Fighting for Freedom

 

I wonder if King Biden has ever read the US Constitution or the Bill of Rights? Biden and his subservient minions are very busy dismantling whatever vestiges were left of our democratic republic. It would be nice if he had some knowledge of what is being destroyed, but I know that's a reach.

The First Amendment has already been trampled into dust. There is no freedom of speech tolerated in the kingdom of Biden. Any public speaker brave enough to diverge from approved Leftist talking points will be canceled and/or fired, the clear message being: Sit down and shut up; we know best. When the government closes churches and arrests congregants, free exercise of religion has become a quaint piece of history. A free press? Stop, you're being silly. And as for freedom to peacably assemble? Ask parents attending school board meetings to protest vaccine and mask mandates or curriculum about that one. Don't even mention petitioning the government for a redress of grievances; that's fast becoming a one-way street with Left turns only.

The bloated spending bills that Democrats want to force down our throats will include IRS surveillance of our personal bank accounts, with no warrant or probable cause necessary. So much for the Fourth Amendment. Welcome to the new American police state.

Yet in the Tenth Amendment, we learn that the Federal government has no right to issue sweeping nationwide mandates on vaccines or employment requirements. Decisions about masks, jobs, and most other issues in a citizen's life belong to each individual state--or "to the people." That's us. According to the Constitution, we get to decide how our daily lives will go. Not the government, not its agencies, not its self-appointed emperor.

I see a growing amount of pushback now from everyday people in many states against the government's tyrannical overreaches. That's a good thing, a green shoot of hope for our country's survival as the land of liberty. It seems that somewhere in our national DNA, the vast majority of Americans understand the need to be free. It's sad but not surprising that Biden doesn't get it.
