In countries like Russia, China and Cuba, the Government shoots The People.
In America the reverse is true, Re: April 19, 1775.
The Democommies and federal bureaucrats need to tread lightly in 2011.

You've made a hugely important distinction between America and other nations, my friend.
What's sad to me, is that so many Americans have lost sight of the true source of our freedom, which is of course, The People - not the government. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny ~ when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
We have obviously allowed our government to assume far too much control over us. It has now become as tyrannical as the government we declared our independence from in 1776.
I sincerely hope that we can rein it back in through civil means in the coming years. Our failure to do so will lead to two possible outcomes. One is a second American revolution, and the second is the complete destruction of our constitutional republic.
We must, must succeed.
