I Am Now a Dissident (and You Should Be, Too!)
American Thinker ^ | 11/6/2013 | Joe Herring

dissident n. a person who opposes official policy, esp. that of an authoritarian state.

We live in a nation where the constitutionally respectful are becoming increasingly outnumbered by those who neither understand the underpinnings of our founding nor recognize the benefits that flow from those foundational values. 

In place of legitimate constitutional scholarship in our educational system, we see a systematic and unrelenting effort to overturn the original concepts of our Constitution in favor of some "living" replacement -- an "updated" document made for a diverse and evolving population, or so we are told.

Those who hold offices created by the Constitution itself are the very people using the power of those offices to usurp constitutional authority and undermine its place in American law.

After Obama utilized his entire first term to levy insult after insult against the rule of law in our nation, we conservatives appealed to our fellow citizens to vote with us to halt his lawlessness.  We discovered to our eternal dismay that we -- not they -- are the minority.

> This is anecdotal evidence of course, but the younger generation has really been hi jacked into socialism via the public education system. It will get worse with the common core agenda being put into place

There are people looking deeply into CORE ass we speak. Some indications have been found that there is a political element funding it that does not have our best interests at heart.

I don’t see any of those ‘dissent is patriotic’ stickers much any more.

Went right on past “dissident”. I’m aiming for outright “freedom fighter”.

Bump, and I've never forgotten that.

My problem is getting people to listen -- they cannot imagine how dangerous and evil these people are.

I think all my relatives have been inoculated with the "they only complain because they're really racist" viruslie. So when I complain about Barky, I hear the "uh-oh, how embarrassing, he's being a racist, right here in my living room!!" thoughts whirling around in people's heads, and the room temperature drops 20 o.
