“I glory in publicly avowing my eternal enmity to tyranny.”
-John Hancock
To declare “eternal enmity” against the British was not just tough talk – it was treason punishable by death. Yet, like so many of the Old Revolutionaries, Hancock embraced it because he understood that liberty could not survive if tyranny went unchallenged.
The British insisted on their own unlimited supremacy – “in all cases whatsoever” – taxation at will, standing armies to enforce their decrees – and gun control schemes to keep the people obedient and on their knees.
Hancock’s answer was defiance, not negotiation. He gloried in his opposition because anything less would have meant surrender.
That same conflict repeats today. The former “federal” government in Washington DC claims the power to dictate every detail of life: to regulate through unelected agencies, to spend us all into oblivion, to watch every communication, to decide which rights are “permitted” and which are denied.
Power without limits is still tyranny, no matter how it is dressed up or justified.
TAC exists to stand where Hancock stood – open defiance of tyranny. Not to manage or excuse it. Not to beg for reforms, or hope for someone to fix things for us. But to stand openly against every unconstitutional act.
But we can’t do it alone. “Eternal enmity” today means action – and that action needs your support.

Thomas Paine nailed it in one timeless line:
“The strength and powers of despotism consists wholly in the fear of resisting it.”
That’s the whole game. Tyrants count on your fear. They survive and thrive only when people bow their heads and hope for mercy. The moment people stand up – the moment they refuse to comply with arbitrary power – the founders proved it: the entire structure of tyranny begins to crack.
Nearly 250 years later, the lesson is the same. Government power expands until it is resisted.
Freedom exists only when people use it – whether the government likes it, or not.
