If you want a recipe for disaster, take police officers hyped up on their own authority and the power of the badge, throw in a few court rulings suggesting that security takes precedence over individual rights, set it against a backdrop of endless wars and militarized law enforcement, and then add to the mix a populace distracted by entertainment, out of touch with the workings of their government, and more inclined to let a few sorry souls suffer injustice than to challenge the status quo.

Will Rogers said, “No man’s liberty or property is safe as long as Congress is in session.” The only way I’ll ever feel “safe” again is if YOU, American citizen, wake up to this travesty and help throw every single career politician out of office, regardless of party affiliation. The problem isn’t guns, or even their exorbitant spending or other destructive acts…it’s THEM! How do you like how your Masters have been running the country these past decades?

The latest round of rubbish flooding our in boxes is an ignorant rant claiming that the Dick Act of 1902 (which respects our Right to be armed) can’t be repealed because to do so would “violate bills of attainder and ex post facto laws”. Who dreams up this stuff? Does anyone check it out before they spread it around? Of course we have the God-given right to keep and bear arms, to self-defense, etc., etc.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wants to vastly expand its power. Last year, the agency paid nearly $700,000 to the National Academy of Sciences to draft the document “Sustainability and the U.S. EPA.” This manifesto rationalizes why the EPA has the right to regulate every business, community and ecosystem in the country.

It’s both funny and sad to read comments from Obama people, who are upset because their paychecks are less. No tax increase was meant for them, right? Maybe they should have read the fine print or listened when people tried to warn them of possibilities. But, oh no — the “warners” were just fear mongers that didn’t like Obama and were “just” saying all that stuff to make him look bad, it was claimed.

The sons of the pioneers wouldn’t sit still for any attempt to curtail limited government, personal freedom, or economic opportunity. No way! No how! Others might accept censorship, surveillance, and rigged elections, but not us, not Americans. We had fought wars to defend our independence, wars to defeat totalitarianism; we had even fought wars to spread freedom. No, we wouldn’t quietly allow homegrown tyrants to grasp the levers of power.
