Inexcusable abuses of Government

These abuses far exceed the abuses that drove our Founding Fathers to note that there come times "in the course of human Events" in which "it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another" in order to provide for the safety and rights of the people. Listed below are Acts which are 1) Unconstitutional and 2) Immoral. Those of us that believe in man's inalienable rights have, not the right but the duty to oppose injustice, be it legal or illegal. Law cannot create rights, Government cannot create rights, it can only protect rights or encroach upon them. Please take note of these abuses and contact your representatives in congress accordingly.
If we do not fight for Freedom, we cannot call ourselves Americans.

And this just one current abuse and two potential abuses (which will be actual as soon as they are passed into law). I could go all day with further abuses, but I haven't got the time.

I really, really, really wish I could just stop talking about politics. I wish I could just blog about something else for a change. But I can't do that (I haven't got the energy) when I see my freedom and my future leaping farther our of reach every single day.

Call me a pessimist, tell me I'm over-reacting if you like, but unless we truly keep our government in check, we must live with the reality that we (or our children) may be the victims of an American holocaust in the future. If you think that's a foolish statement, you haven't studied history. And you know what they say...those that don't know history are doomed. To repeat it.

I wish I could blog about something happy every once in a while...but Congress doesn't let me.
