It is madness to think a government founded on free principles can be supported through tyrannic means.
Yet through their actions, that is what the vast majority of Americans think. The foundation of tyranny in all countries is essentially the same; there is too much force in the hands of one man, and in America 2014, that man is Obama.
America is in a decades long transition, from republican freedom to tyranny. After the midterm election, the outcome of which President Obama declared he would ignore, he opened our nation to Mexicans and Muslims alike. Congress, the lawmaking body of our once republic, was not consulted.
President Obama failed to serve the first purpose of government, to protect the nation from invasion. He not only turned a blind eye to recent, massive illegal immigration, he dedicated unappropriated taxpayer funds to facilitate the invasion. Presidents serve their country; tyrants serve themselves.
These are not activities of a government that respects its citizens.
Tyranny isn’t government. It is unrestrained force, a state of war, a precarious, unstable situation in which the one or few are masters of the many. While we increasingly fear the administration, rest assured it fears us. If you own a gun, you are suspect. Witness their surveillance of emails, texts, medical records, bank statements, credit cards, IRS abuse of political opponents, and perhaps worst of all, their censorship of major media criticism. The words “islam” and “terrorist” cannot appear in the same sentence.
The damage done by earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires are miniscule compared to the damage done by high officials whose purpose isn’t to secure our safety and promote prosperity, but rather, to plunder its productive citizens and reward their sycophants.
Elections are of the utmost importance in republics, where citizens temporarily raise fellow citizens to position of high trust. In despotic regimes, elections serve opposite ends, for they serve to condone criminality.
In former republican times, Americans went about their lives hardly thinking of government. There was mutual respect between the governors and governed, for they and we were one and the same. Today, both affection and government are gone. In their places is tyranny.
back then we didn’t have a huge unaccountable bureaucrat layer of govt, and we didn’t have massive amounts of administative law.
get rid of the alphabet agencies. it’s a free pass to congress who like not being blamed for it, and gives too much power to the executive. plus it’s a huge effing burden on all of society.

Rules for Changing a Limited Republican Government into an Unlimited
Hereditary One 1784-1796; Philip Freneau...
...10. “Divide and govern”...
...11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks...
...6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt,…

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
—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.
Yesterday I sat and listened to a judge tell a room full of people that ‘government granted us the right of free speech’.
In the book Story of the Faith, by Wm. Alvin Gifford ,1946 Macmillan Company publishers it is suggested that in 1908 France officially codified separation of Church and State.
A process I believe started with the French Revolution. America today seems more reflective and more embracing of the French in their being turned from God—than we are of our own beginnings as a Christian Nation.
Good grief.
Agree. That turn from God was done through governmental raw force, not the people
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to establish new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their System of Government.
And that judge continues to enjoy their cushy job....Protected from the riff-raff, must like their masters in the houses of the State/Fed power structure. Assert your Rights at your own peril.
