It's OK now, no need to panic

Are you a right winged terrorist nut job? Are you experiencing a "heightened level of extremist paranoia"? Well, calm down. The main stream media says all our woes are over and we are headed for a better day. Time to smile at your neighbor and go out and spend money.

And to all you who are buying every gun on every shelf in every gun shop, ignore the facts please. Struggling or bankrupt local governments are limiting new hiring and overtime for police, sheriff and other law enforcement. Local corrections are releasing tens of thousands of inmates from local prisons. The credit ratings of local governments are downgraded in all states, nationwide. State governments also report that tens of thousands of inmates are released from state prisons to cut costs. The DHS says you are crazy to worry about all that. You are a terrorist if you want to “increase weapons and ammunition stockpiling.” The media and our professors tell us, just because guns were invented for defense and protection does not mean you should use them to protect yourself and your family. Those bad, misguided, people who fought the American Revolution protected themselves and look! now they are all dead and we have forgotten them. What good did it do? Stop being so silly. Things are great. The economy is looking up. See, spending is up.

From where I am, I see a government spending more money than can be earned in several generations, taking over companies and huge percentages of the economy; scaring investors with more regulation and ever changing policy. That has never worked to make the economy more sound.

The mainstream media looks to find one example in the history of the world somewhere. They are still looking. "Oh, here, the New Deal, and all the policies that turned what should have been a short lived economic downturn into a great depression. Then they make us feel like that can't happen again; especially now when we are so smart. They are sure this recession will right itself any day now and everyone will have jobs in no time. Spend money. We don't need to prepare, pay off debt, store food, water or buy evil guns. :-) Be happy. Have faith. Darwin was right, we have evolved.

The mainstream media asks, are we actually naive enough to believe that the founding father's thought that liberty described in the constitution and the bill of rights means that the government should fear the people and not the other way around?

I agree with George Washington when he said, "Firearms are second only to Constitution in importance; they are the people's liberty's teeth."

The mainstream media counters, George Washington said that. Washington had wooden teeth. He didn't take care of his teeth. He couldn't have known what he was talking about. Put away your weapons. Stop saving for a rainy day. Just be thankful for all the wonderful things congress is doing to make a new and improved collective. We can just sit around all day watching television. The welfare check is in the mail. Comrade, that sounds like the good life.
