Just as we were digging in to repel the assault on our Second Amendment rights from the Obama administration, the city of Boston suffered a horrendous and cowardly attack. Three people were killed, including an eight year-old boy. As historically happens when something like this occurs, American citizens were outraged and called for swift justice.
It's easy, when your emotions are going into overdrive, to act or call for action without taking the time to understand the consequences those actions may have later. Even the staunchest supporter of individual freedom is not immune to making hasty judgements when emotions are running high. People who would never dream of letting the authorities conduct a warrantless search of their home and property will gladly do so in a situation such as the one in Boston recently. Their reasoning is that this was a "special" situation.
Folks, I hate to tell you this, but there are no "special" situations. Sure, we all wanted those responsible for these heinous acts caught and put into custody, but surely this could have been accomplished without violating anyone's Constitutional rights. And putting a whole city the size of Boston in "lockdown" while conducting door-to-door searches of a 20 block area smacks of Fourth Amendment violations. Whether or not Posse Comitatus was violated or not is in question for right now, because Posse Comitatus does not apply to the National Guard under state authority from acting
in a law enforcement capacity within its home state or in an adjacent
state if invited by that state's governor. If other military agencies were involved, than the Act may have been violated.
Also, there is some question concerning the authorities' decision not to read the surviving suspect his Miranda rights, if indeed the suspect was an American citizen or in the country legally. If the suspect is indeed guilty, then I would be the first to call for a swift trial followed by firm punishment. But we cannot--repeat CANNOT--skip steps or ignore individual rights at our convenience. Doing this makes us no better than the tyrannical wannabes against whom we constantly--and rightfully--rally.
Regardless of whether or not events unfolded as we have been told, or whether this could simply be a false flag event orchestrated by factions of our own government, the powers that be seized the opportunity to test how far they could go in such circumstances. Though no one outside of Boston knows for sure exactly how the operations were handled, if even one person was forced to consent to a search under duress, then we have a problem. Possibly a much larger problem than Reid, Feinstein, and all the other buffoons who vowed to restrict our Second Amendment rights.
I ask that you all remain vigilant. Our rights are coming under attack from many fronts now. Please do not take this as an affront to our fine law enforcement personnel or the men and women of our military. Most of them carry out their duties with honor and dignity. It is the people at the top that we should be watching.
Forever watching.

Who Are The Real Radicals Here?
Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy recently sent a letter to Fox urging them not to air Saturday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race — because the NRA is sponsoring it. According to this idiot Murphy: “This celebration of guns is inappropriate in the immediate wake of the
Newtown massacre, but most importantly, broadcasting
this race, which will highlight the NRA and its radical agenda during
this time, sends a harmful signal to the families affected by gun
violence, as well as the millions of Americans who support sensible gun
control measures and enjoy your sports programming.”
So, the NRA and its five million members are radicals for wanting to protect our God given right to own guns. We're radicals because we respect the Constitution of the United States and have no desire to see it dismantled. We're a bunch of murderous delinquents because we have this silly notion that the Founding Fathers gave us the tools to protect our freedoms from a tyrannical government which would enslave us.
Not only that, we celebrate our guns. Malcontents such as Senator Murphy would have the public believing that we hold drunken orgies while praying to the graven image of an assault rifle, all the while dreaming of the next time our evil mechanisms of destruction will be used in the mass slaying of innocents.
Well folks, I propose that we are not the radicals. Here is the definition of a radical: A person who advocates thorough or complete political or social reform. We are not advocating reform; we want to keep our laws, traditions, and values exactly as the have always been throughout the history of our great nation. Murphy, Feinstein, Reid, Obama, and the rest are the ones seeking political and social change. Therefore, it is they who are the radicals. They are the ones endangering our Constitution, our country, and our very way of life.
We are many, but there's also many of them. And there are a lot of people in between, people that are too busy with their own lives to keep a close eye on current events. Many of them have no real opinion on gun ownership. They are not aware of the erosion of our personal liberties, and they will continue to be blissfully unaware until it's too late.
