Tea Party Patriots Not Obama Are the Real Faces of Tyranny

[meow2u3]

The shooting rampage in Tucson last week has re-ignited the debate on gun control with the regular cast of characters on each side passionately making their arguments for either sensible gun control or wild west gunslinger mentality. There is though, another side to the gun-control issue that involves insurrection and outright revolution against the government of the United States and therein lies the danger.

There has been a chorus of voices proclaiming that the 2nd Amendment was included in the Bill of Rights for the sole purpose of armed revolt against a tyrannical government, but the Founding Fathers certainly did not include any language to support that claim. The text of the amendment says, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” There is no mention of tyrannical government or revolution in the text of the amendment; just the right to possess firearms for a well-regulated militia.

At the time the 2nd Amendment was adopted, America did not have an army per se, so the Founders included the “well-regulated” militia, and when they included the “security of a free State” phrase, they meant the entire country; not individual states. The outrage by members of the tea party and many Republicans over the Federal government’s alleged overreaching into state’s rights has given rise to the “tenther” movement who claim that individual states have the right to ignore Federal laws. The provocateurs of the tenther movement have convinced the tea party faithful that President Obama’s legislative agenda is tyrannical and therefore infringing on state’s rights, thus prompting calls for “second amendment remedies” and incitement for citizens to be “armed and dangerous” to resist enforcement of federal laws.

The mysterious part of the equation is the tyranny that the tea party accuses President Obama of perpetuating on the country and particularly the individual states. It would be easy to say that the anger and alleged tyranny is the result of the Affordable Health Care Act, but the accusations began before the measure was signed into law. Even if the tea party groups considered the law tyrannical, they are not justified in complaining because the Congress was legally elected and legally passed the bill. If there is any wrongdoing at all, it is the instigators who are inciting violent revolution against the government that followed the rules of the Constitution in passing the health care law.
