A war to the death

Being 47 years old, I still remember hiding under my desk in grade school during mock nuclear attacks by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. I remember all too well the stories of KGB agents snooping on their citizens, invading their citizens' homes late at night for questioning the authority of the "state" – whether real or imagined – dragging citizens out of their homes and sending them to the gulags to be compelled to confess to their alleged "crimes."

Millions were simply just killed as "enemies of the state." I remember the stories of how their citizens were routinely stopped at security check points, or just simply walking down the street and being compelled to show their "papers" and being searched. All this, and more, in the name of "state security." I remember being told over and over again that because of all this, this was the reason why we were fighting the "Cold War" against the communists.

My, how things have changed. We have become an image of our old adversaries. In the name of "state security." In the name of "freedom." In the name of "liberty." In the name of "safety." In the name of the "Homeland." In the name of "protecting the citizens." In the name of the "STATE." Destroying what last vestige is left of our Constitution ... in order to save it?

Besides the liberties and freedoms that have been stolen from us since the "Civil War" (2nd American Revolution), more damage has been done to our Constitution in the past four years, than in all of my 47 ...

So Mr. President, so Congress, so Senate, so Department of Homeland Security, so TSA, so DOD, so NSA, so all the other various alphabet agencies of the federal government and all state and local agencies feeding on the federal teats destroying the last vestige of our Constitution, eat this ...

The time will come when that famous quote by the father of our Declaration of Independence shall come alive and become the rallying cry of Patriots who yearn to reclaim their rights, their lives, their liberty and their pursuit of happiness, unfettered by the yokes that you have placed upon us. Intruding where you ought not.

And if this be treason ... if this be sedition ... then so be it!

Better Red than dead?

No!

Better in the company of men who gave us our Republic, than be reduced under absolute despotism.
