She is the enemy.

That's sad, that it indeed has come to that pass. She is. Today it is in actuality the Federal Establishment which is set against every free citizen. That Federal Establishment includes the government bureaucracy, but it also includes universities, who are highly protected, funded and regulated by the Federal government. It also includes many financial operations which are tightly entangled with the Federal Reserve and the various Federal regulators. It includes many co-opted "private" enterprises accepting Federal grants, loans, contracts and tacked down like barnacles to the Federal hull.

It also includes those citizens whose daily lives are funded by the Federal Government via jobs, pensions, welfare, grants.

Are we, the still free, a minority?

Today a new civil war has begun. They have attacked us. They have left no way to bargain with them.

Yes, that's true. But in an even more profound sense, they have made violence inevitable by corrupting down to its tiniest details the very language we use to frame our debate. The only cousrse open to those of us who wish to live free is to remove the the statists, freeloaders and totalitarians amongs. Permanently. They chose the rules of engagement - we didn't. So they should hardly be surprised at the results.

Yes, the government which exists to serve the American people has morphed into a self-regarding entity that looks first and foremost to its own interest, and contrary to the interests of the American people.

Even FDR considered it absurd that employees of the government should unionize. Yet here we are, and government employees unions have become the most powerful and radical of all the unions and Barack Obama is nothing if not the very embodiment of SEIU and the interest of government employees against that of the American people.

The radical left views government employees as a way-stop to full-blown socialism, as these people are already dependent on the government for their livelihood and highly susceptible to the development of class consciousness.

It is a giant parasite that will be only be removed and restored to its original purpose after a terrible struggle, as we got a glimpse of in Wisconsin.
