My family gave me, what I feel, is a pretty healthy perspective on death. It was never hidden from me as a child, merely the last experience of life. Nor was I taught to seek out death through thrill seeking or any other means. I don't think I could ever be suicidal, as it is against my religion and I just don't think it's my style.I always hoped to meet the hour of my death with equanimity and hopefully be at peace with myself and my maker I think that's about all most of us can hope for.
Lately however I honestly have begun to fear that I will die MURDERED by my government dying with a pile of brass at my feet.. This is not paranoia, is not a conspiracy theory or a death wish. There are just too many inconsistencies in instances of my government trampling on the rights of the individual and what I see is an attempt to silence those who would in any way speak out against what appears to be a power grab of unprecedented proportions. The government has shown its interest of late in arming its civilian bureaus have only and searching for military leaders who are willing to make war on the civilian populace. This directly contravenes law and policy. The active military like the CIA is prohibited from operating inside United States borders.
The vets I know, both combat and administrative, agree with me and feel that we have been targeted as potential domestic terrorists and threats to the government. Not threats to national security, but threats to an administration who feels duty bound to trample on the Constitution and the amendments.
I would hope every individual, whether liberal or conservative would consider very carefully the actions of this president since his inauguration subsequent to his reelection. It was well publicized his comments to a foreign leader that he had to be careful before the election and after the election he would have a lot of options. I feel his heavy-handed tactics since his reelection bear this out, that he has designs on running the country by Fiat rather than by legal process. His use of Executive Order to circumvent an override constitutional law is a proven fact. What troubles me is Congress's refusal to put this in check. Executive order is illegal and useful tool for expediency. Executive order does not have the authority legally or constitutionally to override lots unless Congress and the people allow it to happen.
We now have a president who has sealed by "Executive Order" all of his personal information. It has taken nearly 4 years for information to surface outlining what these sealed records contain. I guess the most significant find is our president attended school as a foreign exchange student. This is only legal if you're a foreigner. Now here we have the quandary, either Obama is a foreigner and not eligible to be president of these United States; or he is in fact a citizen and defrauded the federal government on his student loans. You can't have it both ways.
This man appeared out of almost nowhere and was financed through invisible means that he will not divulge into national prominence so quickly has sued the file I get. The sad fact is is we pay more attention to the background of our soccer coaches in football coaches and Boy Scout leaders then we do to the man with whom we have entrusted our national heritage. This is madness. His confrontational attitude towards gun control to me is a beacon of his intent. It is obvious to even the least aware of the mechanics of gun control that his purposes are not to control crime, but to disarm a populace in such a manner as to make this populace absolutely defenseless against an increasingly aggressive government.
It has been pointed out time and time again that his policies and actions parallel those of such treasured people as Adolf Hitler, Lenin, the Chinese and a host of other dictators who have subjugated their people and murdered the populace en masse over the last 75 years.
It seems to be that anytime anybody criticizes Obama they are instantly deemed a racist by the liberal machine. Well I am not a racist. I do not like Mr. Obama because he is in my personal opinion not good for my country. There are a host of black men who would make excellent presidents of the United States and I would vote for them in a heartbeat. I have read that: Powell feels the Republican Party is racist towards him. While I am not a Republican I am a conservative and I would vote for: Powell and I disagree with him that Republicans are racist. It is quite probable that a number of the "good old boy" hierarchy of the GOP feel that way. I just find it is unfortunate that he chooses to throw the baby out with the bathwater in this particular instance, as I'm sure there are a great number of Republicans in fact probably the majority of Republicans who are not racist. I was saddened when all of the Democratic finger-pointing Herman Cain threw him out of the race, because of his infidelities. While on the other hand they continued to support Bill Clinton after his not only alleged but documented infidelities over time, and his lying to Congress and the American public about his infidelities and transgressions. Yet they seem to support them and "that was okay". He not only transgress but he lied. Seems to me the lie is what brought Nixon down and caused his resignation. Why one a conservative or Republican gets caught doing wrong, he is held to the letter of the law and forced to succumb to the outrage of the left. However when the left gets caught, it always seems to be okay. Sorry about that. The double standard these people adhere to is incredible.
