Maryland, My Maryland.

The despot's heel is on thy shore,

Maryland!

His torch is at thy temple door,

Maryland!

Avenge the patriotic gore

That flecked the streets of Baltimore,

And be the battle queen of yore,

Maryland! My Maryland!

George Washington considered the Marylanders to be the best outfit in the Continental Army. Sad that Maryland has become nearly as commie as New Jersey, Massachusetts, New York and Connecticut. Just goes to show the damage left-wingers can do to once proud regions of the country. Scum!; April 4, 2013 at 1:55 PM

More sorry-ass-shit from New York. New York certainly is a progressive state - progressively more absurd as time goes on.
I would honest to God rather pass on to meet my maker than live anywhere in the Northeast US. Or West Coast.; April 4, 2013 at 3:47 PM

Terp said...: Interesting that Swift used the word "Scum" to describe those Northern States. Same words were used in 1861, when troops were moved through Maryland with the intent of invading Virginia...

Maryland!
The Old Line bugle, fife, and drum,
Maryland!
She is not dead, nor deaf, nor dumb-
Huzza! She spurns the Northern scum!
She breathes! She burns! She'll come! She'll come!
Maryland! My Maryland!

And some even more sorry-ass-shit from North Carolina. What the hell has gotten into the water folks?; April 4, 2013 at 11:11 PM

You know the Northeast is losing population? Guess where it's moving....; April 5, 2013 at 2:01 AM
Nubbin-Finger Jake Rodell said...: SWIFT at 11:55 AM, believe me being "nearly" as commie as the other Marxists states is no relief for the citizens of Maryland. Commie is Commie. Is there really any 'better' degree of Marxism under which we should agree to live?

Anon at 5:36 PM, Maryland does not have a State Constitutional 2nd Amend. I am sure the founders could not foresee that in only 200 years that State would fall so far asunder.

I 'was' from Maryland. I still have friends & family economically 'trapped' behind the enemy lines. Some are fleeing to nearby Penn & WV to escape the Stasi while others plan disobedience. Now, I call North Idaho my home. I left 2 years ago as I know that when (not if) Baltimore explodes, my former town of Westminster will be in the debris field as the black death spreads from its .gov housing projects.; April 6, 2013 at 10:56 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
