The Slavery of Totalitarian Rule

I don’t need to be governed and guided nor dictated to by some bureaucrat that thinks their view of the world is superior to mine.

I can defiantly do without anyone telling me what I must believe and what I must accept as normal.

I do not need a government dictating my level of benevolence.

The government has no place in taking from one to give to another.

The function of Federal government should be limited to affairs of State, National defense and coining our currency; all the rest resides with the People and each State.

I do not believe that marriage should be defined beyond one man and one woman.

Homosexuality and lesbianism is an abomination and I am not interested in it being taught to my children or grandchildren as an acceptable alternative life style that is normal behavior.

I do not need the government attempting to force me into being a dependent of the state to coerce me into buying anything they determine will be good for me like Obamacare. What is next, a daily vitamin dictated to make me healthier in a bureaucrats view?

I do not need a government, instituted by We the People to protect our rights, attempt to exercise a power not granted, to dictate to me my behavior and beliefs. This is not the function of the government of a free people; it is the function of emperors, dictators, royalty, despots, tyrants that feel that they own the population.

I am not cattle to be prodded into a tyrannical pen.

I am a free man and will not live in a totalitarian state.

There is no place to go to re-establish a new free society; our freedom must be retained here and now.

It all comes down to the government and the government we created was for a free people; the government our elected are returning to us is in violation of the trust we placed in them when we elected them.

Where do our elected think their power grab to totalitarianism will take us all?

Do they think they can disarm us? Do they think all of us will cower in hopes of being left unharmed by the brute force of governmental tyranny?

An unknown to me author said, “I came into this world kicking and screaming and covered with blood, I don’t mind leaving the same way.” It was said as a response to tyranny.

Our elected are forcing our hand; they are and have been eroding our freedom for a long time through exceeding their granted authority. Our choices are being reduced daily and it is coming down to freedom or the slavery of totalitarian rule.
