"...Americans are tyrannized by 1776, The Second Amendment, The Bill of Rights, The Constitution and other colonial-era artifacts. They have been brainwashed into believing that those are the only thoughts there are. This is not freedom. Freedom means having a choice. If they could accept that there are other ways of thinking then they would have a choice! That’s what freedom is about and what many, if not most, Americans don’t understand..."
Read the rest here: The Tyranny of the American Mind - Salem-News.Com , and the comments are good. Really good.
Here's my comment.Mr. Johnson seems to have the liberal MSM definition of the reason Americans are buying guns down perfectly. Of course, what can we expect from an 'almost colonial' who never quit sucking at the tit of the Queen?
Too, he confers upon Freedom loving Americans his state sponsored idea of what "freedom" is and how we should react to it. What more can be said about someone who thinks that believing in the 'rule of law' is brain-washing?
What he doesn't understand is 'freedom' as Americans know and understand it: that we are free to choose whether or not we buy a gun, carry a gun, have a permit to carry a gun. True to his liberal state controlled mind, he thinks every American has a closet full of firearms and one in each pocket of our clothes.
To Mr. Johnson's feeble mind, "tyranny" is believing in the laws that govern one's society and that we Americans have "no choice" in obeying our laws.
"...What Americans don’t seem to understand is how crazy they look to most of the rest of the world. The reason they don’t understand is because of their one-thought tyranny..." It seems that Mr. Johnson is concerned what everyone else thinks of him. Or is he concerned with what the rest of the world thinks of the United States? Does he really think we should actually care what the rest of the world thinks of us?
Try this, Mr. Johnson: If you really don't think much of Americans, return to America all the technology you use that was invented by Americans.
You'd still be living in the stone age.
So what do we care what the rest of the world thinks of us? We've invented almost every item used by the world today. Well, the advanced world. You people living in third world countries have yet to rise to a standard of living even close to what Americans enjoy. Yet you have the audacity- excuse me, the jealousy running rampant in your little mind- to criticise us and our laws?
If you don't like our laws, don't come here. It's as simple as that. If you're frightened that we all have guns, don't cross our borders. After all, it isn't like we're inviting you here- we don't need you or your kind. We kicked the shit out of your king and queen 235 years ago and we'll do it again. So, to finish this and be polite about it, I'll just tell you "good nite, and kiss my ass. If you could understand and realize there are other ways of thinking than that of a slave, you might have a choice."
This is aimed at Mr. Johnson, our northern neighbor, definitely not toward those freedom loving Canadians (being a transplanted Canadian, some of my family are among those) with whom we have so much in common. So please, no flaming letters of hate about how I'm denigrating Canadians. Or should I say "Canadiens"?
Bless God, God bless.
