“Beauregard’s choice”

Step by step we march toward fascism and tyranny. Under Woodrow Wilson we imprisoned Americans for speaking out against World War I. Under the Palmer Raids we arrested and deported or imprisoned immigrants we didn’t like. All to protect the liberal elite of the day. The liberal elite also subscribed to eugenics and they sterilized tens of thousands to clear the human genome of genetic weeds. Margaret Sanger even initiated the Negro project as a silent genocide to cleanse them from the United States.
Today we have dummy email accounts used for off the books conversations and policy creation on the President’s cabinet. The Justice Department refuses to prosecute the Black Panthers for voter intimidation, but ships weapons to Mexican drug cartels to be used to commit the murders of Federal law enforcement officers and innocent civilians. The Secretary of State doesn’t read the memos from Libya and is unaware of any danger there. But she has the film director locked up as a political prisoner in order to appease the Muslims overseas who are mostly unaware of it.


The National Endowment for the Arts is using tax payer money to fund propaganda for Obama and making up code words so the uninformed will be kept in the dark as to that abuse of government power. Then there are those who idolized Mao Tse Tung who have walked the halls of the White House and did the President’s bidding and so secure were they in their beliefs that they hung Christmas ornaments bearing his image on the national tree. The U.S. Congress forges legislation behind closed doors and tells the American people that they can know what is in the bill when it passes and is signed into law and the Democrats lock out the Republicans from committee meetings and deny their constituents a voice in their own government.
It has long been the policy of the Obama administration to never allow an emergency to go to waste. They use it to push their agenda and to shut down criticism. They use such emergencies to expand their power and to tighten their grip upon it. They spend tax payer money as if it will never run out and they continue to buy votes with it by affixing the yoke of political slavery about the necks of those whose palms they have greased.
Now we find that Obama, who couldn’t get the secret police that he and Rahm so desperately wanted, is using lethal force to kill American citizens who are merely suspected of being terrorists and who are not even planning to launch a terrorist strike and we as Americans are supposed to just shut up and sit down and trust the government as it murders its own citizens. Isn’t that what we accused Syria’s Bashar Assad of doing?
A recent poll revealed that 53% of Americans believe that the government is a threat to their freedom. But this is only the beginning. We still do not know what Obama promised Vladimir Putin when he was caught on an open mike with Medvedev. Even the Unions who have spent hundreds of millions of dollars and broken heads to get Obama elected are now backing off of him as they begin to realize the true cost of Obamacare that they fought so hard to get. Last I heard, the IRS says that a family of 5 on the bronze plan would cost 20K a year indicating the reason that the system was front loaded with four years of taxes before anybody got anything.
The mainstream media has been complicit in all of the above. They have carried the water of the leftists and attacked all criticism with a zeal reminiscent of Pravda under the U.S.S.R. during the Cold War. They lie to the American people and hide what the American citizen needs to know. They shape the public’s mind and intent with purpose and they do so in order to curry favor with their political masters.
In truth, I do not even know my own homeland anymore. Like the Londoner who felt a stranger in her own native England, I feel a stranger as well. We must now forget our Federal overlord and focus upon the States. The States have ever been closer to the American people and we must look to them to stand up to the Federal slave master. The Leviathan of government has grown far too large and far too powerful. Hobbes would say that so long as man is not forced to return to nature then we must abide by the government that we have. But the U.S. government was not founded upon Hobbes’ principles of government. It was founded upon the philosophy of Locke.
Therefore, consent to be governed may be withdrawn at anytime and for any reason. But Locke also said that a man had to resort to his feet lest there be no place left to go. It is here that Americans find themselves in a quandary as they did when Lincoln refused to pull his troops out of Fort Sumter. General Pierre G.T. Beauregard had no choice, but to fire the shot that signaled the beginning of the Civil War. What else was he to do?
We are swiftly approaching that point in today’s history. Faced with an increasingly tyrannical government that cares more for power than for liberty, the citizen must rely upon his State government to take up the banner and to stand for what is right. Should the State governments fail to constrain Washington D.C., then we will be left with Beauregard’s choice.

    Good reading,yes,our only hope is in the States government,that is where the real power resides.We must be watchful and ready to act even there.Take a look at the CSCOPE controversy happening in Texas.
    For those of you unfamiliar it’s an online textbook system that many schools have adopted.The advantage is that the text book curriculum can be updated easily instead of having to print new books every few years.Problem is the company that runs the system has kept parents and teachers locked out of the system so they can’t see what is being taught.Of course this system is chuck full of leftist ideology-
