Regardless of your willingness to worship Yeshua or not, you CAN do so here if you want. That is what matters. The ability of a free people to express their ideas is the point. . . not whether you misread what I wrote about being sent to Siberia. I am sure that if the Ukraine were still a communist country, they could find somewhere to send people that they did not agree with even if it were not in the Soviet Union any more.
You being willing to give up your essential liberty for a little bit of safety only makes you a good cow. . . or maybe good at following others into a boxcar or an oven. It can happen. Those who want to control the ones who they rule have a vested interest in making things "bearable" and not much beyond that.
Draw your own conclusions, but try to do so through fact. Reagan's convictions were developed at an early point in his career and he stuck to them. How about a quote from October 1964:
Quote:
You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream -- the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order -- or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. Regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would sacrifice freedom for security have embarked on this downward path. Plutarch warned, "The real destroyer of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits."

Thinking long term about what is truely important may help you to deal with your anger and stop being a child. My hope is that the free exchange of information and ideas can help to save you and many like you from your own anger, ignorance and yourself in general.
