Here is a transcript of this great speech.

Some people are just so wonderful that they absolutely defy description.

Ron Paul is retiring. But the R3VOLution he inspired LIVES!

He didn’t actually say this, but he might as well have.

On November 9, Aurora police arbitrarily detained almost 3000 innocent people for over eight hours. I called them on it on Facebook. Here is a transcript of the exchange.

Police Vehicles http://www.aurorasentinel.com/news/judge-sides-with-cops-in-mass-traffic-stop/

Aurora Police Department The Aurora Police Department has the utmost concern for the safety of our citizens, especially children and will take every precaution necessary to keep them safe and out of danger.

ME: There was a murder in my condo association in September 2011. Why was there not a lockdown at the neighborhood elementary school? This school is a lot closer to my condo association than Jewell was to those apartments.

ME: Also, if you are so concerned for the safety of people, why did you not do lockdowns on the nearby King Soopers and Best Buy? Why not a lockdown on the Aurora Mall as well? I mean, like, there could have been an armed gunman there too.

ME: Just because a judge rules something does not make it valid. The Fifth Amendment protects against infringements on liberty without due process. Mass detentions are just this: infringements on liberty. And if you are going to violate the most basic liberties of innocent people, what will you do next?

ME: Yes, the prospect of a gunman who has shot at police – or anyone else for that matter – would concern me. However, a government that arbitrarily violates the rights of innocent people FOR WHATEVER REASON concerns me far more.

Such is the takeaway from this story from 7News in Denver.

Two schools were locked down and several thousand people, some as young as five, were held hostage for eight hours by the Aurora, CO, police this past Friday.

From the article:

When 7News called Aurora police to ask about potential public safety concerns, Aurora police spokesperson Lt. Frank Fania refused to give us any information regarding this incident and told 7News to never call again.

While we are at it, let’s just let the rest of the government run wild too.

Aurora PD, back in June.

I would blog at greater length about this. However, at this moment, I am so angry I cannot even see straight. I just want the world to know what the police are doing in my home of 18 years, Aurora, Colorado, just east of Denver.

On June 2 of this year, the Aurora Police unlawfully detained about 40 innocent people for two hours while apprehending a bank robber.

Whenever any government official – be it the president or the local cop – oversteps the constitutional limits on their authority, the question you must ask is: WHAT IS NEXT?

The Scriptures tell us that “the eyes of man are never satisfied”. The eyes of government at all levels are therefore never satisfied. They always want more power, control and influence. Give them and inch and they take a mile.

If the June episode did not make your blood boil, what happened today, November 9, 2012, certainly should.

The Aurora Police placed two schools – Jewell Elementary and Gateway High School – on lockdown from 8:15 am to 4:45 pm. Why were a few thousand innocent people, some as young as five years old, unlawfully detained for eight and a half hours? What prompted the Aurora Police to go Pyongyang Style?

A tale of two styles.

According to www.9news.com:

 “Two Aurora schools were placed on lockdown for more than eight hours Friday after police located a car they believe belongs to a man who shot at two metro-area police officers this past week. The lock down order was lifted at 4:45 p.m.

“Aurora police were at an apartment complex at East Mississippi Avenue and South Sable Boulevard in Aurora where the car was found Friday morning. During the investigation, two Aurora schools, Gateway High School and Jewell Elementary, were placed on lockdown.

“During the eight-hour lockdown, students and staff were not allowed to leave the classroom. School officials had to serve lunch to students in their classroom.

“Police say the extreme measures were taken to protect the citizen(s), schools and businesses in the area. Police searched the apartment complex and believe the suspect is not there.”

Again, you have to ask: WHAT IS NEXT?

When will you speak up? When will you wake up? When will you get a clue?

WHEN WILL YOU DRAW THE LINE?

IF YOU TOLERATE THIS, WHAT WON’T YOU TOLERATE?

Why couldn’t the police have held the kids at the schools all weekend? Why couldn’t they have molested the kids TSA-style? Why couldn’t they have done cavity searches on everyone?

If you tolerate this, I don’t give a rat’s gluteus maximus who you voted for. You deserve a president worse than Obama.

Read this sentence from the 9News story again: “Police say the extreme measures were taken to protect the citizen(s), schools and businesses in the area.”

The way it was in 1958.

Mass detentions are a characteristic of totalitarian regimes. So is claiming that tyranny “protects the citizens”.

It looks like the cops got the car they were looking for. So I guess the ends really do justify the Stalinist means. (Please note that this article reserves any mention of the lockdown for the last three paragraphs. Likewise for this Denver Post article.)

I grew up in a quaint little town in the recently hurricane-ravaged swamps of Jersey. “Local cops” were words that came just before “cherry tops” in a Bruce Springsteen lyric. The police pretty well left us alone in the 1970s and 80s. It is not just the Aurora police that are running wild. This is happening all over America. Oh, that America was a freer and more peaceful country.

Here is what happened when a Denver TV station tried to contact the Aurora Police.

Not to blow my own horn, but I said this first:

“When you let people do whatever they want, you get Woodstock.
When you let governments do whatever they want, you get Auschwitz.”

Thank you Mike Blevins for finding this picture.

“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” – II Corinthians 9:7

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to KrisAnne Hall for exposing the fraud that is Florida’s Amendment 8!!!

“There shall be no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting or penalizing the free exercise thereof. Religious freedom shall not justify practices inconsistent with public morals, peace, or safety.No individual or entity may be discriminated against or barred from receiving funding on the basis of religious identity or belief.”

This is a bad idea for a lot of reasons. Read KrisAnne’s devastating analysis here!!!

“The first time a Republican became president, he undermined habeas corpus, racked up loads of debt, and started a war that killed half a million Americans. The last time a Republican became president, he undermined habeas corpus, racked up loads of debt, and started a war that killed half a million foreigners. But if we keep working within the Republican Party, maybe we can turn it into an engine for peace and liberty, just like it used to be back at no time whatsoever.” — Anthony Gregory

“Next Tuesday, you can vote for a politician who sees an expansive role for government in every area of American life, whose largest executive accomplishment was socializing medicine, a gun grabber and stealth tax raiser who sees the economy as something to be managed by central planners rather than entrepreneurs, a protectionist who has championed four years of bailouts, war, and attacks on fundamental civil liberties. Or you can vote for Obama. The election of a lifetime!” — Anthony Gregory

Our last “conservative” president outspent Kommunist Klinton by $1 trillion per year and added $5 trillion to the debt. For five of his eight years in office, he had a “conservative” House and Senate majority. – Me
