- Americans Must Do Whatever It Takes to Keep Freedom
The Bush administration has used the same tactics as Franklin D. Roosevelt used on March 9, 1933, when Congress enacted the Emergency Banking Relief Act. Just like the Patriot Act of today, most members of Congress never got to read the bill. They were just asked by the House and Senate leadership to enact it. Within that bill there was a revision of the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917 that changed the relationship between the government and the people. With the stroke of a pen, Roosevelt re-classified the American people as enemies of their own government.

From a Washington Post news story about monitoring rifle sales in border states, it seems that Obama et al. have foisted off on law- abiding Americans a scheme first proposed by the BATFE (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) that requires reporting of multiple sales of certain semi-automatic rifles to our own, homegrown "Gunstapo" -- the same mob that conducted Operation Fast and Furious. Or has Fast and Furious, under the weight of congressional investigations, been shut down? Some might be aware of Fast and Furious, which seemingly has turned out to be a giant zit on the already scarred face of Obama's Department of Justice and the BATFE.
