BOSTON: Putting it into perspective

With the recent bombing in Boston, I have to come out and say this. This is really absolutely terrible for the whole country, a tragedy for those family and friends of the victims.

I do not even want to think of the horror those involved suffered, but this is nothing compared to what happened in Iraq where 46 died and 300 plus injured, on the same day. We think oh well it is Iraq, they had WMDs they deserve it, well maybe they did, but so do we! When will we learn to stop killing each other over corporate greed and government lies?

We really need to take our founders’ advice, to not give up our liberty for security, and stop entangling alliances with nations around the world. We need to stop foreign aid, and bring our troops home! We should have elected Ron Paul and follow the Golden rule when it comes to our foreign policy, and for that matter with each other in our own country.

As James Madison said, “If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”

We live in a police state; more laws are not the answer. What is needed is more tolerance of each other. Stop hating others because they do not live like you. Live and let live, and don’t accept any more false claims of security in exchange for liberty.

May God bless all those suffering from the madness of this world!
