Thomas Jefferson, the leader of America’s first Revolution made this statement: “When the people fear the government there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty”.
With that in mind, I’d ask you to take a few seconds to watch this incredibly sick and disturbing video produced for the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue, and then ask yourself this question: “Why is the government of the Keystone State attempting, as blatantly as any tyrant in the history of the world, to instill raw fear in the hearts of its citizens?
People all over the Commonwealth and for that matter all over the country are becoming swept up in a political renaissance, coming together to study great works of American political thought like the preamble to the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers, the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights, writings by John Locke, Thomas Payne, and the Founders, and more contemporary works from the likes of Ayn Rand and W. Cleon Skousen. And what is the response of today’s corrupt political establishment? Blatant attempts to “define” these enemies of the status quo as neo-Nazis, members of the lunatic fringe, and even as potential domestic terrorists. One has to find it all amusing, if it were not so disturbing in light of this threatening government produced video, to think that the reaction of the establishment status quo is a virtual re-enactment of the reaction that loyalists “to the Crown” must have had to the rebels Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, Hancock, and the rest, as political discontent in the colonies began to smolder into the revolution that established the United States of America.
