I am sick and tired of people who call you unpatriotic if you debate this administration’s policies. We are Americans and have the right to participate and debate any administration. ~ Hillary Clinton, April 29, 2003

The above statement should be read with a loud, piercing, shrill voice.

“By calling attention to ‘a well regulated militia’, the ’security’ of the nation, and the right of each citizen ‘to keep and bear arms’, our founding fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny which gave rise to the Second Amendment will ever be a major danger to our nation, the Amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country. For that reason, I believe the Second Amendment will always be important.”
John F. Kennedy, April 1960

“Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom." -- John F. Kennedy

In the past, on numerous occasions, I have heard the argument presented that we don’t need firearms to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government because our government, the federal government of the United States would never turn against us.

I have heard it said that gun owners are paranoid to believe that our federal government would turn against us.

Well, I have to say that now our so-called paranoia has been justified.

I believe it is safe to say that the federal government has officially become the tyrannical government that we warned about.

The Department of Homeland Security, Office of Intelligence and Analysis has put out a report, titled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment," which, I dare say, defines half of the country as radical extremists whose activity must be monitored to ensure the safety of the country.

After all the condemnations from the socialist liberals on the left about government spying on citizens of the United States, these same socialists, now in power, are using that very power to spy on citizens of the United States. And we’re not talking about naturalized people, we’re talking about Americans born and raised here. We’re talking about people who have sacrificed in the military to defend our freedom.

We now have the most liberal, socialist person ever in the White House. Congress is controlled by socialist liberals and they intend to make the most of it.

If you support the Constitution and the Bill of Rights of the United States, including the 1^st, 2^nd and 10^th Amendments; if you object to an ever growing out of control government; if you have conservative or libertarian beliefs on certain social issues, you may consider yourself to be a radical extremist.

Consider yourself on notice.
