a debt for the express purpose of asserting the rights of humanity, it is truly astonishing that a set of men among ourselves should have the effrontery to attempt the destruction of our liberties. But in this enlightened age to hope to dupe the people by the arts they are practicing is still more extraordinary.”
— Samuel Bryan, ‘The Anti-Federalist Papers’
How familiar this is, and in so many ways, to what we face in these present times.
‘But in this enlightened age to hope to dupe the people by the arts they are practicing is still more extraordinary.”
Duped us they did but Truth will always prevail. Thanks for sharing this, galen.
And thank you, for introducing me to The anti-federalists, many years back. 🙂

Thanks Norm for the 357 almost looks real in the box!! If needed the real thing i can just go and grab it though… I leave the one in the box sitting out as a derrent… just like my Bill of Rights Flag!! thanks brother
Welcome brother, yes The Python .357 is a wonderful revolver, I owned one once in the 6″ barrel size, never should have sold it, now the real ones go for way too much bucks.
Aloha
Amen. Still have mine … but not able to find ammo supply yet.
Galen, This quote is to the core of the treason from the outset, thanks for the cite, nice…
