From The Daily Caller

We’ve arrived at that place Ben Franklin warned us of when he shared his concern that one day Americans would trade liberty for security. He had a frightful anticipation that a day might come when the citizens of this country would exchange their liberties, risky as they were, for the comfort and security offered by government. And here we are, with food stamp usage at its highest in U.S. history, Obama phones in our pockets, U.S. autoworkers propped up by government bailouts, 99 weeks of Obama money via unemployment checks, three meals a day provided in public schools and the list goes on ad nauseam.

As a result of these things, many have been lured into looking to the state as an end-all-be-all for life’s harder moments. Thus, 911 is dialed not just for true emergencies, but also because someone can’t find the movie theater, or because their children aren’t behaving, or because Burger King got their order wrong.

Moreover, many people who don’t abuse 911 in this way still look to the government more than they realize, because they float through life trusting the state for their personal safety. If you think about it, everyone who lives life without keeping a gun near for personal protection is depending on the state to protect them. Actually, they are depending on the state to protect them, their family and their property.

Not to mention living the fairy tale of "it can't happen to me!!" Lot of stupid people out there... We have a chance to bring some sense of America back to this country in November..Where people realize they are responsible for their lives not Uncle Sam or the State. This time we can;t afford to get lazy and not watch every one of the bastards and keep them very aware of who is watching them..

Everytime I see "dial 911"


what my brain sees is:

I don't dial 911, I dial 1911

You know I follow the "stop the threat, reload, then call 9-11 approach.". I think it is good that we have emergency services on speed dial, but this is not the year 2400 and we don't have transporters so that means it will take time for them to get to you. While back-up is coming, you need to be able to take care of yourself, do some first aid knowledge and a means to defend yourself is a must.

I think that is the one excellent way to put it. Thanks for the link
