I have never been the type to keep up with the news when it concerns the government, but, here lately there are things going on that have really captured my attention.
An anti-government group called "The Guardians of the free Republics" have sent a letter to Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon. Governors of other states have also received similar letters stating or better yet demanding that the states chief executors leave their offices within three days. Federal investigators have not yet seen threats of violence in these letters, but are concerned with what others may do. The Guardians of the free Republics website states "that it wants to “restore America” by peacefully dismantling parts of the government"". Oklahoma and Kansas have also received letters of the same sort. As in Missouri nothing has come into action as of this time, but these are events that are being monitored closely.
Although I do not disagree that there need to be some serious changes made to our government, I do not agree that this is the way to go about getting it done. It is one thing to stand up as a group and argue the wrongs, but don not do it by threat. That, in my mind, is childish. We all live in this country and have rules and laws that need to be aided by, there are certain ways to go about stating what we do not agree with and there are also ways to fight those things. This is not one of them. This type of action does nothing more than p--- people o--, and start security measures that should not need to be started in the first place.
The reason that I feel this was is for the simple fact of my family. I have a family that I am trying to raise to be good honest adults. What does actions like this say to them? Nothing good in my book. Yes, there are problems in our government right now, that is why we have elections and they are coming up soon enough.
What is that old saying, oh yes, "Why can't we just get along"!
