What have we become? We bear no resemblance to the “home of the brave, land of the freeâ€.
Citizens are terrified of government, while being forced to fund unconstitutional, immoral acts/programs. Free? What’s free about people ensnared with hundreds of thousands of regulations and taxes?
“Justice†is for the politically connected or exploitable aliens, not taxpaying citizens. Witness the Hollis Wayne Fincher case as prime example. A lifelong, patriotic citizen of Washington County brutally assaulted and incarcerated by eight law enforcement agencies.
His offense? Pick one. His brilliant defense of the 2nd Amendment, “The Silver Bullet� His organization and training of a well-regulated civilian militia, of which all major law enforcement were officially notified more than once over many years? His devout Christianity? His devotion to family? His 4th generation family acreage which is now prime property? His fight against an ordinance which essentially nullifies property rights, passed the day after his arrest? His outspoken defense of the U.S. and Arkansas Constitutions? His never harming or threatening anyone in his life? His openly owning weapons not “sanctioned†by the Feds?
He is 60 years old, with health problems. He’s been held virtually incommunicado since his arrest Nov. 12. Arkansas is overrun with illegal aliens, gangs, drug cartels, identity thieves, and hostile anti-American, open-border advocates. Eight agencies have the time (8 months) and money to arrest one citizen, but how about the myriad illegals and their felon employers?
Fincher was denied his constitutional rights and there was jury tampering by withholding information and evidence from the jury since they were not allowed to hear his defense, or much else.
Something is not just “rotten in Denmarkâ€, something is very rotten in the U.S. when good is punished and evil is rewarded.
What have we become? Nothing the Founders would approve.
