Abused By Illusions

When will Americans wake up and realize that a political house cleaning is long over due, that it is time to house the criminals masquerading as politicians and civil servants in their ever expanding penal system, and that they have been lied to deceived and had treason committed against them? How long will it be before their eyes are opened to the fact that sociopathic lunatics are in charge of the asylum? Will it be in time to keep this old house that we all know as the United States of America from falling? I hope so but I lose more faith in a positive outcome everyday. Americans have been lulled into the false belief that as long as they keep their spending up at the mall that they will remain free.

America has forgotten the warnings of her forefathers regarding the greatest threat to liberty that being her own government. America remiss in remembering why a Bill of Rights was so important to those that formed her first government. In short Americans have become lazy craven timorous observers as this great old house is ravaged by the parasites within.

Before posting the link to the story on the Pentagon worker who destroyed documents that identified Mohammad Atta as a terrorist 2 years before the 2001 attacks I would like to leave you with some quotes by some famous Americans from a different time. Their words are just as true if not more true than when they penned them.

If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.
James Madison

It is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad.
James Madison

No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.
James Madison

Of all the enemies of public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.
James Madison

The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home.
James Madison

"It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government."
-- Thomas Paine

A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference.
Thomas Jefferson

“The citizen who sees his society’s democratic clothes being worn out and does not cry it out, is not a patriot, but a traitor.”
--Mark Twain

Why is any of this important to me you might ask? I was in a college course last spring when the topic of government came up. I made the mistake of repeating some of the quotes above and other similar ones to my younger classmates. They were aghast and told me that I couldn't talk like that. They told me that words like the above would get one arrested and locked up by the state. One classmate considered the words of our founders so subversive that he had to get up and leave saying that our discussion was scaring him. I wasn't scared that the police or anyone was going to come arrest me. What scared me was watching and listening to my younger classmates. Many of them were truly terrified. Where and how did they get these ideas? Was the world upside down or was I?

How can we honestly say that we are exporting freedom and democracy to the world when our government is instilling this kind of terror in those young people? When our democratically elected representatives are treasonously voting for laws such as the P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act and removing the original sunset clauses on many of the provisions of same in contravention of the oath of office that they all swore to?

If the words of our founding fathers are now treasonous and the highest virtues in the land are insuring we continue to spend at the mall and never ever speak in dissension with the wrong headed actions of our elected representatives then America we are in trouble. Does anyone understand where I am coming from on this? Or am I just an addled old veteran that doesn't understand how chic it is to live in a corporate facist state?

As always your comments are encouraged and most appreciated. I got the code fixed for the popup comments but when it takes you to the comments page you still have to scroll to the top of the page in some browsers to get to the link for the comment popup.

Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you. --Pericles (430 B.C.)

To announce that there must be NO criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President Right or Wrong, is not only UNPATRIOTIC and SERVILE, but is Morally TREASONABLE to the American Public." Former Republican President, Theodore Roosevelt

"People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction."
—James Baldwin

There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which can not fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance--that principle is contempt prior to investigation."
-- Herbert Spencer
