Just to clarify I did not say that the "9-11 Truther" garbage and/or the "alQaeda is an amrm of US Intelligence" garbage discredited EVERYTHING said in the video. "Global warming" for instance is just a huge fraud designed to hoover the wallets of well-off countries and fill the coffers of Third World dictators (plus Algore's "Carbon Offset" rackets) And there are (duh! what's this site and Org for?) politicians with designs to disarm all LACs, and their motives are NOT GOOD.
And there may be many other threats talked about in the vid that are extant. BUT in order to intrude on our rights these schemes must get past the Constitution. They may have willing accomplices in Washington NOW, but not (so far) enough. And as I said folks are beginning to smell a rat. Here is a look at the beauty of the Representative Republican form of government as designed by the Framers: The number of politicians who must face the voters in two years OR LESS (all the Representatives plus 1/3 of the Senate) FAR OUTNUMBER the pols with 4 years or more before they have to answer for their acts (The President and 2/3 of the Senate) at any one moment. This was no accident, is was meant to ensure that the pressure would be much more immediate for the majority of lawmakers, and those who had two to four years longer to cover their tracks risked having their actions recorded and remembered by their opponents when their turn before the People came about.
Thus our Republic is a constant Revolution in slow-motion, fought on the hustings with the polls providing a fresh Yorktown every two years; and the Second Amendment provides the People with the means for a very real Revolution just in case one is needed. Note well that the politicians who try and govern by sneaky parliamentarian tactrics and lawyer tricks are the very ones who try to dilute or eliminate the 2A as a matter of practical meaning.
So yes, the vid has a lot of valid facts. But practically nothing I did not already know. Tell me, since almost everyone knows me about as well as one can know someone without actually having met them, who among you feels that I am less than a patriot? Who among you believes I have less than a whole-hearted belief and commitment to the Constitution and who thinks I do not bemoan the laxity in observance of the Second, Ninth, and Tenth amendments even as the First is used as a cover for what borders on treason??
However if you believe EVERYTHING in this paranoid tapestry of facts and rumors and tall tales; then the time for Revolution is NOW and we must ready our arms and form up at Concord and Lexington. This is not the case. Comes the time, God forfend, I will be right at the point and it will be an honor if I am first to give my life. Just right this red-hot minute, however there is an EXCELLENT chance to stymie the dupes who would serve the Nation up to those who wish to drain all our wealth and cast us adrift, or worse to enslave us under a tyranny be it hard or soft.
Right now our weapons are the telephone, Email, snail mail, rallys, and the other forms of political activism. The pen is NOT "mightier than the sword", and the 2A is meant to ensure that it is backed up BY the sword. But all the evils spoken of in this vid can be - IF everyone does his duty as a Citizen - defeated at Yorktown 2010 and Yorktown 2012. Hope this clears up my meaning.
