Post# 1000: The Thought Police...

It has been a long time since I've posted here. I still follow and bookmark lots of important news and information, though. But, given the latest in a string of related events, I felt it necessary to use this - my 1000th post - to give a hat-tip to Chris Muir, who himself hat-tips one of my all-time favorite authors… Ray Bradbury.

Yes, people, we are on very dangerous ground right now. On a global/government-led scale, it showed itself with the NSA and IRS scandals. On a societal/mob-mentality level, it showed itself with Chick-fil-A, Elaine Huguenin, Brendan Eich, George Zimmerman, Cliven Bundy, Donald Sterling, etc. (and all the hypocritical double-standards that are in stark contrast).

You play with fire, we all get burned.

It's Orwell's "1984" mixed with Huxley's "Brave New World" and Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451". Ladies & Gentlemen… I give you "2014: The Year of the Thought Police":

Privacy…

Private Property…

Self Defense…

Freedom of Religion…

Freedom of Thought…

Freedom of Speech…

These fundamental principles - these fundamental rights - are at risk. If we don't stop this now, we won't be able to turn back.
