What am I doing here?
It never hurts to review. So who is B.W. Richardson and why I am I writing this Montag blog?
Actually, who I am is irrelevant. I'm a writer with a job in the media industry. Why I'm writing this is much more interesting.
The purpose is to encourage people to live and think independently. Refuse to be afraid to be yourself. Refuse to be afraid to express yourself. Refuse to be afraid of government and any other authority that portrays itself as a way out of the scary stuff. That which they want you to fear is not as scary as the compromises to your Self that will happen if you turn responsibility for your safety and security over to someone else. Those compromises inevitability make you less free.
By the way, you should also refuse to be afraid of anything I say. I'm not trying to scare you; I'm just trying to make you aware of the fear mongers and fear-mongering, which is often done by well-meaning people. Fear is an emotion that short-circuits reason. Refuse to be afraid.
My purpose here is to emphasize the good news behind the bad news concerning the loss of our civil liberties. It's contained in the words of the theme song of the television show Firefly, which asserts forcefully, "Take my love, take my land, Take me where I cannot stand; I don't care, I'm still free: You can't take the sky from me." You can't be made a slave without your consent: "Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." My goal is to encourage people to be free despite the ongoing efforts to enslave us and further empower authority. Refuse to be afraid.

The Left’s FEAR MONGERING exposed
The latest bombshell to hit the radical left cabal:
Weather Channel Founder:
Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2007/11/07/weather-channel-founder-global-warming-greatest-scam-history
Radical liberal loons the kind of Bill Maher and others, in their usual devious conduct of trying to spin on the real threat of the western society, like (or shall I say liked?) to use ‘global warming’, as the ‘real threat’, not ISLAMO - FASCISM. My advice to the militant left from Rosie O’Donnell to the backward “MoveOn” & other left-behind “progressive” fanatics, hurry up, “find” some “other” threat before you are left out to dry by the RIGHT TRUTH.
That very hypocritical radical left that likes to blame the right for being “fear mongers”, now, Who’s the real fear mongering block, and on EMPTY false fake “fears”, How dare they???
See the Forbes’ poll http://blogs.forbes.com/digitalrules/2007/06/islamic_terrori.html Islamic Terrorism Or Global Warming? Which is the greater threat to civilization?
That was before the exploding article, guess now what’s left on the table?
The real threat, of the religion of “peace” that is on a ca,piagn of ‘convert or die!’ and a global repressive Islamic Caliphate by force.

Sometimes I fear we have become a nation of half-wits, people with the wit to recognize only that fear mongering done by the "opposite" side of the political aisle but unable to recognize the identical tactics utilized by "their" side. "Your" side is a bunch of fear mongers; "my" side is afraid for legitimate reasons.
Rather than delete the half-witted comment left by "anonymous," I leave it for educational purposes.
Freedom comes when you refuse to be afraid.
