• I think I might be done

  Well, aside from the fact that I am seeing rumors about xanga closing down, I may also stop blogging, for good.

  I really didn’t think this would happen in my life, but it looks like our country is going the way of England, Sweden, and Belgium.  They are taking away our freedom of speech, and cracking down on internet speech.  We already know how solidly anti-Christian they are, and how anti-American.  We see them trying to make sharing about Christianity in the military a court martial offense.  We see them equating the Founding Fathers with terrorists.  We see them trying to classify the traditional patriotic American as a domestic enemy.  We see them listing people who are pro-life or members of right wing 3rd parties as potential domestic terrorists.  We see them trying to label X-soldiers/veterans as domestic terrorists, as well as patriotic groups.  We see them stockpiling hollow point rounds and armored vehicles for domestic use while they try to take away our guns.  We see a government that prefers the alien, and the hostile alien, over the citizens.

  Now they want to monitor the internet, in their quest to locate more “domestic terrorists.”  Big corporations such as Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and Apple are already on board with our ridiculous and treasonous government. Guess who the “domestic terrorists” are going to be?  Not the real actual terrorists, but people who speak out against that lot.  It’s going to be like England, where you get arrested for talking bad about a certain ideology, and perhaps about the government.  Even if you don’t get arrested, there is still the chance of being blacklisted, which means that you will not be able to get a job, and maybe they will draw more money from you during taxes.  Also let’s not forget that the groundwork has been laid for target killings of American citizens on American soil, without trial.  

  Regardless of where you fall on the political and religious/ideological spectrum, everyone SHOULD understand that the most important freedom is freedom of speech.  All other freedoms hang on freedom of speech.  Regardless of how offensive you find another person’s beliefs or ideas, they have just as much a right to their own opinion and to speak their mind as you do.  Freedom of speech is how the little guy holds those in power accountable.  Without freedom of speech you can have no other freedoms.  I would rather risk getting my feelings hurt than lose my ability to hold those in power accountable, or point out the dangers of any policy or ideology.  

  The loss of freedom of speech is tyranny, and from there it’s not just a slippery slope but a sheer drop off to further depredations.

  So much has been stripped away during/by the Obama administration.  He said he would fundamentally change America, and he has.  I have seen this country turn into something that no longer resembles the USA I grew up in.

  It’s also worth noting that this is probably impossible to reverse.  The Democrats will win the next election as well, assuming that Obama decides to step down.  They will do it through a combination of rigged elections and bringing in voting ringers.  By “voting ringers” I am of course referring to people being brought in from the 3rd world in large numbers and being given citizenship and welfare money in exchange for voting Democrat.  Also, I expect that the majority of people who voted for Obama did not learn their lesson this time, and are incapable of learning.  Incapable of linking A to B, cause to effect, or understanding the value of freedom.  It’s easy to dismiss the value of freedom of speech when you’re a liberal, because you are towing the same line as the state so you are in no IMMEDIATE danger (although eventually you will be).

  But the left has won this one, not through logical argument, not through compliance with the Constitution, but through unlawful force.

  While I am rather ambivalent towards death, I don’t like the idea of having any chance for upward mobility cut off, assuming I had any chance to begin with.  I have already struggled enough, and failed enough, and continue to struggle without the added difficulties that being blacklisted would bring.  So I think I’m done with blogging.  It’s a shame really, because this was one way in which I really contributed positively to society.  This is one way I used my intellect and abilities to make the world a better place.  Now I can do nothing.  I suppose I will devote my intellect to winning in StarCraft2, and finishing Skyrim and Borderlands 1 & 2 until the state makes those things illegal as well, at the behest of the gun control crowd and the femanist movement.  There are so many things I wanted to talk about, from spanking children to foreign policy, but now I can’t.  One of the worst things that can happen to someone like me is to be muzzled.  As one of my friends likes to say, “I have no mouth but I must scream.”  That is the situation now.

  I feel so tired, and so old.  I have less energy and love of life than my parents and grandparents, who are in their late 50′s and late 80′s respectively.  I don’t see that there is anything positive to look forward to in the future.  I’m thinking I might leave this country, but the truth of the matter is that I don’t want to be in this world any more.  Maybe I will become a wanderer in the world, a man with no country, and thus no reason to care what happens to any particular country.  In that case I would just be waiting for death, and not really existing for any kind of purpose, but the days when one man could really make a large positive difference are gone.  I’m tired, and I have no energy, and no hope.
