Spying and frying cannot be equivocated with jobs, but that’s not what the politicians say.

The Times Record in today’s editorial titled “Area Support for the 188th Still Strong”.  What facts does T.R. editor Judith Hansen have to substantiate the title…more than the city government and the consummate insiders?

The implementation of savagery and barbarism is the wave of our dying Empire, not a Republic.  In Hanson’s editorial she quotes Congressional Representative Steve Womack.  “The new mission can grow and bring potential new jobs”.   Womack’s’ statement is disseminating the message that the spying and frying mission will exacerbate and diplomacy & peace have no chance. Insertion of the drones’ tentacles into sovereign nations while doing their dirty work in America on American citizens, i.e. spying and frying is not the conduct of a peace-loving nation. The “War on Terror” is phony.

Womack: “As long as we can have something that keeps the flag flying and their people gainfully employed”.   Congressman, would you care to elaborate on this politically correct, self-serving, warmongering lie?

My friend Mike Gaddy has written two blockbuster pieces recently regarding “The Tyranny of the Majority”.   The phrase was taken from chapter 15 of the work of Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America. 

Understanding that our country was set up as a Republic, but from Abraham Lincoln forward it has been run as a democracy and gives rise to the fact that our former preeminent republic is on the precipice in any number of ways heading for self-destruction and perhaps a permanent global conflagration.  Observe the politically demented behavior governing our once great nation, e.g. the deployment and use of killer drones by individuals calling themselves Americans and protectors of freedom, as only one example.

The Tyranny of the Majority is in full-bloom in Fort Smith, Arkansas: Witness the T.R’s politically correct, question-less editorial regarding an issue as devastating to the Constitution as the criminal use of drones. Recall: President Obama exclaimed he can execute anyone he chooses using the dreaded drones.  It should be noted that the Fort Smith Times Record, since its purchase of the paper by CEO of Stephens, Inc. Warren Stephens, has degenerated into nothing more than a castrated politically correct communications instrument serving Stephen’s desires, e.g. bonding, newspapers, utilities, real estate, and the F.S. insider community, etc.  It is fair to say that Stephens Inc. influences the tenor of business to a huge degree in Fort Smith.

Perhaps the most troubling aspect of Fort Smith becoming home base to the premiere covert Drone Operation is a lack of public outcry against such an attack on the Constitution, the rule of law and more specifically our persons and freedoms. This is the classic example of the Tyranny of the Majority. The Majority is moribund, as is both political parties. Is it fear, ignorance, complacency or do citizens believe the lies and corruption emanating from D.C. by politicians & bureaucrats, specifically the phony “war on terror”?

John Adams: “Remember, Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide”.  Is this not what is happening in our once vaunted republic?

We are witnessing a failed olio America. Citizens have removed themselves from responsibility.
