Tyranny 2010

I think most people have continued their denial as long as humanly possible — myself included.  With executive order 12425, signed on December 17, 2009, Barack Obama has declared that America is now officially a tyranny.  It certainly wasn’t going to be announced as such on the evening news, but the granting of immunity to INTERPOL agents, thus superseding the U.S. Constitution, is the utmost violation of what Americans have cherished since the first days of the American Revolution and the country’s inception. Obama has now declared that paramilitary security forces representing any country on earth are free to roam American soil with absolute authority, no oversight, and no recourse for anyone who is violated.  I can’t think of a more treasonous declaration than this one.   All that the U.S. stood for, in terms of individual freedom, human rights, and privacy, has been obliterated.  This type of executive order is dictatorial — decided by Obama and the stroke of his pen — affecting every American man, woman, and child in the United States.

Goodbye America; it was a nice experiment while it lasted.  Only a Second American Revolution can close the gates of tyranny that the Commander in Chief has decided to open.
