“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.”

Liberty was given to us.

Founding Fathers gave us liberty—they paid the price.

Soldiers and citizens preserved our liberty—they paid the price.

Liberty did not come by information alone.

Liberty did not come by the democratic process alone.

People who passionately believed in liberty more than life sacrificed everything for freedom, for us.

 

And just whose job is it to guard our freedom today?

That would be anyone with a memory, a passion, a family, a voice, a prayer, a family, an audience, a family, a gun, a Bible.

 

But sadly, today, the universal commitment to vigilance by every American has been replaced with dependence on others—dependence on the government—to keep us free.

And government is the very thing the founders knew was the greatest threat that would endanger our freedom.

 

So how are we doing in guarding our freedom from the encroaching government?

 

People with a voice and an audience sound the alarm—guardians of freedom of speech in the Constitution.  Many are sounding the alarm loud and clear.  But is it enough?

People with a pen and a passion sound the alarm—guardians of freedom of the press in the Constitution.  Many are sounding the alarm loud and clear.  But is it enough?

People with a pulpit and people in the pew sound the alarm—guardians of freedom of religion in the Constitution.  Few are sounding the alarm loud and clear.  It is not enough.  In the Revolutionary War King George feared most the American Black Robed Regiment.  No one fears the preachers in America today.

People with guns sound the alarm—guardians of freedom to bear arms in the Constitution.  How many are sounding the alarm?  Not enough.  Many are very alarmed.  The next paragraph reveals a huge loss in America of understanding the connection between winning our freedom and preserving our freedom.

 

TWO CENTURIES OF DEPENDING ON THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS HAS MADE US FORGET THAT APPLYING THE SECOND AMENDMENT NOW IS NOT THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS AS WE HAVE COME TO KNOW IT.

 

The second amendment was written so we can stop the government by force, when elections fail to do so.

The current government—too powerful, out of control, dictatorial, evil—now has huge stockpiles of ammunition specifically intended for killing Americans.  Many Americans understand that our right to bear arms is our only defense against this bad government.

Still we are told from every angle to refrain from violence.  But violence is coming to the streets of America.  Will it be productive violence, or just a massacre?  Will it be too late, then, even for the second amendment?

The Islamic terrorists are eager to do, in America, what they are doing without restraint around the world now.  And BHOB* is doing everything he possibly can to enable and invite them.  All that is left is for the signal to be given, and it will begin.

BHOB* can then hide behind blaming all on the ISIS attack, as he declares martial law and brings his dictatorship to full tyranny.

 

And now a word about guard dogs.

All the people with an audience (and including their audiences) who are diligently documenting all the bad things coming at us daily, and vigorously sounding alarms, are like guard dogs—well-trained to viciously confront the bad guys.

Problem is—the bad guys keep throwing delicious bones to the guard dogs, and occasionally juicy meat, and even something live, which they eagerly devour with loud “rrraarrr.”

The guard dogs are satisfied because they are occupied with frequent feeding frenzies, thinking they have done their job well.

They don’t realize they have just devoured the bait, while the bad guys laugh and ransack the place.  The property is unprotected because the bad guys have locked the guard dogs in a fence of non-violent compliance with the rules.

 

How many true conservatives in the media and in Washington can honestly claim that we are stopping BHOB* and his Islamic terrorist friends?

 

I HEAR A LOT OF TALK BEATING UP THE BAIT, WHILE THE ENEMY HAS NOTHING TO FEAR.
