Roshni B.. (For justice and dignity)     16 August 2011

What india's independence means for we indians....

"Power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues and freebooters.


All Indian leaders will be of low calibre & men of straw. They will have sweet tongues

 

and silly hearts



They will fight among themselves for power and will be lost in political squabbles"


- Winston Churchill

While giving independence to India  Chechrill had said " Scroundals will rule India"  It is true now.

Churchil new very well what kind of people most Indians are and above all they are spineless, scared and shy of arms. What else can befall again on such people except chains of slavery of being ruled by scoundrels?

“Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have, in general, been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.” – James Madison, Federalist No. 10, November 23, 1787


“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States.” – Noah Webster, An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, 1787


“The instrument by which it [government] must act are either the AUTHORITY of the laws or FORCE. If the first be destroyed, the last must be substituted; and where this becomes the ordinary instrument of government there is an end to liberty!” –Alexander Hamilton, Tully, No. 3, August 28, 1794


“It is sufficiently obvious, that persons and property are the two great subjects on which Governments are to act; and that the rights of persons, and the rights of property, are the objects, for the protection of which Government was instituted. These rights cannot well be separated.” – James Madison, Speech at the Virginia Convention, December 2, 1829


“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclination, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” – John Adams

“If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave.” – John Adams, Rights of the Colonists, 1772


“The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. If `Thou shalt not covet’ and `Thou shalt not steal’ were not commandments of Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society before it can be civilized or made free.” – John Adams, A Defense of the American Constitutions, 1787


“Equal laws protecting equal rights — the best guarantee of loyalty and love of country.” – James Madison, letter to Jacob de la Motta, August 1820


“The only foundation of a free Constitution, is pure Virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People, in a great Measure, than they have it now.

“Government, in my humble opinion, should be formed to secure and to enlarge the exercise of the natural rights of its members; and every government, which has not this in view, as its principal object, is not a government of the legitimate kind.” –James Wilson, Lectures on Law, 1791


“Upon this point all speculative politicians will agree, that the happiness of society is the end of government, as all divines and moral philosophers will agree that the happiness of the individual is the end of man. From this principle it will follow that the form of government which communicates ease, comfort, security, or, in one word, happiness, to the greatest numbers of persons, and in the greatest degree, is the best.”– John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776


“Democracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy, such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man’s life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable cruelty of one or a very few.” – John Adams, An Essay on Man’s Lust for Power, August 29, 1763


“History affords us many instances of the ruin of states, by the prosecution of measures ill suited to the temper and genius of their people. The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy…These measures never fail to create great and violent jealousies and animosities between the people favored and the people oppressed; whence a total separation of affections, interests, political obligations, and all manner of connections, by which the whole state is weakened.” – Benjamin Franklin, Emblematical Representations, Circa 1774


“Where liberty dwells, there is my country.” – Benjamin Franklin (attributed), letter to Benjamin Vaughn, March 14, 1783


“A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.” – James Madison, letter to W.T.Barry, August 4, 1822


“Foreign influence is truly the Grecian horse to a republic. We cannot be too careful to exclude its influence.” – Alexander Hamilton, Pacificus, No. 6, July 17, 1793

“A just security to property is not afforded by that government, under which unequal taxes oppress one species of property and reward another species.” -James Madison, Essay on Property, March 29, 1792


“The fundamental source of all your errors, sophisms and false reasonings is a total ignorance of the natural rights of mankind. Were you once to become acquainted with these, you could never entertain a thought, that all men are not, by nature, entitled to a parity of privileges. You would be convinced, that natural liberty is a gift of the beneficent Creator to the whole human race, and that civil liberty is founded in that; and cannot be wrested from any people, without the most manifest violation of justice.” – Alexander Hamilton, The Farmer Refuted, February 23, 1775


“The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for, among old parchments, or musty records. They are written, as with a sun beam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.” – Alexander Hamilton, The Farmer Refuted, February 23, 1775


“The State governments possess inherent advantages, which will ever give them an influence and ascendancy over the National Government, and will for ever preclude the possibility of federal encroachments. That their liberties, indeed, can be subverted by the federal head, is repugnant to every rule of political calculation.” – Alexander Hamilton, speech to the New York Ratifying Convention, June 17, 1788


“There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.”– James Madison, speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 16, 1788


“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana (1863-1952), U.S. philosopher, poet. Life of Reason, “Reason in Common Sense,” ch. 12 (1905-6)

"Only an armed people can be truly free. Only an unarmed people can ever be enslaved."- Aristotle


This is the first condition of freedom. This is the basic difference between freedom and slavery, everything else is just a delusion and illusion to fool the people:

 


The possession of arms by the people is the ultimate warrant that government governs only with the consent of the governed.-- Jeff Snyder


"That rifle on the wall of the labourer's cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there." — George Orwell



Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner. Freedom under a constitutional republic is a well armed lamb contesting the vote. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote. And among those rights which also  allows all other rights to exist at all is the fundamental Right to Keep and Bear Arms.


If the Government doesn’t trust us with our guns, why should we trust them with theirs?

 

Those who truly love freedom, fight for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms that has been guaranteed to us under Articles 19 and 21 of Constitution of India: https://www.lawyersclubindia.com/forum/RKBA-guaranteed-under-Articles-19-and-21-of-Constitution-36011.asp

We are a Nation of Slave Dynasty, with the covering skin of Democracy: but  the whole world knows who we are.

Roshni B.. (For justice and dignity)     22 June 2012

democracy is ideally suited for a country of matured citizens who do their duties sincerely and are also aware of their rights.therefore it works well in developed countries.

 

but indians only talk of rights and rights alone.they dont want to do their duties.

therefore democracy has failed in india.we need another kind of governance which deals with people with an iron hand
