Unlike in violent revolutions, our conquest by the state has been gradual. The tools for our oppression are deceptive and at first blush, benign. Take environmentalism--who can argue against clean air and water? How about health care reform, who would deny care for those genuinely in need. These are but two examples of "beneficial" programs/movements which, if examined closely, reveal the growing heavy hand of a totalitarian state. We are well on the road.
Take Obamacare: To save resources-- they will come for the terminally to pull the plug, then they will come for the chronically ill & disabled-- they are too costly to "maintain", then they will come for those who disagree with the state and label them "mentally ill"-- because their condition poses a threat.
The following post is another frightening example of the last scenario.
Excerpt |"For having the temerity to express his opinions Mr. Raub was kept in custody for an evaluation based on the opinion of one Michael Campbell, a psychotherapist hired by local law enforcement that had never interviewed Mr. Raub, but somehow felt he was capable of determining that the former Marine might be a danger. Psychiatrists at the mental institution, however, found nothing wrong with him.
According to The Rutherford Institute, which is representing the former Marine, in a hearing on Aug. 20 government officials pointed to the Facebook posts as the reason for incarceration. While Mr. Raub stated that the Facebook posts were being read out of context, a Special Justice ordered that he be held up to 30 more days for psychological evaluation and treatment. But Circuit Court Judge Allan Sharrett ordered his immediate release a short time later because the concerns raised by the officers were “so devoid of any factual allegations that it could not be reasonably expected to give rise to a case or controversy.”
