“Tyranny leaves lasting scars, and each tyrannical act results in an accumulation of wounds on the public psyche that do not heal. In the end, a single event can become a trigger to unleash a torrent of rage pent up in a population for years or decades. The fight for Cliven Bundy’s farm has the potential to become such a trigger.”
Now we see the long train of abuses. Ruby Ridge and Waco seemed like isolated events in the 90s. At that time, the commie media could control the narrative and portray the resistors as nut jobs.
Not so anymore. The leftist legacy media is dying. The real villain, the federal government, is on full display for all those with eyes to see. The Bundys’ are gaining support on the ground, and the Feds are looking more like the SS everyday.
Sure, a lot of people don’t care because it interferes with their TV viewing. But that doesn’t matter because the ignorant and LIVs won’t matter to those involved in the struggle. When the SHTF, the Feds won’t take care of them, and those that fight for liberty will shrug them off.
What you said!
I agree but look how liberals are already portraying the issue:
“What is new is the mostly out of state extremist right wing push to use this as a flashpoint for some kind of violent revolution. Excellent diaries have already been written about how everyone on Fox News and the vaguely traitorous Tea fringes have been calling for open revolution to protect this man from the tyranny of paying his bills. I have been “discussing” this with a lot of them on the Facebook pages of several of our local news stations for days now. (Yes, I know, but someone had to present the view that stealing is bad.) They scare me, frankly. They have no idea of history or law or the actual facts of the case, and they don’t care. They were told to be outraged, and they are. They’re streaming into the state armed and dangerous and with an extremely tenuous grip on reality, looking for trouble. I fear that they will find it.”
Read the entire piece but I warn you it will make you angry and sick!
