Domestic Marxists are the enemy
In his recent opinion piece in The Lancaster News, Marshall Benson asked the question, “Who is the enemy we’re all so afraid of?”
Then, he graciously tells us who we are allegedly afraid of in a long, meandering, specious manner that sounds familiar, as this is what we hear daily from the usual media organs of the National Democrat Socialist Party!
Mr. Benson states that “The Constitution allows for the ownership of weapons as part of a ‘well-regulated militia.’ ” Later, he asserts, “Once the United States raised a standing military, the well-regulated militia of the Second Amendment was no longer needed.”
Since I did not recall that, I pulled out my copy of the Constitution and Bill of Rights to check.
Amendment II: “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Mr. Benson seems to have forgotten, “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.”
And neither the Constitution nor the Bill of Rights declare that once a standing military exists that the Second Amendment is no longer needed. I searched, but failed to find that the right of the people to keep and bear arms was to cease to exist at any time or for any reason!
There is no enemy that I am afraid of, but I am concerned for the American republic as the domestic Marxists have infiltrated like a cancer throughout our society and institutions — our education system, governmental bureaucracies and political bodies, the mainstream media and elsewhere. Domestic Marxists are the enemy and they must be repelled before they complete their enslavement of your children, grandchildren and America.
