California’s legislature just passed and the governor signed
into law even stricter people control laws (otherwise known as “gun” control
laws) than they already had. This is what I see happening...and it occurred to
me that this might be even more coincidental than at first it seems.
Let me explain: Since moving here to Idaho, I have realized
just how many Californians are here. They have been trickling here from their
home state for many years. With more and more laws being enacted, California
citizens (and other similar no-freedom states) will make their way to more
Liberty-minded states seeking their ideal of freedom. Problem is, their ideal
of freedom is not the same as my ideal of freedom. They mean well and they
would say that they are freedom-loving. Unfortunately, this is a sample of what
you will hear:
*Permitless carry? “Oh, that seems a little extreme. I don’t
mind SOME restrictions and background checks, classes, etc. Because…safety.”
*Homeschooling? “No reporting here in Idaho? No work
samples? No required number of days? It seems like there should be at least SOME
oversight. Think about the CHILDREN!”
*Cell phone usage? “You mean I can speak while on my cell
phone here in Idaho? Seems like there should be a better distracted driving
law.”
Instead of always looking at each individual freedom and
dissecting it all to pieces and debating it over and over let’s start with the
basics: What would the Founders do? If John Adams showed up TODAY – what would
he have to say about this Independence Day and our so-called freedom? If
Benjamin Franklin walked in the room RIGHT NOW – would he say we’ve kept our
Republic? If Thomas Jefferson landed in the middle of Seattle TOMORROW – would
he say they’ve kept their Liberty or have ‘too small a degree of it’? Would
Samuel Adams say that Chicago’s peaceful citizens are able to properly protect
their life, liberty, and property?
I foresee a great exodus out of states that would control
their people, but not their borders. I see them moving to Liberty-minded states
with the greatest intentions of assimilating. But, see, they will not -- for
they have not ever tasted true freedom. Furthermore, they are a younger
generation who is unaware of the people-control mindset and indoctrination
happening now in government schools. They will fill our school boards, city
councils, legislatures and congress. They will influence our laws and our way
of life. The time has come for everyday, regular citizens to step up and run
for elected seats. Flood the system with passionate Constitutionalists. Get radio
air time, TV coverage, post on social media, write letters to the editor,
engage your neighbors and family and friends, don’t back down. Be vigilant…because
our Founders never stopped in their pursuit. We shouldn’t either. Do not let their
efforts be in vain.
