Our militarized “law enforcement” agencies are the “standing army” the Founders feared.
You are right!
I have been thinking about this madness more and more. And I have to say, all this nonsense that is being built up to supposedly make us ‘more secure,’ is crap, it’s government overreach, and they play to our patriotism so that we help to build our own cage.
But I wasn’t raised to be a coward, crying for safety - I was raised to be an American - to be unafraid and to take my chances. And if bad luck happens, I live with the consequences. I’ll take liberty over security now, everytime. I’m a big boy and can handle my own security. I’d rather die free, then live safe in a police state (and even police states aren’t safe anyway - hell, even prisons aren’t safe, and they have guards 24/7).
This government nightmare to secure our safety is destroying this country. I am just waking up to it.
