THE ROAD TO TYRANNY IS WIDE AND THE PATH OF DEMOCRACY IS NARROW TO PARAPHRASE AN OLD BIBLICAL SAYING. THE GRAVEYARDS OF WORLD HISTORY ARE FILLED WITH DEMOCRACY'S THAT FAIL VICTIM TO TYRANTS. TYRANTS THAT ONCE WERE THOUGHT OF AS THE SAVIORS OF THE PEOPLE. IN MOST CASES TYRANNY DOES NOT COME IN SOME VIOLENT REVOLUTION, BUT IS A GRADUAL PROCESS THAT CONSIST OF THE CHIPPING AWAY AT INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS AND CONSTITUTIONAL RESTRAINTS. IN THIS COUNTRY THE CONSTITUTION ACTS AS A BULWARK AGAINST THOSE SEEKING TO GAIN UNCHECKED POLITICAL POWER AND TO THIS DAY AS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME. LASTING LONGER THAN ANY OTHER DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUTION. WE STILL REMAIN A NATION OF LAWS AND NOT OF MEN, BUT ITS ALWAYS A STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN THAT.
WELL MEANING MEN WILL OFTEN CHALLENGE THE CONSTITUTIONAL GUIDELINES LAYED DOWN BY THE FOUNDERS, THINKING THEY KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR THE PEOPLE AND THE NATION. I BELIEVE THAT THE CURRENT OCCUPANT OF THE WHITE HOUSE IS SUCH A MAN. AFTER ALL HE HAS INDICATED IN THE NOT TOO REMOTE PAST THAT HE THOUGHT THE CONSTITUTION TO BE AN IMPERFECT AND OUTDATED DOCUMENT. HE IS SEEKING REELECTION TO A FINAL TERM AND FEELING IN THAT LAST 4 YEARS HE WILL BE MORE FLEXIBLE IN COMPLETING HIS AGENDA ONCE HE DOESN'T HAVE TO ANSWER TO THE VOTERS AGAIN. THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS TIME FOR THE NATION AND FOR THOSE PRECIOUS INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS WE ALL VALUE AND WHICH ARE SO FRAGILE. I WORRY ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE USE OF EXECUTIVE ORDERS, THE APPOINTMENT OF CZARS WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL, THE ACTIONS OF RADICAL EPA OFFICIALS THAT ANSWER ONLY TO THE PRESIDENT, AND THE APATHY OF MOST AMERICANS ASSUMING THAT THINGS WILL CONTINUE AS USUAL. THESE PROVIDE A ROAD MAP FOR A LEADER TO TAKE UNTO HIMSELF MORE AND MORE POWER UNTIL THAT TIPPING POINT IS REACHED AND WE SUDDENLY FIND OUR BELOVED REPUBLIC GOVERNED NOT BY THE PEOPLE, BUT BY A DESPOTIC TYRANT SEEKING TO MOLD THE NATION INTO SOME KIND OF UTOPIAN SOCIETY WITH HIM AT THE HELM. IT IS MY OPINION THAT WE MUST STOP THIS DRIFT TOWARD WHAT I CALL "OBAMAVILLE" AND VOTE HIM OUT OF OFFICE THIS FALL AND NOT TAKE A CHANCE ON THE ROLL OF THE DICE.
