The Rutherford Institute: The Drone-ification of America.
Ever since I came to hear their Public Service Announcements on WRVU FM, The Rutherford Institute and John Whitehead’s truthfully frank Constitutional commentaries have hit me “where I live”. While a DJ there, I sent for his free information packet and received the great “Pocket Constitution” of the U.S. along with a poster depicting the U.S. Bill Of Rights and other historical personal freedom 411, and I urge you to do the same. This is basic stuff that my generation learned in our high school Social Studies classes – I still have the text books!
IMHO, too many people, especially “Generation Y” , are totally clueless about the Bill of Rights and Constitution as it was intended to be applied by the founders of the “U.S.A.”, and that makes us all more vulnerable to erosion in personal liberties that are being considered and indeed applied behind closed doors as we “speak”. Soon our own “government” will use Orwellian tactics like drone spying on “we the people” without hesitation and find some nonsensical political double-speak rationalization to try and justify it.
Please read the above linked article and others at the Institute’s website. What do you think about all of this? If you are like I am, we need to continue to make our voices heard because humans are not robots; people make laws and laws should have human flexibilities built-in lest we and future generations fall victim to increasing unfeeling non-empathatic robotization of our societies and “leaders”. Speaking of leaders, I agree with what he says about President Obama and the war machine. It seems that these guys get in there and cannot resist the temptation become hawks these days, even if they promised otherwise during their campaign.
Facing voters judgment in the fall Democrats bet they could overcome public misgivings on a bill that reshapes one-sixth of the U.S. The final battle on the House floor exposed again the divisions that have riven Congress and the nation over the past year..The House gave final passage to the Senates health legislation on a climactic 219-to-212 vote as Democrats muscled the measure through on the strength of the partys big majority. All Republicans voted against the companion bill as did 33 Democrats..President Barack Obama who staked his presidency on the health-care overhaul helped push it toward passage with a last-minute promise to issue an executive order making clear that no money dispensed under the 940 billion bill would pay for abortions.
