The Anti-Constitutional Anti-Government Crowd
A word to all the disgruntled, claiming that their rights are being abridged, trampled on, taken away, whatever.
You know, the ones who are threatening to bear arms against their government.
The ones so eager to protect the Constitution.
So damn eager that they can't even see they are the ones who are about to destroy, to run afoul of, to undermine the Constitution.
What you are purporting to do is exactly why you have a constitution - to prevent people like you from acting out your idiotic schemes and disrupt society unnecessarily.
Do you even begin to understand this? I don't think so, or else why would you not embrace your Constitution - meaning embracing the remedies it provides to address the perceived abuses against you.
So decide what it is the heck you want, a constitution or tyranny, because 1) you cannot have both, and 2) a constitution is not a piece of paper.
It may start out that way, but it also has to develop into behavior, and right now you are not behaving constitutionally.
You are the one not behaving in a constitutional manner.
I was not born in this country so maybe it is presumptuous of me to think that I could offer anyone advise about citizenry.
Be that as it may, it is not surprising that those who complain about their rights being taken away are the same ones who seem not to appreciate the rights and responsibilities they do have as citizens.
Case in point, the same ones who seem to be venting the most about their rights being trampled on are the same ones who remained silent during the Bush-era wire-tap brouhaha.
The same ones who would argue that they would not mind being wire-tapped by their government as they have nothing to lose.
Completely missing the importance of the right to privacy in a democracy, and a free society, they are unable to make the linkage between the prosperity of this country and the progress it has made with the simple notion that each person should have no fear that their government can out of the blue pull something on them just because it can.
The only sure way to protect yourself against that is to prevent the government from arbitrarily collecting information on you.
These types of course would hardly begin to appreciate this principle given the protection they feel they have given their cherished second amendment rights.
They are clearly not interested in protecting their rights under the Constitution, but to be able to enforce their disapproval.
That is called tyranny.
Yet they are so in love with the Constitution.
