It's gone, darkness waits for their dictator to pick up these slave tools.
Islamists in Oregon, hanging chads in Florida, the end is near I tell ya..........
It's a nice sentence, but he cribbed it from Daniel Webster:
Good intentions will always be pleaded for any assumption of power. The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.
-Daniel Webster
And the prosecutors of Nicole Browns murderer are confusing a frenzied homocidal stabbing death with repeated pokings with a sharp piece of steel.
OK, even though I refuse to wear a label, but judging from the sense I get early on in the article, my only comment is: consider the source.
It's way too early to be breaking out the aluminum foil.
Joe Sobran summed it up well:
So to most Americans, even those who feel oppressed by what they call big government, it must sound strange to hear it said, in the past tense, that tyranny “came” to America. After all, we have a constitution, don’t we? We’ve abolished slavery and segregation. We won two world wars and the Cold War. We still congratulate ourselves before every ballgame on being the Land of the Free. And we aren’t ruled by some fanatic with a funny mustache who likes big parades with thousands of soldiers goose-stepping past huge pictures of himself.
For all that, we no longer fully have what our ancestors, who framed and ratified our Constitution, thought of as freedom — a careful division of power that prevents power from becoming concentrated and unlimited. The word they usually used for concentrated power was consolidated — a rough synonym for fascist. And the words they used for any excessive powers claimed or exercised by the state were usurped and tyrannical. They would consider the modern “liberal” state tyrannical in principle; they would see in it not the opposite of the fascist, communist, and socialist states, but their sister.
If Washington and Jefferson, Madison, and Hamilton could come back, the first thing they’d notice would be that the federal government now routinely assumes thousands of powers never assigned to it — powers never granted, never delegated, never enumerated. These were the words they used, and it’s a good idea for us to learn their language. They would say that we no longer live under the Constitution they wrote. And the Americans of a much later era — the period from Cleveland to Coolidge, for example — would say we no longer live even under the Constitution they inherited and amended.
I call the present system “Post–Constitutional America.” As I sometimes put it, the U.S. Constitution poses no serious threat to our form of government.
What’s worse is that our constitutional illiteracy cuts us off from our own national heritage. And so our politics degenerates into increasingly bitter and unprincipled quarrels about who is going to bear the burdens of war and welfare.

The bad news is that, our 'leaders' don't think so.
The good news is that we outnumber them 400 to 1.
I wish we had that kind of congress. Who among them, other than Ron Paul, would willingly agree to nullify those usurped powers. It will be difficult to crush the empire and restore the republic.
The only UN forces in Montana that wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb would be Canadians. You don't see many non-whites here and a furrin accent is rare.
OTOH, most Canadians you see here are pensioners driving motor homes or drug-crazed 18-wheeler truckers.
The elitists/globalists know this fact. That's why nothing like that will happen as long as America has a Constitution, and that Constitution has the Second Amendment!! Why do you think the Liberals and the U.N. are so eager to take it away?
