Free State Project

CHEVELLE LYRICS"Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)"Some will learn; many do. Cover up or spread it out. Turn around, had enough, Pick and choose or pass it on. Buying in, heading for Suffer now or suffer then. It's bad enough I want the fear... need the fear[Pre-Chorus] Cause he's alone (he has become) He's alone (he has become)[Chorus:] Well if they're making it, making it Then they're pushing it, pushing it And they're leading us along The hassle of all the screaming fits That panic makes remorseAfter all, what's the point? Course levitation is possible. If you're a fly; achieved and gone Theres time for this and so much more. It's typical - create a world A special place of my design To never cope or never care just use the key[Pre-Chorus] Cause he's alone (where have we gone) He's alone (where have we gone)[Chorus]Over and Over a slave Became Over and Over a slave Became Over and Over a slave Became Over and Over a slave Became ------------------------------Me...I live on the beach and make drinks (I'm a bartender). You can probably tell from my profile that that's not what I used to do.I spend most of my days at the gym or at the beach. I recently moved to Florida to "start over" and find peace. I think I've found it, and I hope to hang on to it for as long as I possibly can.I am an avid supporter of the Free State Project. If you don't know what the Free State Project is, go to freestateproject.org .I ran 272 Combat Mission in Iraq, supposedly "serving" my country, when in fact I believe I was hurting both my country and humanity. I am not a pacifist, and I am not a general "Peace Activist". I am however a staunch supporter of human rights and human dignity, and I believe in a persons right (and obligation) to defend their rights and dignity against oppression, invasion, and occupation.I believe that our own country is becoming sadly complacent while at the same time becoming recklessly aggressive by misdirecting offensive actions throughout the world in response to our own domestic and foreign policy failures.I also believe that we have allowed a very corrupt few to have an immoral level of authority over our lives and our resources.One of greatest examples of such immoral authority that exists in our society is the prevalent belief in "contract warfare". Our military is comprised of men and women who face prison and/or execution if they oppose involvement in the wars that they are told to take part in against their conscience and against their better judgment. It is for THIS reason, that I believe accountability lies with the person who puts on the boots, who has an obligation to oppose involvement in an illegal and unjust war.In this election we are faced with two candidates, basically. Obama, who wishes to ban the right of law abiding citizens to carry a firearm in defense of themselves and their community; and John McCain, who wants to continue to occupy the Country of Iraq, against the will of the people who live there. Obama chooses to not even address his positions on the 2nd Amendment (gun rights) on his website. A show of true cowardice in my opinion, which reflects a combination of embarrassment and fear of others turning against him because of his domestic policies. John McCain on the other hand plainly states that he supports the ability of law abiding citizens to protect themselves, their families, and their homes with firearms.It is for this reason, that I reject the standard "liberal, anti-war, anti-gun, 'peace'" movement, and say that I will NOT vote for Obama, because I will not let someone take away my right, obligation and ability to defend myself domestically, and that it is up to those in the military to object to participating in illegal wars (such as the one we have waged against the Iraqi people), instead of simply waiting and hoping that someone will stop telling them to do so.To the Revolution. To Peace. Psalm 120:6IF I CAN DO THIS, JUST IMAGINE WHAT "THEY" CAN DO...
