God forbid there come a time where we need to revolt against our government, I don’t want to be the one shaking a stick at an automatic weapon wielding, impenetrably armored battalion.

It will be a sad day when we have set aside every single last one of our rights for a false sense of security.

I have two bumper stickers on my car: “Dissent Is Patriotic” and Albert Einstein’s “Never Stop Questioning”. I proudly display the stickers because they state, very simply, something that every single American should never forget. Quite frankly I find this new wave of “questioning authority” for the sake of questioning authority repulsive. Pretty words that mean nothing if you can’t back them up with an inkling of intelligence or common sense.
