means at hand without fear of arrest, criminal prosecution, or lawsuit. The right to bear arms is central to maintaining true personal freedom.
That liberal politicians, theorists, and socialists are the greatest threat to freedom-loving Americans. Their misguided efforts have caused grave injustices in the fields of criminal law, education, and public welfare.
Therefore in respect to criminal law:
An effective criminal justice system should be guided by these basic tenets:
- Our courts must stop pampering criminals.
- The punishment must fit the crime.
- Justice must be fair but also be swift and, if necessary, harsh.
- There is no perfect society, only a fair one.
Therefore in respect to education:
Education is the key to solving problems in society and the lack of it is the root cause of America’s decline.
An effective system of education:
- Must stress hard discipline along with the arts, sciences, fine music, and basic skills in reading, writing, and mathematics.
- Must teach fairness and respect.
- Must teach morals, the dignity of labor, and the value of family.
Therefore in respect to welfare:
Welfare (we prefer workfare) is reserved only for the elderly, the infirm, and those who need a temporary helping hand. And the welfare system must also:
- Instill the concept that everyone must work if able and be forced to work if necessary.
- Instill the concept that there is no free lunch and that being productive in a free society is the only honorable path to take.
That racial prejudice and bigotry are intolerable in a free and vital society.
No one is worthy of respect simply because of the color of their skin.
Respect is earned by actions and by deeds, not by birthright.
There are only two types of people on earth, decent and indecent. Those who are decent will flourish, those who are indecent will perish.
No laws laid down by a body of government can make one person like another.
A free and just society must be protected at all costs even if it means shedding the blood of its citizens. The willingness of citizens to lay down their lives for the belief in freedom is a cornerstone of true democracy; without that willingness the structure of society will surely crumble and fall into the ashes of history.
Therefore:
Along with the inalienable right to bear arms, and the inalienable right to personal protection, a strong, skilled, and well-equipped military is essential to maintaining a free society.
A strong military eliminates the need for “allies,” allowing the society to focus on the needs of its citizens.
The business of citizens is not the business of the world unless the rights of citizens are infringed upon by outside forces.
The duty of those who live in a free society is clear. Personal freedom is not negotiable.
In conclusion:
We who support the tri-state philosophy and live by its code and its laws pledge to defend it by any means necessary. We pledge to work fairly and justly to build and maintain a society without fear and without intervention.
General Ben Raines
Jim nodded. Yes, he was lucky to have met Ben Raines. A great man had written these things. Ben Raines was a great man.
Not thirty seconds after he finished reading the manifesto, Bev came out of the bathroom.
“I feel a hundred percent better,” she said. “Now it’s your turn.”
Jim looked at her for a moment. She was really a beautiful woman, with her large dark eyes even more striking against the newly washed paleness of her skin, and for a moment Jim thought that she had put on lipstick. But she hadn’t. Her lips were naturally that red. She had on her new clothing, and now she smelled good. Real good.
Jim told her about finding the dead man and what he had written in the journal.
“That’s what my father suspected, too,” Bev said.
“Could be,” Jim replied, “but we’ll probably never know for sure. It certainly makes more sense than things from outer space . . .” His voice trailed
