Because sir, the idea is to PREVENT it from happening, just as the idea of a strong and ready military will PREVENT us from being attacked. IF, and I say IF, what I fear is going to happen does, it will cause many many deaths. I don't want to see that. That is what has happened throughout history when this type of tryanny has taken over a country.
The fundemental difference between Obama and his ilk and me is: I believe that the individual is far more suited to decide thier own fate than the government is. That each person is able, through thier own efforts, can and will overcome any obstical placed in front of them. The "left" or "liberals" or what ever don't believe that. They feel that they are the "elite thinkers" that they should be able to, because they are better, "help" the masses since they are for the most part unable to help themselfs.
The "Left" has always been ready to use what ever means they can, like concentration camps, mass murder, gulags etc to achieve thier means. You, to achieve this "utipia" have to remove those who don't agree with or who really are able to fend for themselfs.
We have been headed down a very dangerous path in this country for many many years. A path that takes away personal responsibility and replaces it with custodial care from a "Benevolent" government. We, for what ever reason as a people, seem willing to give up rights and protections for the "easy way". We have lost the drive to overcome. We forget that with freedom comes the chance to suceed or fail. That both sucess and failure are good if you use them to your advantage. We want easy now and if our "Friends" in government can do that for us, so what if we give up our freedom, it is now easy.
What you see from me is not so much rage as resolve. I believe that the answer to our problems DO NOT come from government but from the people. The ingenuity, the cleverness and the sheer drive of the American people need to be turned loose. Government is either the cause of or at least amplifies every problem, or challenge as I see them, that we face today as a nation. Take away the Right, the freedoms and you destroy that amazing ability that the American people possess. Life without freedom is not life, it is only exsistance. More like crusing while waiting to die.
Just as a salmon that battles it's way up heavy currents for the prize of reproducing, it is only through struggle that man can achieve his full potential. That is the most incideous idea of the "Left". They promise to remove the struggle.
I choose struggle and freedom. If you don't, that is your choice, not mine. I cannot be forced into it or anything that I don't like. Once we give up our freedom it is very unlikely that it will ever be regained and IF we do ever regain it, it will be at great cost. Again, the idea is to AVOID the problem, NOT fight it after the fact.
