Tyranny, it is what our founding father fought and died to
deliver us from and has been the direction of our elected officials and
government for the past 20+ years but to recognize what tyranny is you must
understand the definition.
Tyranny: Arbitrary or unrestrained exercise of power; despotic
(Synonym: oppressive, tyrannical, dictatorship) abuse of authority; the government
or rule of a tyrant or absolute ruler. A state ruled by a tyrant or absolute rule;
oppressive or unjustly severe government on the part of any ruler; undue
severity or harshness.
Does this sound familiar; it should because for the past two
to four decades it has been the direction of our government. Our police and
military are being trained to disarm the American citizens, but if our
lawmakers believe in the US Constitution, why would the do that; they wouldn’t!
Remember the words of a politician are like the actions of a wolf, used to lure
the lamb to the slaughter. This reminds me of a fable I once read:
The Wolf and the Lamb
A Wolf, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved
not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb
the Wolf’s right to eat him. He thus addressed him: “Sirrah, last year you
grossly insulted me.” “Indeed,” bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice,
“I was not then born.” Then said the Wolf, “You feed in my pasture.” “No, good
sir,” replied the Lamb, “I have not yet tasted grass.” Again said the Wolf,
“You drink of my well.” “No,” exclaimed the Lamb, “I never yet drank water, for
as yet my mother’s milk is both food and drink to me.” Upon which the Wolf
seized him and ate him up, saying, “Well! I won’t remain supperless, even
though you refute every one of my imputations.” The tyrant will always
find a pretext for his tyranny.

It reminds me of our politicians because they try and
justify their immoral and many times illegal actions and when we the people
call their bluff, we are devoured like the innocent lamb. What happens when we
are not devoured? We are used like and not given what had been promised as in
“The Wolf and the Crane”.
The Wolf and the Crane
A WOLF who had a bone stuck in his throat hired a Crane, for
a large sum, to put her head into his mouth and draw out the bone. When the
Crane had extracted the bone and demanded the promised payment, the Wolf,
grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed: “Why, you have surely already had a
sufficient recompense, in having been permitted to draw out your head in safety
from the mouth and jaws of a wolf.” In serving the wicked, expect no reward,
and be thankful if you escape injury for your pains.

Our politicians have exchanged our liberty for their tyranny.
I have attached some very interesting videos you might want to watch that
spells out our problems and the politicians and government becoming more and
more tyrannical and dictator like. I wonder what the founding fathers thought
about this. Here is some of their quotes:
"Guard against the impostures of pretended
patriotism." George Washington
“Arms in the hands of individual citizens may be used at
individual discretion for the defense of the country, the over-throw of
tyranny, or in private self-defense” John Adams
"It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without
God and the Bible." George Washington
“It's not tyranny we desire; it's a just, limited, federal
government.” Alexander Hamilton
"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is
force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." George
Washington
“Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality
can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to
expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”
George Washington
“If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in
the guise of fighting a foreign enemy” James Madison
“Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.” Thomas
Jefferson
“Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by
tyrants” William Penn
“Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental
opinion of a day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period
and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a
deliberate, systematic plan of reducing [a people] to slavery.” Thomas
Jefferson
"The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our
civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend
them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our
worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense
of treasure and blood. It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the
present generation – enlightened as it is – if we should suffer them to be
wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by
the artifices of designing men." Samuel Adams
“How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain
Meaning of Words!” Samuel Adams”
“Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted
the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of
illegitimate government” James Madison
“Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor
do they deserve, either one.” Benjamin Franklin
