Stanley tells America, “Wake up, Dammit!”

(DENVER CO) On September 18 Rick Stanley, Libertarian candidate for the U.S. Senate from Colorado, released the following statement:

"America must prepare for the darkest of times. We will be under attack from outside aggression, as well as the tyranny of an oppressive government bent on brainwashing the people about the sins of our past foreign policy.

"The Libertarians have been sounding the warning bell of Liberty regarding the failed foreign policy of interfering in the affairs of other countries for more than 30 years. Most of these Libertarians are intellectuals with a desire to be left alone, secure in their freedom. Being the introverts that most of them are, the warning bell was not as loud as it should have been. From this day forward I hope to invoke the patriotism in the ranks of Libertarians everywhere — to shout out the injustices when they occur and to prevent the mistakes of the past from becoming the ongoing mistakes of an insecure future. I invite America to join us.

"The government of the United States must destroy all foreign aggression in the form of terrorism immediately, without killing women and children. It must be done swiftly and without giving quarter to the enemies of America. They must be destroyed, and their evil in the name of religion must be crushed and stamped out.

"The United States of America knows full well the twin evils of state-sponsored religion, and governments that bow down to the will of any religion. The history of the world is tainted by the stain of blood spilled in the name of all religions. That is why the American Constitution prohibits either case from happening.

"Unfortunately, the foreign policies of 100 years of America’s state-sponsored terrorism against other countries, promoted by an unconstitutional government bent on creating a New World Order which they would sit at the head of, has soiled the spirit from which our country derives its strength. That spirit is called Liberty.

"Do not allow our country to be destroyed by this government in the days to come. 66% of Americans say our civil liberties and rights should be curtailed to fight the terrorist threat from this religious zealotry called Islam. If America falls for this garbage, then we are sheep and deserve to be led to the slaughter we will surely see in the future. The patriots of America fought long and hard to preserve the Declaration of Independence from 1776, which allowed our country to be born in freedom. This freedom was to be preserved by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

"If we give away any of those freedoms to fight these terrorists we will surely fail, victims of our desire to be safe. Are Americans so complacent and comfortable that we would allow the heritage of our forefathers to continue to erode into oblivion? Wake up, Dammit!

"The tyranny from within is just as great as the danger of foreign aggression. America’s shores have been compromised because the American people have allowed it. We must protect America from outside threats; and we must also protect America from the tyranny of our own government.

"I am calling for all Americans to recognize the signals screaming at you from your fellow Americans, and from the outside world. These terrorist acts are just the tip of the iceberg. We face a committed and imposing enemy the likes of whom we have never seen before. From within as well as from outside.

"The Libertarian Party and I have called for open borders. Open borders only work when you don’t have enemies. We face a very inspired and committed enemy. We have the right to close our borders to new immigration for a National Emergency. That condition exists right now. I call for the immediate closure of our borders to new immigration with a one year expiration. If we have eradicated our enemies by then, we can open our borders up again. Our country must remain secure during this crisis!

"I’m calling on our current terrorist U.S. government to cease and desist all its meddling in the affairs of other countries with one exception: the eradication of any and all terrorist threats and the defeat of the countries that are aiding, abetting, and harboring those groups. Once this has been accomplished America can begin to mend its own terrorist ways, beg the world’s forgiveness, and then pursue a policy of world harmony. Then, perhaps, we can really prove that a free society is a good example for the world to follow. Our own arrogant self-assurance that 'God is on our side' is no better than Islam saying God is on their side. For the second time: Wake up, Dammit!

"We must learn from the past and admit our mistakes. Yes, we will go forward and protect ourselves and destroy this enemy. But before we do this, America, we must prepare ourselves for a long and terrible war. Do not underestimate our enemy. A religious, fanatical and zealous enemy has declared a holy war on America. They are the most terrible foe we will ever face. Prepare for huge casualties and the most terrible war in human history. Pray that this war is not the oblivion that was foretold in the Book of Revelation. The last chapter of the Bible.

"Wake up, dammit – and understand what we have done, and what we face. During this holy war we face, it is time for all Americans to join the Second American Revolution to eradicate the government that has stolen our country. Over the next 3 voting cycles of 2002, 2004, and 2006 we must throw out the Democrats and Republicans who are responsible for this crisis. We must do this with ballots, not bullets. Libertarian citizen legislators in Washington, DC, are the answer to our internal crisis. Professional politicians dominated by an aristocratic lawyer class have never been the answer to the problems of America. Not in the 100 years of the past, and certainly not in the uncertain future we face as we struggle to preserve the legacy of the patriots who have shed their blood to preserve this country for 225 years."

"I am asking every American to go to our web site at http://www.stanley2002.org and read about our Senate campaign. This is a grassroots campaign that will start a snowflake rolling across America that will turn into an avalanche of Liberty. Join us! Join America! Take our country back. You all know the problems. You may not know the causes or some of the answers. Copy this release and send it by e-mail to everyone you know. Copy it and fax it to everyone you know. Make copies and distribute it to every windshield, home and individual until America understands what we face. This crisis must be met and overcome. Let us hope that God blesses America. Let’s not sit back and wait to find out. Get out of your comfort zone, America, and take the fight to both our internal and external enemies! We have the right cause: Liberty.

"Remember – copy and pass on to everyone!"
