THE "GRADUAL &
SYSTEMATIC EROSION"
OF
YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS
by Ralph F. Mariano
Its been said...
"Place a high tax
on guns and ammunition! When professionals, fully trained and in
the line of duty, cannot be sure of holding their own against
criminals with guns, what chance do civilians have?"
.... a concerned citizen.
While the posture and stance
of control through "taxation until it hurts" premise is
appreciated, as a freedom loving American, I must disagree. One
basic fact must be brought forward at this time.. this country was
founded as a direct result of a tax rebellion for the very same
reasons. Evidently, there's a 'hidden wish' to begin another.
Also, in quoting from the above remark ...one must reply, Take the
only substantive "chance at survival" civilians will
have against criminals, STREET or GOVERNMENT, away and they'll
HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE AT ALL! Isn't this fact obvious in the
least or, is it totally obscured by a misguided "pie in the
sky" Utopian vision of Happy Happy, Joy Joy?
History has proven many
times over how regulation is gradually misapplied to suit the
selfish, misguided needs of the governing few. Its happening now
on almost every continent. The aristocracy of Europe was against
the printing press because it gave the masses a method of
spreading information rapidly and introduced the learning of
reading skills to the peasants. The Big Whigs were against an
"informed populace". One might suppose the government
was feeling "threatened". The beautiful and very
peaceful country of Switzerland is a prime example of guns for
peace and serenity. Every household is REQUIRED to have at least
one gun.
THE "PRESIDENTIAL
HOPEFULS, BLEEDING HEARTS and FEAR MONGERS" have long touted
the removal of guns from the possession of the "law-abiding,
little guy".... they've also made scapegoats of both the
Hollywood Film Making Industry and the National TV Networks. Let's
NOT forget the terrible slamming the TV video game manufacturers
endured at the hands of a few "grandstanding, attention
hungry" politicians. The politicians blamed the video game
companies for, the more imagined than truly perceived,
ruthlessness of today's youth.
The "Self-Proclaimed
Elected Professionals" in both the Congress and the Senate
negligently but diligently burn up thousands of your tax dollars *
per hour * playing head games attempting to demonstrate to the
American Public; "they're doing their job" by holding
absurd hearings about whether or not TV video games are too
violent and therefore, should be "strictly regulated".
At the same time Dole jumps up hammering Hollywood obviously
attempting to win the "Moral Majority's backing. He blew it
big time. The entire nation saw right through that ploy. The real
truth is... These politicians NEED to be REGULATED! Respectfully,
I submit; they are not doing their jobs at all! They must address
the real social and economic problems facing this country as a
nation at once. Stop the smoke and mirrors rhetoric! They must
take the first big step by pushing for the Restoration the Basic
American Family Structure now!
A far better suggestion;
They should look at the manner in which the US Government has
inadvertently managed to do everything (ongoing at this time) in
its power to destroy the basic building block of a strong moral,
law abiding, society... THE AMERICAN FAMILY!
The "professional
politicians" in governments, (National, State and Local),
appear to have placed exceedingly deleterious HRS programs into
action. Also, it appears these programs are designed to;
"Weaken the American Family, promote continued poverty,
encourage further dependency on all sorts of welfare programs (the
Government control factor) and finally, to further institute
stronger inroads (Courts and HRS) into the rearing and teaching of
all children exactly the way the government sees fit for its
future. Thereby completely eliminating ANY real need for the
strong foundational Family Influence. In decades to come, such
practices will make it extremely easy for any type of "total
control" government to completely manipulate an entire
population from "the Womb to the Tomb".
Take a good look, a real
good look. The government has, for all intents and purposes,
driven the housewife and mother out into the general workforce.
Propaganda has called such "urgings" equality. When in
fact, its a matter of pure economic survival. The children,
unfortunately, are left to deal with growing up pretty much by
themselves. This is happening now! This is one of the truly
genuine causes of the social problems we are experiencing
(suffering with) today.
We, as an educated
responsible electorate, must send a very loud and clear message to
these so called "representatives of and by the people"
that we are sick and tired of their arrogant disregard of their
oath of office and wanton lack of representing us. They must
either change to a true, representative form of government or
plainly put, get voted OUT.
The "wonderful and
benevolent" governments, both State and Federal, brazenly
turns a blind eye and a permissive head when it comes to the
majority of everyday workplace jobs being labeled
"part-time" by greedy employers aiming to thwart the laws put
on the books during more sensible times when the population's
wishes were seen to by responsible government at every level.
During a time when making a living, earning medical benefits,
enjoying overtime and job security were prime factors in the
American work place. Today, its a simple greedy matter of
"build the tax base" ...get them all working... even if
its only for minimum wage and part time. By the time the
"thieves" in Congress and the Senate are weeded out and
the "injustices" being perpetrated against the Bill of
Rights and middle America are exposed and corrected, two
generations of Americans will have been exploited to the extreme.
The American Family, as we
once proudly knew it as a solid building block of society and a firm
teaching foundation of true morals and common decency, will be
nothing more than a fond memory. Mom, Apple Pie etc.. (The Norman
Rockwell view) are but mere memories today. In fact, many
politicos scoff at and make insulting jokes of the Rockwell
perception.
Still, there are those who
insist upon allowing themselves to be focused on the
"so-called" deep evil of guns by the crafty politicians
who really don't want your attention focused upon the very real
underlying problems of today. Namely; poor governments, crooked
politicians and bad cops who constantly make our lives miserable
every day in one way or another. It is still an irrefutable fact
that an inanimate object cannot possibly be evil. Only the
implementation of such objects can be. Thus, only the human
implementer can be evil. Take a look at the REAL causes of
lawlessness in this country today. The young folks of today are
growing up watching the "priests, politicians, police and
just about every other segment of the 'respected leadership' of
society being exposed for the moral cripples, mental debilitates
and criminals they are revealing themselves to be. Why? That is
the real question. Because they too, at this time, are a product
of the very same thing they are accused of.
