Decrees of the Obama Administration and various laws passed by the
U.S. Congress seriously threaten our individual liberty. By the Patriot
Act, the NDAA, NSA surveillance, TSA, etc., government shows less and
less concern about liberty or the Constitution, and greater and
greater willingness to violate these rights in the name of
“security.”
Benjamin Franklin
wrote, “Those who can give up essential
Liberty. to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither
Liberty nor Safety.” Is this beginning to describe our country?
It is said that freedom, once lost, is not easily regained.
By the way, many of today's younger people have barely heard of,
let alone read, George Orwell's
1984. I
would urge everyone to read it. In my opinion, it may be the most
important book of the twentieth century. At least three feature films
of it have been released. The latest has John Hurt as Winston Smith
and Richard Burton as Inner Party member O'Brien.
Senator Rand Paul is one of the too-few legislators who believes
in the U.S. Constitution. We are allowing our protections to erode.
When voting for Senators and Congressmen,
we must pay attention to their voting records on important issues and
choose accordingly. The liberty issue is one that overrides the
temporary political controversies of the day. It can be seen that
serious votes and events are taking place which the mainstream media
will not report on, or, if they do, it's with a minimum of mention.
How many of the issues Senator Paul speaks of have been covered
significantly in the MSM?
The trends are clear. Big Brother is already watching!
