A Warning to the Left.

A warning for the left. As we start President Obama’s second term in office many people in this country are scared. For simplicity I call the factions left and right. No one term can accurately define the two sides. The left is scared of gun violence and the right is scared of the violence that will erupt without guns. The country is polarized into two camps. The left thinks because they won the Presidential election that they have a mandate to promote their causes disregarding the right. One of the things they are forgetting is there are about 310 million people in America. Only 118 million voted and of those Obama received only 3 million more votes than Romney. That’s only 2% more votes. That is nothing compared to the 310 million that live in this country. It’s practically a tie vote with two thirds of the country abstaining. Here’s the thing those 47% of conservative voters that voted against Obama, a large percentage absolutely disdain him, his policies and his goals. Every time he moves the country farther away from our founding principles he moves the country closer to the imaginary line in the sand that is the breaking point for many Americans. That line for each individual is in a different place, but for many the loss of America as we grew up in is pushing them closer to that line slowly every day. A sweeping gun control ban gutting the second amendment will be the final push across that line for many. They have watched our prosperity sold to the highest bidder, our children sold into debt slavery and finally our elected leaders want to disarm us, they won’t take any more. Gun owners feel just as strong about their constitutional rights as many people do about racism and equality in America. So if you push them too far and that line is crossed I want you to know what you are risking. If there is ever an uprising in America to restore the constitution, the gun owners will win. There are just so many more of us than anyone that wants to take our guns away. That is a simple fact. Even if we had to fight the entire military and every law enforcement agency in the country we would still win. That is not even taking into account that most of those people in the military and law enforcement take their oaths to support and defend the constitution very seriously. They did not swear to defend social engineering for a new America they will support a constitutional America. Secondly there are just way more of us than them. Again these are just simple facts, you can go look up the numbers of gun owners in the US to see if I am telling the truth. This is what should scare anyone that wants to take away any American’s God given rights, if there is an uprising the left will lose so much more than the right will. When those conservatives go to the capitol of the United States to put the country back in order, there will be changes. Fundamental American Conservative values will be the rule of law. Those causes that are so near and dear to your hearts will most likely be thrown on the scrapheap of history. These are just a few things I can think of that will probably not be allowed if this happens. ·        Unions will most likely be abolished or severely curtailed. ·        Gay marriage will be abolished. ·        Illegal aliens will be deported en mass anchor babies or not. ·         The media whose ownership has become more and more consolidated until only a few companies control the news, will be broken up and no one man or company will be allowed to control the news again. ·         Mandated health insurance will of course be abolished. ·        Tax refunds in excess of what a person paid in will end. ·        Affirmative action will cease. ·        Nuclear power and coal will gain favor and subsidizing alternative energy will end. ·        The EPA will lose much of its power. ·        The Department of Education will disappear. ·        Subsidized housing and many benefits for the poor will be eliminated. ·        Foreign Aid will end. ·        The United Nations will be asked to leave the country and the US will stop paying money to support it. ·        Abortion will become illegal. ·        Many current politicians may find themselves in a courtroom and explaining why they supported many unconstitutional measures and how they amassed fortunes so quickly in office. This is just a list I came up with in about twenty minutes. Do you really want to find out what 535 mad as hell conservative Congressmen and Senators will come up with once they regain control of America? Last but not least universal suffrage will become a thing of the past. It’s obvious that as long as the masses can vote for the guy that will give them the most pork barrel spending we will continue to have a country that can’t control its spending. So in my opinion most people will lose their right to vote. You will have to volunteer for the military or public works of some type to earn the right to vote, after all something not earned is not respected. Maybe you will have to be a land owner; perhaps you will have to pay to vote. Whatever it turns out to be, I don’t see us returning to the welfare state Congress has created. So ask yourself do you really want to push anyone across that line in the sand and force them to defend their rights? Is this battle for gun control worth risking everything I mentioned? Because I will tell you the gun owners of America are ready to take a stand. They have been pushed to far and many of them can see that line in the sand getting closer and they don’t want to step over it but they will if they think they are saving America for their children. They are law abiding people and want to stay that way, but they are done compromising. Please do not make them cross that line. (Disclaimer: I am not advocating violence in any shape or form, I am only explaining how many people feel and as a history major and fiction writer what the future might look like if we continue on our current course.)
