Thomas Jefferson: Rolling Over in His Grave
Memorial Day 2011. The rights and freedoms Thomas Jefferson and the Founding Fathers fought for are being taken from Americans every day. On the day we honor those brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for this country we can watch an example of Patriot Act fever abuse those rights and freedoms. This video is a sad commentary on the way things are in the United States on Memorial Day 2011. Can you believe dancing in public is an arrestable offense now? This is protecting us from terrorists?
It seems to this Creepyolderguy that it's Joe and Sally Sixpack who are the real targets here and while a few arrests at the Jefferson Memorial may seem a frivolous thing, the usurping of our rights is not. How we defame the lives given defending our Constitution and Bill of Rights so America can remain the "Land of the free and the home of the brave". Illegal foreclosures, full body patdowns, warrentless wiretapping, government bailouts for banksters; the beat goes on.
On this Memorial Day 2011 honor our fallen soldiers and think about what they died for. Then watch a group of American citizens get arrested for dancing. What's wrong with this picture?
" A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference. "
"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent."
