How Strong Will The Lisbon Citizens Get When The Odds Are Against Them?

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke) The quote has been paraphrased over time for the common people to be able to accept. It originated from these writings of Sir Edmund Burke.

"It is not enough in a situation of trust in the commonwealth, that a man means well to his country; it is not enough that in his single person he never did an evil act, but always voted according to his conscience, and even harangued against every design which he apprehended to be prejudicial to the interests of his country. This innoxious and ineffectual character, that seems formed upon a plan of apology and disculpation, falls miserably short of the mark of public duty. That duty demands and requires that what is right should not only be made known, but made prevalent; that what is evil should not only be detected, but defeated. When the public man omits to put himself in a situation of doing his duty with effect it is an omission that frustrates the purposes of his trust almost as much as if he had formally betrayed it. It is surely no very rational account of a man's life, that he has always acted right but has taken special care to act in such a manner that his endeavours could not possibly be productive of any consequence."
Does this not describe your Town Council's Actions?

Americans Get Stronger When The Odds Are Against Them!






FROM THE PARALLAX PROPHECIES

by Ron Ewart, ©2011
(Oct. 10, 2011) — That’s right, you weren’t paying attention and the evil ones slipped in the back door and took over.  But is that any reason to throw your hands in the air and say, “….. what’s the use, we’re licked”?  Did all the men and women in uniform who made the ultimate sacrifice, give up their lives in all the wars since the Revolution so that contemporary Americans who found the road a little tough, would throw in the towel?  Tell that to the over 100,000 World War II American service men that are buried in Europe, and tell that to the some 20,000 or more that are buried in the Philippines or on the other Islands in the Pacific!  Tell that to the 600,000+ men and women who gave their lives to hold the Union together in the Civil War!  Tell that to the tens of thousands of men and women that have sacrificed their lives, their limbs and their minds in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan!  Tell that to the man or woman who came home from Iraq or Afghanistan and must now walk without legs, but he or she rises up and does it anyway!  Now that is real courage. 
America survived one of its greatest internal conflicts where a nation divided decided it must go to war to settle the differences that raged between the two sides over states rights and slavery, in one of the bloodiest battles in its 235-year history, where brother fought brother and father fought son.
We survived the attack on Pearl Harbor and took on two evil nations in a World War with the might and courage of a brave and powerful nation.  In that conflict millions of non-Americans were saved from brutal dictators and perpetual enslavement, by the extreme sacrifice of exceptional and courageous Americans who gave their all on the front lines of Hell and in the factories at home.  The sleeping giant awoke and has vanquished those that interrupted his quiet, peaceful slumber.  The sleeping giant grows restless once again, but now with a domestic enemy.
We have come through Korea and Vietnam with significant scars, both to our soldiers in uniform and to our pride as a nation, from wars that weren’t fought to win, or should have never been fought in the first place.
