Protecting the flock

To the Editor:

“When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.” – Thomas Jefferson

The government does not fear the people. Why should they? They have no reason to. They have become the bane of our existence. They have “we the people” on a need to know basis.

I don’t need, I want. I want accountability and transparency behind “Fast and Furious” and “Benghazi.” We should do to them what they’re doing to us: Monitor the monitors that are monitoring. I’m very adamant about this. I’ve mentioned sometime ago if this government ever became a tyrant, look no further. It’s a well known fact that the alphabet community: NSA, CIA and FBI reads our emails, listens to our phone calls, has cameras on street corners in and on buildings and tracks us like sheep, all in the name of protecting its flock. Well, I’m no sheep; I’m a sheepdog and this dog has friends: Mr. Beretta, Miss Glock, brothers Hecker & Koch, and distant cousin Mr. Kalashnikov.

We’ve been betrayed by false politicians spewing false promises for so long, we just graze from pasture to pasture without a second thought. This dog is no longer grazing. We have to be more concerned about the rights we are losing rather than what app you need on your phone. We need to wake up and wake up fast. To quote grandma, “At this point, what difference does it make?” You can’t fix stupid.
