The End Of The Road?

It is fairly difficult to discourage me.

I watched this evening's events unfold, and I have to admit, I feel almost as hollow as when my father died.

Our country, this nation, has been severely ill for a very long time. She's been plagued with parasites that have drained her essence to support their growing numbers.

Quacks have bled her, and drunk and grown fat on her blood like perverse and putrid vampires.

Most of our so-called elected representatives have tried to eviscerate her by removing the very organs that embody Liberty. They've attempted to delete, ignore, or rewrite The Constitution and our Bill Of Rights.

Even after all of this. Even now, Liberty still lives. In each heart of each patriot, each free American, she sings her song of Freedom. Those of us who are free in conscience and thought hear her. Her voice is still sweet and pure, and shows nothing of the abominations that have been heaped upon her.

I did not vote for McCain. I did not vote for Obama. I wrote in Ron Paul's name because I know he hears the same song as I. Many of you reading this hear this song as well.

I'll say this now.

If you are a so-called elected leader, an appointed judge, or a bureaucrat that answers to no one, you are on notice this day. You have chosen to ignore the law, and have held yourselves above it. You have demonstrated contempt for the will of the American people, if not just contempt for the American people. You have sent your minions to enslave us through your twisted logic and tortured slantings of our basic laws. The attention given to minutiae when it suits your purpose, and the disregard when it does not has not gone unnoticed.

The Constitution Of The United States Of America was written by common men for the common man. Anyone who can speak basic English understands the meaning of the words and ideas embodied by that document. We have no need nor want of your so called learned "interpretations".

We have grown weary of your priggish proclamations that do nothing except strip us of the fruit of our labors.

You have parlayed your cupidinous desires to excess at our sufferance, secure in the knowledge that we, as law abiding people, would not transgress the very laws we hold sacrosanct in our efforts to seek redress.

That has been the card up your sleeve throughout this game. You know we obey the law. You know that we hold the law in high esteem. You know that we value the law.

You do not. You never have. You never will except when it can be malformed to suit your ends.

Your laws are no longer MY laws. You have diverged so far from what I was raised with that I can not even stretch my ever fertile imagination to see any relation between what I value, and the pestiferous corruption you swim in each day.

Your pompous, and vainglorious edicts and admonishments will fall upon deaf ears.

I will not surrender my weapons. I will not surrender my beliefs. I will not yield to the effete jackbooted thugs, your Neo-Shutzstaffen, that you send to punish me.

Since you no longer follow the laws that I hold valid, you have placed yourself outside the protection of the law. You are no longer guaranteed the Rights afforded by The Constitution.

Each of you is an enemy of The Constitution. Each of you is an enemy of America. Each of you have declared yourself to be my enemy.

H.L. Mencken once penned, "Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats."

Consider the black flag raised.
