A long but excellent article from earlier in the year I couldn't find posted. Good archival history lesson on "progressives", other ne'er do wells and their fellow travelers and how they managed to trample our Constitution. While we watched...

What Happened to the Land of the Free?

Oh, they voted it out in 2008. Ya see.....only the government can help people. Haven't you heard? We're all victims.

Any way, gotta go.......I think the Mail Man just dropped off my check.

Interesting article. I haven’t read it all the way through, but I strongly disagree with one key point by the author. I don’t think the Civil War was not the first step in the demise of this nation as envisioned by its founders. In fact, I would make the case that this vision of freedom and liberty lasted very long at all . . . and basically ended with the events surrounding the Whiskey Rebellion in the early 1790s. That was the first major clash between the ideas of Federal and State governance, and the Feds “won” — in a sense that they had no qualms about sending Federal troops from one state to quell an apparent insurrection in another.

America is an idea. Kill the idea and the real estate isn’t all that exceptional.

Whew, long article but I read it all. And it's spot on. And there's one section I'd like to specifically point out. It's on the section near the end, under: GOVERNMENT IS EVERYWHERE, and on the Bill of Rights.

"Today the Bill of Rights is just a quaint piece of parchment that few in Washington take seriously - lest it interfere with government’s power to do what’s right for you:"

The 2nd Amendment says: “. . . the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

"But Congress routinely passes laws that prevent you from defending yourself. Needless to say, the politicians don’t disarm themselves.....

The following 'gem' is right from the White Hose Website. It's near the bottom, under:

'Our Government', The Constitution, The Bill Of Rights
And this (cough) 'Gem' reads as follows:

'The Second Amendment "gives" citizens the right to bear arms.'

Got that everyone? According to the White House, aka Obama, It "GIVES US THE RIGHT", it doesn't "protect our Right"

That's the 'mentality' of the Kenyan Interloper. That the government GIVES US our Rights. Not God, and they're certainly not unalienable. Because as we know, anything that the government "gives", it can take away.

This little word game isn't used only with the 2A. Every one of the Bill of Rights from the White House website has that tiny and seemingly innocuous alteration.
