They openly war against our Bill of Rights…and Us!

It is no longer confined to “conspiracy” coffee clatches and scorned websites, government IS openly speaking of disposing of our God-given Bill of Rights. Fascist pundits are boldly attacking the First and Second Amendments, openly screaming in the mainstream media for confiscation of our firearms and jailing dissenters. Some of the “progressives” brazenly urge Obama to use presidential powers to act as dictator!
 
It is not just Senator Diane Feinstein and New York City’s mayor, Michael Bloomberg, stumping for legislation to outlaw our guns and ammo with no grandfather rights.
 
The New York Times ran an Op-Ed Dec. 30th, by Georgetown constitutional law professor Louis Michael Seidman, saying it was time to “Scrap the Constitution”! Seidman said the US Constitution was “archaic, idiosyncratic, and downright evil,” and responsible for a “dysfunctional” government. He urged “disobedience” as a revolutionary American way to bring about a new, unspecified, legal foundation for government. He said America’s Founding Fathers were behind the times and increasingly irrelevant to today’s needs.
 
Donald Kaul, in the Des Moines Register, in another screed Dec. 30th, urged the “repeal of the Second Amendment”! Kaul even suggested the National Rifle Association should be outlawed and gun owners objecting to gun confiscation should be killed! Kaul also said legislators dissenting against such draconian measures should “be dragged behind a pickup truck”! He said he was “all for prying the guns from their cold, dead, fingers.”
 
Major publishers and broadcasters are spreading this shrill, lethal, hatred! These are only two examples among many. They play upon emotions rather than logic to whip unwitting dupes into a frenzy of mobocracy! The elitists are hell-bent-for-leather on denying us any means of defending ourselves against deranged lunatics, common criminals, the coming tyranny of a fascist empire’s iron-fisted dictator!
 
When evil crashes through your door, a gun in hand is always better than a cop on the phone! Especially if the evil is in a state-issued uniform, as it was in Nazi Germany, in Stalin’s USSR, Mao’s Red China, or Pol Pot’s Cambodia. If you are paying attention, you know the same socialist evil is brewing here in the USA. Whether it is the national socialism of the fascists, or the international socialism of the communists, it is all bad. The two constitute a pincers movement driving us into the enslaving New World Order in which our constitution and our Christian American Heritage of Truth, Justice, and Liberty for All is stone cold dead! Most Democrats and Republicans are socialists of one kind or another, which is why libertarian Congressman Ron Paul was stonewalled at every turn.
 
Professor Seidman is correct in citing the American heritage of disobedience and revolution to chart a new political course, but he is urging a leftist takeover that Vladimir Lenin would approve. I look more to Jesus Christ in the Holy Bible, and to Thomas Jefferson’s writings, such as the Declaration of Independence.
I thank evangelist Ted R. Weiland for his pamphlet, Firearms Scripturally Defended, in which he cites our God-given rights to defend ourselves individually and collectively. He cites I Samuel 13:19-22 recording how the Philistines had destroyed and banned all the blacksmithing in Israel in order that the Israelites might not be armed with any swords or spears to stand with King Saul against the giants. You can find Weiland’s works at his website, Mission to Israel.
 
Jesus Christ told his disciples to purchase swords in Luke 22:36, despite the Roman law prohibiting civilian possession of swords! What would Jesus do in our circumstances?
 
We are reminded in Matthew 24:43 and Luke 11:21, that we should be watchful and a “strong man armed keepeth his goods.” Of course, Revelation 13:10 warns us that “he that killeth (murder) with the sword must be killed with the sword.” It is a scriptural teaching that offense is prohibited, defense is a duty. Yes, “Thou shalt not kill” is one of God’s Ten Commandments, but that implies a right not to be killed, a right to defense.
 
We who serve as a “watchman on the wall” have sounded the alarm. Obama’s minions are coming for our guns. Read Senator Diane Feinstein’s proposed anti-gun bill if you have not yet done so. The Illinois legislature is now presented a bill proposing to outlaw all semi-automatic firearms and pump shotguns also… with no grandfather rights and gun confiscation being mandatory! Our cries of Second Amendment, First Amendment, or ANY constitutional rights will fall on deaf ears. Recall the presidency claims the right to arrest, detain, torture, or kill anyone, anytime, anyplace, with no due process and not even a need to ever explain what happened. Congress signed off on this tyranny!
 
It is time to bar the door with a gun at the ready, a time to be praying and watchful, a time of great danger, treason and brutality. Some in police and military environs report troops are being trained to “put down” American people! Why? Be warned! Be ready. Be armed. Something evil this way comes!
