From Natural News:
Those who oppose the Bill of Rights are enemies of America
Some misguided, if not treasonous, U.S. Senators, lawmakers and public servants in the executive branch of government currently suffer under the dangerous misconception that the Bill of Rights only exists because they allow it to. They foolishly believe that they can selectively pick and choose which rights to nullify via new legislation or by the stroke of an executive pen. This delusion is not merely wrong-headed and arrogant, it poses a grave threat to the Republic and all its future generations.Enemies of the Bill of Rights are enemies of America. Whether those enemies be found in the media, in Congress, in the Oval Office or on the streets of America, they are unworthy of being called "Americans" at all. Those who despise liberty do not deserve liberty. Those who deliberately and maliciously attack the Bill of Rights do not deserve the protections of the Bill of Rights. Those who despise the Constitution and its Bill of Rights are publicly indicating they would prefer to live as subjects, not Citizens.
I propose that any who attempt to denounce Bill of Rights protections for others must first surrender their own rights and freedoms. Do not speak of taking away my Second Amendment rights while you enjoy the protections of the First Amendment. Surrender all your rights and freedoms first, because only then have you achieved the necessary moral consistency from which you can demand others be deprived of their rights.
Relocate to North Korea, in other words, and become a subject of Kim Jong-un and then continue your assaults of the Bill of Rights as a Korean gulag blogger. Because only then will you know how much you have lost, and how much you should have valued the liberties you so carelessly abandoned.
The Bill of Rights is not negotiable. If you oppose it, you betray not only yourself, but all Americans.

Thanks for sharing this message Mary!!
Sad but true that this is the way our country is headed Mary. People are so misguided. In 20 years the socialist agenda has gone in a complete 180 degrees where the ignorant masses of our country embrace the socialist "progressive" ideas of the radical left. Very scary. I don't understand how people can fail to comprehend that the Bill of Rights, Constitution and Ammendments were put in place to PROTECT our rights. Ignorance is so prevalent in society and surprisingly a lot of them think they're "enlightened". Scary!!
Thank you for sharing this. On a happier note...

Thank you Claudia! I don't often write about controversial or political topics but this is just to important not to share.
Thank you for following. Following back!
I pray your wedding day was as amazing as you.
It is nice to see that you also go off the beaten path for your news. Truth of the matter is we all need to educate others, find others of like mind, and stand together.
United we stand, divided we fall.
New follower from the blog hop! Love your blog & can't wait to get to know you more :) Have a great day!

Such deep thoughts. Thanks for sharing. I'm your latest follower. Nice to meet you. Have a great weekend & Happy New Year.
Happy New Year. I found you through Aloha Blog Hop. Stop by and say hi when you get a minute. :)
I support the right to own firearms but I also agree that laws need to be put into place to prevent certain people from owning firearms. Mentally unstable people should NOT be allowed to purchase firearms. The Virginia Tech shooter was able to purchase his firearms. That should NOT have been allowed to happen.
I don't think that banning guns is the answer to America's gun problem. But I also don't think that people really need to own extended clips or assault rifles. Seriously? Why do you need that? Do you think the Zombie Apocalypse is going to happen soon?
I think there is a lot that needs to be looked at as to why people turn to gun violence in this country. It's not just about guns as there are other countries who have high rates of gun ownership but less gun violence. There are also countries who have lower rates of gun ownership than the US but have higher rates of gun violence. Poverty, welfare programs and access to mental health care (including live in mental institutions) are all factors to look at.
Some people say that welfare programs are against the constitution. But the constitution does state that the government is to ensure the welfare of the people. Ensuring that people have a means to take care of themselves in times of need IS helping people out and ensuring the welfare of the people. I do realize that some people take advantage of the system but there are many more who don't.
Thanks for sharing your ideas at Marvelous Mondays. Have a safe and happy New Year!
I was wondering how long it would take before the progressives started their official push to tear down the Constitution. And here it is today in the headlines: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/31/opinion/lets-give-up-on-the-constitution.html?ref=opinion&_r=2&.
@CrankyPuppy, Thanks for sharing the article. The Constitution is irrelevant??? The author should be stripped of his citizenship and sent to whatever country he chooses. It's treasonous!
@Julie, Thanks you for your comments. Each state has their own way of ferreting out who should and should not own guns. As for limiting what types of guns...A "high-capacity" magazine is considered anything over 10 rounds. At this point, most popular 9mm/40/45 have a 13-16 round magazine. The wording of the second amendments is "Shall Not be Infringed." Unfortunately, the politicians are using a tragedy to promote their own agenda and it is DESPICABLE!
Thanks for stopping by everyone!
2013 is a year for new beginnings and a MUCH bigger garden!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing this important message!
Criminalizing home gardening has got to be the dumbest idea ever! But many will think it's good. Wow that is so crazy!
Nicole, Definitely dumb!! Home gardens were a necessity during World War 2. They called them Victory Gardens!
