I have often asked myself what it would take for Americans to finally say that they have had enough of government rule and government corruption to actually stand up against it. I have literally seen hundreds of videos of people saying that they are no longer going to take the oppressive government over reaching into their lives yet those same people haven't done anything about it. Sadly the answer that always comes to my mind is that nobody will ever do anything about what our government does because they are either lazy or scared.
There really is nothing wrong about being scared of your government because they give us all more than enough to worry about. Being scared of your government isn't a new concept in the world, it has been the goal of many governments to do exactly that, make their people afraid of them so they won't rise up to get rid of them. While being scared isn't wrong, being lazy is. So many couch commandos talk really big about how they will rise up against the government when they "cross that line" even though the government crosses lines every day. The couch commando draws a new line each time the government crosses it so they can sit on their couch for another day blathering on about how cool and tough they are.
I find it very interesting how we here in the United States talk big yet do nothing while people in other countries are more reserved yet take immediate action against their tyrannical governments. Look at Egypt, Libya, Iran, Syria and so on. The citizens of those countries are out in the streets twenty four hours a day seven days a week fighting for the chance at freedom yet we here in America can't get farther than our refrigerator without being worried.
It makes me wonder what kind of country we actually want. People moan and complain about taxes being too high, how the TSA is basically raping us every time we wish to take an airplane on vacation, how our local government officials are skimming money off the top and how we can't find good jobs anymore. We complain about these things but of course complaining does nothing.
Some people try to change things by calling their representatives hoping they will be a voice of reason in the government only to find that their representatives are just as corrupt as a mafia hit man in need of cash. Others protest in the streets only to be bashed in the head with a night stick by some power hungry crooked cop with a Rambo complex. When will people understand that these methods are completely useless?
I am not advocating violence in this blog because I don't want to end up in some prison camp somewhere in the middle of nowhere being frisked nightly by a large man with a bad attitude problem but seriously, where do you draw the line? When do you finally say this has gone too far and we just have to take back our freedom. There has to be a flash point somewhere that brings the reality of what is happening to a complete clarity to all people. What is it, or how far does the government really have to go before people start saying that it has to stop? I really want to know the answer.
I think another road block to standing up for ourselves is that we do not know who to trust. Many people would probably love to gather a bunch of like minded people together to "chat" but they are afraid that the people they find might not be who they say they are and that they might get in trouble for forming a group. This sounds like it could be true. Most people don't think they alone can make a difference so they feel better if they have a group who will back them up. I agree with that, it is always good to have people you can rely on to help you in a situation such as this.
I would recommend that those of you interested in taking your country back look for like minded individuals that you can form a group with so you have others you can talk to about the current state of this country and the corrupt government that lives here with us. It will help ease your fears too because you will be able to vent your frustrations and hear what others are thinking too.
So what exactly would it take for you to get so sick of the current situation to stand up and take our country back?
