The Government(s) is more dangerous than all the semi-demi-private-authoritarians-criminals put together and squared. It is so not because the humans employed there are initially any worse than humans employed anywhere else. It is so because of governments' size and power. Walking pustules of contagion are dangerous but containable when scattered throughout the general population. Cluster them in government and they will spread and metastasize. Government must be small and barely able to accomplish its' publicly agreed to mandate(s). Anything larger will spoil and infect the whole structure.
Had a wild-eyed college friend who "claimed" to be an old-fashioned Communist. He was fond of saying that ... he never wanted to see a day when the government had a monopoly on violence.
College anarchists have little personal assets at stake. They generally eventually moderate their positions. |

Was it Ronald Reagan who said: Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people.? |

Checks and balances played a part too.
Sadly the rest is all too correct.

Certainly there are some who seek and acquire political power that have some honor and desire to preserve and defend the US Constitution. Unfortunately, their numbers are few and the greatest check and balance to Washington, “the press”, has zero. The Marxists have succeeded in completely destroying the last 2 generation’s values through total corruption of the US culture. The coup VDH addresses progressed in slow motion like a predator approaching its quarry until the final moment. We who love freedom and honor those who achieved it to grant it to us as an inheritance, are in the minority surrounded by a majority that simply doesn’t care. |

An example of the continuous rot: newjerseymonitor.com/briefs/governor-murphy-signs-bill-requiring-media-literacy-lessons/“Gov. Phil Murphy on Wednesday signed a bill that requires the Department of Education to create guidelines on media and information literacy for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. “Our democracy remains under sustained attack through the proliferation of disinformation that is eroding the role of truth in our political and civic discourse,” the governor said in a statement. “It is our responsibility to ensure our nation’s future leaders are equipped with the tools necessary to identify fact from fiction.”” I have no idea if this a$$ knows or cares that the United States is not a democracy but a Constitutional Republic. I do know that the founders would utterly despise him as I do. The fawning media loves him though. |

Carpetbaggers and their moron minions will have trouble enforcing their vision. |

Meet a newly proclaimed member of "the enemy". One who attacks the fundamental principles of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. As un-American as it gets.

Unfortunately, some of those "other" philosophies snuck in.

Glen Beck is from a small town in Western WA and his views do not reflect the views of myself.
