American Volunteerism

As things and events proceed with this administration, we are all beginning to see just exactly what the Liberals have been telling us all the time.
That they have every intention of tearing down and effectively destroying that American way of life. They are hard at work gutting American traditions and institutions, which, for better or worse, are at the bedrock of America..
Which is not to say “the United States”.
America and its citizens, despite the propaganda, are not the United States government. As anyone who has tangled with the IRS or any of the other alphabet agencies can tell you.
This government, for the past hundred plus years, has had very little concern about its citizens (read as subjects). It has stolen land, freedom, civil rights, lives with abundant disregard for either their own laws or the rights of its victims.
Americans, the actual people of this country, are the most giving and volunteering people on the face of the earth. This is evidenced virtually every day by their actions is response to emergencies and disasters all around the globe. And they continue to volunteer for Armed Forces and other volunteer organizations across the country in record numbers, only partly driven by the current economy.
In truth, Americans volunteer by the thousands regardless of the economic ebb and flow. They volunteer for disaster relief efforts around the world, not just their time and their safety, but cash and goods as well. Without seeking reward other than the feeling of doing good.
Where the government, in similar circumstances, is more inclined to look for the benefit to itself or its image. And, as proven by the response to Hurricane Katrina, fairly incompetent at the job at hand.
Riddled by programs run by incomptetents, bleeding graft, and overseen by preening politicians seeking publicity for themselves, the government has itself generated the oxymoron, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
Our government “of the people, by the people and for the people,” has grown into a tyranny of bureaucracies. One after another, seeking to deprive supposed “citizens” of their money, property, and rights, these bureaucracies are operated by faceless, anonymous and therefore untouchable entities, protected by the courts and the weight of government muscle.
The alphabet agencies are dedicated to the virtual opposite of their mandates.
The ATF, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, make their daily bread by denying the American public all of the above, directly violating their own charters and the Constitution of the United States, through outright seizure, oppressive taxation and propaganda painting all opponents of their pogroms as drug dealers, terrorists, organized crime or child pornographers/molesters.
The I.R.S.(Internal Revenue Service) seems dedicated to bankrupting and/or destroying everyone who doesn’t have enough to pay for the high end CPA or tax lawyer.
The DEA, Drug Enforcement Agency, has apparently dedicated itself to ignoring the actual “drug lords” while rounding up literally millions of drug users. Jails in the United States are filled with people serving incredibly long sentences for possession and/or use of drugs. Street level dealers who are mostly doing nothing more than trying to support their own habits. Or make a few bucks on the side. And it IS comparatively a very few bucks, after looking at some of the money shipments accidentally found and confiscated by the actual good cops in the Coast Guard or Border Patrol.
It is not the individual officers, the rank and file, who are to blame, most are dedicated to the concept of “to protect and to serve, but the bureaucracies in which they find themselves entrenched and under the command of self-serving and disinterested politicians or other bureaucrats with agendas of their own.
And now, the Patriot Act, while virtually gutting what is left of the practical Constitution, has given us the Department of Homeland Defense. An Agency that is the Washington Bureaucrats dream, answering to no one outside of the White House, Above the Constitution, outside the jurisdiction of the courts, as if any judge would commit professional suicide by thwarting them.
They trample the rights of American citizens on a daily basis, under the guise of “fighting terrorism”, which even if they were serious about it, they can’t do now, because the Liberals are working in “Newspeak” to change the definitions of the very terms and language to make terrorists, real terrorists, into “victims” and victims into blind, faceless, nonhuman statistics
. This dehumanization of the victims of government actions is not new to this government or even this administration. It goes back hundreds of years.
The History Channel recently ran a program about genocides through recent history.
Communist Russia killed untold millions of their people under the Soviet Regime, from Lenin’s progroms to Stalin and later.
Communist China under Mao killed nearly 15 million of their own trying to get failing communist ideals to work in an agrarian society.
Laos, Cambodia, VietNam, several African nations engaging in tribal warfare, Bosnia and Croatia. It is a very long list of sitting governments and leaders, many of whom current Liberals idolize( including Obama) who had no problem either killing or allowing to die through neglect, millions and millions of THEIR OWN PEOPLE.
Do not fool yourselves into believing it could not happen here. It has already happened, though on a small scale. And, of course, the government got to put their own spin on such events when they happened.
A short list.
Agent Orange; radiation and chemical testing in New York subways and elsewhere; blind LSD tests w/out the knowledge of the participants; the syphilis test in Muskogee on AfricanAmericans; agent provocateurs in the civil unrest of the 60’s; marching soldiers into the desert in Nevada to test radiation exposure and its effects on healthy humans, who happened to be wearing uniforms.
There are many more incidents, the discovery of each was followed by complete denial in the face of damning evidence, or by abject apology and the promise of “Never again.”
All the while they move the projects to another location under a different name, and, possibly, different personnel, to give the appearance of compliance.

Do Not Fool Yourselves! It Can Happen Here. It has happened here. It is happening here.
