"(I)t cannot be repeated too often that the Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals---that it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government---that it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizens' protection against the government...in today's prevalent view of government...(i)nstead of being a protector of man's rights, the government is becomeing their most dangerous violator; instead of guarding freedom, the government is establishing slavery...the government is initiating physical force and coercion in any manner and issue it pleases." (The Virtue Of Selfishness, Ayn Rand; New American Library, 1964; p 133)
Ms Rand continues by maintaining that our government is not serving as a objective mediator between individual persons or groups, but is creating a "deadly, subterranean reign of uncertainty and fear, by means of nonobjective laws whose interpretation is left to the arbitrary decisions of random bureaucrats." (pp 133, 134) "(I)nstead of protecting men from injury by whim, the government is arrogating to itself the power of unlimited whim---so that we are fast approaching the stage of ultimte inversion...the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force." (p 134)
So is BO trying to bring us back to the stage of rule by force often called the Dark Ages? Because people don't understand that the Constitution is a limit on the federal government, our nation is getting twisted out of shape: the Consitution is being used to limit the citizens instead of the government. And so you can't even buy baby chicks now without permission. And guess what that creates? An atmosphere (reign)of uncertainty and fear. Are the citizens terrified of our federal government? What would happen to you if you opened your door and the IRS stood there with their new double-barreled shotguns ordered for them by BO? Our government is traveling down the road of limiting freedom, not guarding freedom. Our government, which does have the reputation of finally ending slavery is now enslavening the whole citizenry. How ironic! How sad!
If freedom is going to reign, we MUST stop this madness. Let the ballot box scream "FREEDOM"!
