In light of the recent campus shooting it brought to mind the ever-present erosion of our liberties. This morning I tuned into the Mark Davis show (WBAP, Dallas) to hear what the MSM and its shills are saying about the Virginia Tech. "massacree" (no 8X10 glossies in this case to Arlo Guthrie’s dismay). Mark was calling for instant background checks upon the purchase of a gun. He said the criteria should be based on criminal and mental health background checks. Are TPB planning on using the Russian model of deeming dissidents mentally ill in order to take away their liberties? How hard would it be to get a couple of government shrinks to diagnose someone insane based on his supposed actions or writings. Maybe they were tired of installing child porn on dissident’s computers. The road to tyranny is being paved not by outright loss of liberties but removal by degrees, the Hitler model: They came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up. This piecemeal loss of liberties marches onward with each new event, staged or real. Even the Sheep’s wool would be ruffled if TPB removed our rights outright. But the slippery slope and infringement are concepts beyond the grasp of your typical sheep basking in the flicker of 4.5 hrs a night of MSM programming. The elite see the nibbling at the edges as an excellent vehicle to achieve their goals.
