By John W. Whitehead – US Constitutional attorney, Charlottesville, Virginia: These
are dangerous times. Mind you, when I say that these are dangerous
times, it is not because of violent crime, which remains at an all-time low, or because of terrorism, which is statistically rare, or because our borders are being invaded by armies, which data reports from the Department of Homeland Security refute.
No, the real danger that we face comes from none other than the U.S.
government and the powers it has granted to its standing army to steal,
cheat, harass, detain, brutalize, terrorize, torture and kill.
The danger “we the people” face comes from masked invaders on the
government payroll who crash through our doors in the dark of night,
shoot our dogs, and terrorize our families.
