You are wrong. Citizens will rise up when needed.
Donald J Trump is the perfect example.
Yeah, the biggest difference for me was the bad guy fessing up. But I didn’t want to spoil it. ;-)
The part that is a huge parallel is where they make something against him out of nothing, and if the guy had NOT fessed up, Smith would have been toast.
>>The Devil’s Disciples.
In a country in which “Equal Justice Under The Law” was more than this a useless cliche, those three criminals would be working on a chain gang.
>> MUST BE STOPPED.. NOW!!!
Not gonna happen: the AG has gone AWOL.
>> The Deep State players are EXEMPT from the rule of law in America and that has been made very CLEAR to us.
And that is exactly why I’m hearing that patriots by the millions are gearing up for massive and continuous civil disobedience to shut down the D.C. swamp until these “Deep State” criminals are indicted for conspiracy to deny the Constitutional rights of all Americans.
So as I think about all the horrible shit the government is doing today, I can't help but think about the Founders,
and what they would think about current events and the state of the republic they left to their heirs.
What would the Founders think about the government secretly and illegally trafficking thousands of military-grade arms to criminals, brigands, and pirates,
knowing full well that those criminals will kill thousands of innocent people with said arms,
as a ploy to disarm their own citizenry
and when caught red-handed in this criminal and despicable act,
the governmental appointee responsible for executing this disgraceful policy lies, dissembles, and stonewalls,
and suffers no sanction or penalty ?
What would they think of the government reading, and oftentimes copying and warehousing, every single letter of their correspondence, their diaries, their conversations, their most private and intimate of communications ?
What would they think of government agents standing on rooftops and street corners,
monitoring and documenting the comings and goings of every citizen every day of his life,
whom they speak with and associate with, and what they purchase and from whom ?
What would they think about their government spying on journalists, town criers, and pamphleteers,
and swearing out false oaths to judges to have them surveilled ?
What would they think about government tax agents given specific orders to harass, intimidate, penalize, and obstruct any person who speaks for peaceful, legislative reform of the government
or is critical of the government, even demanding that they document the content of their prayers ?
What would they think about a government that routinely ignores laws already on the books solely for material and political gain,
a government that creates punitive laws through specious methods, and then exempts themselves from being subject to those laws,
and when their agents, officials, and appointees are caught in serious crimes and malfeasance, they are simply reassigned and protected by the government,
never to face trial or pay any penalty for their acts or the harm they inflict on ordinary citizens ?
Ill tell you what I believe
I believe the shooting would have already started.
Its not that I want something terrible to happen, its that I am positively astonished that something terrible hasnt already happened.
The Founders set out to create a limited government.
They did not create a Constitution that spelled out what the government may not do, they created a Constitution that detailed exactly and precisely what the federal government MAY do, and nothing more.
This far, and no further.
All other powers were specifically and deliberately left to the individual states, and to the people themselves.
The Bill of Rights was added at the insistence of several of the Founders to protect the individual citizen from future tyranny and avaricious government.
I see only two paths for America today. First,
some miracle will happen in which a couple hundred constitutionalists like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee and Trey Gowdy will be elected to the House and Senate over the next few election cycles,
and something resembling the Founders republic will be restored. But given the current climate of relentless progressivism, massive bureaucracy, government dependence, and voter ignorance, that seems like a very remote possibility.
The second path isthat complacency, ignorance, and indifference will allow more progressives and communists to be elected,
the federal government will continue to grow and amass power unchecked,
and one day very soon, we will we will witness the birth of a police state that will make the Gestapo, the KGB, and the Stasi look like pikers and dilettantes.
Hell, the argument could be made that the police state is already here.
I cant get Kevin and the pig trap out of my head,
because it is a perfect metaphor for the surveillance state our government has built.It has been erected slowly over time, one piece at a time, so as to not panic the populace.
And the government seems to have been wildly successful,because the American population at large seems completely unphased and unalarmed at what has been built over the last twenty or thirty years.
This isnt a Republican vs. Democrat issue,
it isnt even a conservative vs. liberal issue
this is an American vs. un-American issue.
Do you wish to be a free American,
or will you accept becoming a slave to a massive and all-powerful police state?
You are either an advocate for freedom and limited government,
or you are an advocate for tyranny.
There is no gray area, no middle ground to be found here.
This government has slowly amassed powers over the last hundred years that would horrify the Founders of this nation.
As I stated earlier, I cant believe the shooting hasnt already started.
My intellectual betters are already telling me that
These people are like children playing with matches.
“The Deep State players are EXEMPT from the rule of law in America and that has been made very CLEAR to us.”
....and when Deep State players, AKA Democrats, are backed by a large part of a radicalized, Democrat population, it turns into an impossible situation where Deep Staters are brilliant geniuses while all others are knuckle-dragging morons.
(It’s what soviets do best.)
