I created the Perverted Perfection Website at
http://politics.billknell.com so that people could get another
view of all things political. Apart from Left, Right or
somewhere in between, there is the fact that politicians have
been steadily increasing their control over our lives. That
control has nothing to do with any of the knee jerk issues or
colorful people we love to hate on either side of the aisle in
government. It’s all about CONTROL and always has been.
Despite any moves in either political direction over the past
twenty years, the government has seized more control over
everything you do. This is not about protecting you from
terrorists, lowering or raising taxes or anything other then a
power grab. Nothing illustrates this more then the recent
decision by the U.S. Supreme Court regarding a government’s
right to seize private property for public use.
It’s been a trend throughout the nation. Huge tracts of
privately owned land are seized by local cities, towns and
villages and turned over to big box store developers. The idea
is that everyone will benefit because more tax revenue will be
generated by a big store then the Johnson’s Horse Stable or
Shelly Greenberg’s two bedroom home. However, what happened to
the private property rights of those people? Given this
decision, it would be almost foolish for anyone to buy any land
unless it’s part of some preplanned and approved subdivision. In
short, the government is now forcing people to live where they
want them to. It’s social engineering, pure and simple.
When I first started my Website in the late 1990s, my concern
was to make people aware that they were being used and
manipulated by politicians with an agenda that serves their own
purposes. Now the chickens have come home to roost. Law after
law is being proposed before Congress that will limit your right
to live life the way you want to in a free society. A good
example is the PAWS act. This legislation is supposed to protect
animals. The idea is to bring all dog and cat breeders of any
size under the control of the federal government. It doesn’t say
that, but read it carefully. If you advertise or sell your pups
online, you are their target. As if it’s any surprise in a
politically correct America, Rescue Groups are immune from this
legislation.
There will always be a bad guy the government uses as an excuse
to chip away at your Rights. Whether it’s drug dealers,
terrorists, puppy mill operators or someone else, it will be YOU
who will lose your Rights and the bad guys will still be there.
That’s because the legislation that ends up as law doesn’t
mention drug dealers, terrorists or puppy mill operators. It
mentions YOU. You are the one who will be told where to live,
how to travel, what to eat, what type of business you can own
and which activities they feel are politically correct enough
for you to be involved in.
I hate to say I told you so, but I did. I predicted that no
matter which party was elected in any election, YOU would be the
loser. I always say to use your vote before you lose it. That
time may have already past.
