Reclaiming freedom from tyranny

There is a wind of liberty blowing across the plains of America. It has begun as a soft wind, barely noticeable in the bitter cold of soft tyranny, and it is gaining strength with each passing day. Americans are finally able to articulate the spying, the  targeting, the bullying, the taxing, the lawlessness. That Rasmussen poll of April 15 is a milestone. Only 16% percent of likely voters believe the federal government has the consent of the governed, while 54% consider the federal government a threat to liberty rather than a protector of it. Majorities across Republican, Democrat and unaffiliated voters now believe that government "has become a special interest group that looks out primarily for its own interests." 

By the hundreds of Executive Orders taking away Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms, the militarization of nearly every non-elected, Constitutionally questionable government agency from the IRS to BLM to even the Postal Service, the spying on American citizens, the establishment of a police state, the refusal to enforce immigration, marriage, offshore drilling, and voter rights laws, to record deficit spending to materially supporting terrorists, this government, this occupant of the Oval Office has been dropping drops of tyranny into the crucible of freedom. The question is, when will Americans say no more? When will Christians realize their beliefs and freedom to exercise those beliefs are threatened with each drop?

The time is coming, if it is not here already, when the government has pushed the citizenry too far. First, is the recognition of the problem. People of all political persuasions are doing that--government has become its own special interest representing its own interest. Then is the action to correct it. Putting the rights of a desert tortoise over those of a US citizen and being willing to enforce it with extreme military might reveals the heart of tyranny. Hats off to Cliven Bundy for standing. His position and the subsequent support of militia groups and the American people may well be the turning point of Americans finally waking up to see that tyranny is at their doorsteps. If it is on Bundy's doorstep, it's on yours.

Militia are now speaking up. They are willing to take on the government with arms, if necessary. This has ruffled the feathers of Senators and Congressmen. Oklahoma Republican Senator Jim Inhofe is such an example saying, "you've got a bunch of people there trying to take the law into their own hands and they shouldn't be doing that." Well, Mr. Inhofe, if you and your colleagues were doing your jobs, Americans wouldn't be rising up. Wake up Senator. The wind of liberty is blowing. An unjust law is no law at all. Since law originates from God, law must be just or it is not law.  It gets down to Acts 5:29, "We ought to obey God rather than men." Winds of liberty in obedience to God will break the chains of tyranny.
