When Barack H. Obama was a candidate for President I researched his background and saw that he was a committed Marxist. At the time I wrote that if he became President that we would see unprecedented removal of personal liberty and freedom and growth of the central government along with increased control by that central government over our lives. I received a lot of scorn from people on The Right. I got email along the lines of “you make me ashamed to be a conservative”.
Now, barely two years after the election of Barack H. Obama to the Presidency of the United States, we see that both the 1st and 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution are under all-out attack from forces on The Left who are no doubt emboldened by the election of this Marxist-at-heart President and the success that he has had in imposing his will on the US. The “Stimulus”, OBamaCare, and “Quantitative Easing” are but three examples of the fundamental change that Barack H. Obama promised to deliver. While the full cost of this fundamental change is yet to be paid, rest assured that the United States is on a collision course with the yet unrealized consequences of blindly accepting the imposition of Marxist ideology from within our own government.
Now, after the recent much-publicized shooting in Arizona where a US District Judge was murdered and a US Representative was seriously injured and several other citizens were murdered and injured as well, The Left has revealed that they have swung the gun of the shooter into their own hands and aimed it at the Freedom of Speech and Assembly and also at the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. These rights are contained in the 1st and 2nd Amendments to the Constitution. If they are removed then the fundamental basis of the United States as a Constitutional Republic will be removed as well.
Can a single mentally-ill person with a gun do this? No, but an entrenched Leftist Media along with well-placed elected officials and appointed judges can get the job done. We have already seen, especially with ObamaCare, that the US Government is willing to ignore The Constitution. Those who are elected to be servants have assumed instead the mantle of rulers. Now, the push is on to remove the Freedom of Speech and the Right to Bear Arms as the result of a manufactured crisis built on the basis of a regrettable, but local, tragedy.
If these two fundamental building blocks of the US Constitution are removed, then the rest of it will collapse like a house of cards.
