Washington, DC—At the end of the Civil War Congress passed
the Posse Comitatus Act that prohibited our military forces from law
enforcement activities on our own soil. There was enough horror inflicted by soldiers
burning down homes all over the American South.
Wanton acts of cruelty by military forces on American civilians were
beyond shocking.
Our Congress has steadfastly refused to turn this kind of
absolute power to the government until Barack Obama wanted it. That along with the power to imprison
Americans without lawyers, trials or Due Process has placed us all in the
crosshairs of an absolute tyrant. These
are just some of the very powers that Josef Stalin and Adolph Hitler had to
massacre millions of their own citizens.
Additionally the despots of World War Two never had the kind
of comprehensive data collected and stored on computer of every man, woman and
child like our government collects today.
A tyrant today in our Whitehouse could murder us far more
efficiently than ever before in the history of the world. We are handing over additional raw power to
our government to destroy and plunder us every second. I guess we refused to learn that absolute
power corrupts absolutely.
The political Left bitterly and rightly decried the Patriot
Act but under Obama it has been expanded significantly. Now the Left is silent about that and some
many other attacks on American’s liberty, privacy and peace.
The government has been sending unmanned drone aircraft to
spy on Americans and these flying machines can also destroy our homes and
businesses. Needless to say anyone
caught inside will be incinerated.
Soldiers take an oath to defend the Constitution and most may
have some sense of right and wrong to prevent them from committing atrocities against
fellow Americans.
The problem with the drones is that they can be operated by
or mercenaries or even criminals. Unlike
conventional military aircraft pilots we will never know who is behind the
curtain at the controls of killer drones. They will only place people behind the
controls of the drones that will blindly take orders from superiors.
Frankly I can understand why Americans want to shoot the
drones down on sight if they appear over our property uninvited.
At what point to we say enough? At what point do Americans began to retaliate
against politicians and their bureaucrats with gasoline, bombs and
firearms? Frankly, four more years of
Barack Obama’s ambitious destruction of liberty, free enterprise and privacy
will invite a second and far more deadly Civil War.
