Yesterday, Dr Ben Carter shared a couple of thoughts that ought to resound across the Nation.
When speaking of the federal gob'mint attack on the Bundy family in Nevada.... he commented:
"The Bundy case in Nevada provides many insights into the state of our
nation with respect to the relationship between the people and the
government.
The Bundys appear to be honorable American citizens
without adequate legal counsel to help resolve a federal land issue
about which they disagree with the Bureau of Land Management. Without
question, they violated some of the innumerable laws and regulations
that continue to entangle every aspect of American life.
Their
violations could certainly have been handled through a multitude of
less brutal means than those employed by our federal government, which
through the mouthpiece of Sen. Harry Reid emphasizes how important it is
for the government to enforce its laws.
It is quite interesting
to see, though, that the same bureaucrats refuse to enforce some of our
federal border-protection laws and other domestic policies with which
they disagree. Perhaps Mr. Reid’s time could be better spent explaining
why it is acceptable for the federal government to pick and choose which
laws it wishes to enforce.
The senator readily referred to the
Bundys and their supporters as “domestic terrorists,” but the current
administration is reticent about applying the same term to Maj. Nidal
Malik Hasan, who admitted slaughtering more than a dozen people in 2009
at Fort Hood in Texas. What does this tell us about our government and
its perceptions and alignments?
The massive show of federal force
in the Bundy case is frightening because it gives us a brief glimpse of
the totalitarian regime that awaits a sleeping populace that does not
take seriously its voting responsibilities, and places in public office
(and returns them to office) who do not represent traditional American
values."
