About The Need To Reign In Government Abuse

Ignoring a previous rebuke by the Supreme Court government officials in the EPA sought to deny this citizen the right to use his land for a business venture.  Quote: "Mike Sackett said he and his wife were subjected to “hell” by federal bureaucrats in his case. “The EPA used bullying and threats of terrifying fines, and has made our life hell for the past five years. It said we could not go to court and challenge their bogus claim that our small lot had ‘wetlands’ on it. As this nightmare went on, we rubbed our eyes and started to wonder if we were living in some totalitarian country,” he said. “Now, the Supreme Court has come to our rescue, and reminded the EPA – and everyone – that this is still America, and Americans still have rights under the Constitution.”    http://www.wnd.com/2014/11/feds-upend-landowners-plans-for-own-property/

If the government is allowed to implement this progressive/leftist policy it will be another indication that the moral underpinnings of our culture are in rapid decline.   http://www.wnd.com/2014/11/schools-propose-let-boys-into-girls-locker-rooms/ 

This item illustrates how some liberal justices view the First Amendment.  In this case the decision rendered was a political correctness one and is representative to the sad state liberalism has wraught.   Quote: "It’s funny how the left has no problem with “intolerance” as long as it affects only Christians. For years, they’ve maintained that same-sex marriage should be allowed, often resorting to the “Why should you care?” argument. And it’s a persuasive argument. But now we see that same-sex marriage is not the endgame. It’s only the beginning."  And,  "In the trials facing the Giffords, we see a reflection of the Hobby Lobby case. We see the bakery owners who have been accused of discrimination for refusing to supply same-sex couples with wedding cakes. We see the T-shirt makers who have been fined for refusing to print gay pride shirts. We see individuals and businesses being told that the “rights” of gay couples somehow trump religious freedom. Strange how that should happen, considering one is expressly outlined in the U.S. Constitution and the other is…just a thing people are crying about."   http://www.leanrightamerica.org/uncategorized/homosexuality-trumps-christianity-ny-farm-fined-13000/

This item serves as an excellent reinforcement of the above item.  The government and leftist activists are making a mockery of the US Constitution.  http://eaglerising.com/11517/government-overreach-killing-freedom-religion/

These polling data should but probably won't give liberals and government operatives pause with regard to their incessantly seeking to end legal gun ownership.  Trying to take guns away from law abiding citizens is not an activity in which the government should not be engaged.  The Second Amendment says so.    http://therighttobear.com/bad-news-about-gun-safety-you-cant-afford-to-ignore/  This item reinforces the point made in the previous link.   http://totalconservative.com/2013-brought-higher-gun-sales-lower-crime-rates/
