Without a doubt the founding fathers of this great nation are now spinning in their graves.  They pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to create a Constitutional Republic where each and every individual was meant to be free.  What we have now is the exact polar opposite of the free society they hoped to create.  As you can see from this Patriot Project article, conditions here in the United States have deteriorated to the point where the people have finally noticed.

Almost three-quarters of Americans are worried that the United States is devolving into a tyrannical police state that conducts mass surveillance, ideological indoctrination, censorship and the partisan targeting of political opponents, according to a new poll.

The latest survey by Rasmussen Reports found that 72 percent of likely voters are concerned that America is becoming a police state, with 46 percent saying they’re “very concerned.” Only 23 percent say they are not concerned.

In another indication of the public’s growing distrust of the U.S. intelligence community, half the respondents strongly agree that “the FBI is a danger to the freedom and security of law-abiding Americans.”

I was most surprised by this poll for a couple reasons.  Most Americans still seemed to be asleep to the fact that their freedoms have been all but stripped away.  To get that high percentage of positive responses, a significant percentage of those on the left would have agreed.

That last point most surprised me because Democrats have an abysmal record when it comes to freedom.  Guess what? An alarming number of Democrats think YOU have too much freedom as an American – Louder With Crowder

47% of Democrats say speech should only be legal “under certain circumstances.”

52% of Democrats support the government censoring social media under the guise of “national security.”

34% of Democrats say Americans have TOO MUCH freedom,

75% of Democrats support government censoring what they define as “hate speech.”

Both political parties are responsible for the transformation of the United States into a police state, thanks to the war on terror.  This transformation has greatly accelerated under the Biden Regime, ‘Used for political speech …’ FOIA shows Biden’s DHS censoring Americans was ABSOLUTELY political – Twitchy

New documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests show that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) argued that the agency could regulate speech related to “the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, racial justice, U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the nature of U.S. support to Ukraine” as well as “irregular immigration.”

Those subjects stretch across much of the “space” used for political speech in the last few years.

So DHS asserted the authority to target viewpoints on racial justice, Ukraine, and other political subjects, including views based on fact but viewed as misleading in context.

It is most foolish to expect that the youth of America will fix this, Students’ Lack of Basic Knowledge of US History and Civics Remains a National Embarrassment | American Enterprise Institute – AEI

Only 13 percent, in one survey, knew when the US Constitution was ratified, for example. Most couldn’t say which countries the US fought in World War II; only one in four could even say why American colonists fought a war against Great Britain. Unsurprisingly, older Americans have the easiest time of it, with 74 percent answering at least six in 10 questions correctly. Among those under the age of 45, only one in five pass, which says a lot about the debased standards of common knowledge expected of students in US schools, whose founding purpose was to prepare ordinary people for self-government.

A well armed American citizenry is the only force that can roll back our police state, that is why Biden Pledges to ‘Centralize, Accelerate, and Intensify’ Gun Control Push (breitbart.com).

While announcing the launch of the executive Office of Gun Violence Prevention, President Joe Biden pledged to use the office to “centralize, accelerate, and intensify” his administration’s gun control push.

Biden noted that he has chosen Vice President Kamala Harris to oversee the office.

After Biden announced the launch of the new office on Friday, he then called for an “assault weapons” ban, a “high capacity” magazine ban, and universal background checks. He also called for Congress to take action for more gun restrictions then he pledged to use the office to “centralize, accelerate, and intensify” his administration’s gun control push.
