Yes They Can And Are Taking That Freedom Away! By

All fourth graders at my son’s elementary school presented a musical performance for family and friends about the history of California. It ended with the patriotic Lee Greenwood song, God Bless the U.S.A.
I cannot help it but I am sentimental and very proud and honored to be a citizen of this great, great country. Yet while I listened to the inspiring words, I had a bittersweet feeling come over me. Read carefully some of the key lyrics from this song as follows:
“If tomorrow all the things were gone I’d worked for all my life
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife
I’d thank my lucky stars to be livin’ here today
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can’t take that away.
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land God bless the USA”
Well today ladies and gentlemen almost everywhere you turn you see our freedoms being taken away from us. From the NSA collecting all of our phone records and storing them at our expense and potential peril. From local police departments using Stingray devices to not only track phone messages of suspected criminals but also all other people within a mile radius of the so-called target.
Go to a city council meeting and speak before the council members during public comments. The normal response no matter how serious your issue is usually complete silence to your concerns. However, if a political ally speaks glowingly about the council members, you can expect much banter back and forth. Yet we the public allow those council members who are our representatives to get away with their apparent disdain for our opinions and us.
Now we have a proposed bill California SB 277 that wants to make all vaccines mandatory taking away the personal beliefs and religious exemptions.
Many of you know the City of Fullerton’s attempt to take my freedom away. Why did they attempt to do this? I believe it was because I had the audacity to speak out against a policy supported by a majority of our city leaders. This is not the time for meekness nor apathy or complacency. We are at a crossroads today. Without a ground swell of opposition to this concerted effort by the political elites to take more and more freedom away and place it in the hands of those who many times have hidden agendas that are not in our best interests.
I implore each and every one of you who reads this message to get involved in you local government. Learn what is going on and speak out when it is at cross-purposes of our freedom and our United States Constitution.
I report, you decide!

Once again Anonymous shows his/her true colors. He infers that no one is reading this blog yet he reads every word of it and feels compelled to respond to just about every blog post.
Honesty and integrity is the backbone of any good individual and Anonymous once again proves he has neither quality.

After scrolling down about 900 inches of text in a blog post more convoluted than Rubik’s Cube , you can be guaranteed that Anonymous does not read every post. Anonymous checks in on this nonsensical blog every so often for a bit of comic relief.

You get off on the demise of the kids? You get off on the millions of people in this state that are about to be forcibly injected with more cancer viruses, have their kids sterilized at school and their property confiscated from the staged drought’s real estate fire sale? Is that comic relief? Dude get yourself some help. Like maybe have Dan Hughes, a few FPD thugs and his pastor give you the Kelly Thomas treatment, film it and you too can watch it 400 times while you eat your cheetos and relearn your ABC’s with Sex Ed Silva acting out the bathroom bill in your living room. You know you love it.
