A Government to be Feared

With each passing day of President Obama's second term he continues to consolidate power and undermine any notion of conventional democratic governing norms.

Not only did Obama make history as the first black president, he made history by winning a second term despite less than optimal polling numbers, divisive tactics, failed policies, an abysmal economy with high unemployment and gas prices, and breaches of promises to the American people. Today he continues taking his campaign to the next level, further demonizing the GOP in the hopes of winning back the House in 2014. Americans from both sides of the aisle must begin to pay attention to the incremental power shifts occurring in the federal government.

While many Americans feared an Obama unleashed, most were not anticipating the federal government arming itself with massive amounts of ammunition (reportedly 1.6 billion bullets) while at the same time threatening the Second Amendment rights of ordinary citizens. Americans were not contemplating that, in the face of the sequestration's implementation forcing the scaling down of our military despite imminent dangers and the simultaneous push for Global Zero, the Obama administration would purchase almost 3000 Mine Resistant Armor Protected Vehicles (MRAPs) for domestic use.

More and more people seeing the development of the police state. The larger it grows, the easier it is to see.

But can an effective opposition be formed?

Tools and tactics of TOTALITARIANS are on full display for anyone paying attention. Many see it as socialism with a smiley face.

But can an effective opposition be formed?

Representation not enablers.

--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Socialism...DEFUND it, DISMANTLE its programs, DEPOPULATE its enablers from the body politic, before it turns into totalitarianism (currently witnessing).

Watch them squeal. No more sequestration, por favor. Cut, cut, CUT! Death of socialism/totalitarianism by millions of cuts. Start with any of their projects, agencies, ngos, countries, syndicates, cartels, etc., etc. Scalpel please.

It's easy to...live - free - republic.

"Americans need to take notice of what is occurring under a man of questionable character, disdain for Constitutional limits on his power, a quest for transformational measures that have yet to be articulated and clearly defined, and a vitriolic reaction to those who do not abide by his rules. Now is not the time for apathy, it is time for heeding the lessons of history and speaking out to prevent future atrocities. America does not need a civilian national security force and it should be prevented from being assembled."

Bread and circuses while Ner0 does his dirty work...

Serious essays don’t belong in chat, IMHO. I was going to post this essay in the editorial sidebar of News/Activism.
