A Young Man's Opinion

I am not an amazing writer, I am not a master of words or a genius of any sort. I am an average person, who knows the severity of what has gone down in our country. I see the atrocities in the name of freedom, in the name of America, and I laugh at what we allowed to take place. This isn't America anymore, this isn't what we died for so many years ago. Its a pitiful shell of its former glory, and the masses don't care. How can you make people rise up to stop our freedoms from being thrown out the window, when their to lazy to get off their damn couches.

America is being controlled by tyrannical business men who have loaded their pockets with our money, illegally. Our congressmen, who are supposed to represent us, lie back and watch the constitution be torn away piece by piece. sick, evil men strive to control the people with their mindless TV and false news, making us less informed than a lemming of its impending doom.

They have tried to stop any revolution from ever taking place, with laws that will make us stop dead in our tracks, literally, before it ever began. They smile their wicked grins, as the media fills our head with lies and advertisement fluff, making us not realize what is happening in good old America. What is there to do to fix America? We may be able to impeach this dictator currently in power, but with him removed, another will take his place.

What has to happen to finally make the people stand up and say "ENOUGH!". I realize many don't understand what has been going on, but once they do, can they still turn a blind eye on our constitution's rape? I hope that isn't the case, but if it is, the citizens of America do not deserve their freedom. They have stolen our privacy and soon it will be our freedom of speech, which you can already see the beginning of now.

They read our mail, wiretap the phone, tax us illegally, and watch us every day. In the year 2009 (tentatively) they will tag us like cattle, with the RFID chip. The Real ID act has been passed, and at first it will seem harmless, making us have a card with a barcode that they can scan wherever we are to make sure were citizens.

What happens when the Veri-chip (RFID brand) is put in all of our children, by law, and we have all of our money, personal information, and location on a little bitty chip? I'll tell you what happens, the complete and total destruction of our constitution. Our founding fathers believed in a smaller scoped government, not one that gave away its money making powers to business men and concentrates its eyes on every move its citizens make like a hawk, rooting out those with different opinions.

So what is there to do, when the only thing we can do is become informed, informed on the slow process of losing our freedoms. I am going to spread my thoughts and beliefs on revolution, maybe i will reach someone, and then we can all join together to do something. In this world I have learnt one thing, and that is no one cares about what is happening in their government, as long as it doesn't affect them. They don't realize that peaceful protest, our right to assemble for the things we believe in are being smashed down with oppressive power in daily events.

I for one will revolt, peacefully, until they bring force against, but once the gauntlet has been dropped I will not cower in fear, like many will. I will continue this fight, when the going gets tough. I would rather die a patriot, than betray my country like the whole of our government has. Let freedom die with a bang, instead of a whimper. Do something about this, while we still might have a chance. Do whatever you can to stop this powerful regime from rooting itself completely into America, we might still have a chance.
