"Tyranny begins where law ends," said William Pitt.
Surely someone, somewhere, somehow, in our Na.
tion's Capital, must soon awaken to a dangerous national
situation which has been recognized by millions of Ameri.
cans for a long time.
Obviously the United States of America is in real
trouble, at home and abroad, and if something isn't done
now to attempt to cur)) the rising tide of tyrannical
malcontents there may be disaster ahead.
Surely mnst of us are fed up to our chin with poverty
marchers, lawless student mobs, race riots, crime in the
streets, shootings, pornography, strikes, war, and the
volatile economic situation.
We are living in strangely deranged times, where
there is very little peace of mind. We have become a Nation
of dreary, frightened, confused people, sorely in
need of powerful, honest and forthright leadership, always
wondering "What next?"
In the past score or so of years an amazing majority
of us have been brain-washed by vast floods of
propaganda from Washington, and many other parts of
the world. Because of a lack of proper information we
have been lulled into a state of false security, and are
now living in a sort of patriotic: coma.
Our hopes have been raised by half-truths, and
outright fabrications and false promises, only to have
them shattered when the truth became known.
Sad to state, but many, too many Americans have
remained deaf, dumb and blind through one horrible
crisis after another, Millions of them choose not to vote.
They have become imbued with a "don't give a damn"
attitude.
Now, in this national election year of 1968, the
chips are down. It's time for the citizens of this great
and glorious land to awaken and fight the evil forces
which beset us from within and without, or face the
possibility of losing all that we hold dear-liberty and
the pursuit ~f happiness!
Perhaps Cassius was right when be declared: "The
fault, dear Brutus, lies not 'il) our star~but in our.
selves." As they once did in ancient Rome, we ih America
seem to have lost "the breed of noble bloods." In
truth, there are no true statesmen in today's political
arena.
Some students of history believe that the United
States new is in greater danger of having its liberties
trampled into the dust than at any time since the
Revolution!l.ry War.
There are bands of protesters lurking everywhereand
the Congress is rushing pe]].me]] to pass laws in an
attempt to thwart the malcontents, without serious
thoughts of how these statutes may affect the future of
the nation.
Certainly law.abiding citizens do not wish to find
themselves tyrannized by a government which makes
hurried attempts to curb tyrants at large in the land by
adopting new laws.
At this fearsome hour what America seems to need,
more than anything else, are governments - federal,
state, county and' municipal-which will rigidly enforce
the laws already on the statute books. Passing so.called
emergency laws only will snip away more of the freedoms
which still remain, and add to the present confusion.
Knowledgeable law enforcement leaders are the first
to admit that strict adherence to the laws we already
have would go a long way to solving many of our present
problems. And, they would hope, that the Supreme Court
may take some action to remove many of the roadblocks
it has placed in their paths.
Don't you. as a freedom.loving citizen. think it's
ahout time for the American people to get up off their
big fat indifferences, and fight {or the right they adore
with the most powerful ,weapons at their disposal-the
ballot and public opinion?
Let us all start, right now, to give battle to hoth our
seen and unseen enemies hard at work, endeavoring to
unoermine our sacred institutions. W.W.F.
