What the hell, people?

 Eric Utter at the American Thinker today tells us that The authoritarians must be stopped. It's clear from the start that Utter is mad as hell about the authoritarians who have tried to tells us what to do and to think, to the point of censoring other opinions.

There can't be a worse, more dangerous, and outright evil class of people than those who want to tell others how to think and what to do. Those who would rule you and take away your liberty do not do it "for your own good." Ever. The Founders knew this. That is why they pushed back hard against "The Intolerable Acts." It is why they tossed tea into the harbor. It is why they eventually fought the world's mightiest military. And it is why they so valued the Right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness granted to us by our Creator.

This is our heritage as citizens of the United States of America. And I, for one, am getting damned sick of that heritage being bastardized, twisted, denied, denigrated, and mocked.
Despite what so many now claim, the truth is that the United States of America is an exception nation. It is exception not because we are "better" than other nations, but rather because we are the only nation with a Constitution that obligates our government to defend the peoples rights to life, liberty and happiness. But more and more our government does not do these things, it is illegitimate. And those who work for the taxpayers are not supporting and defending the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. Instead, they seek power by defying the Constitution. And too many seem to be happy to let them.
To wit: Does anybody truly believe that those who want to ostracize the unvaccinated, tax them, fine them, take away their livelihoods, and confine them to "camps" really wish to do so out of concern for the unvaccinated? Or for anybody — or anything — else but their own power? Is this why people in need of life-saving organ transplants are being sent away if they haven't acquiesced to the jab? Is this why those who so loudly profess deep concern for their fellow man so often make comments about those with whom they disagree, like "let them die"?
Democrats and "progressives," and authoritarians of all stripes, have imposed their will on the rest of us for two years now, in the form of mask and vaccine mandates. At times they have told us we can't go to work or leave our homes, have our family over for Christmas, attend church, go to weddings, visit dying relatives, or even allow more than a handful of people to grieve with us at their funerals.
What the hell, people?! Those who created, fought, and died for this country would be equal parts stunned, devastated, repulsed, and angry if they could see it now. So much for a limited government "of, by, and for the people."
Like Utter said, what the hell? If we don't start resisting now, are we really going to do it when they start really cracking down?