Unfortunately, the only information most of these people get is from the mainstream media, and those outlets focus only on what the radicals in power want them to. Is it surprising, therefore, that these people eye Patriots with suspicion and fear? After all, they've been told that we are dangerous, radical extremists. We are, at this very moment, planning the next Oklahoma City bombing. They are told that the only way the government can keep them safe is by restricting our access to firearms and by constant surveillance.
Probably the most frustrating part of being a Patriot is watching friends and family members swallow this garbage hook, line, and sinker. It has been said that he who controls the media controls the mind of the public, and that statement is true. Luckily for us, with the advent of the internet, the mainstream trash mills are no longer the only game in town. They're still the biggest game, granted, but we have avenues by which to get our message out.
Right now, we're fighting a two-front war. On one side, we must pressure our representatives to stand against the tyrannical power grabs of our central government. On the other side, we must rally to sway public opinion in our favor. Each task, by itself, is daunting. But the alternative is to risk losing everything our Nation stands for.
Talk to friends, co-workers, and family. Make them aware of alternative news agencies. Plant the seeds of doubt -- that maybe what they're hearing on the mainstream media isn't exactly the truth. Get them to read publications which offer opposing views to the rhetoric spouted by the radical politicians and their mouthpieces. Post often on social media sites, and give links to pages which back up your allegations. If each one of us, every day, could open the eyes of another person, we could stop these progressive hate mongers dead in their tracks.
We must show our fellow citizens who the radicals really are.

Gun Control: Immediate Action!
The Second Amendment to our Constitution is under attack. As North Korea threatens the United States with nuclear attack, our President is busy lobbying for gun control measures. This, if nothing else, should show you how serious he and the rest of the elite progressive liberals are about dismantling our Constitution and abolishing our personal freedom.
The time for action is upon us. Please, if you have never before been politically active, now is the time to do so. We have to make our voices heard. We must put pressure on our elected officials to stand against this unprecedented, tyrannical power grab. We must demand, as citizens of the United States of America, that our will be enforced.
Too often, we Americans are complacent and apathetic when it comes to being involved in our political process. Sure, we may vote, but often we see that action as the end of our democratic responsibility. But voting is only the first step. If we do not hold to the fire the feet of our elected representatives, how can we be certain that they will represent our interests?
Already, states are passing unconstitutional laws restricting gun purchases and ownership, and federal legislation will soon be on the floor of the Senate. If you're reading this, then you know, as do I, that we represent the majority of American people. The problem is that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and our opponents are being much more vocal than we are. We can no longer afford to be the Silent Majority. We must be as ardent and vocal as those who would wish to steal our precious liberties like a thief in the night.
Tweeting and posting on Facebook is all fine and dandy, but, more than likely, Senators and Representatives don't follow you on Twitter, nor are they your friends on Facebook. You must use other avenues to contact them and make your wishes known.
Here is one such avenue. Go to the Gun Owners of America page, here: http://bit.ly/XsNtqK . Scroll down and you will find a form letter you can send to your Senator, asking them to join with Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, and Mike Lee as they attempt to filibuster the proposed gun legislation. It's easy as pie. Simply select your state and it will automatically send the email to your Senators. Or you can contact your Senators directly.
Also, if you own guns, please join the NRA and GOA if you haven't already. I'll admit I've been as complacent as anyone else. I've owned guns for years, but have only recently taken the time to join these organizations. I know, shame on me. But I DID join, and I implore any of you who have yet to do so to act now.
Some people think that if only the universal background check passes, then it will be a victory for us. Wrong. A universal background check will lead to a national registry, which will in turn lead to confiscation, as sure as I'm typing this right now. The background check is more sinister than the proposed ban on assault rifles or high-capacity magazines, but it is being presented to appear perfectly harmless.
It is not.
What it boils down to is this: I am BEGGING you, fellow Patriots, to give just a few minutes of your time to make sure that your elected representatives hear your voice. Pledge to be more active in the political process. If we don't start now, this very minute, we risk losing the freedoms that our forefathers fought and died for. This is the GREATEST NATION on the face of the Earth. Let's do all we can to assure that it remains that way.
