A Nation of Sheep

It seems that, more and more, we are starting to see news stories, laws, regulations, and Executive Orders become far less "sugary" than they used to be. Blatant attacks on our personal liberty like the NDAA and the Patriot Act should be like Drill Sergeants screaming in the face of the American people yet they don't wake up. The nation we call home has become full of blind sheep who accept whatever direction their government gives them as necessary to their survival and betterment of lifestyle. Our "shepherd", though, is not leading us to water, food or shelter. Our "trusted leaders" are leading us straight off the edge of the greatest cliff this world has ever seen.

A nation once able to be revered for it's fervor and passion in support of true liberty and with that liberty true security is now nothing more than a despotic egg cracking more and more each day as we wait to see which elected ruler pops his or her head out first. Who laid this egg? Some could argue that Abraham Lincoln was the beginning of the end for the United States. I particularly agree with this. Some could say that no one in particular began our dissent into tyranny but rather many men and women began adding the pieces. This egg of  despotism is near fruition and it is only a matter of a few more years of lazy Americans laying on their sofas mindlessly clicking remotes before it hatches.

Of course the change begins with us. It starts in our local offices and moves to our counties. From our counties it moves to our states and than to the Federal Government itself. We may never get out of this insurmountable debt that we have piled up since Andrew Jackson paid it off. We may never fully heal from the wars and invasions and acts of aggression against other nations we have committed. But we can try. We can get up do something. We can write online and make phone calls. We can talk to friends and run for office. We can volunteer and vote for what's right not popular. In the words of Dr. Ron Paul "Let it not be said that we did nothing." The time for change is now. The time for a Revolution was yesterday.
