Americans are getting that it’s not about Guns, it never was. In fact, we're all about to be nuts about Liberty, because social engineering trials of just a little socialism here and there tell the story.

No, it's not about Guns, it's all about Independence, citizen authority, and the realization that we are actually on our own. More than ever before, Americans feel their Independence is threatened like never before. 2008 was (is) a memorable year for experiencing Big Government, and for the first time, tens of millions of Americans are experiencing the very kind of forecast 80 million gun owners have warned about. Buying guns is a powerful sign that non-gun owner Americans now see this finally as it all relates to their homes and loved ones just as 80 million gun owners have described it. On reflection, non-gun owners can look back to see how 'just a little socialism' [freezing parents out of parenting, energy regulation, electronic suprervision and gun bans] haven't helped bring 'social justice' but only more power to officials.
Barack Obama has said many, many things which indicate that he has been groomed for this election for a long time – groomed – and this is frightening. It reveals much, much more than his having only a desire for the Oval Office for a long time -- it means he’s gotten a lot of help for a long time just for this election. It’s frightening the amount of work which seems to involve going back decades. Senator Obama believes in what he believes, but his background forming those beliefs betrays a one-sided view that government translates into social justice and not the goodness of Americans, and it seems that he never, ever learned about Liberty in America as the better path (or the fairness and goodness of Americans without the need for coercion). One begins to believe that his goals have nothing to do with social justice. From what he espouses, it seems he was never been taught about sovereignty, individual Independence from government, and other values which bring greater justice to people than anything conceived by the mind of Big Government types. Americans may say what they feel in reading Obama, but when they act, they really are feeling it, and it hurts.
Whether Obama really believes in his values or not is no longer germane as Americans are sensing danger of ever-increasing dependency on government, and reflect it by buying Guns, not in anticipation of any shoot-outs with our own troops, but in knowing that we are on our own, and in expectations of further intrusion, coercion to comply with rules or-else, a general perception of government indifference to the real needs of Americans, and worse, a general shakedown, and general interferences. These will likely include large databases, increased electronic supervision of citizens and puzzling policy in how violent crime is handled, including victim rights, self-defense, asset procurement, the bureaucracy, and other related issues. People are beginning to respond to how their sovereign authority is in the balance by how their money and safety are to be handled by bigger government with such a rotten track record on money and crime.
Liberty Nuts [purists passionate about our sovereignty] have been forecasting this increasing defiance of constituents for decades, and now, liberty itself is becoming an issue in Election ‘08. Spreading the wealth is just another indicator of how everything will be in the balance, including how crime is handled and how more individuals may be criminalized in the name of justice for others and fighting violence. You can smell that one coming.
Whatever opinions Obama may have, no matter how misguided by his upbringing, by his associations and those bad influences in his life, and even his own denials, he cannot be forgiven his fatherless mistakes for one reason: he will have the power to back all of his ideas with force, legal force which is unchecked and unadvised. With a liberal court, a liberal Congress and Cabinet, who will advise President Obama on American values? Will some of his friends over the decades be appointed to his Cabinet? He’s presently operating on socialist values..and has been for a very long time.
