The End Of Freedom As We Have Known It Is Near.

Soon, if the enemies of freedom and the proponents of government command-and-control economies have their way, this is what you can expect:
* A shortage of well-paying, productive jobs actually making things: This is because of a combination of environmental rules and regulations, government red tape and corporate taxes that make it easier to ship jobs overseas. If you think it's bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Americans also have to compete now with illegal aliens for employment because the government refuses to do something it actually has a responsibility to do – control the borders.
* You will be told what you can drive and what you can't: This is part of the government's power grab under the rubric of "climate change." Carbon dioxide, a naturally occurring gas vital to all living things, has been determined to be the biggest hazard on the planet – responsible for "global warming" apparently impossible to detect with thermometers, but only through computer modeling. A side effect of this plan is even fewer productive jobs.
* You will be told what medical procedures you can have and which you can't have: The government will soon be a middleman between you and your doctor. Even your hard-earned money, if you have any, will be useless in persuading doctors in this country to treat you.
* Your vote will be meaningless: Of course, systems like these cannot be mandated in a country in which politicians are accountable to the people, so the power of your vote will need to be watered down by giving amnesty to millions of illegal aliens who, in turn, will vote for their benefactors, returning them to office. In addition, criminal organizations like ACORN will be funded by the government and probably placed in charge of elections – if elections are permitted to take place at all.
* Your guns will be taken away: Tyrannical regimes can only survive in countries in which the government maintains a monopoly on force.
* Your children will be indoctrinated to believe the government is their friend and benefactor and protector: When the government spends more waking hours with your children than you do, what do you expect? Your archaic ideas and morals will be laughed at and scoffed at by your own children.
* The financial system will collapse: This will, as it always has in the past, make the government more powerful – prompting emergency powers and possibly even martial law.
* Criminals and terrorists will have free reign to victimize you: While government officials are protected from the ensuing anarchy, you will be on your own to deal with the mess they have created.
* Somehow you will be blamed for the chaos: In the name of "tolerance" and punishing so-called "hate crimes," if you are a serious person of faith, you will be a target of persecution. When the government becomes a god, it will tolerate no other gods before it.
Does this sound like an implausible nightmare scenario to you?
Or can you already discern which way the wind is blowing?
Is the end of freedom as we have known it inevitable?
Yes, unless we get off the road we are on – and fast.
The history of the world shows that freedom is fragile and fleeting.
Most Americans take it for granted.
Previous generations have made most of the major sacrifices necessary for birthing it and maintaining it. This one has not done the heavy lifting.
But that's about to change.
Either we prepare to lay it all on the line – risking our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor – or we will be remembered as the generation that exchanged liberty for chains.
