Keep sights on liberty

As important as the economy is, it is down the list when it comes to some of our basic rights. It seems many of us need to be reminded that the people are supposed to be in charge of the government, not vice versa.

Our current government obviously enjoys being in charge of us because of its aggressiveness in a myriad of ridiculous impositions such as gambling away our national security, stifling our religious beliefs, destroying our health care options, and treasonable back door actions through the United Nations that threaten gun bans and other obtuse regulatory rules.

Finally, guns. Ban them, and all the other issues don’t matter. King George III, in 1776, didn’t like the idea we had them. Our current king doesn’t like them either because he can’t pull off his scam with its citizens still in control. The Second Amendment checks government, leaving it in control of us, so we can make the decisions on all of the above.

So liberal brothers, are you going to keep what you have, or give your gun rights and everything else up to the king for another four years, or more?