Government must be cleaned
up before the general population can be expected to begin to do
so. Government must set the prime example before the nation's
citizen's can be asked or required to do the same. A young person
living in a cold water flat when its 10 degrees below outside
while observing a local politico blowing thousands of dollars on
"Fact finding" missions while traveling in the lap of
comfort and luxury. People are tired of being fed the nonsense by
small minded politicians about Hollywood, TV, video games and
dead-end gun control lawmaking. These facetious attempts to garner
support through exercises in political chicanery doesn't make it
any more ..at all. Those young people seeing crooked and corrupt
politicians like the Clintons, Browns, Packwoods and
Rostenkowskies getting away with everything, short of murder, are being taught well about good government. Sooner or, later
those
youngsters are going to get their "fair share" one
way or another. Take away the guns, institute curfews, do
whatever.. they'll find another way to do what they feel is right
for them. Much as its happening now. The real fix is to re-teach
government the family is the strongest factor in building a
strong, law abiding America with solid morals and a true sense of
caring for each other.
Society is going through
great upheavals of turmoil and has been for the last three
decades. Partially as a direct result of the Warren Commission and
its obvious whitewash of the MURDER of President John Fitzgerald
Kennedy, (the most grievous of hurts of that decade and a time
when a solid American social structure began to completely
crumble). Then came the MURDERS of Robert Kennedy and Martin
Luther King. Finally, Nixon's admissions of guilt after being
caught in the Watergate Scandal put the public trust of government
completely in "the toilet". As a result, the public's
trust in government big or small, began failing in catastrophic
proportions and has yet to begin to improve. Since that tragic
beginning, truly monumental and catalytic events in American
History, the true fundamental building blocks of a solid moral
social structure has and is being methodically destroyed by poor
government, crooked politicians, poorly trained and totally inept
law enforcement officials and a decaying, decadent welfare system.
The incidences of Law
Enforcement Officials facing provable brutality, opportunistic
abuses of certain laws, acting outside the law and simply being
unfit and unsuitable has increased dramatically in the last two
decades. Its nothing new, its just being made more public in this
day and age. This is due primarily to the widespread use of video
cameras by the general public. Isn't it interesting how the
"lawyers" for the various government agencies involved
have hammered away at the actual validity of the videotape's
contents? (Rodney King, WACO, UTAH, Detroit etc..) They claim that
what you see plainly on the tapes is "not necessarily what is
actually happening". What will they say when the public uses the
same statements as a defense against government video tapes. IE.,
videotaped traffic stops etc., drug busts.?? Sadly enough, even
with the visibility and credibility of video tape, the
"Waco Massacre" still reeks of governmental abuse of
power, corruption, cover-up and complete ineptness.
In the past, the deniability
factors of such abuses were quite high. Now, fortunately with
video taping, its just the opposite. Yet, there are still those
who fervently wish to "render harmless" the law-abiding
public by, incredibly, disarming them! Next, they'll probably
propose a "National Identity Card" accompanied by
"instant data bank retrieval" access offered through the
"CARD". (How many remember the 1930's expression in
Europe; "Papers
Please!")
Watch out fellow Americans!
The basic Bill of Rights our Great Nation was founded upon is
being chipped away and eroded left and right ....yet people seem
to refuse to do or say much about it. Too bad they are in the
"don't rock the boat" syndrome. The GIs who fought in
Asia and Europe to eliminate "Group Punishment, Curfews,
Social Controls, Government Children Education Centers,
Re-Education Policies etc.. Better yet, they fought to eliminate
oppressive governments worldwide that had forgotten they were in
place TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE NOT RESENT
THEM.
Please take a good look at
what's really happening to our society today. Where is the family?
Where are the morals? What are the real causes of the horrible
tragedies we constantly read about? It is not perpetrated by a
gun, drugs, alcohol or any other inanimate object. It is the
horrible manifestation of the widespread frustration that middle
and lower segments of our society are being hammered by and
suffering from. Mostly at the hands of a woefully inadequate,
corrupt and totally failing government. Yes dear friends, please
...take a good look.
Now, we find many local
governments are clamoring about "trying something new"
CURFEWS!! Isn't it amazing how they all thought of putting curfews
to use at almost the same time? From Coast to Coast? Sounds like BIG BROTHER! There is absolutely
NOTHING NEW about curfews. Its an old world practice that was
popularized in the 1930's by NAZI Germany and solely used for
"general population control." The "learned,
seasoned professionals" (politicians & Police) are
trying, once again, to erode more of our civil rights under the
guise of "good for the majority". Sure, a curfew
"works." But then, so does the slaughter of an entire
chicken farm to eliminate poultry fever! The end has never
justified the means and ..it never will. Curfews are nothing more
than a passive method of group punishment allegedly aimed at
curing easily perceived social ills. Once the CURFEW is in place,
try to get it lifted as quickly as it was initiated. Please, think
about this curfew business very carefully. Once in place , a
curfew law can easily be expanded to "fit the needs of any
government", beneficial or ruthless. Its an extremely
dangerous precedent to set.. especially in large municipalities,
once Curfew Laws are on the books it will be bloody murder to get
the curfew laws removed. History has taught us that Curfew laws
are easily abused.
Today's CURFEW is for
teenagers ...tomorrow's CURFEW is for whom??
BRING BACK THE TRUE
AMERICAN FAMILY!
