The American Police State: One Nation, Under Survellience, Without Liberty Or Justice For Any
The President remarked this morning, "Make no mistake, we are headed in the right direction"." Personally, I find that remark completely offensive to what this country should ideally stand for as a free society. I don't have a view of America that is more right or wrong than anyone else's. In fact, that is my view of America - there is no right or wrong view. There is only one view. That of freedom and a functioning republic. Freedom of choice. Freedom of thought. Freedom of expression. Freedom to lead the life of one's choosing. A self-determined life both emotionally and economically. Yet a country of great social consciousness that compassionately cares for those unable to care for themselves and respects those less fortunate. And in America if I am completely fascinated by women's shoes and wish to open a shoe factory, I should be able to do so without the encumbering bureaucracy of Washington political stooges. Can I do that today? You must be kidding me?
The vast majority of Americans want the country headed in the right direction and they'll recognize it when they see it. But that isn't the direction of Washington elitists from either party. The President has the right idea on some topics but his aloof and ineffective management style and the cronyism in his cabinet has replaced any attempt at real reform with hapless, corrupt legislation. In fact, hapless is pretty much a perfect description of his administration and that of most political administrations which is the reason economic sovereignty or individual freedoms should never be ceded to political stooges. And mind you, except for the infrequent leader or idealistic and altruist servant who lands in public office, they are all stooges.
My goal over the last week has been to put up posts which help crystallize the importance of the upcoming 4th of July holiday. And this is one of them. We'll finish it off on the 4th with our final post.
It's quite obvious to me we live in a police state. We didn't write about this in a lengthy post some time ago for grins and giggles. Or remark countless times of fascism and the state. Mind you, I don't carry guns, I don't belong to a militia, I'm not a fringe element of society, I abhor violence and I have very inclusive mainstream political views of We the People. Is our police state as frightening as communist China? Well of course not. But without the American people's reassertion of dominance over the political process and the state, the future of democracy is not guaranteed. Hope is not a strategy. Our police departments are armed more like military paratroopers than the neighborly Ward and June Cleaver portrayed half a century ago. Don't be naive. They aren't here to protect you. They are here to control you. Even the ACLU is now drawing that conclusion.
The ACLU has issued a report that highlights the United States as a police state intent on trampling your constitutional rights and individual freedoms granted by our creator.
Mr. President, we are not headed in the right direction. And as a supposed constitutional attorney, you should clearly recognize this.
