The Patriot Act, mass surveillance, and all that stuff coming to light these days, exists
because people, citizens, allowed government too much control. How does
government get that kind of control? The same way an elephant is eaten: One
small bite at a time.
Hitler did not rise to power overnight. He had a plan. He
showed he cared for the German people. He created jobs. Heck, he ordered the
design of a mass-produced car called the VolkswagonBeetle
that everybody could ride on the brand-spanking new country-wide highway system
he was building.

Wasn’t Hitler simply ever so nice? He cares about us, said the German
people. Jobs. Cars. New roads. Of course, what he wasn’t telling the populace
was that these super-stout roads he was having built were for the sole purpose
of quickly moving heavy war machines and soldiers from one place to another. And they
thought it was for making their vacay trip easy. But…
Surprise! World War Two.
And if you complain, O Citizenry,
we shall kill you. Your children are ours. Your businesses are ours. Your lives
belong to us. Yes, Hitler and his gang of enlightened decided to rule the world
according to their enlightened ways which were nothing but intolerant,
narrow-minded, conformist in the extreme, partial to themselves, and unenlightened.
Hitler ended up killing himself. To get a feel for how the
ending of that third reich
turned out watch this video.
In the United States those bites against civil liberties and
basic human rights started in earnest in the mid-60s when a concerted and
concentrated effort began to gut the very foundations of this country, namely
the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Madalyn Murray O’Hair
was a huge front runner of it with her assault on getting rid of all prayer in
schools, though truthfully she simply saw how the wind was blowing and took
advantage of it to make a name for herself.
In any case...
This gutting of the Constitution and the Bill
of Rights didn't happen overnight and it continues today. You want to know why
so much anti-Trump stuff is in the news? Because by daring to say he would
protect and defend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, President Trump is
threatening to overturn all efforts of those who have worked hard to turn government
that serves into Big "Nanny State" Government that controls by
convincing each succeeding generation they are too stupid to make simple
choices for their own lives.
Oh, how they are investing millions if not billions in
pushing their agenda of hate.
They loved the Trump of mogul and reality TV star.
They hate the Trump that defends against their tyranny.
They love the tax-paying conservative citizenry that provides
them their spending money.
They hate the “basket
of deplorables” — a much larger crowd than their wildest dreams ever expected
— which agree with defending the Constitution and protecting the rights granted
in the Bill of Rights.
Dripping Hate
All this hate drips from newspaper headlines, magazine
covers, and serious news shows on major networks owned and controlled by the
enlightened but whose circulation, subscriptions, and ratings have been falling
for years and they just cannot figure out why.
"See, we know best!" they and their handmaidens still
crow. "You (viewer, reader, and citizen, are a mere idiot and cannot hope
to understand. WE will teach your children what is best. WE will tell you when
you can move. WE are the enlightened. You want to know how stupid you are,
parents? WE, the progressives, will say it: You are too stupid to even tell your
children how babies are made or how to avoid pregnancy."
State-Sponsored Censuring
So, the State provides teachers trained in State-approved methods to teach
children in State-sponsored schools who are given State-approved materials and
measured against State-approved tests designed to keep citizens in their places.
The State punishes parents who dare to question what their children are taught. The State upbraids and censures parents who dare to teach their children that the best way, the very best way, to avoid getting pregnant is to use self-control and not have sex until such time as they are ready to support a child.
“What?” says the State, shocked at the impudence of such
parents. “Self-control? You’re children cannot exercise self-control because
they are animals, living in their reptilian brain, and when they feel an urge —
whether it to be creative and sing, or boink willy-nilly the gender of their
choice — They. Must. Not. Be. Hindered. Else their precious egos take a beating
and they won’t be able to reach their full potential. Oh, the horror.”
Take Hope
But it is sites such as this, and those of us like myself
who also write on our own sites, who are part of a strong networked fourth
estate of citizen journalists indebted to none, bound to truth, upholders of
justice for all.
We know we carry weight and are making a difference because social
media titans block us, ban us, shut down our accounts, or in other ways make
sure nobody sees our clear messages of what the real problem is: The fight to
take away freedom.
So, for those who read this blog roll, for those who share
the messages they read, for those who take heart from them all, we are working
our fingers as fast as we can and appreciate any comments — especially of
support — you send our way.
