Nickels and Dimes

It's easy to do. Budgets get out of hand. We fly on fumes thinking we can make it til next week. A couple of miscalculations and poof, our stability is gone. Just a little here can't hurt. Or a bit of that. We can afford it. Then the piper must be paid. We go from independence to indebtedness. So it is with these united States too.

All the rules, regulations and statutes have choked us. We have been undercut and undermined. Little by little, our rights have been p***** away. It's a slow trickle or death by a thousand cuts. Many nails in the coffin since 911.

One of the glaring examples of how our Freedom has been compromised is the nonsense about no guns in the Indiana Statehouse. Don't worry. I'm not going to reiterate the idiocy I endured last year dealing with the politicians and bureaucrats. It's simple. A fiat rule was installed endrunning the Legislature and against the 2A and the Indiana Constitution clause ensuring our right to keep and bear arms. It was done by a committee that had no reason except the vague but common premise that we will now be more secure. You don't want to know what just flashed through my mind just now regarding these 'saviors' Well sand and hammers is one thing -smile-.

Then there is the matter of 'licenses'. They are begging the government's permission for protection and a host of other rights and customs (such as marriage).

The excuses are profuse but boringly dull. It's for the children. We will be safer. It's common sense. It's reasonable. That last is a frickin dandy. Liberals' definition of reasonable means that which is closer to their goal of, in this case, disarming us. Reminds me of the Islamic definition of peace: Submission. Awfully similar n'est pas?

This nickel and dime routine is in every facet of our lives. There are those trying to determine what we eat, where we live, how we live, all the way of course to what we think. The Bill of Rights is being shredded or according to some, about done.

I believe our enemies will not go for an all out ban on guns for instance. It's easier to 'compromise'. Then many just whine and complain or ignore our Republic's death. Any all out ban would trigger a civil war. The same could be said about handling illegals. Said about dozens of other things including trade organizations.

Wake up! Also, get folks to take a bit of time to see what's going on outside of the 9 to 5 world, outside of games and tv etc (Nope. Not biting the hand that feeds me re tv etc. A little is a lot . And most of my personal work is to wake up and bring Light).

Where you see the nickel and dime effect, speak up and out. Don't let the enemy get away with it. One person can do some. Alert others. Inspire. Many hands make light work.

Make no mistake, twenty odd thousand gun laws and those unlawful 'acts', such as '68 Gun Control Act, could be here to stay. UNLESS, we move. Unless we DEMAND change and revocation. I recommend starting small and working our way back. Go after local things and march toward the bigger. Use the tactics of incrementalism these fabian asses have taken for their own (using truth instead of lies). Grow and make the supposedly progun orgs to go after the big issues while there is a resounding grassroots resurgence of Freedom.

The libs use the socialist term 'working together'. So can we. However, we come from individuals brainstorming and uniting whereas they become a lockstep machine. We control ourselves. They are under the lash. We think for ourselves. Others think for them. Common cause of Freedom or common cause of slavery. Take your pick.

We're running out of change.

"As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression.
In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains
seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must
be most aware of change in the air - however slight - lest we become
unwitting victims of the darkness."
-- Justice William O. Douglas
(1898-1980), U. S. Supreme Court Justice
