The experiment is over. Freedom lost.
Over the last 100 years, we've watched a federal government that was once supposed to remain small and limited grow in to a huge behemoth of upper class citizens. They have steadily eroded the rights of those that created them in the name of public safety, and most of the schmucks in the lower caste of society (that would be us lowly civilians) have eaten it up and asked for more every step of the way.
Take the latest national tragedy, for instance. We've got millions of people screaming to place even more limits on our freedoms, namely speech and firearms, and it's all being insanely fueled by a cowardly central government intent on elevating themselves to an ultimately protected status, leaving us to their whims and fancies.
John Boehner started this rally with a statement that should be readily identifiable as a clear and present threat to the american populace that lethal force in any means will be used against us if we try to defend our freedom. "An attack on one who serves is an attack on all who serve." Even if that service is designed to reduce us to despotism.
There are already numerous 'laws' in the US Code that have created more valuable people who seem entitled to be treated with much more respect, as if they were born to be kings/queens. It's already a felony to commit murder in any state, but there's also a federal law that makes it a more serious crime to murder a federal official, that is 'deserving' of a more serious sentence. When did the framers determine that an employee of the federal government was worth more than the employer of the federal government?
Even as these laws are proposed and/or passed, we as a nation are deluged with propaganda and hype that WE THE PEOPLE are not to resort to violence in any way, shape, or form. We're told that only the government has the right to use lethal force in order to perform it's 'duty'. This has been part of the dumbing down of america. Despite our nations history of free men using violence to divorce itself from an oppressive monarchy and create a nation where freedom and liberty are the most important items to protect, people have been duped in to thinking the opposite.
They came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up.
It may as well be rewritten to apply to us as sheep.
