Government Power

How much power should our government have? Should they be all powerful and control our every move and our every need? Should they tell us what to do and when to do it? Should they keep us under surveillance any time we are in public? Does all of this make us safer? Does it make us better citizens? When is government intervention into our lives too much? How can we stop it if it is too much? CAN we stop it for any reason? Who gets to say what is right and whether we can stop it?

I could add a lot of other questions, but I think you get my drift. We are getting to be a country that is always under some type of surveillance. There are cameras all over anymore. Most convenience stores have them, they are on street corners, at stop lights, in banks, in stores, virtually everywhere. Are all of the video cameras necessary? And if they are necessary, why are they necessary? No, it is not a matter of if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about. That is the biggest cop-out that I know of. These videos that are taken wind up in government hands every time something happens that they feel they should investigate. Now, only if the government never made mistakes would the nothing to hide statement make any sense. Even then, in this country you are supposed to be guilty until proven innocent. We already have at least one government agency (IRS) that turns that around and considers you guilty until proven innocent. Other agencies, using surveillance tapes are starting to take the same approach. For instance, should your car go through a red light and be caught on camera, you are guilty, even though you may not have been driving the car.

There are a lot of other ways that the government is taking power in this country. The taking over of the banks, the taking over of the automobile companies, the ability to tap your phones and read your emails without your knowledge, the power to take your land away for any reason they may dream up. Here again I could go on and on, but I believe that every thinking American pretty much knows what is wrong. The fasciunist that currently sits in the white house wants more and more power. He is using every fascist tactic that is possible to gain total control of this entire country. He is a known Marxist, communist and he is using all of these fascist tactics to take over the government and turn it to communism. Right now he is using national socialism, which is fascism. If he were to gain total control of the government I believe that he would immediately sell out to the UN and the internationalists and make it part of a world communist government.

There are things that we can do to stop the fasciunists. One of them is to remain a well armed citizenry. One of the reasons that this country has not already gone the way of Britain, Canada, Sweden and all of the rest of the European socialist countries is that the people that would like to take over know that this is one of the best armed nations in the world. Fasciunist tyrants are afraid of an armed populance. Just our citizens having those guns and a portion of those citizens ready to use them if need be, keeps the would be dictators at bay. This is why people who believe in the second amendment are now considered "Domestic Terrorists". With that designation it will give the government the power to confiscate weapons. This is the power they want. If they ever get that power, look out, our country is going to a dictatorship.

What can we do to keep the government from getting those powers? That is why we must for groups and make plans for when things get much worse. You can call these groups militia, patriots or any one of a number of names. The thing to do is to find like minded people and get together to plan a strategy in the event that the govern tries to take away more of the few freedoms we have left. This can but does not have to be a club that practices survival or weapons and tactics. It can just be a discussion group to talk about what each of you are going to do in case of an emergency.

As I stated in the beginning, our government is obtaining way too much power. We also need to throw most of the politicians that are in office out. We need to get politicians in office that have the backbone to stand up and say to the fasciunists, NO MORE. We can not give the government any more power and we should take some of their power away from them. Remember: our founders made this a government "Of the people, By the people and For the people". That is what we must get back to if we want our children and grandchildren to live in a free America.
