Catholic and Enjoying It!
…(on the Right) over how some guys in a cave in Afghanistan and (on the Left) how some dark theocratic conspiracy of soccer moms and NASCAR enthusiasts were going to “take away our freedoms”, here the problem was right where common sense, the Founders, and the Church has always warned it is: in the immense concentration of power and wealth in the hands of a few wealthy and powerful people.
Their latest move to subjugate you to a Caesaroligarchic Police State?:
So the TV show Person of Interest just became real in the city where it’s set.

This black box system sorts all the data feeds from all the CCTV cameras, cell phones, computers, and other digital detritus looking for patterns that might indicate the planning of some kind of terrorist attack.

Now Microsoft has partnered with the NYPD (last seen pretending their jurisdiction extends to New Jersey) and Nanny Bloomberg to make the whole thing real. And they’ve succeeded!
Read the whole thing. These people are control freaks. And they will not stop unless we make them stop. Our Ruling Class hates us for our freedom. They are the main enemies of liberty we face, not some foreign power. That’s why they are the enemies of religious liberty. They are exceedingly jealous gods.
One of the marks of heresy I have noticed is its tendency over time to morph into its opposite. So radical feminism ends with extolling making women into sex objects.

And Operation Enduring Freedom’s legacy is a Enduring Slavery.
