As I go through my day and keep up on the news as I do I have come to the conclusions that life is imitating art.  For those of you who remember there were lyrics of our time.  The lyrics "Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the Right, Here I am stuck in the Middle"  I listened as the left pulled out the old cliches at the most recent conference.  I am appalled at the plans made by the Democrats for America.  At this rate there will be a chicken in every pot and a mule and 40 acres promised before this is over.  I watch as the Congress plays out with the same tune that the Riechstag played prior to the emergence of Hitler and the Russian Duma prior to the October Revolution.  As we all remember niether of those situations worked out.  We have Hillary spouting Marxism and The Democrats calling for social security for illegal immigrants.  We have a border war in Arizona everyone including Senator McCain is Ignoring and a terrorist network using the courts to institute Sharia Law.  This has already been done in Canada and they are attempting to do so here under the guise of religious freedom.  So I look and bewildered that the American People sit back and do nothing. 

There are those who truly wonder about the survival of the USA as a Constitutional Republic.  I am one of those.  As a soldier I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution from all enimies both foriegn and DOMESTIC.  Is Hillary's call for nationalization of oil companies an attack on the Constitution?  Is Sen.  Kerry's violation of the UCMJ an attack against the Constitution?  Is the refusal to protect our soverign borders and attack against the Constitution?  Is the extension of the 9th District court into the private lives of citizens an attack?  And if such items are attacks against the Constitution it is our duty as citizens to defend against such attacks.  So far the rebuttals have all been in a verbal form.  But as was said by one commentator when will the bullets start flying? 

In this which was the Greatest Nation on Earth we are being torn apart.  Recently I discussed the concept of social upheaval and the idea of secular humanism with an athiest.  My reply was that if the basis is if it feels good do it and that you have a right to do what you choose to do without government constraint then there was no reason not to shoot this man where he stood.  It was amazing that when taken to the rational extreme the secular humanist theory falls apart.  It is in God we Trust not the Government and or leaders need to be reminded that if they choose to ignor history the people as Thomas Jefferson so blatantly put it "have a responsibility to remove by force that government which is disavowing the Constitution"  Jefferson thought that we would have another revolution in 100 years at most.  We did only because it was defeated it was called the Civil War and Lincoln change history of this Great Republic.  Turning it from a representative democracy into a Republic and abolish the idea of States Rights.

Now we again stand at a cross roads.  There are clowns to the left of me and Jokers to the right.  I am glad I own a gun.
