I am daily in fear of the federal government, their goons, unconstitutional laws, and “mandates” such as Obamacare. We have failed, as a society, according to Jefferson’s quote, “When the government fears the People, there is liberty; when the People fear the government, there is tyranny.”

It’s a very simple quote, but the power of the message cannot be understated. We are no longer a free people.

If you think like that, you aren’t free.

I learned the lesson of the ‘Democrat’ back in 1993/94 before Republicans took the House. I remember watching CSPAN which was about a vote in Congress over some Abortion-Rights protest penalty for right-to-lifers who wanted to try and convince prospective ‘mothers’ of the evil they were about to do.

The bill was specifically about Penalties for interfering with, protesting against, and interacting with ‘patients’ at a prospective abortion ‘clinic’. The penalty to be assessed was 5 years prison and/or $250,000.

Some perspective. This 5/250K penalty is the same penalty one gets for say, committing treason and divulging classified information to anyone not authorized.

I vividly remember House Republicans pleading, begging, crying during ‘discussion’ to convince Democrats that what they were about to do constituted all the same sorts of ills we attributed to Nazi Germany just decades before then.

Democrats were unfazed. The vote proceeded and the measure passed. It was exactly then I realized just how evil these co-Americans (supposedly) are.

In reality, these people work their lying magic and manipulation of idiots by giving them money they don’t earn and granting them ‘status’ they don’t deserve, only in return for a single vote, maybe more.

Democrats’ legacy is over 50 Million murders of unborn Americans, untold infringement on our Founders’ intentions, and a complete disregard for all that is good and just and the foundation of this once-great country.

It is completely rational to deduce that they will go the way of all their evil forebearers (Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Idi Amin, et al). Evil incarnate.
