Gun Sales Are Up . . . Americans Are Starting To Get It
By John Longenecker (11/03/08)
The Liberty Nuts, Part VI. - Americans are getting that it’s not about Guns, it never was. - No, It's about Independence, citizen authority, and the realization that we are actually on our own. More than ever before, Americans feel their Independence is threatened like never before. 2008 was (is) a memorable year for experiencing Big Government, and for the first time, tens of millions of Americans are experiencing the very kind of forecast 80 million gun owners have warned about. Buying guns is a powerful sign that non-gun owner Americans now see this finally as it all relates to their homes and loved ones.
Barack Obama has said many, many things which indicate that he has been groomed for this election for a long time – groomed – and this is frightening. It reveals much, much more than his having his desire for the Oval Office for a long time, it means he’s gotten a lot of help for a long time just for this election. It’s frightening the amount of work it seems to involve in going back decades. Senator Obama believes in what he believes, but his background forming those beliefs betrays a one-sided view that government translates into social justice, and it seems that he never, ever learned about Liberty in America as the better path. One begins to believe that his goals have nothing to do at all with social justice. From what he espouses, it seems he was never taught about sovereignty, individual Independence from government, and other values which bring greater justice to people than anything conceived by the mind of Big Government types. Americans may say what they feel in reading Obama, but when they act, they really are feeling it.
Whether Obama really believes in his values or not is no longer germane as Americans are sensing danger of ever-increasing dependency on government, and reflect it by buying Guns, not in anticipation of any shoot-outs with our own troops, but in expectations of further intrusion, coercion to comply or-else, a general perception of government indifference to the real needs of Americans, and worse, general interferences; these will likely include large databases, increased supervision of citizens and policy in how violent crime is handled, including victim rights, self-defense, the bureaucracy, and other related issues. People are beginning to respond to how their sovereign authority is in the balance by how their money and violent crime are to be handled by bigger government with such a rotten track record on money and crime.
Liberty Nuts have been forecasting this for decades, and now, liberty itself is becoming an issue in Election ‘08. Spreading the wealth is just another socialist indicator of how everything else will be in the balance, too, such as how crime is handled and how more individuals may be criminalized in the name of justice for others. You can smell that one coming.
Whatever opinions Obama may have, no matter how misguided by his upbringing, by his associations, and even his own denials, he cannot be forgiven his mistakes for one reason: he will have the power to back his ideas with force, unchecked and unadvised. With a liberal court, congress and cabinet, who will advise President Obama on American values? He’s presently operating on socialist values..and has been for a very long time.
