Without shame I find myself weeping as I once again watch
the film, “We Were Soldiers.”
The loss
of life and horror of the battlefield, I am sure, falls short in the movie as I
sit comfortably on the sideline and watch.
However, I find that I am profoundly affected by the power of this
film.
I think of the sacrifice of life
on battlefields that Americans have participated in.
I do not know whether or not all of these
wars were just but I am confident that our American fighting soldiers have
answered the call over and over with true allegiance to an ideal, to the hope
of mankind throughout history, that being the preservation of Liberty.
I am just as certain that we have politicians who would sell
their soul for money and power. I am
even more certain that this same type of politician would sell our soldiers’
and uniformed law enforcement officers’ blood for that same power. It is my opinion that unconstitutional and
unjust laws are an assault of the most reprehensible type on the People of
these United States. They carry the
cloak and color of legality while they shred our Declaration of Independence
and our U.S. Constitution.
I would like to make it perfectly clear that, I, Dan A.
Mefford, D.C., will not comply with what I believe, based on my own study and
research and the plain language of the our United States Constitution, to be
an unconstitutional or unjust law.
I am feeling a level of anxiety combined with a helpless and
righteous anger against our governments both state and federal, which are constantly
ramping up the invasion of privacy, denying self-protection rights, all in the
name of the War on Drugs, and now the War on Terror and the various other
“wars” by whatever name. These Enemies
of Liberty want to place me and my fellow citizens under a microscope while
turning a blind eye to whoever comes across our Southern border. The truth is you haven’t seen anything yet.
Please don’t tell me it is all the Democrats. The Patriot Act is a product of the
Republicans. You should read it sometime. I will say again as I have said in the past,
the top honchos of either party, who like to pull the strings behind the
scenes, are not to be trusted. They are
the closest to the seat of power, and the power drug is one of the most potent
and addictive “substances” known to man.
I would hope that a great host of Citizens, cops, judges and
elected officials would take a stand against this soft tyranny that is sweeping
this country, in name peace and safety. Under the Republicans the speed at
which we will go off the cliff will be half as fast as with the democrats. The problem with that is they are still going
to take us off the cliff and straight into tyranny. What we need is a course change. We need to turn back from the cliff.
Just because it is a law does not make it right. At one time the law allowed slavery. At one time the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS)
said, in essence, that black people were inferior and not capable of ruling
themselves. There are a substantial
number of instances where SCOTUS has reversed itself. The misery that they have caused before
justice was finally achieved can only be imagined by most of us.
What world will you pass to your children? What example will you pass to your children?
We hold and shape the present for our children.
What will your kids say about you?
I think I will skip the Super Bowl and go watch American Sniper. I am confident that I will finally be able to
get a seat.
