Wake-up!

"There can be no denying that the world is indeed a dangerous place, but what the president and his cohorts fail to acknowledge is that it's the government that poses the gravest threat to our freedoms and way of life, and no amount of politicking, parsing or pandering will change that. It is easy to be diverted, distracted and amused by the antics of politicians, the pomp and circumstance of awards shows, athletic events, and entertainment news, and the feel-good, wrapped-in-the-flag evangelism that passes for religion today.

What is far more difficult to face up to is the reality of life in America, where unemployment, poverty, inequality, injustice and violence by government agents are increasingly norms, and where "we the people" are at a distinct disadvantage in the face of the government elite's power grabs, greed and firepower. The Constitution doesn't stand a chance against a federalized, globalized standing army protected by legislative, judicial and executive branches that are all on the same side, no matter what political views they subscribe to: suffice it to say, they are not on our side or the side of freedom."

Yet as George Orwell observed, "The real division is not between conservatives and revolutionaries but between authoritarians and libertarians." You either believe in freedom or you don't. It's that simple.

The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government.

The greatest mistake in American history was letting government educate our children.
