Always remember... We are engaged in a battle for the continuation of
our capitalist, free-market economic model; our way of life; and our
liberty. The enemy is anticapitalist, believes in big government, embraces
collectivist ideologies, and has, over the past century, infiltrated every
level of our government and most of the banking industry. They don’t care about patriotism, although they may sport the red, white, and
blue and the stars and stripes on their bumper stickers. They don’t
care about personal responsibility or civic duty. They don’t share your
sense of honor. All they care about is power and control over your
money and every aspect of your life.
