ANOTHER MASSACRE?

For 7 years, the American colonists saw red everywhere they looked. British troops had taken over their towns. Colonists had put up with increasing taxation, being spied on and having their normal, day-to-day lives scrutinized. One cold night in Boston in 1775, an altercation turned deadly and before it was over British troops had shot and killed five colonists. That was a turning point. By then the gloves were off and those who lived in the new world were ready to fight for freedom. Some thought it would be best to just let King George and his army increase taxes and restrictions unchecked. Others knew fighting back was the only way they would stand a chance of securing freedom for themselves and their children. As British subjects, the colonists were fighting for their freedom against their own government!

The antagonism that had been growing ever since the British sent armies to occupy towns and enforce more tax burdens led to the American Revolution.



In 2009, we face a similar situation. We can choose to stand up to increasing government tyranny or we can consider ourselves subjects who had best just take the path of least resistance.

In a matter of days, we will watch as a man who is doubtless not even eligible to be president takes office. He will swear to uphold the same Constitution he has so often spat upon through his contempt for its intent and disregard for its restraints.

Those who have been paying attention know that Barack Obama’s stated plans include unprecedented battering of the 2nd Amendment. That is in addition to what critics have called a “tax rampageâ€

It is going to get so bad that the unborn child is not going to be on the radar screen.

I hope people are preparing for the inevitable which is a fight against our own Gov. They will try to take our guns religion and freedom away from us. But I pray there are still some Americans left in this country and we will stand up against the Marxist which now control our Gov and both partys.

I disagree with her outlook. Conservatives need to do a LOT of soul searching about why they lost this last election so badly, and then plot a comeback (and the pendulum WILL swing because it always does) that is based on Main Street and ordinary Americans, not Wall Street and helping the rich get richer.

Not near enough empowered Americans Left to take on the government! And don't forget the rest of the world that wants Americans to suffer and would ally with our govt to help fight off the people.

I COULDN'T VOTE FOR OBAMA! I ALSO FEEL THAT WE, THE MIDDLE CLASS, ARE IN DEEP SHIT WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT HIM & HIS ADMINISTRATION ARE ABOUT TO DO! AMERICANS HAVE TURNED INTO FREAKIN JELLO!!! WE'RE LOSING OVER 2.5 MILLION JOBS A YEAR & THIS SOON TO BE OBAMA-NATION OPENING THE BODERS UP, MAN ARE WE BEING CHUMPED!!! WE NEED TO MAKE A STAND & ORDER THIS CONGRESS TO GIVE US, AMERICANS, THE TRILLIONS BETWEEN THE T.A.R.P. & STIMULUS $'s. WE WILL STUMULATE OUR OWN ECONOMY. THEN, GVRNMNT, STAY OUT OF OUR POCKETS!!

Obama is not even in office yet. I would remind us all that for the last 8 years, Bush and his rich cronies have been in the driver's seat and during that time we lost millions of jobs, wages stagnated, and all these financial shenanigans took place, also the loss of what we thought were our freedoms under the pretence of fighting terrorism. Many Americans probably figured that Obama could do no worse.

I am not sure about that. If Obama gives out amnesty, it will be the end of America. It could get much, much worse. It will be up to us to follow in the footsteps of our forefathers.(MOD EDIT)
