David Brownlow -- Why Send Tanks if Limos Work Better

WHY SEND TANKS IF LIMOS WORK BETTER

The �out of my cold, dead hands� crowd seems to be alive and well in America. A common theme from the deluge of email I got over �THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS ALREADY DEAD,� was a variation of, �Well, you just wait and see. When they push us too far, America�s 80 million gun owners and former military men will step up to the plate and take care of some business.�

My response to that is, �Oh really? And just when would that be?� What outlandish government intrusion will it take before the sleeping masses wake up and realize that our country has been stolen from us? Are we waiting for an M1 tank to come driving up our street before we will get off our rear ends? Will it take bombs going off in our neighborhoods in order for us to realize that something is terribly wrong with this once great republic?

Be assured, the occupation forces that have seized power in Washington may be ruthless, but they are certainly not stupid. Why should they use anything as messy as tanks to enslave us when limos work better?

They figured out that we will commit our full 100% obedience to their madness � the wars, the exploding budgets and deficits, the abortions, the fake money, the income confiscations, the tyrannical courts, the oppressive regulations, the 100,000 armed federal police, the snooping into nearly every facet of our lives - as long as the bribery continues to flow in the form of jobs, cars, sports, houses, vacations, toys, booze, porn and cable TV. It�s the best slavery money can buy!

Tanks in our streets? Who needs them? They sent limos up to our doorsteps and we climbed right in � grabbing up the bribes, paid for with our own money! Bombs blowing up our neighborhoods? Heck no! They've got us standing in line begging them for permission to tie the knot of our own noose!

Many are obviously clinging to the false hope that there is some government absurdity yet to occur that will get the �80 million gun owners� riled up enough to fight back. However, that does not appear to be very likely. We have moved the line in the sand so many times our occupiers just laugh at us.

A short list of the government crimes we have ignored:

The President drags us into war based on a complete pack of lies. Tens of thousands die, nearly half a trillion dollars are squandered, and our reputation around the world is completely trashed. Many call Bush a good Christian man and re-elect this wolf in sheep�s clothing to a second term.
Through the media, our government pumps out propaganda, lies and silly little, �freedom isn�t free� slogans 24 hours a day. We refuse to turn off our TVs, taking in whatever garbage they decide to shovel out.
Many questions remain over the identity of those responsible for planning the 9/11 attacks. (Go to Google and type in �WTC 7�) The response? More laws, more regulations, more armed federal agents, more government snooping, less freedom - for the American people!
We are told we must have a government ID (Social Security, Drivers License, etc.) in order to: get a job, drive a car, board an airplane, buy a gun, get a credit card, check into a hotel, use a cell phone, or go to the bank. We willingly take �The Mark.�
To avoid the threat of arrest if caught carrying a handgun without a license, we pay for a background check, get finger printed and photographed � only to end up on every police agency�s �A� list.
The IRS, the collection agency of the IMF, intimidates Americans into signing documents (the 1040) swearing allegiance to the international bankers. We sign our lives away under fear of arrest.
We stand sheepishly by and say nothing while TSA agents at airport �security� checkpoints fondle our women and children.
Our government has become the chief protection arm of a legalized child-killing industry that has murdered almost 50,000,000 members of our future generation. Our response? We write letters to our Congressman.
Nearly 85 cents of every dollar Congress steals from the American people is spent for unconstitutional, and therefore illegal, programs. The only purpose this serves is to support a bloated federal government that, by almost any measure, is spinning wildly out of control. We huff and puff a little, but keep sending in the money � and we vote the criminals back into office!
In 2004, we were allowed to �choose� between two warmongering, big-government-loving communists for President. 99% of those who voted played along with the scam.
Government schools brainwash our children with paganism and pro-sex programming. Millions and millions of Christian families whole-heartedly allow their children to be herded into in these indoctrination centers � and willingly pay for it!
The Federal Reserve, a private company owned by foreign and national banks, prints fake money called the �Federal Reserve Note� � which they loan to us through member banks at confiscatory rates. All we are asked for in return is a major portion of our labor and treasures. We are willing participants in this grand larceny.
Churches are licensed under the guise of incorporation. They agree not to be involved in the political process or influence government policy in return for the 501C payoff. We willing attend and give to these government churches so we can get the tax write-off.
The federal government orders the removal of a Ten Commandments statue from an Alabama state courthouse. What do we do about it? We stand back in silence as the statue is wheeled away. Not even one of the skulking, delusional losers we have elected to Congress bothered to show up to protest this federal outrage.
The Social Security Ponzi scheme is broke and trillions in debt. Yet, we keep �investing� in the phony �trust fund.� We should send an apology to all the former Enron executives and let them out of jail. Those guys were amateurs compared to the bunch that drove Social Security into the ground.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans are dragged before kangaroo courts to be jailed for non-violent and political �crimes.� Our response? We pay for more jails to be built.
An FBI sniper blows the head off of an unarmed Vicki Weaver as she stands in her doorway holding a baby. We knew exactly where her murderers were hiding for many days while they were stalking the surviving members of her family. What did we do about it? We let the FBI walk away from their murders. Add Waco and any number of other atrocities.

Americans like to talk the talk, but our recent history tells a different story. We have become a nation of fearful, obedient, government-educated servants who have sat back and done nothing while our heritage - and our country � has been stolen from us.

Take a look at the �long train of abuses� over which our founders started a revolution. Those abuses pale in comparison to the ones we allow our government to impose on us today. We have squandered the blood and sweat of those who fought and died for our freedom.

Is it too late to fix this? It is if we keep waiting for the tanks to show up before we will get off the couch. It�s too late if we keep saying yes to the taxman every time he threatens us. It is definitely too late if we keep getting into the limo every time it shows up to drop off our bribes.

We need to make an honest assessment of the perilous condition of our freedom. We need to understand that freedom means more that being able to choose which house to buy, which cable channel to watch, which brand of beer to buy, or where to go on our next vacation.

The hour is late, very late. But if we are willing to repent before God for the sins of our nation, and regain the spirit of independence and self-sacrifice upon which this country was founded, there may still be time to pull this one out of the fire.
