For your consideration, the United States Constitution Amendment II (complete):

“A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

That is it - the complete text of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. It was part of the first Ten Amendments, which became known as our “Bill of Rights”, which were finally (and collectively) ratified by 1792. However, the great question currently at issue is “What did it mean then - and what does it mean now”.

A very well-known libertarian-leaning politician has taken to television and the internet to voice a threat of an economic disaster on the horizon. While we are in agreement on the realness of the threat, our calls to action differ in some fundamental ways.

ELEGY “What’s coming, and what can we do about it? ”

This is an insight into this nation’s future, now held in the hands of a political party that gained power by promising the public, all the things it would take away. This is a forecast of events to come - which I pray, to any deities that may exist, will be proven wrong. For anyone who dares to look, we are witness to forces which, for more than a century have been laboring to deceive and corrupt a nation - for nothing more than their own profit.

The acquittal of George Zimmerman disturbs me enormously. Not so much for its abrasion of my sense of justice, but for the massive threat which that verdict represents to this nation's public safety. I am therefore hoping that you can assist me in the instigation of a proper response - one that will hopefully mitigate the civil damage that now promises to occur. I suggest that we put a public call out to support a Wrongful Death suit against George Zimmerman. Recall, if you can, the O.J. Simpson case, in which the man had been acquitted of murder.

Before falling prey to that old chestnut - “Both parties are the same - they’re all just political bad buys.” - the reader should take a closer look at the “unique” behavior of the Republican minority, throughout the Obama presidency. The term “unique”, as applied to their pattern of “obstructionism” is neither hyperbole, nor exaggeration, nor political rhetoric of any kind. It’s cast iron fact!
