Comments on: A Fine Line Between Soft Tyranny and Hard Tyranny http://lonelyconservative.com/2009/09/a-fine-line-between-soft-tyranny-and-hard-tyranny/ Observations from a conservative in a blue state. With a little help from my friends! Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:00:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: C Genhttp://lonelyconservative.com/2009/09/a-fine-line-between-soft-tyranny-and-hard-tyranny/comment-page-1/#comment-12009 C Gen Fri, 25 Sep 2009 01:30:33 +0000 http://www.lonelyconservative.com/?p=10694#comment-12009 Get post. It reminds me of something Obama said at the health care town halls that always bothered me. When explaining what "was in it for the middle class" Obama said, "peace of mind." Then I realized that this was the same argument that feudal lords used with the serfs. The lords would protect them from attacks and famine, give them peace of mind. Today, we are asked to turn control of health for the same thing people turned over their freedom hundreds of years ago. Get post.

I'm not sure there's any hope for NY. But a lot of states are talking about asserting sovereignty. Hopefully they will start acting on it. I think the only way to fight it, besides keeping the heat on and getting the word out about what they're doing in DC - is to start local movements for local control and states rights. Not so much secession, but states should start standing up to DC. The states created the federal government, not the other way around. I think they need to start pushing back. Let's hope enough of them do. Most of this blog is about national issues, but we all need to start thinking locally. I’m not sure there’s any hope for NY.

What do we do now? Can this nation sustain until 2012? Look what's happened so far. Our congress and senate certainly don't have their constituents or thier nations best interest at heart. We're being torn apart by the very people sworn to help keep this from happening. Yes…. What do we do now? Can this nation sustain until 2012? Look what’s happened so far.
