We were warned!

Our genius Founding Fathers warned us about we are heading in this nation. Ben Franklin said; History affords us many instances of the ruin of states, by the prosecution of measures ill suited to the temper and genius of their people. The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy... These measures never fail to create great and violent jealousies and animosities between the people favored and the people oppressed; whence a total separation of affections, interests, political obligations, and all manner of connections, by which the whole state is weakened.

So look where we are now. Our government has done it's best to separate us based upon race and economics. Just look at our current political climate, not to say that this is unique to our time, this has been going on for decades, but, in this time with so much is at stake, it is definitely at the forefront of society. If one is to speak out against chairman maobama's marxist policies you are labeled a racist. If one is to speak out against any social programs that give tax money to those whom don't pay any taxes, the dividers say you hate the poor. I don't hate the poor nor am I a racist. I am an equal opportunity offender! I hate everyone whom believes that the tax payer should have to pay for their poor decisions, I hate everyone whom believes the government should take care of them, I hate everyone whom refuses to understand the tyranny the government has been marching toward for decades, I hate everyone whom refuses to educate themselves before voting, I hate everyone whom thinks they have the right to legislate morality, I hate everyone whom uses race or gender to get ahead, I hate everyone whom thinks attaining the American dream should be easy, I hate everyone whom thinks criminals have more rights than their victims, I hate everyone whom thinks criminal immigrants are just here to do jobs Americans don't want to do, I hate everyone whom believes that our Constitution is a living document and should change with the times. I could go on but I think you get the point, so I guess I'm just a bigoted, sexist hate monger, well guess what? I don't care what ANYONE thinks about me because I am secure in my convictions and I know I am right.

Thomas Paine said this;
A nation under a well regulated government, should permit none to remain uninstructed. It is monarchical and aristocratical government only that requires ignorance for its support.

And John Adams said;
Children should be educated and instructed in the principles of freedom. Not only has our government allowed our citizens to be uninstructed (educated for the morons out there) but the government has fostered ignorance. Revisionist text books, revisionist lesson plans, placing more emphasis on a child's feelings than that same child actually learning anything, you know a red mark on an assignment is just so degrading to that poor little child, he really tried his best so we will acknowledge that instead of making sure the correct answer is given. Our education system has refused to teach how important our freedom is and our Founding Father's basic principles warning against the tyranny that has been perpetrated upon us. This type of insanity has worked to destroy our nation from within, we are but mere moments from the collapse of the best system of government ever tried.

James Madison said;
There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. Our Founding Father's recognized the fallicies of man, and warned of such as this quote points out,

Thomas Jefferson said;
At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the constitution, and working its change by construction, before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance. In truth, man is not made to be trusted for life, if secured against all liability to account.

So how do we proceed as a nation? Our government has been out of control for decades. Only now that an administration is in power that has accelerated the pace of tyranny have citizens started to speak out. I only fear it is too late to effectively change course we have allowed ourselves to be subject to by civil methods. Our two party political system is broken, the two parties seem to be equal parts of one larger, more insidious power structure bent on destroying our free nation for their own monetary and political gains. I believe those in power are drunk with it and see themselves as rulers, not as elected representatives of the citizens that elected them. Our individual States have the power to stop the federal government from seizing our nation but as yet have not been willing to exercise the Rights guaranteed by The Constitution since Lincoln put down the Southern States rebellion during the Civil War. I must digress here, Mr. Lincoln is looked up to by many as the man whom held the Union together and ended slavery. I see it a little differently. Yes Mr. Lincoln DID end slavery, however, in the process he also violated the 10th Amendment Rights guaranteed by The Constitution that allowed for the Southern States to do exactly what they tried to do. You see, the Federal Government was NEVER supposed to have this much power. Read the Constitution, read the writings of our Founding Fathers, the States were SUPPOSED to have the ability to rule themselves without Federal intrusion. But, as our Founding Fathers warned, an ignorant citizenry will succumb to tyranny without even knowing they did it until it is too late to reverse peacefully. There are some States that are starting to discuss invoking 10th Amendment protections via pending legislation but it remains to be seen if that legislation can get a foot hold in an era where so many States are dependent upon the Federal Government for funding. I am hopeful that our citizenry will stand against tyranny at the ballot box, otherwise I fear we will have to resort to the ammo box to protect ourseves and our nation from an out of control and abusively intrusive government and that will not end well for anyone involved for I AM WILLING TO DEFEND MY RIGHTS GUARANTEED BY THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO THE DEATH, ARE YOU WILLING TO DIE TRYING TO TAKE THEM?!
