This past year Adam Kokesh, the former U.S. Marine sergeant, appeared at the Jefferson Memorial.
This time more people showed up to dance peacefully at the Memorial associated with civil freedoms.
The Obama regimes please rallied a crowd control unit and closed the Memorial to the dancers.
Kokesh (a combat veteran of the Iraqi war) was brutally slammed to the marble floor last week.  Video shows the veteran of Falujah   violently thrown down and restrained.   Kokesh was arrested for dancing at the Jefferson Memorial. Though he was later released with just a few bruises.

Anyone who saw the video would question that arrest.  At most, the arrest could have been for 'attempted' dancing.  Former sergeant, Kokesh is rhythmically challenged and cannot dance.  Like many  rhythmically challenged adults,  Adam can not keep a beat. 
More of Kokesh's friends showed up the next week. Sadly, not enough to deter the squelching of their assembly.  Fortunately, many of Kokesh's supporters  are more rhythmically endowed than he. These unlikely champions of civil rights could use a little help.

The Obama police quickly mustered and pushed 'We the People' out of the shrine of civil rights.
The Preamble to the Declaration of Independence is said to have been written by Thomas Jefferson.  The immortal
phrase ' We the people...' originates in the preamble to the Declaration of Independence.

-Doing right - harder than it sounds o_o?-

The words of a thoughtful man.

The yearning to be taken care of by the government is most dangerous. This pursuit of the collective whether Marxist, Communist, Progressive, Capitalist or by any other name  in execution is suspect at best.
On the way to collective material nirvana the populous would constantly run the risk of being enslaved and killed by monolithic governments.
The idea that we can design and 'build' a human utopia is unbridled hubris.
Should the construction of utopia succeed it would only provide a nicer place from which we could go to hell. Or to be ultimately consumed by government.  Governments are necessary to groups because so much more can be accomplished with a good and stable government than without one. That being said - remember that Government is like fire, a useful servant but a fearful master.  Like fire governments must be carefully handled and always  with the means to curb them in hand. 

Big governments are like alligators.
If you are confined in a pond filled with large alligators, it does not matter how many others you feed to the alligators.  Rest assured that you will also be eaten.  Feeding others to the alligators only delays your appearance on the menu.
