My answer is * NO!
I'm old enough, and maybe you are too, to remember a game show called "Let's Make a Deal"? Monty Hall hosted this show that ran back in the 70's. Contestants were chosen from the audience, and given would have a table before them where they would have to guess how much a can of spam cost at the store, without going over. If they guessed correctly, Monty would hand them say $100 cash, and then they would have a chance to keep the cash, or take a chance on what might be behind door # 1 ,2, or 3.
Unfortunately, all too often we choose to give up the cash for what might be behind the door, and all too often we as Americans chose the door with shall we say, the booby prize behind it.
What is happening in American today is sort of like that game show. We are being suckered into giving up our personal freedom in exchange for a false security created by a corrupt government machine. The socialist elite are pushing the buttons, and pulling the levers of this machine, just waiting for us to surrender to them our last, and final liberty.
"The Goal is Communism" Stated Roger Baldwin, Co-Founder of the American Civil Liberties Union (A.C.L.U.).
Maintaining our individual liberties takes a front seat to national security in my opinion. We don't get a strong national by forcing law abiding citizens to undergo unlawful search by under trained airport security personnel, thereby invading their personal privacy, and violating their civil rights in the name of national security. Terrorist's will get past all the multi-million dollar technology their putting in place no somehow, and that will be another excuse to spend billions more of our tax dollars on even more security equipment, further violating the civil rights of the American people.
In the meantime they are destroying our nations defenses by disarming our nuclear weaponry, and making cuts in military spending, while they divert funds to liberal special interests in the name of health care reform, and the environment. Socialist know how to put up a really good smoke screen, they can make pure burning hell sound like a trip to the ice cream shop, and the sheep of America will follow them to straight to their own slaughter.
We are being sold a bill of goods by the Obama regime, and the Democratic Party. One lie after another, One bill after another, one step closer to becoming the next iron curtain nation. America is in danger of becoming non-existent, we are closer than ever to complete economic collapse at the hands of socialist elites. Yes I believe much of what we are seeing has been engineered behind closed doors by globalist elite.
I for one refuse to give away my freedom and liberty to any global government entity. You'll NEVER see me flying a commercial flight anytime in the future due to the fact that I as an American citizen refuse to be treated like a criminal in my own country, by my own government.
Many good men did not shed their blood on American soil so that we could sell out the very things they died to secure for us, that being Liberty, and Justice for all. Freedom of Speech and of the Press, and especially Freedom of Religion, and the Free practice thereof. Please we must stop giving away our freedoms! Real national security comes from free men, with civil rights who will stand and defend liberty.
